Lies. He said that they will have more lightness and could be improved. He didn't say anywhere that they were awful. Most audiences liked BVS. The DCEU is doing just fine in terms of financial and audience success. Stop spreading lies.

You're retarded. Most audiences were gravely disappointed with BvS.
Why the fk do you think it had a 69% drop off follow up weekend with NO competition? Lol
It had historic box office drop offs and hardly anyone I know really liked it. Who woulda thought that Deadpool would beat it domestically? -

I find it interesting that when BvS did really big numbers WW its opening weekend, some people would say, "But hey, it's opening all around the world at the same time, so that doesn't count." But then when it has a bigger drop off the following weekend, some people conveniently ignore the same effect, that the release wasn't staggered, and therefore it would make sense that it would have a larger drop off.

It had the freakshow appeal of Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman all on-screen for the first time in history. It was always gonna do well opening weekend.
If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions. -

Lets not forget months of advance sales.

He was speaking to current and potential investors so it's likely he was using euphemisms to describe how he really thought. Afterall, he doesn't want to discourage them into leaving. Im glad he's being self aware of the criticism that massive amount of people have had towards the DCEU. This whole marvel vs dc feud makes fanboys on both sides blind.

And apparently the DCEU is losing a ton of money as well.

The ceo of wb/DC can admits, whatever the hell he wants too. But the bottom line is this dceu universe is tainted as hell. And a reboot should be done with Snyder, and his cast is as far away as possible from the DC universe until then fvck wb/DC.

CEO Himself Admits That The DCEU Has Been Awful
That's not what he said.
"The main thing was to launch these DC characters and reinvigorate it with their loyal fanbasehave a little more lightness in them than maybe what youve seen in those movies, so were thinking about that."These movies were very successful in the strategic aims and financial aims we had for them. They helped to reinvigorate moviegoers interest in the characters. So the strategy worked. The execution did deliver what we wanted.What you shouldnt take away is that you should be worried about this. Were actually more optimistic about it than we were.Were right on course, or better."
~Q&A at Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference
Later on he mentioned room for improvement, which is CEOspeak for "it could have been better." Hardly awful. No CEO is going to say that to investors.

CEO Himself Admits That The DCEU Has Been Awful
That's very much what he said if you read a bit between the lines. For a CEO to say as much speaks volumes. It's as harsh as he can get given the circumstances.
