Their biggest mistake was trying to catch the MCU instead of taking their time with their own blueprint. Man of Steel had its flaws but it was a really good start for them. Then they went right for BvS and it all was dumpster fire. But i also question whether the people they have writing and directing some of these properties truly care about them. I think the new Suicide Squad will be good because James Gunn cares and knows what he doing.
They should stick with the one offs because i feel like they're really focused on their projects when they're not trying too hard to world-build.
See, I thought bvs was a great second movie.
I loved the story, and the shit ton of Easter eggs relating to the dark night returns graphic novel were greatly appreciated.
That particular graphic novel was what pulled me in to comics as a kid... so I was ecstatic to see the nods to it from cover art to costume to treads on the boots of the mechanical batman.
Batmans fighting style was amazing and his attitude fit.
Loved Affleck as batman.
The Martha thing, the spear thing... people give those shit all the time but they are both actually quite poignant moments when you look at the greater story and it bugs me that nobody can recognize that.
There are 2 parts I really disliked though. The beginning version of doomsday was unimpressive, and the casting, directing and acting of luthor was unwatchable.
