<p dir="auto">Despite a few dollar signs, the critical reception to both Suicide Squad AND BvS was pitiful, and even the most loyal fans had difficulty mustering up enthusiasm for the movies that painted even DC's big guns as silly and poorly written caricatures to be mocked and laughed at.<br />
Since Man of Steel the DCEU has been floundering and it's continued to miss the mark for not just one, not two, but all three films thus far.<br />
TRUE fans have been begging for a change, critics have been laughing about it, and now, Jeff Bewkes, the chief-CEO of Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Brothers, has come out and said the words that we've all been saying the DCEU is a mess and improvements need to happen. During an investor meeting Q&amp;A, he basically acknowledged that the DCEU SUCKS. He didn't say those exact words but he had to be truthful and admit how all three movies have dropped the ball. After all, he wants money from the guys he was talking to and those guys aren't stupid.<br />
So, anyone here that wants to keep defending this DCEU garbage think about this for a moment. Even those at the top acknowledge the movies have been bad but they vow to make them better. Get on that train and quit fooling yourselves. Bury these awful film and hope that they do more in the future then just make the stupidity we've seen "lighter and funnier." If they think that's the only problem here than we're all still screwed.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hey, Wingnut9,<br />
Although he did say that it could be lighter and they would consider looking at it, Jeff Bewkes never said that the DCEU was a mess. He did say that the films were hits and that we shouldn't be listening to critics. I think you are trying to blow this out of proportion to serve your agenda.</p>

<p dir="auto">CEO Himself Admits That The DCEU Has Been Awful<br />
That's not what he said.<br />
"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."<br />
~Q&amp;A at Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference<br />
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.<br />

<p dir="auto">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.</p>
