WB/DC are in a worse mess now than after Batman & Robin.

At least they had the option to immediately sh^t can everything way back when. Now they are balls deep into making other movies that have already been tainted by the stink of BvS and MoS.

what they can do now is shelve Wonder Woman into oblivion and stop production on Justice League, if they intend to quit like they've always done. just go back to animation which seems to be their best endeavor and without competition there.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. -

I'm 50/50 on this. Warners was actually overall in much worse shape circa 1997-98 than they are right now. The documentary The Death of Superman Lives details this, how WB had a horrid period where nearly everything lost a ton of money and this led to the plug being pulled on the Cage/Burton production.

Exactly!
And remember, Batman & Robin was ultimately a good thing, because it allowed WB time to regroup, consider what went wrong, and then return with the triumphant TDK series.

Honestly if it meant the chance of better films, I'd forgive them if they rebooted the DCEU in the near future (like after JL or something). But I doubt that will happen right?
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals. -

They are in a worst mess because after B and R,they had no commitments,and could easily clean the decks and start over. But now they are heavily commited to a string of very expensive films, and can't just fall back and regroup easily.
They made a horrid mistake in basically giving Zack Synder the keys to the DCU,and now they have to pay the price.
