User blog comment:AustinDR/The WORST Films of 2017?/@comment-25008763-20171229170947

sorry but DC shouldn't give up trying - if they did that in the past Batman would never of been rebooted, Superman would of remained locked away (his recent reboot is unpleasant but at least he's still around) and Wonder Woman would never of existed in film form.

what DC needs to do is really improve on how they use film in their storytelling, they need to stop focusing on being dark and edgey - DC has a bad rap for being a few decades behind other comic companies and thus are now in the "90s" stage of wanting to make everything dark and gritty, a fad that died out a while ago and is costing them.

DC needs to remember that different characters need different tones for their stories to work, Batman is gritty and dark but Superman and so on need lighter settings - people make fun of goofy moments in Superman but in the end it's what people secretly love about Superman, he's meant to be a big blue boy scout and an escape from reality.. he's meant to be lighter in tone, not some gritty anti-hero.

DC can make wonderful things if they stop trying to be something they aren't and wake up from the "extreme 90s" mentality - if they got writers from Rebirth and similar on DCEU it would be a much nicer experience for everyone.
