DC has been trying to compete with only three. These are incredibly packed movies, and the lack of clear connective tissue between them has made it difficult to bring either critics or even general audiences up to speed, especially when the MCU has been able to smoothly transition into that shared universe.

It was a different take on Superman, to say the least. Unfortunately, this was ultimately a poor decision for building the brand.

Man of Steel neither succeeded in laying the foundation for a cinematic universe that could easily expand, nor did it serve as an advertisement for the comics. It was awful on two fronts.

That doesn't even mention that the greatest flaws and why they earn all those bad reviews and scorn from general audiences is the fact that they hire BAD directors to shoot terrible and rushed scripts.

Put it together and it's easy to see why most non DC fanboys HATE the DCEU after three lousy movies.

Did anyone think otherwise? No one bought in to that buying off critics nonsense.

The fact that the WB gaming division was caught and convicted in court of buying off critics says a lot. If they were buying off movie critics as well then even those 26% scores were actually inflated.

Imagine that...

Honestly, what will it take for the WB to change? Bad reviews don't shake them. The fan base hates them. Actors don't want to work for them after their work experience. Their movies lose money even though the box office is huge because of bad deals and mismanagement. WTF???

At least if you do come to this dying site once in a while we can still leave our own bad reviews for DCEU garbage. They haven't taken that away ... YET.
