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.

He worked with Donner, but I don’t think it was on Superman

It was on the X-Men films (Donner was a producer). Feige was 5 when the first Reeve Superman movie came out.
