Absolutely not.
Every single DC movie from 1978's SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE to 2018's AQUAMAN, whether DCEU or not, has been explicitly aimed at the mass market with the goal of maximum profit.
I will allow that MOS and BVS seemed to want to be more like art films (tho not necessarily succeeding) while still very clearly being blockbusters, but then we're talking wolves in sheep's clothing.
This does partially explain both films' disconnect with the audience, who came for escape and not pontification.
