How about those reviews?
Oh yeah, the films suck and won't hold up to time.
Also Batman VS Superman was beep at the box office. It came up nearly $400 million short of Civil War, and technically should have done better, which means it was almost half a billion short of what it should have gotten.
And you call that good? Are you a beep idiot? -

Both films made a healthy profit; and
Suicide Squad
helped to make up for the poorer performance of
BvS
(which was far too expensive). That's more important to Warner Bros. than great reviews.
Suicide Squad
was certainly flawed, but it was still enjoyable if you didn't think too much about its flaws. Even
BvS
had some good with the bad (Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman; Ben Affleck's Batman).

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
- Production Budget: $250,000,000
- Worldwide Gross: $873,260,194 (Domestic: $330,360,194; Foreign: $542,900,000)
Suicide Squad - Production Budget: $175,000,000
- Worldwide Gross: $745,600,054 (Domestic: $325,100,054; Foreign: $420,500,000)
Even adding in the advertising budgets, where do you get a half-billion shortfall?

They're all smiling. They're pulling in big numbers at the start of their "cinematic universe" regardless of horrible reviews. Sure, a Batman+Superman movie should've passed a billion, easy. But considering they made about the darkest, weirdest, most convoluted, overlong and non-crowdpleasing Batman+Superman movie possible, it's box-office was impressive as hell. Believe me, everythings sunny in their offices. The only huge conflict over these films is in message boards like this lol.

Critically? No
Financially? Ehh.
MoS, BvS and SS all underperformed, and from what I've read, they spent way too much on their budget for BvS (outside of production budget, I'm talking advertising, distribution etc.). But even though they didn't make as much money as they could have and should have, they weren't box office flops. Sure they could have done better, but it still wasn't a bad day at the office for WB/DC. And I honestly don't get the impression the WB execs are too concerned with how their movies are received critically or if they're divisive, as long as they're making money, which is their main objective.
