Is it just me, or has the DC Universe movies been an overall mess, and rushed, when compared to the Marvel? They don't seem to be too good at playing catch up.
WB/DC and Sony are doing a bad job attempting to emulate what Marvel/Disney has almost perfected. Did you see ASM 2? It was like Sony didn't learn their lesson during Spiderman 3: too many villains will actually ruin a movie, especially if a fan favorite (in ASM 2's case, the Green Goblin) is handled poorly.
It almost seems like because Marvel, & to a lesser extent Fox, have these "mega"-franchises that DC/WB are going to build their own too - story be damned. They'll still make a bunch of money on anything with Superman/Batman in it, just don't expect them to be good movies like the Nolan Bat flicks.
I would LOVE to see Nolan's take on the Dark Knight Returns. Hell, it would probably be the best "comic book" movie ever made. But, they've given the plot to Snyder who's turning it into a Justice League prequel instead.
I, for one, am not too optimistic.
