DCEU and not MCU

13 movies in, the MCU has never had a single movie to be a critical or a box office flop. Yes, I can mention here The Incredible Hulk (which is highly underrated, in my opinion), which didn’t do well with the critics and barely managed to make a profit.

Well, the DCEU has in no way the same kind of track record, because it has released just three movies until now. The formula hasn’t been yet found, and Warner Bros. is still searching for it – Suicide Squad is the best example, with extensive reshoots being ordered after the first reviews of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice were released.

So, for the time being, I cannot expect to see a shared universe rivaling the one from Marvel. What I can expect is experiments in the superhero genre, but experiments that still manage to stay true (to a high degree) to the comics.

Which is great, as far as I am concerned. Don’t tell me you didn’t feel excited when Batman and Superman started trading punches, even if the brawl didn’t last long enough. Concerning this scene, I can say that Warner Bros. managed with this fight what Marvel achieved much later on, in Age of Ultron, with the extended fight between Hulk and Iron Man.
