DC went downhill after The Dark Knight Trilogy
All these new DC movies pale in comparison to TDK trilogy.They really drop the ball in good quality story telling.

DCEU is becoming a wasted potential.
Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are Bronies
Yeah. That much could be expected. WB didn't even let time pass. They just made another batman movie. (BVS was much better than any Marvel movie since Iron Man.)
Iron Man was great.
Iron Man 2 was good.
The Incredible Hulk was subpar.
Ant Man was alright.
But Civil War...was *beep* Mainly because it felt exactly like The Avengers. Thor. The Age of Ultron. The Winter Soldier.

DC would have be great in order to go downhill though. TDK Trilogy was good because they had a good director, DC was still polluting crap like Jonah Hex, Green Lantern, and Superman Returns around that 2005-2012 period.
shareDCEU is the worst superhero franchise
shareYou say that like Green Lantern and Catwoman were never made....and what other movies followed The Dark Knight Trilogy? Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad? And since when did DC become DC? After Marvel started coining Marvel? I hate how everything is referred to as Cinematic Universe. You know what that means? It means the writers don't have enough talent to write a single movie. Or fan pressure // studio interference prevent the writers from doing so?
Really though? Comic Con? Every *beep* year? Does nothing satisfy the so-called fans? It's a slap in the face for true moviegoers. Every trailer needs to premiere at Comic Con. Then it leaks onto the internet. Then part of the moviegoing experience is ruined thanks to neglected children that never got shown any love. Dressing up as comic book heroes or space aliens to suit what needs? Last time I checked none of the above were listed on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. These people need to get a *beep* life. They could start by opening a psychology book and educating themselves. Maybe some time alone will help alleviate this internal need to be noticed.
“When you expect the world to end at any moment, you know there is no need to hurry."
People get so pissy and childish. "Oh, I can't like Batman so I have to pick out the most uncommon DC comic book hero and pretend I was some lifelong fan. And since everyone I know likes The Dark Knight trilogy, I'm going to troll the forums and make claims that the movie isn't as good as people say it is."

Agreed.
sharefor me as a long time DC comics fan, it's been brilliant
EXACTLY! Fanboys are irrational when it comes to critiquing things they like. They dismiss all criticism as nit-picks.
When I hear people talk about BvS, I am surprised every time by just how much went over their head.
What exactly do you think went over our heads? The hypocrisy of Batman whining about collateral damage or MAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! ? share

I don't understand why people like you get so offended when someone like me says that "things went over a lot of casual viewer's heads"...
Maybe if that is what you said the first time....

justanicknamed isn't your average keyboard warrior. If you spend enough time talking to him, he'll eventually realize how stupid he is in comparison and put you on ignore, as he's already done with several posters, including myself.
He uses generic terms like 'Nolanite' or 'fanboi' to describe anyone who disagrees with him, and has become a board regular on a forum for a movie he hates. That's the kind of guy you're dealing with here.
The future is in the hands of a man who has none.(As in no future, as opposed to no hands.)

Don't forget how he pokes fun at "DC fanbois" while he hates on The Dark Knight by saying, "Oh, I've been reading DC comics for years, and The Dark Knight is nothing like the comics." share
Or maybe if you were a little more humble
Hypocrite much?
My original comment was:
I know what it was. I quoted it and showed YOUR arrogance.

There's a difference between rewarding long term comic fans with well placed references and just piling *beep* in to win over fanatics and make a quick buck.
DC EU has done nothing but the latter. B v S basically reflect Zack Snyder's obsession with gratuitous violence and big crashes at the expense of any substantive investigation of character dynamics, etc. And it still plays safe by referencing the last 25 years of DC comics. If it really wanted to be edgy, it could have rewarded devoted comic fans by respecting the lineage going back to the Silver and Golden Ages in subtle but interesting ways or better still trying to approach Batman as a good old fashioned detective v Superman's savior approach. I'd really pay to see a movie doing a noir-type Batman or pulp type Batman in the style of the 40's Golden Age comics, but with perhaps better written storylines mixing elements of earlier stories. One of my professors is a published comics scholar who has been reading DC in depth for decades (since he was a kid) and he couldn't stand B v S. In fact, quite a few devoted DC comics fans despised that movie for the reasons I listed and others. It was a clunky mess, relying on star power and shallow commercial power, made to cement the DC EU (as opposed to the earlier plan of a Superman reboot trilogy) and compete with Marvel to the point of ripping off its strategy. As someone who knows something (won't claim to be an expert) about DC Lore, it didn't appeal to me at all. Casual viewers aren't the only ones.

Same here
shareThey made the mistake of letting Zack Snyder direct Man Of Steel, and then direct Batman V Superman.
sharethat about sums it up
