The DCU Is Already Doing Something Better Than The MCU Ever Did
Over the past decade, Warner Bros. has been attempting to match Marvel’s success with their DC properties, but their series of debatable movie choices often resulted in more failures than victories. For example, the failed DC Extended Universe was initiated with a long-term storyline that was ultimately dropped after films like “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League” (2017) received negative critical reception and disappointing box office results. This was followed by a scattered series of films due to frequent changes in direction and reactive decision-making. However, there were exceptions such as “Wonder Woman” and “Aquaman.” Unfortunately, the lack of a unified plan damaged audience trust, prompting a complete overhaul. Now, under the new management of James Gunn and Peter Safran, the DC Universe is being completely reimagined from its foundations.
