The Batman is a one-off movie with a single superhero. I'd gladly sacrifice The Batman if it means every other DC superhero can have a decent interconnected movie on par with the average MCU movie or a JL movie on par with Infinity War. Besides, Batman seems to be the only superhero DC can get right. That's not a good thing. Difference of opinion, I suppose. A solo movie as good as The Batman is worth more to me than ten MCU movies combined.

Who said anything about low-tier MCU movies? I'm talking about the average MCU movie. Besides, I've never seen DC pull-off a trilogy where each movie was as good as The Batman. Like I said, they can do great one-off movies but that's about it, maybe 2 movies back to back. But producing 1-2 great movies in a batch of 10 movies is not a good business model. My point was pretty clear. I’ll take more movies like The Dark Knight and The Batman on the DC side over another shared universe that no longer permits such movies to exist. Because as much as I love Marvel Studios, their movies rarely reach those heights or take those kinds of creative risks. And I’m not saying the status quo is what I want from DC either. They need to change what they’ve been doing to get a higher level of consistency. But “Be Like Marvel” is not the only option. We'll just have to disagree there. I don't think The Batman was risky at all. Batman is arguably one of the easiest superheroes to translate to the big screen AND is the most popular DC hero. If DC was really keen on taking risks they'd do movies like that to other characters other than Batman. Besides, they're pretty much still using Tim Burton's formula, albeit with some modern adjustments. Movies like GotG or Civil War are far riskier than something like The Batman. So far the riskiest movie DC has made has been The Joker, but then again that's why WB only gave it a $55m budget. Heck, if they had at least gone with Affleck's version of an older, trigger-happy Batman then that would have been risky. If you still doubt my perspective, ask yourself this: How come DC has never been able to replicate their TDK success with any other superhero other than Batman? Do you really want a DC franchise where the only really good movies are Batman movies while the rest of their heroes are thrown to the wayside? Besides, it's not like Zaslov said they were copying the MCU tone and feel. All he said was they were copying the MCU's blueprint for creating a planned franchise. It doesn't mean their movies are suddenly going to be as light as MCU's.

Well, at least it's a plan... which is better than not having one which is where DCEU is at this moment. The best thing for them to do is proceed with Snyder's plan but to get other writers and directors to do the movies. Snyder can act as an overseer and maybe even a videographer, but he'll ruin it if he's directing or writing.

that… doesn’t even make any sense. Isn’t the Flash… the only movie that should be canceled but isnt…. supposed to delete the Snyderverse? and don’t they now recognize Joss Whedon’s JL as the only one?

Aquaman actor Momoa is seemingly himself a major player in the future of the DCEU, given the popularity of the Arthur Curry character. And for his part, Momoa doesn’t seem too concerned about how things will shake out as WB shakes up its DC plans behind new management. Asked recently by THR about Zaslav’s ten-year-plan remarks, Momoa deferred to the higher-ups when it comes to the big behind-the-scenes decisions at Warner Bros. Discovery. “That’s an interesting question,” Momoa said. He added, “I just trust in them to make the right decisions, and I gotta stay in my lane.”

He needs to be a DC Comics fan boy. What made MCU work was Feige made movies he would want to see as a fan. Ironman. Hulk Thor Cap. These heroes weren't the A-listers, but they made them work. It would be like DC not having access to Supes & Bats. That might be what worked against DC. They had their big guns & figured name recognition was all they needed The Bats fans seem to like dark as hell. I don't know any Superman fan than liked Man of Steel because it missed Supes's heart. It felt like they were trying to make Supes dark, but he isn't dark. He's a good guy. From a different era like Cap which some fans seem to dislike. Marvel made Cap work. DC should be able to make Supes work.

Does this mean the end of mega movies like BvS, Dark Knight Rises, and JL? lol. Right now I just want them to let Reeves keep doing what he's doing.
