No, the "DCEU" needs to be retired permanently, and anyone who worked on it needs to be FIRED.
Once that's dead and buried, we can get GOOD Batman movies again.
It is. It’s actually called Worlds of DC now!

I still haven’t seen a good argument for why Batman should keep getting movies. I am yet to see a good argument as to why 'Aquaman', 'Cyborg' and 'Shazam' are getting their own movies before Supergirl, Batgirl, Nightwing, Green Arrow and Teen Titans when the five of them are more well known and have higher all time sales. When was the last time Shazam was even relevant in the DC Universe 'cause I hardly even saw him in the New 52 and I haven't seen any ongoing series in Rebirth? Heck, Raven and Starfire should be getting movies before 'Cyborg.'

The Cyborg movie most likely won’t be happening.

Wild guess, I'd say it might be because Supergirl, Batgirl, Nightwing and Green Arrow are already pretty similar to existing DCEU characters with movies already. Batgirl, Nightwing and Green Arrow are all night-time vigilantes that pretty much fall in the same ballpark as Batman. And DCEU already as Superman and Wonder Woman which are somewhat similar to Supergirl. On the other hand, both Aquaman and Shazam are completely new and different. When was the last time we've had an underwater movie, let alone an underwater superhero movie?

I still haven’t seen a good argument for why Batman should keep getting movies. Give me a good reason why ANY character SHOULD keep getting movies! There is none! There's no reason why James Bond or Rocky or Indiana Jones or Jesus Christ keep getting movies except that someone thinks they can make a few bucks off a new one. No matter what YOU say Batman is still one of the most well known and well liked characters EVER. Period. He'll always get movies.

Quite simply, The Dark Knight trilogy will never be beaten for its portrayal of Batman. Nolan effectively killed future incarnations of Batmen by creating the best version himself. It's the same with Hugh Jackmans Wolverine or RDJs Ironman. If they try to recast and remake movies with those 2 characters, they will fail. Spiderman was not the case as many people didnt see Toby as a great Peter Parker despite the success of Raimis films. The Dark Knight film is an excellent portrayal. The others not so much IMO. Even still, I am sure it could be bettered. If Batman is limited, you are limited (meaning everyone who thinks this, not you charzino 👍🏻)

The proof I have to offer is the underperformance of The LEGO Batman MovieA LEGO Movie? I stopped listening to your "proof" right then and there... LEGO movies are meant for young children. That's like saying the Batman Franchise is dead, because no one is buying Batman coloring books. I saw LEGO Batman. It was one of the worst cinema experiences I’ve ever had.

The Cyborg movie most likely won’t be happening. Yeah. It doesn't look that way at this point which I think is for the best. From what I heard it was Zack Snyder who was behind the character's push in the DCEU and with Zack no longer having any creative control over the movies it looks like Cyborg's future is up in the air. I think they should write him off for now and replace him with Martian Manhunter.

And DCEU already as Superman and Wonder Woman which are somewhat similar to Supergirl. On the other hand, both Aquaman and Shazam are completely new and different. When was the last time we've had an underwater movie, let alone an underwater superhero movie? Not exactly. Unlike Batman Batgirl operates in the day time too and a lot of her latest adventures in the comic books have taken place in the day and featured Batgirl in Japan and other cities and towns outside of Gotham. Barbara Gordon isn't a billionaire with her own butler either and she creates all her own costumes and gadgets and often struggles to make ends meet. Batman and Nightwing in the comic books are completely different when it comes to fighting styles and the difference between Batman and Nightwing as fighters is like the difference between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan. Nightwing has a very different style due to growing up as an acrobat and does more high flying moves and flips. Depending on what version of Supergirl they go with Linda Danvers is completely different than both Superman and Wonder Woman and is far more powerful being an earth bound angel. On top of Kara Zor-El's powers Linda has the powers to shapeshift, teleport, make portals, absorb fire, shoot psionic blasts out of her hands, can blow things up by focusing on them with her mind. She also has Telekinesis and can see the last few seconds of a dead person’s life just by looking into their eyes. Linda fights monsters, demons, vampires, witches, vampires and zombies among other creatures and she has no problem ripping villain's heads off with her hands or burning demons into ashes. A 'Supergirl/ Linda Danvers' movie would be a Horror Superhero movie and be completely different and new than anything we have had before.

There are plenty of Batman stories to be told. They've managed more with James Bond with less material. Why not Batman
