How Warner Bros Can Fix The DC Extended Universe

There's been a lot of talk around the possibility of Warner Bros cancelling the current iteration of the DCEU and starting afresh with a brand new one. However, that doesn't seem right, and it doesn't seem like the studio will do that anyway.

For one, they're not going to just abandon Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, considering she's their only beacon of hope right now. Plus, outright cancelling the DCEU would only make them look cowardly, and make no mistake, studio executives do not like to admit when they're wrong.

Also... there's just too much good within the DCEU to completely dismiss it. Sure, it hasn't been success story after success story, but there are glimmers of light within all that darkness. There are still plenty of redeemable qualities Warner Bros can cling to.

Going forward, it's important that they understand what currently works, and what doesn't. Think of Aquaman and the upcoming slate of movies as a soft reboot, of sorts, one where all the terrible crap has been axed and the positive stuff remains.

Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor, Steppenwolf, the Parademons, and the whole Knightmare/Darkseid angle can all be forgotten about and ignored, and stuff like the bloated, muddled scripts, movies that lack their own flavour and identity, and abysmal editing all need to be fixed.

On the other hand, Wonder Woman should be and will be a prominent figure going forward. DC movies typically have memorable music, so this shouldn't change. Henry Cavill is finally playing the Superman many of us wanted, so keep him around too. Dwayne Johnson is also onboard as Black Adam, and that definitely can't hurt.

The point is, the DCEU isn't rotten to the core, and there's no point in throwing it all out when there's still plenty worth exploiting.
