10 Biggest Mistakes The DCEU Has Ever Made

10. Rushing To Copy The Marvel Cinematic Universe

On a broad, conceptual level, the single biggest mistake Warner Bros. made with the DCEU must surely be rushing to try and emulate the model of the MCU.

With the MCU's colossal box office success, it's easy to see why the studio wanted a similar framework for their interconnected universe of DC movies, yet in their impatience they attempted to sprint their way to the big payoff.

While the MCU spent several years introducing us to all the major Avengers through a bevy of solo films building up to The Avengers blockbuster event, the DCEU skipped straight from Man of Steel to Batman v Superman.

With its Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) appearance and frantic introductions of The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Batman v Superman took a transparent shortcut to setting up the Justice League movie.

And so, without the audience being fully acquainted with these heroes - not to mention the film's many other production issues - Justice League landed with a thud of indifference.

More than anything, it was clear that Warner Bros. lacked a firm plan for the franchise, and rather than spend time investing audiences in these heroes before bringing them together, those in charge had tunnel vision for a billion dollar Justice League payday - one which they ultimately missed out on.
