10 Fatal Mistakes That Ruined The DCEU

10. Rebooting Already Is An Admission Of Failure

It hasn't even been seven years since the DCEU was officially launched, and the fact that Warner Bros. are already in the midst of a soft reboot of the entire franchise indicates that they're more than aware that their initial approach was doomed to fail.

We're less than two and a half years removed from the date Justice League hit theaters, and Ben Affleck's Batman is already consigned to the history books, with the Caped Crusader getting rebooted once more with Robert Pattinson under the cape and cowl. Similarly, Ray Fisher's Cyborg seems to have been erased from existence, The Flash is still no closer to getting his solo movie in front of cameras, and the speculation surrounding Henry Cavill's future as Superman doesn't seem to be going away.

Suicide Squad's David Ayer has already admitted that James Gunn's follow-up isn't a direct sequel to his movie, while Birds of Prey furthered this sentiment by seemingly writing Jared Leto's Joker out of the DCEU for good. Warner Bros. decision to rewrite their own history so quickly after it happened only goes to show how badly they botched the early years of their shared universe.
