Can the DC Cinematic Universe be saved?

A change in tone, variety of directors and not rushing things in upcoming movies. Get some humour in, more than just the one joke. Grim and gritty is interesting for one or two movies, but not everything. With marketing don't spoil all the details in the trailers. Doomsday did not need to be revealed in one of the hundreds of trailers. Let the films for the individual members stand up as stand-alone movies.

Don't reject the TV shows. Flash has proven that the movies and TV shows can interact, and it's great cross-promotion. By outright rejecting them there are lots of fans that will be annoyed and decide not to watch the movies.

The biggest advantage the MCU has is that the different films have different tones to them. The First Avenger is a wartime film, Thor is more fantastical, Winter Solider is political thriller, Guardians of the Galaxy is space opera, Ant-Man is a heist movie. There's a variety to pick and choose from.

The DCU, does need to pull back on the reins abit and slow down. Especially considering how many films they've supposedly got on the schedule. Cancel and delay a couple, maybe combine a couple (Booster Gold and Blue Beetle for example) and see where it goes.
Dont compete with the MCU as had as they are doing

Does it really need saving? So far Batman v Superman is the only one that was really hated. Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad both look good, so I don't think there is likely to be any problem.

Good a time as any to bump this 0ne back up.

i finally saw the justice league and maybe because my expectations where so low i actually liked it i saw a lot of fun in that movie despite its many many flaws. i'd like to see it again.

it was another very good outing for wonder woman and gal gadot. i think one best things ive seen so far is the chemistry between ben afflecks's batman and gadot's wonder woman. im not talking romantic chemistry just 2

characters chemistry. i think that is the heart of the dc films so far, and that's what you build on going forward. they built the league. put them at the heart of the cinematic universe, put them front and center. that means keeping

ben affleck in the bat suit. btw ben's costume in justice league was just terrible. he looked like he was wearing 2 hundred pounds of costume. the dc movies need a better costume department going forward. now back to ben.

all the rumors say he wants out. yes they could recast the role and yes other actors would be just fin, but ben brings some weight and pathos to the role which plays off well against the 100 plus year old WW. and again ben

and gal have good chemistry. someone at warner and or geoff johns and or joss whedon need to convince him to stay.

one of the things that might make him stay is tell the story of the batfamily sub universe. fans have been speculating all over the place about this batman's past and his connections. they have both a batgirl and a nightwing

movie on the schedule. tell the story of a fractured batfamily getting back together. if the WB is giving up on the shared universe spin the bat folks off to their own shared movies.

keep making good wonder woman movies. wonder woman wasn't great but it was pretty good. it has some good will from fans and critics. i think justice league got torpedoed with the stench of a flop when its box office

wasn't threw the roof day one. DC movies will need the critics good will going forward to get the normies into the seats.

another thing these movies need to do is lighten up! i dont mean their sense of humor i mean the color palette. every thing seem dark and shot at night. in my mind i see all their movies as too dark too subdued. remember

someone of the internet lifted the color filter on man of steal and supes and big blue costume looked great. thats what you need. heroes stand out.

they need another winner flash aquaman or cyborg need to be at least good. they need word of mouth and critics to say " yeah this aquaman or cyborg is a weird character, but the movie is good." they can start changing

things around.

batgirl needs to be a hit. lets face it batman is DC's flagship in the comics, in the animated movies, in video games and in the movies. people love the batfamily! i have heard nothing about a solo batman movie. and

even if they announce one today it looks like batgirl will be out before him. if batgirl is a hit it announces DC and the batfamily are back on the map, and tells the fans to  come on back. it will get fans hungry for more bats,  more batman solo

flicks and that new nightwing movie. if WB has a hit with batgirl it can crow that it has done what marvel hasn't bring female superheroes to the big screen with not just one but 2 superheroines. that could put distance

between them and marvel, plus get them a lot of good press.

i hated the suicide squad but liked will smith as deadshot. find ways to spotlight him. the popularity of harley outside of batman the animated series eludes me, but people love her. girls and women connect with her

despite her relationship with the joker obviously being abusive. a whole bunch of people waiting for a good harley movie. it would be great for the WB to deliver. here they would have another female character to showcase,

if they can get a good flick that taps into the insane but maybe light hearted harley people will go and bring their friends. and they could introduce poison ivy and her yuri-ish relationship with harley they might have a

thelma and louise on their hands.

as for me my favorite dc character is dick grayson so that nightwing movie better be good.

well that's my two cents. the internet and all its analyzers seem to think the DC shared movie universe is done, that warner brothers will still make all the solo movie but not tie them together.   i think that would be a shame

In a word: NO

But they can still have incredible films featuring one or a few heroes (or villains). I just don't believe that a coherent DC universe will ever happen, since even the comics books reset reality every so often, or jump to another universe. And I think the films ought to either embrace that or at least avoid films stepping on each other.

DC has done alright with the "Arrowverse" thus far. I just wish they'd stop teasing us about Ferris Air and the missing test pilot and pay up. At least a little.

I've seen the animated version, which was really good, but WOW was it steeped in complex knowledge of the DC universe and its characters.

The only legitimate reason I can imagine for doing Flashpoint now is that it would give them license to recast / rewrite anything they please. Which is NOT a good thing.

NO
