a few pics and 1 trailer and the DC film universe is getting worse? I for one am gonna wait till the actual release for judgement and still hope that both BvS and suicide squad will deliver. And i like all ive seen so far even tho some things may not be what i expect/hope for...
Consider it from this perspective.
If everything you've seen continues to seem underwhelming and uninspiring, and if the pace at which information and long-range plans are being revealed seems just a little too brisk, and if the information and plans actually being revealed strikes you as...confusingly all over the place and very, very hurried, you might be justified in saying "Man, the DC film universe is going to hell in handbasket."
Personally, I find it revealing that the entire color palette of these films seems muted and greyed, in contrast to Marvel's far more vibrant look and feel across their films. Even Daredevil -- arguably Marvel's darkest and grimmest product to date -- is color timed more "blue" than "grey." The real irony here is that DC has always been accused of being the more cartoonish in its comic books, and Marvel was supposed to be the grim/gritty one. On the big screen, their roles appear reversed.
The sense I get is that DC recognized the massive success they had with the Batman trilogy, and, in an attempt to recreate it, have basically just gone full-formula or at least lifted all manner of elements out of the Batman franchise and dropped them into several other film franchises, without regard for whether it fits or works with the source material.
Now, all that aside, the films themselves may rock. Man of Steel was pretty awful, but BvS may be good, and Suicide Squad might be terrific. When it first was revealed in 1999 during pre-release hype periods that the X-Men would be wearing what later became their traditional film costumes, my first reaction was to dismiss the film as "Ugh. X-Men Motocross Racers." Then I ended up LOVING the first film. So, it's not as if first glimpses may mislead and obscure a really good film. But so far, what I've seen of the DC stuff just has this feel of "designed by a committee of suits who don't get it."
