I should have qualified, a movie that isn’t a dedicated Batman film.

They have such great source material, but they just don’t know how to generally make a movie.

B v S was just a mess on every level.

You honestly better off watching the animated Batman: The Dark Night Returns part 1 & 2 on Netflix than the mess they put on the screen in B v S.

The Luther character served no purpose and was un-needed, the natural personality differences between Superman and Batman are more than enough to drive them to conflict... don’t need some babbling antagonist who’s behavior and plot device make no sense whatsoever to manipulate them into the inevitable conflict.

The DOOMSDAY storyline, was just wedged in for no reason as well other than to have a bunch of CGI and force the death of superman storyline in when it really didn’t need to be.

DC has destroyed Superman in the latest set of movies, they just can’t seem to realize they have great source material they don’t need to try to pander with it.

Much like the Man of Steel, you would be better served watching the 1978 superman again, even with its corny time travel ending, over the slop they put up trying to make Supe’s dark and brooding and afraid to be who he is.

DC/WB just can’t seem to make a damn movie that isn’t a dedicated batman film, and even then its a hit and miss.

BvsS didn’t bother me. Sometime in the 90’s DC decided to be more Marvel than Marvel. I personally wish they would return to their Bronze Age house style, but that will never happen.

DC unlike Marvel does not have it’s own production company. Warner’s controls all the production and it is just product to them.

I will say that DC is doing quite well on the small screen with:

Arrow
Flash
Legends of Tomorrow
Supergirl
Gotham
Izombie
Lucifer

And the following has been ordered:

Preacher
Powerless
Scalped

In their animated division, they still producing an original animated movie every 3 months and show like Teen Titans Go!
