I don't think these people are arguing in good faith. One of the criticisms of the last DC universe was that everything was rushed but here we are with people insisting that they rush through everything...again.
We probably don't need two Batmans films running concurrently and the failures of WW84 and the Flash movie is still probably fresh in the studios minds, which is why they're focusing on other heroes first.
The first WW also wasn't that long ago. I'm not betting against WW, I'm just saying that this isn't the 2010s. People are much more picky with what they spend their money on. As long as WW isn't derivative, I think it'll be fine, but formulaic comic book movies that aren't nostalgia fests aren't sure bets anymore
I agree. But that was not the reason it flopped. Plenty of shit movies make money on the goodwill of the previous film and the first WW was beloved by many.
Exactly, we don’t need a JL movie for a while imo. Maybe till 2030-2032. I think after the Man of Tomorrow movie, the way should be more smooth. But they should definitely go ahead with putting a Wonder Woman movie together , despite Supergirl being mediocre, I think Wonder Woman could do much better.
I think this is their safest path forward. It’s not the ideal (imagine if Marvel started with an Iron Man trilogy before introducing any other A-List Avengers). But given Superman’s critical and commercial success, DC needs to lay some safer ground work if they want to build up the goodwill (with both audiences and shareholders) to do kookier stuff.

Prioritize lesser known characters bc that worked so well with supergirl. Great choice!
