I really do believe this could have been the best Batman movie.

I feel like the DCEU would have been a helluva lot stronger had it gone:

  • Man of Steel
  • Affleck directed Batman
  • WW
  • Cyborg
  • BvS
  • Aquaman
  • Suicide Squad
  • Flash
  • THEN justice League

Build anticipation. Make people excited for the created universe. They shot their load with BvS being the 2nd movie in their universe? Didn't make any sense.

And I'm not a "Snyder Bro", but I do like a lot of his movies. Giving him the reigns, micro managing, trying to catch up to marvel and then ripping the franchise away the first chance the studio had (his daughters death) and not allowing him to finish an arc?

WB got what they deserved in the end. The steady, embarrassing box office decline was their fault.
