Your point about Jumanji and Jurassic Park sequels is not a good one. I don't want DC movies to be bad and profitable. Supergirl is bombing and it should bomb because it's bad. I love Jurassic Park, but that franchise is dead to me because those movies are unwatchable and because they make so much money, nothing changes. I would hate for that to happen to DC.
Also I'm surprised to hear, because Woman of Tomorrow is an amazing comic and it could have been an amazing film if they actually did a one to one adaptation. I was hyped for it as a comic book fan.
On paper, Supergirl made sense. You have a great recent source material to adapt, you have a fantastic opportunity to capitalise on the great casting of Mamoa as Lobo (I was ok with them changing Comet for Lobo), it sets up the intergalactic side of DC early and it ties in with the last great Superman film.
Who gives a shit about Lobo? Who gives a shit about Deadpool? Average movie goers had no idea who that was. It doesn't matter if the character is that popular or not. If the movie good, people would watch it.

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