The Death of The DC Extended Universe (2013 - 2022)

DC basically has 6 different universes, including the ones that failed. Technically 8 if you include their straight to DVD universes

Its important to learn from the past's mistakes and look forward to the future. The DCU has the potential to be an incredible success

Having grown up with the DCAU and also enjoyed seeing Iron Man mentor Spider-Man and Captain America wield Thor's hammer, I think there are lots of good stories to be told by having characters in one universe to interact with. Been up and down with the DCEU (blame is still mostly on the execs) but I'll be in the theater seat to see that Superman:Legacy film.

Every time WB will try to find someone to blame for DCEU fractured legacy they need to look in a mirror. As Zack said in one interview: "Who is Justice League's biggest vilian? You mean TRUE vilian?"

The DCEU was the Star wars sequel trilogy before the Star Wars sequel trilogy. It suddenly changed hands multiple times midway through and no one had a clue what to do with it after that.

The problem is when batman vs superman came out they wanted to catch up very quickly instead of giving the heroes standalone movies to develop as characters themselves they just put them into the teamup movie and hope it all works out. I think james can fix this universe lets cross our fingers and hope dc finally has some great films.

Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice was pretty much the downfall of the DCEU.

Ones who do not learn from history is doomed to repeat it. I can't believe in a time where we see all these heroes on screen including Aquaman, Cyborg and Shazam, that seeing how they handled BATMAN and SUPERMAN is the most frustrating aspects of this universe, it's quite an achievement. You have Superman not learning from his mistakes, Batman destroying his own image over irrational fear, and it's handled so bad.

I think the main thing Wb problem was commitment. Man of steel got alright reviews like iron man 1, a good beginning like mcu. The second bvs got bad reviews they panicked and rushed to "Fix" the Suicide squad 1 and ended with dumpster fire. Think about how much mcu phase 1 was not that great (at the time) incredible hulk and iron man 2 weren't received with good reviews but they kept trying with the same plan. But what gave it more of a bad reputation was firing and replacing Zack while he was mourning the loss of his child.

The DCAU is perfection,WB should have gotten the writers for those shows to make the movies for the DCEU cuz than it be a massive success.

u always gotta appreciate the time and effort put into the information and editing of these videos 💯

Sadly they couldn’t get Dwayne McDuffie as he passed in 2011, due to complications with Heart surgery!

It’s a miracle this channel hasn’t blown up yet. Quality’s so high

R.I.P. Dwayne McDuffie, he is sorely missed. He would have been a GREAT choice to write some of the stories/screenplays for the DCEU.

The lack of overall vision for the DCEU caused all of the associated content to be disposable...smh

Good riddance to the Batman beyond project that was gonna be set in present day. If it isn’t actually Beyond we don’t want it.

6:25 I grew up watching the Bruce Timm cartoons as a kid in Nigeria. One thing I will never understand is why DC and WB didn't use the Justice League animated series or the Batman and Superman animated series as inspiration or basis for the live action movies. They were widely popular, even among non-comic readers. Why didn't they use that?!

Everything was rushed and messy, it's kinda funny seeing the animated movies do a better universe then the live action movies

Stan Berkowitz has written the best justice league cartoons episodes ( better world, secret society, blackinest night & tabulas rasa he should be one the dceu showrunner

I have been waiting for this, you make content like no one else, please don’t stop making content ever!
