They're not very good. Even WW would be a mid-low tier MCU film and that's the best they have.

There is no indication that will be set in the 90s or part of the "DCEU" at all. For all we know, it is a hard reboot for Batman, not a soft one.SS is as they're using a lot of the same actors from the previous one but Batman will be set in the 90s apparently but also part of the DCEU. We just won't see current familiar faces since current DCEU besides WW is in the present.
Honestly, the only real horrid movie is Batman V. Superman. Man of Steel, Suicide Squad, and Justice League aren't good but not the worst things ever. Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Shazam are all great movies. And the only real money loser was Justice League, so it's not a failure by any means, especially with Joker, Birds of Prey, and WW1984 on the horizon.
It's just a failure in comparison to Marvel, and honestly what ISN'T a failure in comparison. Compared to Fox's efforts, Logan notwithstanding, DC might as well be crowned.
5.3bill WW in 7 movies is a failure? I'm pretty certain that even out grosses the first 7 MCU movies.
They dropped the ball hard and left money on the table but it's hardly a failure.
The orange guy who talks to fish???Wonder no more.
Aquaman is WB's second most successful film at the box office ever.
It's worldwide gross is greater than any Spider-Man film to date.
Last I heard his contract was getting close to expiring and he was having creative differences with WB over the Flash movie which made him want out. Something about Ezra wanting to do a darker Flash movie and WB wanting something more up beat and fun.
Simply put with Snyder at the helm they weren't actually building a cinematic universe. Snyder was planning a limited run of films which had they played out would have ended with most of the main cast dead. That's why he was so casual about killing off minor characters like Olson.
As things stand the DCEU is not a confirmed failure as it is still going and I think the best of it is still ahead. The problem is that we are stuck with a lot of Snyder leftovers like old Batman, crap Lex etc in continuity that would normally encourage a reboot. On the other hand there are salvageable and profitable elements still in play.
I personally believe that there will be a new DCEU incorporating things like Shazam which is why they are only tying in that film to continuity in a very general way.
Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam all have been great. Let's just hope they can keep up the momentum.
Is it thought? Wonder Women, Aquaman, and Shazam are all well-liked.

Well most of it is conjecture but by rumour it was originally a three picture arc with Lois dying in the second film, Superman going bad and the League and earth being totally trashed (aka BVS vision scene) with the few survivors mounting a Mad Max style resistance in film 3.Oh yeah, wasn't Snyder's original script for Justice League a total fucking downer where most of the heroes were already dead at the start of the movie and Superman had gone evil?
You just described every comic book movie, everAquaman great lol
Pretty much the epitome of blockbuster trash. Awful story, awful script, awful acting, an hour too long, just endless CG puppets flopping around and blowing up interspersed with painfully bad character interactions. Hot garbage.
Justice League made less money than Doctor Strange.
Even comparing it to other DC movies, none of the DCEU movies made as much money as the Dark Knight or Dark Knight Rises.
ooo how do you hold babies with all that edge?
The problem isn't that he doesn't like superheroes, the problem is that he has no clue how to make a good movie and that he thinks that the only interesting characters are bleak, dark and broken characters.They picked a person who does not like superheroes, but likes dark edgy power fantasies, as their main architect. A person who reads comics but somehow does not understand them and only sees the surface. You know, the director of Sucker Punch.
Lack of empathy can be a problem.even the ones people enjoy like Aquaman and Shazam look terrible. Can't understand why people would want to watch them.
In the case of dark gloomy Batman tone, it does look like they're on course to right the ship. Things are looking up for the new DCEU!Batman.
The tone of the DCEU movies revolves around Batman, making everything more dark and gloomy than it should be.
