Acclaimed by professional critics and audiences alike and got the money Snyder never could. DC wouldn't get a movie to hit a billion until Snyder left, and he made a movie with Batman Superman and Wonder Woman in it.
You'd be wrong, the MCU changed them into super stars. Spider-man joining the MCU has been a massive hit, that's why Sony and Marvel are continuing the relationship. Fox is mixed with X-men, but overall they had great success. It was a franchise that lasted 20 years! Right, there's more to having big names and who the characters are except that's not why the MCU is a success, they've managed to do it all.And how many people cared about the Flash or Aquaman? I consider most of the Avengers to be in the same tier as Aquaman or Flash or maybe even Green Lantern. And so what if they did more with less. Fox completely butchered their X Men cash cow and Sony dropped the ball twice with Spider-Man and are still dropping it with Marvel in the MCU. Big name heroes don't equal good movies hence why every fantastic four movie has been garbage. Spider-Man joining the MCU was suppose to be a game changer but instead has been a huge waste and no I do not care if it has 90 percent on rotten tomatoes or made a billion dollars
Nope, people love brands. James Gunn knows his limits, unlike Snyder. And there's far more going on than simply people being upset about how Snyder wrote the characters.EDIT: I’d say that it’s easier to make a good movie off an unknown property because people don’t have presuppositions about what the character should be. If James Gunn had Batman be a childish outlaw who loves 80s pop he’d be ripped to shreds
They liked Affleck's performance, his Batman was controversial which is why they rebooted him into traditional Batman right after B vs S. The problem with Snyder's batman is that he has an interesting backstory and it never goes into because he didn't get a solo film first and we're supposed to know something happened and something didn't and the movies never explore or confirm anything after B vs S. B vs S may as well be out of continuity after it ended, in its theatrical form. The audience won't care how Batman feels about Dick's death if they don't know who Dick is. WB announces lots of movies, not all of them are guaranteed to happen they're not consistent like Marvel is.Im sorry but that is patronizing and outright wrong. Most people did like Ben Affleck as Batman and have been pushing for his return. What made him interesting was how he was a broken man unlike the in his prime Batman we see all the time it was a breath of fresh air especially since there was only a 4 year gap between BvS and TDKR. Like people thought it was excessive for Sony to reboot Spider-Man after 5 years. Why do we need another Batman origin story? And we aren't meant to feel bad for Dick but understand how Batman's mind has deteriorated so much. It really doesn't matter if the dead Robin is Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Damian or even Carrie. but it doesnt even matter because WB already announced a Nightwing movie
That's what they've been doing since day one. They anted the Avengers cash so they decided to not fo the set up and expect everyone to show up and applaud them and they add on controversial takes on characters. That's what all studios do and what they are doing with Snyder at the helm. B vs S was DCEU Civil War.If they did have a plan they did a real garbage job at planning it and instead decided to chase trends. They see Guardians is a hit they re edit Suicide Squad to copy James Gunn then promptly hire him, they see Deadpool make a lot of money they make Harley Quinn the movie featuring the birds of prey and as much as i liked Shazam I doubt it would've happened without Ant-Man
