So a film that made $900 million worldwide is a dud now?
Actually I just checked and it didn't even make 900 million. It stopped at 868 million.
Warner Bros was shooting to make well over a 1.2 billion dollars with it as they poured in close to 500 million in total budget expenses. It had to make well over 925 million at the box office to cover the budget. They failed and Warner Bros lost money on BvS.
BvS was a fricking failure.

The superhero genre had been going strong at the box office since X-Men debuted in the summer of 2000. It was the draw of superhero films that made Marvel decide to take the plunge and develop an inter-connected universe. That never happens without the success of the X-Men and Spider-Man franchises.
X-Men and Spider Man were only a few films spread out over almost a decade. Sure the superhero genre was simmering with some success but it really took off with MCU's Iron Man.

Only if the movies continue critically disappoint. Hopefully Warner Bros. has learned their lesson and the next two films are better received.
Zack Snyder is a dog that you can't teach any more tricks to and I honestly have no idea why you think that dog can change his spots and make/direct/produce movies that are anything close to what the MCU has in quality, story telling and visual aspects.
DCEU isn't going to get any better until that fat hack is gone.

A disappointment? Yeah. A failure? Hell no. It's unexpectedly high Blu-ray sales really helped its final tally.

Spider-Man was the first film in box office history to make over $100 million in its opening weekend. And Iron Man was completely overshadowed by the release of The Dark Knight that same year. If there is any superhero film that cemented the genre's staying power, it was The Dark Knight.

On this we agree.
