TheVileOne 2,290 Posted February 18, 2017 Superman Returns got better reviews than Man of Steel and is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics generally liked Superman Returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Unholy Dragon 779 Posted February 19, 2017 Fair. I forgot that. But the audience rating is mild and response at the time wasn't great. Also it flopped...ish. Did $391 mil worldwide...against a $270 million budget. So what would have been a solid performance at a $100 mil budget was a huge money loss. The point is that Returns didn't land the way they wanted and killed the franchise in a similar way Batman and Robin did, creating the opening for Snyder to do what he wanted with MoS as long as it was grimdark and navel gazey because that's all they got out of why Nolan's Batman films succeeded.

The Natural 28,346 Posted February 24, 2017 To DCEU heads, First: Please make the DCEU better. Read how Grant Morrison and Scott Snyder write Dick Grayson. No New 52 red and black suit. Thanks, The Natural. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Unholy Dragon 779 Posted February 24, 2017 Here's the thing: If Nightwing can keep its director and remember why they hired him? It'll be great I think. There's really no reason the DCEU can't produce popup hits as even if you hated all three films so far, they at least had different flaws. Man of Steel was too mopey, BvS was too slow, Suicide Squad lacked narrative depth. In hindsight BvS would have been much improved by more of MoS's big action. I've enjoyed all three a lot with criticisms though, so maybe I'm the wrong judge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a fair question. Interviews from other Suicide Squad actors alluded to Leto being a pain to deal with. Why not avoid the drama when you have other options. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niners Fan in CT 14,189 Posted February 25, 2017 DCEU is SAVED... until the next story breaks. I've stopped following the news. I don't give a shit anymore until maybe a trailer drops, if that. I've focused my attention on the upcoming Infinity films and meanwhile, if DC gets their shit together, cool. If not, maybe I'll be around in the next decade when they start over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
