[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 7473120, member: 1125"] The DC movies made money, but with the most famous superheroes ever that was almost guaranteed. I think that WB, in trying to differentiate its movies from Marvels took a gamble on trying to present an adult DC product via Snyders Grim and Gritty take on the genre. The gamble didnt pay off as well as they wanted it to. the general audience didnt want it and WB failed to grasp the power of modern social media (Marvel in contrast has used social media well) Now with Snyders departure and Wonder Womans success I do think WB has learnt from its mistakes, and Shazam and Aquaman will be the test as to whether it can pull off a movie with a bit of added pizazz and levity. I think its also notable that WB is moving its marketing to Worlds of DC rather than DCU, it seems to invoke Elseworlds and that gives DC the chance to experiement with different mixes of character and style until they find something that hits the mark (even doing things like casting 2 different Jokers), but thats also why I think the announcements need to be treated as a public brainstorming exercise rather than a definite movie roster... anyway positive about the upcoming movies..
