>>86284884Snyder cant make cape movies that draw big repeat audiences and make big bucks on merchandising and licensing
Batman still has currency from audience reception, because batman is "cooler" at a base visual level and is easier to accept as doing fucked up shit
Superman needs a soft reboot IN SOME WAY, even if its just coming back from the dead with a more positive outlook and smiling more. Less of the grim messiah, the movies are basically workable.
Honestly Snyder feels like he is making fairly competent deconstructions of DC properties, excpet that has been done dozens of times in the comics and often more skillfully, and these are movies, and there arent even CONSTRUCTION movies, let alone space in the public consciousness for DECONSTRUCTIONS yet.
Suicide Squad was fine on average and as a movie, but great audience wise and for making opportunities for further media products.
I expect JLU to be taking its queues from SS now, which is a pity its a different beast entirely.
Wonder Woman looks a bit by the numbers, and will suffer from comparisons to Captain America:First Avenger, even though actualy its in a different period entirely. Will probably do fine, especially if whicher execs are working marketing pull their heads out their ass. I dont expect to like it though.
Aquaman looks fine based on the Momoa portrayal in the trailers and rumours, but its too far out to tell.
Same for everything else really.
As a project a lot of its value (creatively and monetarily) has been squandered by sticking to Snyder's "creative vision", and has made it difficult to work some properties with current public perception, but the DCEU/DCWB/DCCU certainly isnt a total waste.
I'm just hoping they go for a soft reboot into Justice League International if JLU doesnt do so good, though my soul grasps at whatever slim possibility of a Static/Mr Terrific Netflix or HBO series.
Come on guys its anticorporate drone hackerman , its fucking zietgiest as fuck
