10 Quick Ways To Fix The DCEU
9. Not Every Film Needs To Be A Huge Crossover
Of the seven movies the DCEU have released, three have attempted to be huge, world-ending events: Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League. It's no surprise that these three movies are considered the worse within the DCEU and, at the very least, the most controversial.
The reason for that is pretty simple: you can’t develop multiple, well-written characters in one single movie. What do we really know about Ben Affleck's portrayal of Batman in Batman VS Superman? We know he doesn’t like Superman, and that's pretty much it.
On the other hand, take, for example, Wonder Woman. She is a well-developed, well-written and loved by fans. Why? Because she was given time to develop. By the same token, if you watch Batman vs Superman or Justice League without watching Wonder Woman, then she is as shallow as the other characters.
If every movie is a galaxy-wide important event, than it feels not only forced, but it also cheats the audience out of potentially fantastic smaller-scale story lines. World-Ending events are for fully developed characters reaching the end of their arch, not a means to shove-in as many underdeveloped characters as possible in order to beat Marvel to the punch.
