10 Reasons We've Already Given Up On The DC Cinematic Universe

8. DC Hasn't Learnt The Right Lessons From Marvel

Snyder is the kind of filmmaker Marvel avoids: a hack director with a history of questionable movies. You see, Marvel has taken 'risks', apparently, by choosing proven directors who have the ability to bring their own uniqueness along to projects, as opposed to the kind of yes-man blandness Snyder brought to Man of Steel. Marvel goes for 'offbeat' and for variety because the studio understands that resting on your laurels leads to audience fatigue. This is something that, so far, DC appears to have missed. All the usual suspects will likely appear in Justice League, following a Superman origins movie that really didn't try to do anything different, nor distinguish itself from the already packed superhero marketplace. DC's biggest mistake is its short-term thinking, which stands in complete opposition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) model. Marvel has plans that stretch to 2028 - ambitious, obviously (it's unlikely comic book movies will still be all the rage after 14 more years packed with them), but the studio at least knows how to pace itself. Marvel managed to ease audiences into the idea of Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye by introducing them via the movies of more well-known characters. At the moment, it seems DC's only plan is to cram as many of its most popular characters into its next two movies as it can.
