If Man of Steel is considered the highpoint of the shared universe, it doesn't really mean anything, considering how the following two movies performed. What will Warner Bros. do now? Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice addressed the main issues of Man of Steel. Suicide Squad underwent reshoots after Batman v Superman was clobbered by the critics.
