Well the numbers don’t lie—Justice League was a bust. What was intended to be Warner Bros. and DC’s answer to The Avengers instead landed with a thud when it hit theaters last November, on the heels of production issues, extensive reshoots, and the reported firing of original director Zack Snyder. The superhero team-up has now concluded its box office run, and with a worldwide total … Continue reading ‘Justice League’ Ends Box Office Run as Lowest-Grossing DCEU Movie!!!
Despite earning $657 million worldwide, Justice League was basically a flop because a movie that brought together that many superheroes should have cleared a billion easily. Instead, it showed that although people really liked Wonder Woman (which earned $821 million worldwide), they were tepid on the overall direction of the DCEU. In response, Warner Bros. is moving slowly and cautiously rather than trying to line … Continue reading ‘Flash’ Movie and ‘Batgirl’ Likely to Be Part of Next DCEU Wave!!!

It’s official: Warner Bros. sees Justice League as a disappointment.
