Yep, and that's ignoring any sense of continuity, like I said.

So fucking what? No artist has any obligation to follow or give the slightest shit about a corporate plan for a shared universe. Comic book artists create stand alone, original stories unconnected to official continuities all the time. You have no rational case for this pathetic whining.

You're acting like independent vision is more creative, and it isn't.

Yes, it is. Anyone with any sort of artistic IQ knows this.

Also, it's not a corporate plan, it's a collective vision that is still artistic and creative.

There is no evidence whatsoever that the scheme for a DC shared universe in film was ever anything but the dream of studio executives with one plan and one plan only: making money.

That's fine. I've enjoyed the results more than most so far, faults and all. I'm just not going to throw an absurd tantrum over the idea that the movies are doing what the comics have always done: creating stand alone content unconnected to the shared universe.

If an artist is being given someone elses' toys, then they owe it to the people they're merely borrowing from to follow the owners' wishes with those things they're being lent.
