The DCEU made a big mistake in their characterizations of Batman and Superman, and Wonder Woman paid the price. They could’ve ha a good thing going, but the constant creative turmoil, happening behind the camera got the DCEU stuck in the muck. The heroes are iconic for a reason, but overall, they never made the impact they deserved. There is hope on the horizon, though. James Gunn and Peter Safran, leading the charge for DC Studios, showcased their plans for the new DCU, including completely reframed approaches to Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The time of the Cavill, Affleck, and possibly even Gadot, is officially coming to an end.
Gunn’s DC Universe has a litany of mistakes from the DCEU it needs to fix. The franchise’s tactics in distinguishing it from their greatest competitor, the MCU, in aesthetic, tone, and character arcs were commendable. A lot did work, but, unfortunately, even more didn’t. The gritty take on the world and the characters didn’t always land and important stories were rushed and felt disjointed. With The Flash resetting the timeline, the new DC Universe can begin anew, learning from the successes, and more importantly, the failures of the previous regime.
