10 years after Zod’s snapped neck, Martha, “some kinda Suicide Squad”, CGI moustache, rennouncing your wish, the hiearchy of power changing, and Speed Force PS1 graphics, the DC Extended Universe finally comes to a close. And it ends the same way it started - with a Rotten score.

Looking back at all this wasted potential, what would you have done differently with the DCEU, and what are your hopes for James Gunn’s DC Universe?

      Trying to make DC a gritty Marvel is what fucked it up for them.

      The core Justice League members are endlessly optimistic and idealistic, even Batman, and that is what makes them work.

      Having Superman let a tornado kill his dad is what makes it fail.

        Eh. I think the issue is they were half assed gritty. Either go balls to the walls or don’t. None of this gritty shit peppered with smarmy one liners every five mins. Commit goddammit.

          I would have them study Superman and Lois. It’s the best on screen Superman since Reeve, and Tyler Hoeclin is the best Superman… probably ever. Even better than Reeve. Clark is a fully realized person and not just an identity for the off hours. Take some lessons from that series and you might have something.
