Does this mean the DC Extended Universe is doomed?


Ben Affleck taking the reigns of the franchise over the turgid Zack Snyder was its last hope, but now it appears even the hitherto stellar Affleck is a fallible filmmaker judging by the bad reviews for his latest. 

The Batman starring Ben Affleck and Elle Fanning will be a big hit.

So he finally makes a movie that isn't critically praised? Does that mean we just ignore; The Town, Gone Baby Gone and Argo? Directors blunder occasionally, hell Scorsese has. How many flops has Ridley Scott had between greats, yet people still love him. If anything, even the critics who hated the movie praised its direction.

I just tend the bar.

Yes it does because it's already doomed.

Downhill is downhill no matter who is behind the wheel.

Affleck just ran away from The batman as director. So, YES the DC Extended Universe is now officially doomed.
