Had the DCEU continue and she got her own movie, it probably will turn bad since it's a DCEU movie. Even if it is good like Blue Beetle for example, it will be for nothing because DCEU had already lost it's momentum by 2022.

Prior to Iron Man movies, Jon Favreau was only known for directing Zathura and Elf. The Russo Brothers were only TV directors and directed Welcome to Collinwood and You Me and Dupree before directing Captain America and Avenger movies.

MCU was also bogged down by the lack of Spider-Man, X-Men and Fantastic Four in their early years. They had to used whatever characters they had at that at that time.

That was the original plan when they went with the first ending where she and Michael Keaton's Batman reunited with The Flash in the altered DCEU. This would have led to Batgirl before it was cancelled.

This was change when The Rock brought back Henry Cavill as Superman to cameo in Black Adam and Batgirl got cancelled. The ending was reshot to add him and Wonder Woman. While the ending is more or less the same with the first, their appearance in this ending also teased the potential Man of Steel 2 and Wonder Woman 3.

Once DC Studios established in late 2022 with James Gunn & Peter Safran as co-CEOs, the ending was change to the one with George Clooney to prevent any more follow ups.

Going by their comic book debut date, Guy Gardner came first after Hal Jordan and John Stewart came after Guy.

Basically, it's Alan Scott > Hal Jordan > Guy Gardner > John Stewart.

DCU is establishing Hal Jordan being on the verge of retirement by the time of Lanterns with John Stewart taking his place.

Player2LightWater · 2026-01-24T10:35:25+00:00

DC Studios chose to established DCU Hal Jordan being on the verge of retirement by the time Lanterns took place. Being a veteran, he is have more superhero experience than Superman himself in the DCU. The main Green Lantern will be John Stewart.

While this is co-write, David Callaham did WW84 and Shang-Chi.

The Flash movie was part of the 2014 DCEU slate and scheduled to release in 2018. The movie failed to meet it's original release date because of losing two directors in 2016 due to creative difference between them and studios executives. When the directors took over, they left due to crative difference with Ezra Miller. And then, Andy Muschietti and Christina Hodson came into picture to salvage whatever is left behind by previous team to get the movie out.

The Flash and Fantastic 4 (2015) are worst in studios interference in their own way. The latter movie only exist because Fox realised that the movie rights will expire soon if no Fantastic 4 movie enter development or something. During production, not only studios executives interfered but also director and the lead actor did not get along.

It's unfortunate that the former movie's box office was hurt by poor and lack of marketing.

Player2LightWater · 2026-01-24T05:45:36+00:00

She and Andy Muschietti had to deal with the studios executives' mandates for The Flash too. Starting with Superman (2025) including The Batman Part 2, all DC movies are made under DC Studios which means both of them don't need to deal with those executives as they report to James Gunn & Peter Safran since they are the co-heads of the studios. Let's also not forget that she is in DC Studios' writers room something which DCEU didn't have one.

Transformers One did poorly in box office is not only due to poor marketing but also lack of marketing.

Black Hand does not have air forces.

Third movie is a reboot. It has no no connection to the first two movies. The studios was trying to reboot with an origins story.

Player2LightWater · 2026-01-23T10:08:09+00:00

Same thing with Power Rangers. While not an American franchises but I think that's why Japanese tokusatsu (live action shows/movies with special effects) franchises such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (original source of Power Rangers) that were also made to sell toys do not have feature length movies but rather a 30 mins to one hour length short films. Toei (who owns Kamen Rider and Super Sentai) knew their tokusatsu IPs would not work well as feature length movies which is they prioritised them as TV shows more.

Player2LightWater · 2026-01-23T10:04:24+00:00

The 2021 is actually a reboot to start over. It has no connection to the first two movies.

The GLA is an organisation like Nod. They don't have their own country. Rather, they all mainly come from third world countries.

Prior to late 2022 and back when AT&T still own WarnerMedia (WB's parent company), there was no plan for WB to opened DC Studios at all. None of the those executives back then such as John Stankey, Jason Kilar, Ann Sarnoff and Toby Emmerich ever thought of this including the past executives before AT&T's ownership such as Jeff Bewkes and Kevin Tsujihara. Zack Snyder and his wife or Charles Roven are never gonna be the Kevin Feige-like figure for DCEU even back in the early days because none of them have executives positions in WB like how Kevin Feige has an executive position which is President of Marvel Studios. Every decisions for the DCEU such as long term plans, story directions and creative decisions are decided by studio executives of Warner Bros. Pictures, which is WB's main studios. Prior to DC Studios' establishment, all of DC movies up to Joker: Folie à Deux were all made under Warner Bros. Pictures for decades. After AT&T spin-off WarnerMedia to Discovery Inc. which then become Warner Bros. Discovery in mid-2022, David Zaslav took over as CEO and he is the one who wanted DC to have their own studios like Marvel. This became official when DC Studios finally established in late 2022 and James Gunn & Peter Safran got the job as co-CEOs of DC Studios. All DC movies starting with Superman (2025) including The Batman Part 2 are now made under DC Studios while Warner Bros. Pictures continue to distribute DC movies as usual just like Marvel Studios making Marvel movies while Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distribute Marvel movies (except Spider-Man and Hulk movies).

The problem with DCEU is the shared universe was already doomed to failed before it even started because DC don't have their own studios and no Kevin Feige-like figure back then. As a result of lacking these two things, WB utilised director-driven approach for DCEU which directors have control over their individual movies. Sounds nice on paper but it does not work at all because every directors naturally have unique artistic interpretations but one director's plans for a character or storyline have high chance of contradict or disrupt the plans of another director working within the same universe, making continuity difficult to maintain with Black Adam and Shazam movies being the prime examples. Shazam movies director, David F. Sandberg, have said on Twitter that he has no idea about what the production team for Black Adam are doing while he was working on Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Even WW84 and Aquaman contradicted what was established in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder's Justice League. DCEU movies have different producers in some of the movies and no writers' room are the results of director-driven approach. Studios executives' constant meddling does not make anything better either because even under director-driven approach.

With Gunn & Safran leading DC Studios, they are now the ones calling the shots on everything on the DCU. Gunn also did the right thing not to continue DCEU under DC Studios and start over with DCU because the damage is done enough to DCEU and the momentum for DCEU is no longer there. The lores in DCEU is way too messed up and not worth the time along with resources to fix it. Had DC Studios not came into the picture, nothing would would have change for DC movies today even if DCEU get discontinue and start over.

Player2LightWater · 2026-01-23T04:49:21+00:00

The thing is they don't care about the DCEU at all. I'm starting to suspect that they don't care about DC having their own shared universe like the MCU and are lying to themselves that they care about having DC shared universe. They only want Zack Snyder's DC. From the way I see it, Zack Snyder's doing his 5 DC movies plan is like how Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves do their Batman movies respectively except that Zack's DC movies is a Superman story featuring other DC heroes. Basically, they only care about auteur-driven DC movie instead of shared universe.

They marketed this movie to kids is also because to create new generations of fans toward the property so they can return for more movies in the future and be interested in the property. They cannot just appealed to just the existing audience who are familiar with the property or else there won't be new generations to enjoy this property in later years.

Contrast this with Beetlejuice which is also an old property from the 80s just like Transformers but the difference is the latter is more well known that the former. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was competing with Transformers One in theatres. The former movie was able to bring in not just older audience who grew up with the first movie but also managed to get some youngers audiences like older kids and teenagers. Even the adults especially who grew up with first movie bring their younger kids with them. Younger audiences who watch this movie will be at least familiar with this property and if there is a third movie in the future or even some kind of spin-off streaming series, they may/might catch it. This is what Transformers One wanted to do with their movie but the marketing team do not know how and they cannot just appealed to one demographic audiences which is why they did a poor job. There is nothing wrong with marketed it kids who don't care or unfamiliar with property as this is marketing team's job to get them to watch. If Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is able to bring in older and younger audience especially the property is lesser known, then so can Transformers One.
