Well, the reviews are in: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice kinda stinks. While that may bode ill for DC's (and related corporate entities') hopes at a Marvel-like "Extended Universe" of cash-printing movies, it's hardly a surprise for fans. After making the big screen safe for superheroes with a couple of excellent adventures a generation or two ago, DC has proven — with one Christopher Nolan-sized exception — to be fairly hit-or-miss at getting the magic up on screen. The company has a few honest-to-Zod icons on its hands, but their super powers do not include an immunity to iffy filmmaking choices. Let us assess the relative merits of movies inspired by their comics and graphic novels.
Warner Bros. will be establishing two separate DC cinematic universes for now on - the DCEU and the rebooted continuity featuring Robert Pattinson's Batman.
I hope they have one universe that is actually consistently dark and mature like the Joker, instead of PG-13 bullshit that is the current universe.
Joker is not officially linked to the DCEU but to DC Black. Films in this category are not directly connected to the main DC cinematic universe but DCEU,
no, far from it. in fact, the complete opposite for me. DCEU is a lost "cash grab" cause.
I'd be totally fine with this being a prequel universe or something along those lines. You could easily involve Wonder Woman, considering she's getting a movie that takes place in 84', a young batman with robin before he died. You could always have a Flashpoint event that creates an alternate universe where the present Clark, Aquaman, and Cyborg go back in time for a Justice League in the 80's film. The possibilities are there, they just need to make the right cards fall in place and HAVE A PLAN.
