DC needs to fix some of the problems plaguing their heroes before shilling for their villains.

Yeah, I mean look at Suicide Squad's ad campaign going "time to root for the bad guys" or the most recent video game "LEGO DC Super-Villains".
It's not universal or anything, but it's definitely "an ongoing thing" that crops up with relative frequency, I'd say.
Also, I don't know, look at the Light in Young Justice. That's a pretty high profile DC property, and its Justice League is pretty well equipped, and yet I don't think a single member of the main super-villain team has been defeated or put away in a permanent manner! Maybe the Brain? Maybe. I mean don't get me wrong, I love the Light as a badguy team, and I get that its permanence is based on the way villains in comics stick around forever and ever, but it's definitely a little bit different considering that YJ has such a concrete timeline and series of events compared to the broader, more mythic way most other versions of the DCU usually work. And most other extremely concrete versions of the DCU, like the movies, don't have villains recur nearly so much as YJ does.
I don't know if that's really part of the same ongoing thing where hyping the villains makes heroes look less effective or not, but like... it might be?
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
How? DC has at least 15 comics coming out at a time. How many of those are about the villains?
So two movies that were about the villains vs numerous others that were about the heroes. I don't see how this is emphasizing the villains at the heroes'expense. Hell, Suicide Squad featured a few cameos from two superheroes and they were in no way depicted as ineffective.
As for the Light, like you said, super villains don't get defeated permanently in the comics and even in some animated series. And the YJ universe at least has the excuse that for the longest time, they didn't know who the main villains were and the Light tends to operate in shadow instead of being as loud and attention-grabbing as possible. The heroes aren't ineffective, it's that the villains are more savvy than usual. And the villains still take major losses. Hell, people are already predicting that this Darkseid deal will blow up in their faces.
Vixen should be from Ghana. Zambesi has nothing going for it a a fictional country and Ghana is the country of origin for the Anansi mythology.
I really agree with this, especially since they upped the maturity of YJ. I wouldn't mind them bringing back Justice League Action, art style was good and the writing was funny.
Hopefully the Zoom and Ink stuff will bring it more readers as well as showing new artist and writers. DC Superhero girls, although not for me , I'm glad exist for there is not a lot of family friendly stuff going on right now with DC. Also you'd think DC would have their own team of supernatural mystery solvers that's all ages (The new52 scooby doo one is kind if dark).
Doom Patrol's Cyborg looks way better than the DCEU Cyborg.
Assassinate Putin!
The Titans show is better than the Wonder Woman and Aquaman movies.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

A couple things, but largely because Wonder Woman and Aquaman felt like Marvel movies. I don't like superhero movies that don't take themselves seriously, whether that be by undermining dramatic moments with humor or by revelling in the spectacle or camp. I prefer that the stories take themselves seriously and try to tell as story as any non-superhero movie would.
I also think that Titans' dark tone gives it more, I dunno... style?, than WW and Aquaman, which were pretty much CGI fests.

I actually think Wonder Woman balanced its dramatic moments well with its humorous moments. In a more natural way than a lot of the MCU movies.
I enjoyed the New 52 TT run and still don’t think it was that bad after reading all but 1 of Titan runs
Wonder Woman should be just as strong and as invulnerable as Superman.
