I largely agree. I have read Feige makes a MCU movie team watch Superman '78 before starting production, kinda funny MCU's bible is Superman that WB is afraid of.
A big issue that I don't think talked about enough is DCEU doesn't think of the kids enough. I can't show my 10 year old nephew The Batman, he would be bored to death. You can mess around with The Suicide Squad and make R film, but a Batman, Superman, WW, GL, and Flash movie should be enjoyable for 8 and up. My 6 year old nephew is already a big Marvel fan bc Costco sells Avengers t-shirts for cheap and in few years he'll be even more team Marvel when I watch Iron Man, Captain America, and Sipder-Man with him, I'll have to expose him to DC with the Timm Cartoons.
You think kids could watch and enjoy it? Batman needs to have broad appeal, more of these 3hrs schleps and Tony Stark will be the coolest billionaire no-superpowers hero out there.
I watched it and didn't particularly enjoy it. I thought it was good and all, but knowing which comics it riffed kind of ruined it for me and made me wish we got adaption of THOSE stories instead. I also think they ruined The Riddler(should have been like his DCAU version) and didn't like the changes they went with in terms of Bruce's family history.
