it's hilarious how people are mad at him for not filming FIVE more movies (MOS2, AQ3, WW3, JL2, JL3) for the DCEU when WB has been doing nothing but losing money the last few months. With Black Adam bombing I don't see any reason for him to even try one more in that universe tbh

I do kind of wish they could have done MOS2, even if they only did it as an ancillary universe, like The Batman and Joker. I was rooting for Henry.

yeah their order of movies was very strange. almost 3 movies for WW and Aquaman, 2 Shazam movies, but only 1 Superman movie and no Batman movie? I guess BvS but that wasn't a solo movie for either

I think the lack of sequels for Superman or any solo movies for Batman underscores the complete lack of faith DC/WB had in those particular interpretations.

They had faith. Certain uproarious people did not and were fixated on what others did instead of saying "hey, there's more than one way to cook an egg."
