I’m one of those who is lucky enough/daft enough to have really enjoyed 80% of the DC movies in this recent run. But after hearing rumours that (true or not) there’s apparently going to be yet another course correction because JL didn’t perform as well as expected I really think it’s time for them to stop trying to make a cohesive universe happen. It’s just not working because they’re making it up as they go and being completely reactionary.

The original (admittedly vague) intention years ago was to have MOS set in the Nolanverse and look how far away from that things are now. I think the whole thing would work much more smoothly if they simply made standalone stories.

I’m a big fan, I own all four films so far on 3D blu-ray and I’ll be buying JL too. But if I am feeling more awkward than excited at the prospect of what that JL end credit scene was setting up and their upcoming roster in general then something’s gone wrong.
