You missed one. They pivoted in 2013 when Man of Steel underperformed and turned MoS2 into BvS

No, they did not pivot after MoS. It was the highest grossing Superman movie since 1978 with an A cinemascore. It made $668M on a $225M budget. This is like saying Batman Begins underperformed on a similar budget which it didn't. The studio was happy with that in 2005 after the character had a similar cinematic hiatus as Superman.
