      Not really 6 considering how the only actual live action Crisis on Infinite Earths pretty much made canon a ton of different DC proyects and their respective universes. For instance, Titans and Doom Patrol being separate Earths, Grant Gustin's Flash interacting with Ezra's Barry Allen.

    Having grown up with the DCAU and also enjoyed seeing Iron Man mentor Spider-Man and Captain America wield Thor's hammer, I think there are lots of good stories to be told by having characters in one universe to interact with.

    I think the main thing Wb problem was commitment. Man of steel got alright reviews like iron man 1, a good beginning like mcu. The second bvs got bad reviews they panicked and rushed to "Fix" the Suicide squad 1 and ended with dumpster fire. Think about how much mcu phase 1 was not that great (at the time) incredible hulk and iron man 2 weren't received with good reviews but they kept trying with the same plan. But what gave it more of a bad reputation was firing and replacing Zack while he was mourning the loss of his child.

      Trying to set up some justice league characters in the justice league film isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The DCAU managed to pull it off pretty well. I suppose that it worked better there because it was a tv show. I definitely think that individual films work a lot better than introducing them in Justice League first.

      I would start with Superman sequel. Batman would be after this and then Batman v Superman would come.
      Riddler, Joker and Lex Luthor would be Main antagonists with Wonder Woman appearing at the end.
      Justice League would come after this when Steppemwolf comes.
      Superman dies in phase two and gets revived five movies later.

      @@mel-el5862 ABSOLUTELY. I’m confident in James Gunn but I am honestly still very curious and also very nervous to see what happens. I think a movie where Superman brings hope is important for not only comic book fans after Man of Steel, but I think it would be important for the world in general. Superman is the kind of character that’s considered “old fashioned” in a world full of Punishers and Deadpools and Antiheroes-and I know several comics have already made a point of this-but I think a character like Superman is what the world kind of needs right now.
      Also I fully agree with the comparison to The Batman, and while I think it needs to be on that same level of quality, I also think it needs to be a very different film. The Batman was about Batman learning the power of hope as opposed to fear, and while I think that should be part of it I think a Superman origin movie should be more about Superman trying to bring that hope to the world

Yet Gunn still is going with a soft reboot and killed some heroes to reboot and others to stay. It's the same thing

    This video deserves more views. It was so good. The DCEU will go down as how to not make a cinematic universe. Yes, was there a time when The DCEU beat Marvel? Yes, were there good things from the DCEU? Yes but it failed. I think you should've also mentioned the disastrous failures of WW84, BOP, and the cancelation of Batgirl, and the monumental failureof Black Adam. I think those killed any hope left the DCEU had. People didn't seem excited anymore after those movies came out. I blame many for this universe's death. Egos, Zack Snyder not understanding the characters, panicking after your two big movies failed, the rock, using Cavill to help market your movie, Cavill embarrassing himself saying hes back when there was no contract, a lot of blame to go around. I hope the DCU works because this is DCs last chance on film.

    Keaton was never replacing Affleck as Batman. Batgirl was going to replace Affleck's Batman. In fact, the original intent for _The Flash_ was to replace Cavill's Superman and Affleck's Batman. Their timelines were being erased. WB wanted to install an all-female "trinity": Supergirl, Batgirl, and Wonder Woman. Thankfully, those plans were scrapped. Anyway, Keaton was not returning to play an ongoing role as Batman. His version of Batman was ready to retire and he was going to act as mentor to Batgirl, à la Batman Beyond.

    This reminds me of how so many writers try to impact the entire comic universe with huge events that send ripples through every title and the creatives of those other series are just expected to go along with it and adapt while also trying to continue whatever story they were trying to tell.

    WB made Zack Snyder embrace a more light tone for JL, which is why its tone is so different for his JL to Man of Steel and BvS. This can be seen in pr backpedaling and clarifications during production. They specifically did interviews, collider did some on set, where Snyder tried to reassure fans "he cared about the characters," and wasn't just making a Justice League where batman gets raped in prison. The studio involvement in JL was obvious and it made a much better film with a compromise of Snyder's vision and what audiences want. WB, however was an idiot, and decided it wasn't light enough, so the rest is history. If JL in post production would've been a collaborative effort between a producer role Snyder and looked something close to 4 hour Justice League, with Aquaman being successful, and if Ben Affleck had made his Batman film, a rocky start to the cinematic universe would've likely turned fairly popular, if these movies remained a collaborative work with the producers/audience and not just creative dictatorship made by Snyder.

    I feel like James Gunn DCU might be screwed because not only that the box office of Ant-Man 3 and Shazam 2 is showing that audiences are starting to lose interest in shared universe comic book movies but also with the exception of the elseworlds film (The Batman and Joker) DC hasn’t had a big box office hit since Aquaman.

    You know something, I really do think if Zack Snyder’s plans had continued with his Justice League and other movies… it still would’ve failed. WB would’ve continued to lose more and more money with each movie that came out, and DC’s reputation would be damaged beyond most repair.
    The writing was on the wall the second Man of Steel came out, painting a bleak picture of Superman that frankly never suited his character to begin with. BVS was just the highlighting of this writing, Batman mercilessly killing people just proving/threatening Zack’s bleak vision would bleed to the other characters of the DC Universe regardless of how little said characters would adopt a bleak interpretation. Most importantly however, it lost money, and though some may choose this reason or that for the lost revenue, or WB not giving Zack enough time to flesh everything out, the fact of the matter is the bleak interpretation of the characters still had to contribute to said losses. No one in the mainstream or true DC fandom wants to see characters who are typically depicted as virtuous and hopeful degraded to bleak shells of themselves just because the director thinks that’s what makes for good and interesting characters. And even if there are people who do, or would have been, how long would they legitimately continue to support the universe? My guess, especially if that whole thing of Batman and Lois Lane having a one night stand happened on screen, I can’t imagine that many people would continue to support the movies. They would bleed viewers like a drunken pig.
    The worst part, Warner Bros has proven time and time again they like synergy between products. The comics would have continued to maintain that same bleakness from the movies and just suffered as a result. By the time of Justice League 2, Part 3 or whatever the heck it was called, I would imagine that being the end of it all. A big production put on for no viewers, and box after box of unsold comics because everyone just got sick and tired of it. DC would have been left out on the street, slumped over like a drunk guy after getting his ass beat by the bouncer. But hey, at least the Snyderverse was fully realized… 🙄

    Zack Snyder was very passionate about the DCEU but honestly, his vision was not that great. His movies were all about spectacle, slow mo and cool camera shots, but when you start to dissect them, especially when it comes to coherence and story, they just completely fall apart. Presenting Superman as a god figure, following with Injustice story beats, making Batman kill people, introducing Doomsday in the second movie, Lex Luthor casting, nothing really gelled together, it was a mess from the very beginning.

    I wouldn't call the Universal Monsters a cinematic universe per sé, as there's not actually continuity among most of them. Whenever the Wolfman, Dracula, or Frankenstein meet, its always treated as if its the first time they've ever crossed paths. So its more likely that each film is its own thing, and not truly a combined universe.
    A much better example is Godzilla. While it plays fast and loose with continuity, every time Godzilla fought King Ghidorah, or Mothra, they always make reference to previous times they've met.

    It's a Myth, that being dark is better than being family orientated.
    The Mid 90s started the slow death of Comic books. The Comic books became so dark, that the core audience (Kids)were systematically removed from buying comic books.
    The kids who could buy the books and loved the darker edge was a niche group of kids. Slightly older and could afford the new pricing, which was also an issue.
    Superman killing a main villain, to give him an edge, is what ruin a great movie. He should have been sent to the Void or whatever it's called, like what had been done earlier in the film.
    Story is the second thing that help killed this Universe. No matter the style of the movie, if the story is weak or been retold too many times, people will go elsewhere.
    Batman vs Superman was okay until they brought in Characters we should have never seen until much later in the Universe!
    The fight between Superman and Batman would have been enough to fill out the whole movie, Wonder Woman could have been the reason they stopped fighting, again profit over a good story ruin this.
    Joker had a great story, Aqua man had a great story. Wonder Woman had a great story. Man of Steel had a great story. The rest either wasn't in my wheelhouse, or just plain ole bad. Suicide Squad Bad, #2 BAD WW1984 BAD.
    Story that fits the Audience that viewing the film and great story lines that target the core Audience.
    I hated most of the Marvel films. Iron man 1 Great the rest SUCKED, Thor GOOD, the Rest Sucked. Captain America Good then got better each film!!!!!! The Avengers, Loved the first one hated 2, the next ones 3 and 4 where good and paid off what we wanted to see.
    Guardians of the Galaxy, I loved 1 didn't like 2, haven't seen 3.
    Ant Man 1 I loved the rest wasn't interested.
    My point if you know who's viewing your films and target stories you hope they would like, you can make the money you hoped the stories and Characters will bring in.

    You forgot other one that also had a planned cinematic universe and that is The Loud House. Plans for a Loud House shared universe dated back in 2018 which could have included spin offs including The Casagrandes which came out a year later in 2019 and one focusing on Sam and Luna similar to Brokeback Mountain and one focusing on Lori and Bobby which would be a romance. However, following the cancellation of The Casagrandes after three seasons, plans for quote unquote "Loud House Cinematic Universe" were scrapped. Thankfully, we got a Disney XD type cinematic universe and that included Star Vs The Forces of Evil released in 2015, Amphibia released in 2019, The Owl House released in 2020 as well as The Ghost And Molly McGee released in 2021. Also, Star Butterfly made an appearance in a post credits scene of the series finale of Amphibia and the series finale of The Owl House in which set up the Disney+ original crossover film Star Vs Luz Vs Anne Vs Molly.

Sure, Doomsday was way too early but it could’ve been a knockoff Doomsday. Still, bc they made you think and it wasn’t handed to you, these movies were received bad. Smh.

    At the end of the day, WB doomed themselves. A lot if people blame Zack Snyder but at least he has a plan and a structure. If WB was Smart, they could have rework the structure, having more solos movies building up the characters but then people would say they are MCU clones. I am not a Zack Snyder fan. I like his Superman but I understand why people don't like him because he isn't Superman from the comics. I can't get upset at Zack because he is a good director but he isn't a storyteller. It is still WB fault. If it was Zack own movie universe with his own characters it would be successful but when you change the fundamentals of iconic characters, people are going to be upset.

    I like some of the DCEU movies but it’s still the most inconsistent franchise I’ve ever seen. It didn’t care about making good stories. It didn’t even care about their characters. They just wanted catch up to marvel and make money. I could name so many piss poor decisions they made but for now I’m gonna name two. Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad. Batman V Superman wasn’t supposed to be VS movie. The original script was just “Batman/Superman”. They forced Zack to make some changes, force some hero cameos, so they can start working on Justice league (which is a whole ‘nother story) and suicide squad. It was supposed to be a dark, fun, epic movie just like the trailer. But then the next trailer came out and Warner bros said “Bro, fuck it. Let’s hire the guys who made this trailer” and changed the entire goddamn movie. They made it “funny” “fun” and “hip” and then the movie was a failure. I can’t say it’s just Warner bros though. DC does make poor decisions but for Christ sake’s, man. Concentrate on the characters. Concentrate on your fans, assholes
