'Justice League' should've been a much bigger deal than the 'Avengers', but with no proper buildup of individual characters and then the heroes becoming a team it was a rushed mess of intros. The debut of DC's Trinity of Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman instead of being a fanboy's wet dream was instead a limp and impotent nightmare of disappointment. 'Batman v Superman: Yawn of Injustice' also was spat on by including a 'fight' as defecated onto the comic page by Frank Miller. We don't need a director's vision; all we need is for him or her to keep their sights on what's already predetermined and spelled out. Just bring the damn comic to life, don't give birth to an unrecognizable and deformed character.
Why do DC Moron not made Wonderwoman movie with classic suit Linda Carter and had so much trouble with her suit, while Marvel had no problem with Psylocke whose suit comic acurate last time live action movie ?
That a total mystery, because the blueprint has already been written in the animated movies. All they had to do is make it live action! What’s so hard about this??
Correction. These DC films flopped for interesting/obvious reasons, and people were begging for WB and D.C. to restart the universe after failing to capitalise on the MCU.
@@deancafe4739 The thing is Carol Danvers was a supporting character in Marvel comics for ages but she was not the first even Marvel Captain Marvel. I"m not going to go into a major expansive history lesson but the original Captain Marvel came from Fawcett Comics in 1940 with Billy Batson now know more as Shazam. Thanks to legal actions DC took they were able to wind up suing Fawcett over aspects of Captain Marvel being too much like Superman which wound up getting them taken down and the Captain Marvel name for a while being available to use. Marvel wanted their own Captain Marvel character so created one in 1967 Marv-Vell who wound up not really popular and dying like a decade later. The thing is due to Captain Marvel only being a trademark Marvel could keep if they had a Captain marvel in some form kept giving that tagline to various other people over the years (including Monica Rambau) before it eventually fell to Carol who was more known as Miss Marvel/Binary before her Captain Marvel rebrand in 2012. So yeah the yeah the Avengers movie came out is the year she was officially Captain Marvel but was more popular then other Captain Marvels thus a big reason she wound getting her own movie in 2019.
Justice League movie failed... expected... in animation... Justice League was a group of heroes working together...each have their own useful roles... in the movie... superman was the only invincible man... others were just supporters...
@@John-ri3be "superman was the only invincible man" That's actually a larger problem not just for the DCEU but honestly a lot of DC adapations that really don't understand the characters or the DC World. The thing is that yes Superman IS obviously insanely powerful able to pull off phenomenal feats and hell if you actually READ the comics it's even more absurd then a lot of what even the movies and shows pull. But the thing is Superman isn't in say a Dragon Ball esque verse where he's always constantly the top dog hero at all times and finds a way of training to overpower every major arch villain; The other main members of the Justice League are SUPPOSED TO BE THAT SAME LEVEL! LIke Aquaman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern in their own way are at that same absurd level of strength and power and can keep up with the man of steel. And thanks to his genius and gadgets and tech so can Batman. And the reason that's interesting is because a lot of the big major villains are also on and stay at that level so there is an actual CHALLENGE in defeating them and conflict when they clash. Like for whatever reason a lot of adapations either weaken Superman or just have the others just feel less powerful and have to do something else when like no they are ALL supposed to be around that level of power. I know Superman is like one of the most well known super heroes and beings in fiction but he wouldn't have lasted so many years in pop culture if he wasn't challenged in some way so ignoring others cause they're "lesser known" even though they're supposed to be at his level is silly.
Bottom line is that the WB hired people who don't know the source material and people who are not fans. Here's is the obvious thing they had writers who knew these characters from the animated movies and TV shows that they could have used
"Superhero fatigue" is bullshit. The problem is they've been trying to churn them out so fast that they've neglected the process of crafting a decent story first. In DC's case, the DCEU also suffered from severe mismanagement and a constant changing of the guard. They couldn't agree on a direction and were too focused on beating Marvel at their own game rather than putting in the work to craft a world that could truly rival it.
Flash, Blue Beetle, Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, Shazam! Fury of the Gods were all lame duck films knowing that James Gunn and Peter Saffron were going to start over.
DC Failed because it tried to play catch up with Marvel Studios minus a Plan, Kevin Feige who built the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a cave- out of scraps, & Robert Downey Jr..
@@gmant478The Rock refused to do that as he saw Shazam as a joke and only Superman was Black Adam's equal. It was Johnston's ego that stopped it happening.
@@dhenderson1810Black Adam is necessary for the character development of Shazam, if you've watched "Superman/Shazam: The Return Of Black Adam" Movie you would notice that
They should've went with another person to play Black Adam instead of Dwyane Johnson and that Justice League film would've actually did better if they let Zach Snyder finish it.
The DC movie I've seen the most times is Catwoman. Because Halle Berry is very pretty and is all over the screen. People keep telling me it's a bad movie, and I just keep thinking "Halle Berry is really very pretty" and go on with not caring about the plot.
I like Shazam and Aquaman but didn't like their sequels so i checked out. The animated series are better and i was wondering why the writers of DCAU weren't hired to do live-action in the first place.
The biggest reason for the failure of Green Lantern was because Martin Campbell only wanted Bradley Cooper for the lead role. When he got Ryan Reynolds, minimal effort was put in to do the film. And, as Reynolds put it, when problems arose, instead of sitting down and thinking things through, scenes were shot and reshot.
Maybe these movies failed cause they spending so much stupid money. Its not realistic to need 700mill just to break even every movie🤔 who the hell is managing the money.
Flash- people wanted Grant Gustin. Blue Beatle- Covid movie and you can tell it was shot in a studio. DC issues are they are trying to cash in on marvel success. All the movies released had continuity issues and to much switching around. The hire of James Gunn is going to help bring them up
I’m confused 🤔 When you say a film cost $230M to make and only brought in $350M, how is that a loss for them? Can someone explain??? Is it marketing we’re factoring in or it just didn’t hit the benchmark the studio was predicting?
The marketing often costs more than the film. So, if a film cost $230M, they probably spent around $500M. Which means, if it only brought $350M, they lost $150M.
Marketing and also the theater takes a cut of the box office - and the investors who funded the movies production get a cut of the box office...whats left over (if anything is left over) goes to the studio
I don't understand how you make a moderately successful Shazam movie, but then you make a movie about his main arch-nemesis and NOT have Shazam in the movie?! It's not like the Joker where you have an established, well-known villain, so having him star in his own movie sans Batman is not so much of a stretch. Who greenlights these things?
Two words. Dwayne Johnson. One of Johnston's demands was that his version fights Superman rather than Shazam. Which is why they brought back Henry Cavill in the post credit scene. Johnston's ego was that Shazam was a joke and Black Adam is so powerful, only Superman can match him. So it is all Johnson and WB kowtowing to him, instead of reigning him in.
I do not understand the hate with the gl suit. It was a good idea. It's an all powerful ring that protects him. It makes sense for the ring to make a suit around him. His will powered it which was also shown on the suit. Open your mind people.
Even though Man of Steel came out first the Arrowverse was hot at the start of the DCU keeping everything separate was a mistake and trashing the Arrowverse at every chance put off Arrowverse fans + the Animated films were better written , Directed and acted.
have you ever watched any animated movies which last for 2 hours...? And why the movies could easily lasted for 2 hours...? Answer is: too much drama... less actions... especially that all the batman movies...
Jonah Hex's problem was that he was just a ex-Confederate bounty hunter who had no supernatural powers. The problem with most adaptations is when the movie producers want to have their version of the characters and the fans want to see the versions of the characters in the source material.
The last movies of DCEU flopped soley due to stupid decision of gunn to not only announce the reboot and new DC movies slates before conclusion of DCEU movies but also due to exclusion of Popular Actors like Cavil from DC future without proper sendoff
Fact is, they tried too hard to follow MCU (interconnected universe). The most successful DC properties during this time was "The Dark Knight" trilogy, "Joker" and "The Batman" which were standalone films, which no connection to anything else.
Dwayne Johnson was the most famous/richest actor when Black Adam got green lit, with that kind of power why shouldn't he use it. Also DC owns Black Adam not Dwayne Johnson, they should have recasted him if they had a problem.
He’s arguably the worst actor ever. He needs to stop getting up at 4am to train and actually do acting classes and see if that helps him. He’s the same way on all his films and he’s dead behind the eyes.
@@IM125 first of all shut up about Dwayne Johnson's acting ability. He works in Hollywood, you don't! Second John Cena is the same in all his films but nobody complains. Why is it a problem for Dwayne Johnson to do? And if you actually watched all of his films instead of 4 or 5 you would know he's not the same character like you people suggest. There's no way you compare his role as Joe Kingman to his role as Luke Hobbs or his role in Race to Witch Mountain to his role in Tooth Fairy.
Black Adam was as "comicbooky" as a comic book movie can get. Crazy powers, big special effect, superheroes doing superhero shit. I don't know how you can say you are a fan of superhero movies and not like it.
1:55 Gunn stated that Blue Beetle, Amanda Waller , Pacemaker and his gang are only DCEU characters to enter DCU as Pacemaker S1 is not canon to DCU and Blue Beetle is totally seperate from DCEU , director even made sure it can be part of any dc cinematic universe
1. Shazam Fury of The Gods 2. The Flash I Absolutely loved these Superhero movies the only reason why these awesome movies didn't make that much money was the movies kept getting delayed it's Warner Brothers fault why these movies didn't make money
I guess James Gunn statement have nothing to do with it , telling people all movies left in the schedule were pointless to watch because a reboot was coming, James Gunn comments change my decision to go to theaters and watch black Adam, Shazam 2, the flash and Aquaman, it was pointless to waste my money knowing stories were not going to continue, firing Henry cavill just to replace him with a look alike, I hope superman legacy flops, by the way the movies I mentioned I watched them on HBO Max/max which is included in my cable package.
Failed to acknowledge The Suicide Squad (2021) which was a critical success but was r rated and was also released both theatrically and on streaming during the Covid era!
In og ending the Bruce who is not George Clooney is Offscreen stepping out of car and after Barry asks "who the **** is that ? ". The screen turns to black and also Supergirl and Keaton Batman are alive in the end, there were scenes with superman foreshadowing Man of Steel 2 and incredibly the stupid should-have been-deleted baby scene was supposed to be a Volcano eruption This film could literally have been better if they used Keaton as Thomas Wayne Batman and FREAKING REVERSE-FLASH instead of Dark Flash dude is literal archenemy responsible for his mother 's death And even copied Barry 's face in comics This is insult to Flashpoint Paradox
lol I didn’t understand the premise of this video tho, there will be top movies and bottom movies; if they could all be top grossing in dollars that would be unrealistic.
A movie is as only as good as the script that written. If thats Good and you have the right actor/actresses in it and the director who understands what the fans want it should be a hit .but if thay change the script in mid production its going to end up a mess or dont get the casting right and there chemistry between the cast members the fans can see it on the screen and it offects the flow of the movie
Yeah the girl who was in the movie for all of like 10 mins is why it flopped… imagine being that brain dead and delusional. Only losers didn’t go see the movie just cause of her. No that many people care about junkie depp
Marvel is the only company that has had success with a cinematic universe. Maybe the exception of Episodes 4,5 and 6 of Star Wars when there was no term "cinematic universe" and then Disney promptly destroyed it. But DC has missed the mark nearly every time and now I think the superhero genre is fading. The best - Iron Man franchise and The Avengers. IMO
DC was blessed with crappy actors and even crappier writers and directors. The only exception was Ben Affleck but he lost it after BvS and was just phoning it in afterwards.
I believe how this movies failed. Really bad movies. Really. Script,studio meddling and so on. Catwomen is not that bad. 5,6 grade. Batman and Robin also has good moments. I like it. Great list of movies
The Pebble is done! After trying to make money of the Maui Fires in Lahina for himself and Oprah. We dont even want him here! Dwanye is a coconut! He doesnt act. He is the same person in every movie. And people got tired of it. 😂😂😂😂
I recently heard reports that box office projections for Joker: Folie à Deux is predicted to flop due to lack of excitement, negative critical reception, and mixed word of mouth from audience. 🤡RIP Joker 2🤡
I think even a comic book fan would make better movies than what we got all they had to do was just follow the comics and stop trying to change how the DC comics was set up Warner brother's themselves should of known this would happen just hire the DCAU writers I just don't see how u would fail with some the most populated superheroes of all time
Film viewing and enjoying is a subjective art. I thoroughly enjoyed Black Adam, Blue Beetle, and The Flash. Black Adam was a very fun and entertaining film, Blue Beetle was a solid job on an obscure ask. As far as The Flash goes I understand what Ezra Miller did to kill that film before it had it's first preview. If you're capable from separating the actor from the character to enjoy f'n story and the other actors then you'd find that its actually a pretty good film.
Just wondering where all this money is spent? I mean averaging 200m per movie with such shirty cgi and lame stories, wonder who is getting the fat paycheck.
JL,BvS,BA and a couple others were not great, but at least watchable. The problem was the stories were flawed. Black Adam had the Justice Society backing a dictatorship and fighting BA when he tried to fight for the people. Not a good look. Hawkman and DR Fate were good but Giant Boy and Twister were forgettable.
There is nothing wrong with some of the last movies of DC such as Blue Beetle, Aquaman 2, or even The Flash. The problem was that suddenly they announced the franchise REBOT so the fans lost interest and in the end, it didn't matter
Those movies would’ve flopped at the box office even if they weren’t rebooting the DCEU. Keep in mind that Shazam, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, The Suicide Squad, and Black Adam all underperformed financially. And those films all came out before the reboot was announced.
@@TheVladMan. I'm not talking about those movies because I know they were bad, especially WW84 I had too much anticipation but it was too bad based on the story & screenplay. The Rotten Tomato score & critic review of the last movie I mentioned had much better reviews than any Marvel mediocre review (but they did well at the box office because of the connected franchise).
I may be an idiot, but having seen some of these movies, the plots were just bad. The character motivations were terrible and the character motivations were barely there. Shazam's sequel, by the way, was not about marketing. It was awful because the script was - awful. Wonder Woman (first film) was predictable and functional. That's it. We had decent character development but not great. The final act was painful as it came out of nowhere. The sequel was just plain AWFUL. I couldn't get through it. Doesn't anyone care about writing anymore? Doesn't anyone know how to write a character that I care about? My humble opinion. Start with the story and characters. Make me care about the main character. Give the character internal motivation - not external. Go from there. Just my opinion. Please no flame wars.
Which of these movies do you think deserves a second look?

@@IM125 first of all shut up about Dwayne Johnson's acting ability. He works in Hollywood, you don't! Second John Cena is the same in all his films but nobody complains. Why is it a problem for Dwayne Johnson to do? And if you actually watched all of his films instead of 4 or 5 you would know he's not the same character like you people suggest. There's no way you compare his role as Joe Kingman to his role as Luke Hobbs or his role in Race to Witch Mountain to his role in Tooth Fairy.
@@RomaroBrandon lol you must be fun.
Because they sucked. There’s no mystery here.
Black Adam was as "comicbooky" as a comic book movie can get. Crazy powers, big special effect, superheroes doing superhero shit. I don't know how you can say you are a fan of superhero movies and not like it.
Agreed, I think people were overly critical, the movie had some peaks and valleys, but definitely not as bad as people pretend it was.
When Market have Too many Superheroes now become boring
I wonder if Ryan Reynolds trashed Green Lantern because it tanked at the box office and not for any other reasons.
Maybe The Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic could have saved these films since they have the power to make and break movies. I haven't forgotten Looper
Nah they’re trash.
1:55 Gunn stated that Blue Beetle, Amanda Waller , Pacemaker and his gang are only DCEU characters to enter DCU as Pacemaker S1 is not canon to DCU and Blue Beetle is totally seperate from DCEU , director even made sure it can be part of any dc cinematic universe
Gunn is a lying hack
Superheroes aren't cheap. Neither are their movies.
I liked Jonah Hex but I can see why it didn't make it big in theaters.
1. Shazam Fury of The Gods
2. The Flash
I Absolutely loved these Superhero movies the only reason why these awesome movies didn't make that much money was the movies kept getting delayed it's Warner Brothers fault why these movies didn't make money
I guess James Gunn statement have nothing to do with it , telling people all movies left in the schedule were pointless to watch because a reboot was coming, James Gunn comments change my decision to go to theaters and watch black Adam, Shazam 2, the flash and Aquaman, it was pointless to waste my money knowing stories were not going to continue, firing Henry cavill just to replace him with a look alike, I hope superman legacy flops, by the way the movies I mentioned I watched them on HBO Max/max which is included in my cable package.
James Gunn first production, The Suicide Sqaud, was the biggest bomb and was not reconized here for some reason, lol
You forgot Amber Turd for Aquaman 2.
Most of this information (financial breakpoints to become profitable) are total horsecrap!
What A Shame We Didn't Get A Solid Green Lanterns Movie Id Love To Have Seen All Of The Various Lanterns Corps A Universe In It's Own
Blue Beetle would have done better if it weren’t for the strike
Failed to acknowledge The Suicide Squad (2021) which was a critical success but was r rated and was also released both theatrically and on streaming during the Covid era!
If DC truly cared, they'd lean into the Legion of Doom vs Justice League thing a la Christopher Nolan-esque sensibilities..
In og ending the Bruce who is not George Clooney is Offscreen stepping out of car and after Barry asks "who the **** is that ? ". The screen turns to black and also Supergirl and Keaton Batman are alive in the end, there were scenes with superman foreshadowing Man of Steel 2 and incredibly the stupid should-have been-deleted baby scene was supposed to be a Volcano eruption
This film could literally have been better if they used Keaton as Thomas Wayne Batman
and FREAKING REVERSE-FLASH instead of Dark Flash
dude is literal archenemy responsible for his mother 's death And even copied Barry 's face in comics
This is insult to Flashpoint Paradox
Dwen is the Hulk Hogan of Hollywood
black adam has a teen skateboarding sidekick ! huh ?
I loved batman and robin!!!! I watched it so many times as a kid
lol I didn’t understand the premise of this video tho, there will be top movies and bottom movies; if they could all be top grossing in dollars that would be unrealistic.
A movie is as only as good as the script that written. If thats Good and you have the right actor/actresses in it and the director who understands what the fans want it should be a hit .but if thay change the script in mid production its going to end up a mess or dont get the casting right and there chemistry between the cast members the fans can see it on the screen and it offects the flow of the movie
And another reason why Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom flopped is cause of the Amber Heard drama too, and she got blacklisted too!!!!
Yeah the girl who was in the movie for all of like 10 mins is why it flopped… imagine being that brain dead and delusional. Only losers didn’t go see the movie just cause of her. No that many people care about junkie depp
She's hardly in it.
Also, wasn't this just before Gunn took over, so people didn't see any point to seeing the film because of that.
Well trying to keep up with the Joneses will always be a hard task
Everytime i see a video on why these worst movies bombed or something i start to have seconds thoughts
Oh honey, superhero fatigue was NOT the reason Aquaman 2 failed. Be truthful now.
Marvel is the only company that has had success with a cinematic universe. Maybe the exception of Episodes 4,5 and 6 of Star Wars when there was no term "cinematic universe" and then Disney promptly destroyed it. But DC has missed the mark nearly every time and now I think the superhero genre is fading. The best - Iron Man franchise and The Avengers. IMO
DC was blessed with crappy actors and even crappier writers and directors. The only exception was Ben Affleck but he lost it after BvS and was just phoning it in afterwards.
Dc just destroyed it’s animated universe with new trilogy
Also anything filmed between 2018-2022 for DC wasn’t good that was the start of superhero fatigue then bad hiring of DJ then covid finally strikes
They weren’t good. Not difficult.
Superhero fatigue isn't a thing.
DC bombs with wrong answers to two questions: what is the purpose of this story and how do these characters relate to me?
I believe how this movies failed. Really bad movies. Really. Script,studio meddling and so on. Catwomen is not that bad. 5,6 grade. Batman and Robin also has good moments. I like it. Great list of movies
The Pebble is done! After trying to make money of the Maui Fires in Lahina for himself and Oprah. We dont even want him here!
Dwanye is a coconut! He doesnt act. He is the same person in every movie. And people got tired of it. 😂😂😂😂
you forgot Birds of Prey :)
Hey should have watched. Blue Beetle was very good.
Boring, mediocre, and messed up storytelling Universe franchise, dc comics.
George Clooney gave a refund to some fans😂
Personally I liked a lighthearted DCEU movie like Blue Beetles and Shazam series. Those and Peacemaker should stays
DCEU is the franchise that made many good casting choices and wasted all of them
Most were terrible casting choices.
Loads of issues but the long and the short of it these films suck. People would look past all the nonsense with Ezra etc if the films were good
My top 3 garbage DC movies are Bluebeetle3 Batman & Robin 2 Catwoman 1 and honorable mentions Flash.
I recently heard reports that box office projections for Joker: Folie à Deux is predicted to flop due to lack of excitement, negative critical reception, and mixed word of mouth from audience.
🤡RIP Joker 2🤡
I think even a comic book fan would make better movies than what we got all they had to do was just follow the comics and stop trying to change how the DC comics was set up Warner brother's themselves should of known this would happen just hire the DCAU writers I just don't see how u would fail with some the most populated superheroes of all time
Film viewing and enjoying is a subjective art. I thoroughly enjoyed Black Adam, Blue Beetle, and The Flash. Black Adam was a very fun and entertaining film, Blue Beetle was a solid job on an obscure ask. As far as The Flash goes I understand what Ezra Miller did to kill that film before it had it's first preview. If you're capable from separating the actor from the character to enjoy f'n story and the other actors then you'd find that its actually a pretty good film.
Just wondering where all this money is spent? I mean averaging 200m per movie with such shirty cgi and lame stories, wonder who is getting the fat paycheck.
JL,BvS,BA and a couple others were not great, but at least watchable. The problem was the stories were flawed.
Black Adam had the Justice Society backing a dictatorship and fighting BA when he tried to fight for the people. Not a good look. Hawkman and DR Fate were good but Giant Boy and Twister were forgettable.
Yeah, the Justice Society got no respect in that movie at all.
The rock didn’t hurt anything the movie was gonna suck without him
There is nothing wrong with some of the last movies of DC such as Blue Beetle, Aquaman 2, or even The Flash. The problem was that suddenly they announced the franchise REBOT so the fans lost interest and in the end, it didn't matter
They all suck
Those movies would’ve flopped at the box office even if they weren’t rebooting the DCEU. Keep in mind that Shazam, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, The Suicide Squad, and Black Adam all underperformed financially. And those films all came out before the reboot was announced.
Ezra miller caused the flash to flop flash is a pretty popular character
@@TheVladMan. I'm not talking about those movies because I know they were bad, especially WW84 I had too much anticipation but it was too bad based on the story & screenplay. The Rotten Tomato score & critic review of the last movie I mentioned had much better reviews than any Marvel mediocre review (but they did well at the box office because of the connected franchise).
@@WasiuGiwa-ul4hs Totally agree with you. Also, they should increase the screen time of Supergir.
I forgot Ezra miller was an actor also dc is dead to me
DC will always be with you
I may be an idiot, but having seen some of these movies, the plots were just bad. The character motivations were terrible and the character motivations were barely there.
Shazam's sequel, by the way, was not about marketing. It was awful because the script was - awful.
Wonder Woman (first film) was predictable and functional. That's it. We had decent character development but not great. The final act was painful as it came out of nowhere. The sequel was just plain AWFUL. I couldn't get through it. Doesn't anyone care about writing anymore? Doesn't anyone know how to write a character that I care about?
My humble opinion. Start with the story and characters. Make me care about the main character. Give the character internal motivation - not external. Go from there. Just my opinion. Please no flame wars.
