This DCEU is still a sinking ship
I wouldn't call it that just yet. After three films, the DCEU has taken in around $2.3 billion worldwide. The MCU made half that with their first three films. And that's with all three DCEU films being "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes and all three MCU films being "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes.
If Wonder Woman is a box office success this summer, no matter the reviews, then the DCEU is here to stay.

Exactly. This board just loves to overreact. I didn't like SS, but that movie made $750 million at the box office. It's simply ridiculous to call it a sinking ship.

Those 3 films also had Superman, Batman, and the Joker, the two biggest superheroes and villain. No one knew much about Marvel's characters before they debuted or what their grand plan was.
I was having a hard time seeing how the Avengers could actually work until 2012 when it came out. Both MoS and BvS were box office disappointments. It's sinking.

BvS was supposed to make close to 1.5 billion dollars. It barely got past 900 million. It was a dud because word of mouth destroyed its chances at a billion.

Context is important. That was when the superhero genre of films was just getting started and people were starting to tune in.
MCU's last three films made 2.4 billion and two of them was with fricking Doctor Strange and Ant Man.

Word of mouth about how bad DCEU movies has been is damaging their earning potential and it will continue.
People want good superhero movies that honor the characters well, not the mindless bullshite that Snyder loves.
