Exactly...
That's why Winter Soldier is still the best Marvel movie for me.

Well, @Minemrys has answered you already.

WB/DC should have continued with its dark and gritty take on Superheroes and left childishness to Disney/Marvel. DC/WB cannot sustain such as that is not who they are.
Their current take on childishness led to the disaster called Justice League.
The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, The Batman Trilogy, The Harry Potter movies, The Hobbit Trilogy, Game of Thrones, The Matrix trilogy, The Conjuring Universe are all dark movies that generated billions... And these are all big franchises under WB/TW/DC.

By now, the talk would have been :
1)If you want childish movies about superheroes, Marvel is the place.
2)If you want dark, gritty and real take on Superheroes, DC is the place. After all Titan series was a hit and rated alongside Daredevil S1 as the best comic series ever on TV.
And now there is Doom Patrol, also well received!

I disagree with you on this.

First of all, DC is still continuing with dark movies. However, as it stands now, most viewers and non-comic book fans prefer a lighter approach to most movies. Take a look at the likes of punisher and hulk movies. That were a total flop not because it was very bad but because the people going to watch these movies prefer something lighter.
That's why the like of venom and black widow were made pg13 movies instead of dark R rated movies.

DC knows that to continue with the franchise and make money from it, they have to change approach and make things a bit lighter. From wonder woman to Aquaman and now to Shazam.

This concept has worked in putting DC back in the fore front again unlike when nobody else apart from DC fans want to watch it movies.

We are in the era where you have to give fans what they want if you want to make money. And its best DC adjusts to this trend and do what's good for business.

Even Shazam producer confirmed that DC will still go back to being dark again but for now, you need to win people over and give them what they want.

DC has 3 straight wins in a row which is good.

The next movie is joker which is obviously dark, same for Harley quin before wonder woman comes in. The flash movie script was even cancelled because DC wants something dark, so saying DC is following marvel to make childish films is totally wrong.

As it stands now, DC has a better chance in breaking more records and expectations than they were 3 years ago.

The fault is on Snyder. His movies were dark and bad. Provided they were decent, probably a different story today.

I doubt that.
Man of Steel was lit.
BVS may have it's flaws, but it is still a wonderful piece of art.
It is no secret that Justice League was massacred by WB and Joss Whedon. Snyder's Justice League relied on the Dream Sequence which Batman saw as one of its focal point. Unfortunately, the movie veered away from his vision.
Finally, Zack Snyder served as Producer in both Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

I agree with some of your points and disagree with some too.
@bolded, that's because they finally listened and allowed Directors to do their thing, a luxury Zack was not afforded.
You are right though, DC is still doing their dark things lightheartedly.

You should. In fact you should thank DC for bringing about the superhero comic book genre...
That achievement is why we are here talking, else we could have been talking about star wars and barney comic books...
Lol. Who do you think was the first superhero? DC made the genre popular sure but they sure didn't bring it about. I'd even argue that Marvel is the reason the genre is still relevant today

lol. If that was so true why did Marvel sell it's A rated characters to stay relevant? The 1st superhero was Superman, bro. The 1st c0mic cross over was the JSA. Marvel/stan lee then had to take fr0m that success to usher in the F4 then the Avengers. You can argue that marvel made the cinematic universe relevant n0t the c0mics genre. Cos the stories DC were publish!ng sold alot m0re than marvel's. Use go0gle bro. Use it.
