15 Fixes To Save The DC Extended Universe
10. Listen To Fans, But Don't "Marvel-ise" The DCEU
While Warner Bros. would be stupid not to listen to fans' most vocal complaints about their movies so far, there's also a balance in so far as not deigning to every fanboy whim merely because they're scared of losing their audience.
As much as more humour and a less-dour tone would probably make the movies more financially successful and critically acclaimed, it's important that Warner don't just "Marvel-ise" their universe in a desperate, cynical attempt to make more money.
Yes, Marvel Studios are doing so much right, but to simply follow their lead would be a huge mistake. Sure, add more humour and "fun" to the DCEU, but don't just copy the MCU formula to the beat, or the already template-driven nature of comic book movies will feel even more cookie-cutter.
The fact that Warner originally rubbished the idea of having mid-and-post-credits scenes but are already making use of them three movies in perhaps suggests that they are going to borrow a few pages from Marvel's book, but hopefully this won't lead to an overly quip-heavy Justice League or anything like that.
