DC Extended Universe: A Success or the Opposite?

Warner Bros. have been eager to present their audiences and their fans a long list of films, including a batch of star-studded personalities, to don several of the familiar characters from the one of the most iconic readables in America, DC Comics. Through the years, superhero shows have been an icon of joy, surprise, and an eye candy to the watchers especially when in big screens. Since 2013, Man of Steel started what is known to many by now as the DCEU or the DC Extended Universe, which refers to the group of DC films under the view of Warner Bros. Pictures. In relation to that, a friendly rival from the other company presented the same format, in the earlier stage, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

From Batman to Superman, to Joker and Wonder Woman, most of the celebrated superheroes of all time has been presented in the movies, and theatre houses. As of now, the DCEU has presented 7 films in particular:

•Man of Steel

•Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

•Suicide Squad

•Wonder Woman

•Justice League

•Aquaman

•Shazam!

As truthful as it is, the DCEU's plans are not as clear as it may seem. Several unneeded characters, plots that must be portrayed in the later era, and origin stories that are missing in the timeline. The introduction to Robins, an old Bruce Wayne, a young Alfred Pennyworth, a Wally West-ish Barry Allen, the absence of the Green Lantern Corps, a young Joker, an out of the cinematic universe Joker, a CGI-mouthed Superman, unclear release dates, all of them and many unsaid words. But who knows? Clearly, everyone from outside their team has purely no idea what they are up to, or must I say, what Zack Snyder is up to. But for now, let us savor the fact that two films are coming this year:

•Birds of Prey
•Wonder Woman: 1984

Both films being teased ever since last year, fans have been throwing their hypes up since the rival, Marvel Cinematic Universe has been in the state of declination, following the events of Avengers: Endgame. In addition to that, Robert Pattinson's 2021 film The Batman is what everyone's been talking about. So the question that lies: can he and Ezra Miller's Flashpoint (2022) be the solution to DCEU's slow-start?

They might, they might not. For now, let's give out all our support, and long live the age of superhero films.
