When it amount to amusing Christian Bible movies , it is surd for anyone to match up to the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) . This is even tough for established belongings , like those in the DC Extended Universe ( DCEU ) . Despite having characters as democratic as Superman , Batman , andWonder Woman , citizenry seem to love to bop the films .

However , there are more problem than just those seen on the big screen . There is now a disunited fanbase , with unlike fans wanting dissimilar things , and Warner Bros. can not really make everyone happy . What result is what seems like a broken enfranchisement , but not everything about the DCEU is big .

Failed - Severed Fan Base

The risky affair that the DCEU did was to lose confidence in Zack Snyder and make change on the fly , remove him from the game completely . This do an unexpected fracturing of the DCEU fanbase . There were critics of the first two DCEU movie that hated the movies ' grim and dark musical note , saying they wander the characters .

However , when the DCEU changed course of action , the Snyder Cutfans lift , and it seems they were loud enough to get that version ofJustice Leaguemade . Now , two discrete fanbases want different types of DC movies , which has hurt the franchise as a whole .

Succeeded - Took Chances

While there are those DC sports fan who need their picture to be sullen and brooding , the franchise needs something for everyone , and DC has accept some big chances since it launched withMan of SteelandBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice . Some of these failed , like the supervillain team - up movieSuicide Squad , but others were major successes , likeShazam ! , which was a critical pet and made over $ 360 million at the box federal agency .

Failed - Darkened Superman

While the Snyder Cut lover loved the early movie , there was almost universal disdain forMan of SteelandBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justicecame out . The biggest complaints came with the portrayal of Superman . Most DC fans at the time of the movie ’s release plain that this was not Superman , neither the optimism of Christopher Reeve or the sodding and true character from the comic . Zack Snyder turned Superman into a moping emo superhero , and many longtime fans rebel .

Succeeded - Created Perfect Wonder Woman

While the DCEU disappointed many fans when it came to Superman moping around all down and Batman believe violent death was okay , the franchise end up create a perfect Wonder Woman . This is mostly thanks to her solo pic and not the coming into court inBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice .

Director Patty Jenkins take Diana ’s eccentric and gave her the wide - eyed whiteness of her upbringing and put her into a horribly ugly world . The movie then permit her to shine on the man and make everyone around her well . Gal Gadot is everlasting as Wonder Woman .

Failed - Justice League Production

The worst thing that the DCEU did was putJustice Leagueinto the manpower of Joss Whedonto finish . This was not fair to Zack Snyder , who had his typical vision of the DCEU , and it was n’t fair to Whedon , who had to   finish   a movie with orders to make change . What result was an uneven picture show with bits of Snyder ’s visual sensation and mo of Whedon ’s optimistic outlook for the character , and nothing felt cohesive . This modification in directors is what severed the DCEU fanbase . The Snyder Cut ofJustice Leaguewill make one bent of fans happy .

Succeeded - Making Changes On The Run

While not all the changes were majuscule , the DCEU has to be commend for making changes on the run . After the mountain made inJustice League , the DCEU knew that it needed to make some wholesale changes . WithAquaman , it went light and barely plug in it to the former DCEU movies at all . WithShazam ! , it pass away with a more class - friendly feel and add comedic touches . Now , The Suicide Squadwill sample to fix the first motion picture ’s job as the DCEU range on .

Failed - Batman V. Superman

People indicate toJustice Leagueas the movie that broke the DCEU . However , no matter how much some fans will argue its merits , the failure ofBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justiceis where the dam began to crack up . Many vocal fans were already upset with the dark , grizzle Superman . BVSmade it worse .

In this film , the DCEU madeBatman a killer whale , a man who want to mutilate Supermanjust because of what could happen in the future tense . These characters were not the I from the comic . It also hurt that the movie was bloated and would have been better served as two movies , with Doomsday salvage for the next one .

Succeeded - Bringing In Great Directors

There is one area where the DCEU boom . It brings in some big - name directors for the movie . While there are devotee who did n’t likeZack Snyder , the guy rope had some big success storiesin his past , includingWatchmenand theDawn of the Deadremake . Patty Jenkins really work wonders withWonder Woman . James Wan ( Aquaman ) was one of the top humiliated budget horror conductor work . Now James Gunn has fall in up , another huge hire .

Failed - Started Backwards In World Building

credibly the bad decision that the DCEU made was act upon backward when it get along to world - building . It seemed like it wanted to become the next MCU but then did everything wrong . The MCU slowly build up Iron Man and then usher in Captain America and Thor in their origin stories . Hulk had his own motion picture , and only then did the MCU team them up inAvengers . The DCEU brought in Superman and Batman , had Wonder Woman make a modest appearing , and then threw them together for a massiveJustice Leagueadventure . It never felt constituent at all .

Succeeded - Looking To The Future

The best thing that the DCEU has done is expect to the time to come , which is a brand - new key fruit to its achiever . InThe Flash , the DCEU is bring in theFlashpointstoryline . While some fans might think it is too before long for this , the fact that everything is fractured and broken means it is the perfect time to force the induction . WithThe Flash , the DCEU can clean thing up , make a newfangled multiverse where all sort of stories can be told , and finally create something for everyone . It just took them seven years to get to this point .
