Formatting of this is going to be janky as I include my own tangential thoughts on the topic in quoted sections to try and split them up from things.

While Miller's behaviour/speedrun to oblivion is ongoing DC is probably on Suicide Squad watch since their upcoming Flashpoint movie is meant to soft reset the DCCU, replacing both Batfleck and maybe Chinman [Cavill] but retaining the rest of the cast, including Amber Heard possibly because that's so much of a good idea...

That said the DCCU never really got going in the first place as it fucked about with it's ensemble pieces too soon before establishing anything, in part because the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy was still ongoing when Marvel was setting up shop and by the time DC tried to jump on that gravy train Marvel was already post Avengers and laughing all the way to Endgame the bank.

1. The first DCCU film was Man of Steel that is for all intents and purposes an adaptation of Superman: Earth One by J. Michael Straczynski.

Yes, *that *JMS of Babylon 5 fame who writes with a plan rather than in the moment.

As an aside some of my favourite comic stories are written by him, namely the Supreme Power series dealing with Hyperion and the Squadron Supreme [a Justice League pastiche] which sets things in a far more "normal" world with all the paranoia and contingencies you might expect to happen if an alien baby were to land on Earth and rather than be raised by a random family is brought up by the US military.

So MoS is a bad telling of S:E1, a comic written by JMS.

2. Then there was Dawn of Justice which was a bad telling of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, a story that like many other big events only worked because there was a lot of history [and cast] already in place.

TDKR is set years after most JL stuff happens with a 55 year old Bruce Wayne eventually coming into direct conflict with Superman for the series finale. The whole thing only works because the two have decades of interpersonal history and decades of comics/material that fans have consumed so they understand the gravitas of the story.

Note my use of "fans" here is the unironic 'true fans' and not the modern consoomerism trendhoppers that infect things these days.

Yet DC go straight for that story with their second outing because of the big names involved and then pivot into Death of Superman by bringing in "Doomsday" which was a shitty mutated Zod and killing Superman 2 movies into their franchise.

Sure DoS means fans know it's not permanent but doing it that soon was just fucking retarded.

Marvel's Civil War comic event was similar to TDKR a [huge] conflict amongst the long established superhero community but the actual movie version only really had a dozen characters in the end facing off against each other. The Flash tv show did the Flashpoint event at the end of s2/start of s3 which is again far, far too early for something that is meant to show you an alternative timeline of events and highlight just how different the characters the fans know are. Those changes are the very thing that make the story interesting and 2 years of Flash, plus 3/5 or so years of Arrow, was never going to be enough for those changes to be significant enough and moreso when they get [mostly] fixed within the same episode and return things to [almost] the status quo.

3. Suicide Squad was a bad telling of Assault on Arkham, one of DC's animated films written by Heath Corson.

AoA is even almost the exact same cast as what SS ended up with. Batman and Joker are both ere. The Squad lineup is almost identical. The only "big name" missing would be The Riddler and even then he's still below both Batman and Joker in terms of prestige.

4. The Justice League movie was a bad telling of Justice League: War.

Again however one of the biggest problems JL faced was far too little established material before jumping to a big ensemble piece. Avengers had 2 Iron Man movies, 1 Captain America movie, 1 Thor movie, and 1 Hulk movie that many probably forget about [the one with Edward Norton]. So 4/5 ish movies to set the cast as well as bring in others such as Black Widow in Iron Man 2, Hawkeye in Thor, the plot device/Tesseract in Captain American, and the villain, Loki, in Thor. JL only ends up working because the Snyder Cut needed 3/4 hours to fill in the backstory DC should have already put out in the first place.

You may notice a pattern here. "Take something that exists, and fuck it up." This isn't even considering whatever woke meddling might be present, DC just drop the ball every fucking time as the aforementioned source materials were all well received, far more than any of the adaptations that were then put out.

Amongst this clusterfuck are the various firings and hiring, and re-hirings, that have gone on due to arguable less insane behaviour.

• The Flash tv show fired actors/characters [Elongated Man] who didn't have acceptable political [Left] leanings.

• James Gunn was fired, and then re-hired after cast protests, due to comments he made yeeears before any of the Marvel movies were made.

• Marvel replaced both Edward Norton as The Hulk and Terrence Howard as Rhodey/Warmachine, hiring Mark Rufalo and Don Cheadle in their respective places.

Yet DC is so completely fucked by their own mishandlings that they need Ezra despite these repeated beatings "fuckups" and more and more normies are waking up and discussing the points regarding how Ezra claiming to be non-binary is being used as a bike lock tool to shut down criticism aimed at Ezra specifically criticisms aimed at woke mentality in general regarding pronoun use and how they are faulty syllogisms.
