The RISE and FALL of the DCEU

[@BrmRayan]

The reason DCEU is bad is because they wanted to have the same success as Marvel and compete with them in something Marvel started five years before them. Marvel They introduced their most important heroes and then introduced the Avengers. DC was in a hurry to compete. In their belief, using their big names will attract viewers rather than the logical story structure and presentation of characters

[@exaucemayunga22]

Well said

[@SoldierSpiderx]

fact what they should done it release every superhero solo movie and then had the Justice league and not did superman death and also the top WB it just people in suit, they don't care about their character like Zack literally had to explain the lighting bolt for the flash and Superman black suit and many other cause they didn't get it and this is the same WB that destroy CW cause they didn't let the CW used character and their reason WB didn't want people get confuse with two Batman so they call us dumb

[@BrmRayan]

@SoldierSpiderx Exactly, imagine if Marvel hadn't made Iron Man before Avengers, how would you want to make me emotional when he goes into the black hole and it's one of the best scenes in the movie, it would be oh this guy under the iron went into a hole and survived. I also hate it when they treat Superman as if he is the main character and the rest are just his assistants. You have to make every character seem important, such as Iron Man's sacrifices, Black Widow, Hawkeye's attempt to take her place, Hulk destroying his hands, returning them, and add a lot. You won't feel like there is one character who is all about him.

[@SoldierSpiderx]

@@BrmRayan I know WB fuck themself up and want Zack to rush everything, if they took their time like they should like after superman movie we should got either a Batman wonder women movie solo and then either have the flash and aquman movie or what I would do I would made a movie with all 3 of them not BVS those that be stupid and see how badass the 3 of them together that WB shot themself in the foot

Too much of the DCEU was spent rushing to play catchup and not understanding WHY DC and Marvel fans are different. Marvel has always been the popcorn action movie that's lots of fun. You don't have to think too much but if you do, you will be rewarded if you do. Its a great fantasy world for most audience. Contrast that with DC, which tends to skew more mature and lore based. It's not for everyone, but those who do are rabid fans. Movies like The Joker, or the Dark Knight trilogy feel grounded and explainable (as much as comic movies can be explained) versus starting with fantasy. I personally watch Marvel movies for fun with my family, while I watch DC movies dig deep in comics. Example. I loved The Watchmen. Its not a movie for everyone but its a movie that really was awesome despite lack of box office success. A good way to sum up DC vs Marvel is Marvel = Hollywood Blockbusters, DC = Indie movie Quentin Tarantino flick.

Too bad he didn't kick ass in Batman in 89. I attended the Batman premiere in Hollywood in '89 and I remember the rumblings in the audience about how miscast he was. The only reason he was cast at all was because the WB suits were so hellbent on Burton directing (because they wanted Gotham to be dark and gritty and "nobody does dark and gritty like Tim Burton") and Burton is incapable of working with anyone he hasn't worked with before. And he'd just completed Beetlejuice with guess who. There was still a lot of leftover Beetlejuice in Keaton's Batman performance. Happily, Keaton has improved considerably over the years.

[@batman.darthmaul]

The release of Zack Snyder's JL actually had very little to do with the Release the Snyder Cut movement. It was actually a perfect storm of no less than 4 things: 1) The pandemic and lockdown. 2) The resulting loss of income to the major studios. 3) The AT&T purchase of WB and their decision to turn to streaming as an alternate source of income. 4) AT&T's willingness to sink major bucks into this cut. If you remove any one of those things, this cut of the film would have _never_ happened.

[@benjaminjane93]

They wanted to base their cinematic universe on the vision of a Director who doesn’t believe in heroes. Snyder fundamentally doesn’t understand or even like the very concept of a superhero that altruistically help people. You can look up videos of him saying you live in a “Dream world” if you don’t think Superman if he existed wouldn’t kill or be morally bankrupt.

[@aaronmiles2802]

I agree, Snyder was a terrible choice to helm the universe. At most he should’ve worked on a few films as a visual director

[@ArunkumarGR]

There was no RISE of DCEU . First Superman movie, First Batman movie & the Nolan trilogy. Entire DC movie world is close to nothing. Man of Steel and BvS were frustrating to watch even if they had a few highlights. Justice League was pathetic. Snyder cut helped but what done is done. Entire DCEU is a goddamn mess nobody knows how to fix. WB/DC had to just hire their team from DCAU to script. And they didnt even bother to think of future. They kept rebooting Superman and Batman with no end goal. Marvel steadily built MCU from 2008. By the time Avengers came out, DC was far behind and they tried to force entire world in a few years with no preparation burdening everything on Snyder. How much can one man write and direct; DC world as big as Marvel. Two Suicide Squads came out with. Two batmen. An all powerful flash which may not return. Killed off the God level Dr Fate. James Gunn, WB and DC are clueless and its not reaching anywhere.

Warner Bros. currently only manages to make decent Batman movies, which are often even better than many Marvel movies, even if Batman works great, as does Spider-Man, it doesn't mean that they don't think anymore about making a decent DC universe in MCU style, then they have to know that quality > quantity

[@insansn8191]

[@HolyHadou]

I'm still shocked you didn't cover Flash's Actor acting like a whole sociopath for the longest while. The movie was bad but his general behavior didn't help anything.

[@DrNotEmpathetic]

Superman has so many good stories from a century of published comics but movie makers are obsessed with killing him and using him as a punching bag. Just as Disney denies the Star Wars extended universe to draw inspiration from, Warner Bros refuses to look into Superman's comics or use any other villain besides Lex and Zod (that Doomsday in BvS was not Doomsday. It was a crap imitation). Also Batman: The Dark Knight Returns isn't really a good story. It's a niche story that only a few, loud fans adore but keeps potential newcomers and enjoyers from engaging in comics; the kind of comic that makes comic book stores feel like XXX stores. Honestly an adaptation of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies would have been great to see on the big screen.

[@TIVOSTUDIOS]

Henry Cavill was great as Superman but more like an alternative universe version of Superman, Zack made him into a Batman with superpowers, in the same way, that Batman and Robyn killed Batman for trying to make him into a light-hearted character, Zack did the inverse by trying to make superman into a dramatic act, Christopher Reeve still is the only one that managed to capture The Superman persona and Clark Kent perfectly from the Comics, yes, of course, it needs to bring him to the 21 century, but he will never be that depressed traumatized character, he is not Batman, it doesn't work for him be like that otherwise he would turn into a Homelander type, so I think this new Superman coming up next year maybe DC trying to go back to basics, I will miss Gal Gadot as wonder woman, she was the perfect incarnation of WW based on George Perez run with the character in the 80s ( who re-created WW from scratch and turned her into a serious character instead of just eye candy ) The first WW was almost perfection ( excepting that CGI ending ) but that was a great base to carry her on for long, but the second movie tried to bring that Linda Carter silllyness back, which as amazing in the 70s , but would not work today, and killed Gal version of the character, but she still the perfect interpretation of Wonder Woman, so will be one hard to recast

[@Bobbyfischer89]

Fr bro. It hit me so hard when they told they were going to reboot the universe. They should have instead focused on bringing back the quality in their movies. I for myself was eagerly waiting for Wonder Woman 3 and justice league 2 with darkseid. The fact that they did Not treat gal gadot and henry cavill just goes on to show how bad as a franchise they were

[@TIVOSTUDIOS]

@@Bobbyfischer89 I really wanted to watch where things were going, especially after watching the Zack cut of Justice League, all the problems were fixable, they should let him conclude his vision then start from scratch if that is what they really wanted to to do

The Dark Knight was released in theaters in July 2008. I remember specifically bc it was the day of my birthday and I went to see it that day. Man of Steel was released in 2013, 5 years later. Just thought I'd correct that little tid bit.

DCAU > DCEU No contest. It’s funny, marvel won in the cinematic universe, but boy marvel won’t even come close to touching DC’s animated universe.

[@Piyestagram]

thats kinda irrelevant. the dcau is more niche for superhero fans. the mcu was so big that it created more superhero fans and catered to mainstream audiences. so while i can believe you that the quality of the dcau is better, the mcu is bigger in terms of fictional media, the bigger it is the more money they make to create even more content. even tho yea the high demand for marvel content increased and basically killed the quality of the universe, theres no denying that the mcu at one point was the biggest superhero universe that overshadowed any media dc has put out. dc's biggest supporters were superhero fans, marvels biggest supporters was the entire world

What was left out is Man of Steel was produced by Nolan’s production company. He and Goyer wrote the story and script, Snyder only directed the film. After that, Nolan left and Snyder was left in charge. That’s where things went wrong.

DC, competing with Marvel, had to set another tone. Marvel was family friendly in the early days, where the most you'd see is a small cut across a nose or a bruise on a cheek. Their violence, while explosive, felt pulled back as to not offend parents so that kids could see it. DC saw an untapped market. If Marvel was pandering toward literal children and parents, then DC would go after those who craved a darker, more gritty, deadlier, violent universe. Remember, Dark Knight was a success. And while not related to DC and Marvel, other violent shows and movies were creating empires on bodies. So it made sense. The general audience craves violence, and they aren't getting it from Marvel. So that's their market. Unfortunately for them, we wanted comic stories. And while comics are violent and bloody and graphic, we didn't want to see that. We wanted to see our beloved heros being HEROS. Not murderous psychopathic villains. We fell in love with The Punisher, Logan and Deadpool only after a decade and a half of cautiously easing into violence going from a small cut across Tony's nose to Cap having his face crushed in by Bucky to watching Thanos literally be decapitated. Marvel eased into the violence over what, 16 years? DC gave Batman some machine guns and said whatever happens, happens. Today, the world would be willing and accepting of a DC Dark universe. But back then? Absolutely not. It was the departure of tone that put the final nail in the coffin for the DCU. And, unfortunately, that final nail... was laid first.

[@stefanradebach2889]

One major case for why DCEU fell was because they wanted to compete side by side with MCU even though the latter was already 5 years into existence when Man of Steel was released and was already at the start of in Phase 3 with 13 movies when DCEU released their only second movie yet decided to have Batman vs Superman be the main story to compete against Captain America: Civil War that ignores how the latter had a lot of build up to that film while the former had almost nothing to justify a story like that too quick. And once that movie became a massive disappointment Warner execs outright destroyed the panic button with how hard they smashed it by making extreme changes to the Suicide Squad that was supposed to come out in 2016 which resulted in that movie being an utter mess. And then of course there was Justice League 2017, a movie that more or less destroyed any chance of DCEU recovering due to extensive rewrites and re-shoots under Joss Whedon that resulted in a flaccid film, one that saw Ben Affleck and Henry Cavil leave the DCEU afterwards and pretty much threw away any and all plans for future Justice League movies with everyone being back to where they were before. By that point it was beyond saving and the whole thing being rebooted was the only sensible option.
