The big problem is that DC is following the wrong parts of Marvel's model. The Marvel movies hit a good note at the right time. They were really fun. A bit campy, over the top. And in the current era, moviegoers are in for that kind of thing. Guardians of the Galaxy, a C-List property, is now MASSIVE, because Marvel let it be silly awesome fun.<br/><br/>DC wants to steal the connected universe, but keep a lot of the tone, color, and cinematography of the Nolan Movies, which were much grimmer and grittier. The issue is, I don't think thats going to be nearly as successful.<br/><br/>It is especially odd, because DC and Marvel are the opposites in comic. Marvel has for a long time been the darker, grimmer world, with a lot more political allegory. DC has been fun, and uplifting. This isn't 100% of the time, just general trends, but still weird.
