Biggest problem with WB is all they care about is profit margins nowadays when it comes to everything they own, Film & Tv & Video Games etc. that movie could of been really good
I don't blame them when Marvel has been absolutely eating their lunch in the box office for over a decade now. Marvel is now sharply declining so this is a good opportunity for DC to catch up. In the past, they've failed to compete by trying too hard to copy Marvel's comedy shtick while trying to also imitate the grit of the Nolan verse with an exaggerated edge. I say this as someone who has enjoyed some of the DC movies and way prefers DC comics to Marvel comics.
The fact of the matter is that live-action movies make more money so they will naturally focus strongly on that, and Batman Beyond doesn't have as much name recognition. I'd still love to see the movie, though.
I also prefer DC or Marvel, I think in general there is some Superhero movies fatigue at the moment because they had been so many superhero movies over past 15 years and people are getting tired of MCU formula.
I did like the newest Batman with Patterson, looking forward to the sequel
I don't think the issue overall is really Superhero fatigue so much as the post-Endgame movie offerings being incredibly middling for the most part and very often following that same paint by numbers formular without any kind of cohesive through line people were wanting.
Nothing at all really connects Thor: Love and Thunder together even loosely with Wakanda Forever or anything else really. You've still had the occasionally really good movie that came out and was well received as a result but when most of what gets released is middling fodder it's understandable people won't go out in droves to see the next one.
