That's really a big problem. It's not just that 'Man of Steel' is a bad movie; it's that it demonstrates that DC's entire cinematic universe is on a hiding to nothing, maybe for years to come.

Look, we already have enough harrowing beep in our lives. America is one of the most depressed nations on the planet. And DC Comics, we don't need you invoking 9/11 in a fcking Superman film. We need a dose of optimism, and you need to stop getting your asses handed to you by a raccoon nobody knew the name of three months ago.

Yup. DC is different from MARVEL. DC shouldn't even try to make a movie universe, won't work.
This article is more or less on target.
Disney/MARVEL sat down and came up with a plan.
WB/DC make it up as they go along. This really should be obvious to everybody by now.
Oh well when MoS 2 bombs, game over and done.
Sad thing is DC is really easy. WB just doesn't get it as MoS proved. -

Indeed. When WB announced that a Batman/Superman film was their next project and not a sequel to MOS, that's when I knew there could be a problem.
(Although I could go back a few years and pinpoint their problems to not giving Superman Returns a much-needed sequel.)

I saw the trailers for MoS and saw the problem right there. B v S, is a sequel o MoS.

Sure, Superman Returns should have had a sequel and one of the problems with GL (and remember I love GL) was this: was GL its own universe or was it a DCU movie? Wasn't clear. -

Very true
That's why they're back-peddling on a lot of their initial ideas regarding MoS and the DC Universe in general.
BvS will shift tone, setting and the way the world functions - it's not going to be as dreary and bleak as MoS, not because of ''natural'' progression - but because people didn't like it.
Adding in magic and ''normal'' people who have a ''super durable'' armor which can withstand a punch by a Kryptonian does not FIT into the quasi-realistic (Sci-fi-ish) MoS tone.
