It looks terrible, DC just can’t seem to understand... respect the source material...

Every movie they try to take well established characters and try to make them something they aren’t.... I’m sure it will make money, but it they plan on a long running franchise by the way they are handling the characters don’t bet on it

Will it make money? All they have to do is look at the Marvel movies. Imagine the hundreds of millions involved and they keep buying lousy directors and scripts. Wonder Woman is the lone exception.

Warners, DC’s parent company makes the movies. They are a director centric studio. Marvel created their own production company that handles all of their properties except X-Men, Fantastic Four and Spider-man.

DC has little to no input on how the movies are made.

On an aside, DC properties are killing it on the small screen with Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Gotham, Lucifer, I Zombie, and Preacher all ongoing. Upcoming series include Black Lightning, Krypton and Titans. Also current animated series are Young Justice, Justice League Action and Teen Titans Go!

It is a good time for comics fans.

This has been a problem from the beginning. It all began when Time/Warner bought out DC in the early '70s and put a girl in as publisher ... a girl who did not grow up reading superhero comic books.

This was botched from the very beginning when they had Mario Puzo write the original Superman movie, and they tried to turn it into a Christ theme, with a God sized Marlon Brando offering his only son for the next 25 years. They also did not respect the iron rule of not being able to change the past.

The Marvel movies are storyboarded like comic books. The DC movies are scripted like action movies. DC was historically light and fun compared to Marvel, which is why I read them growing up.
