And it does not even need to. People seem to fear that them being connected means all be in the same style and flair probably because most of the MCU movies are that. All they need if a little nod and some respect to the continuity and it could still stand on its own. Its not hard.
The problem are not "the people" that cannot see that it "the right people in the right positions who do not actively work toward a better perception of the DCEU in the eyes of
the people" that are the problem. You probably perceived my rant as MCU fanboyism which I like to assure you is not the case. I do watched all but the last of them as I did with the DCEU and in the latter case got the expensive bluray special editions. Up to Shazam I got and saw them all multiple times. I want them to be successful. But with them not even having any assurance of what the state on two thirds of the trinity for years (and thats just the tip of the iceberg) I and apparently a lot of others just have no confidence in them anymore.
And hard no. With BoP they do not only disrespect Black Canary but also Vixen by having a character that looks like Vixen in not just skin color; but also hairstyle during her time she worked with Huntress (oh surprise....) and her iconic yellow/black outfit style. She looks exactly how I could envision a toned down movie take on Vixen (pics below).
From all I saw its a good Harley Quinn movie and a good action movie. But as far as the BoP and Cass Cain characterization goes its a messy disrespectful trainwreck which for me sours the good parts enough to avoid it for now. And it makes me sad because as a DC fan and DCEU proponent I want to love and embrace it.
I'm surprised black comic book fans are not outraged by movie Black Canary stealing an original black female characters look. ... Oh wait; THEY ARE:

I like your enthusiasm. But please come down your high horse. Its not only not helping to blindly ignore the problems; its making things worse.
