The very idea that Thor 6 or whatever it is could compete with a JLA movie at the box office is a ridiculous indictment of Warner and the American people. But the DCEU hasn't done anything that would keep people around besides put the characters together in live action. They can see that in a picture or a trailer. You guys are looking at it as the characters and not what the movies have done. Anybody can make a Justice League, Superman, Batman, and Batman and Superman movie. The problem is: can they make them good? At least with Thor you can see in the trailer that they learned from past mistakes. With Justice League it looks like the same thing we got before. Everyday moviegoers will notice that.You're so right. My post was more in the abstract sense, like -- "if you'd told me ten years ago Warner was ordering every executive in every boardroom to cross all of his/her fingers and toes in the desperate hope that people will buy tickets to see what should be a MEGA-event GUARANTEED to clear a cool billion bucks so that it can compete with a solo Thor movie, I wouldn't have believed you for all the money Ragnorak's about to make!" The fact is, DC has miles to go before they sleep. I hope WW and JLA will be strides in the direction you're describing, but I honestly have no confidence or evidence to indicate that's the case. Alas.

you just can't go wrong with a good song/rendition. Or having fucking color. If someone told Zack Snyder that colour isn't the enemy of comic book movies, it would be news to him.

Alas. I'm hoping that Wonder Woman has a Logan* effect on me. The Snyder movies are like Singer's X-men movies. His DCEU movies give me this feeling of "I'm a fan so I gotta watch these movies, but guuuuh." But then, for X-men, Logan comes along and it gives me hope for the next X-men movies. Wonder Woman being made by someone else (even though you can see some hallmarks) might be that change of atmosphere that would get people to want to see Justice League. And if it is good, I'm so glad that it came out between Suicide Squad and Justice League. But then again... Justice League is in that same type of time frame with Wonder Woman as Apocalypse was to Deadpool. *Even though Deadpool was good, it didn't give that hope for the next movie because Apocalypse was already made and Deadpool was basically an independent movie.
