DC needs to save something for Phase 2

True, they will most likely get their own movie. Before Aquaman does.

Gleek the Space Monkey will probably have his own movie before Aquaman.

Oh, that looks A LOT more fun than the first two movies so far!  O0 :smitten:
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

If they could make a live action version of Justice League: War or better yet, Justice League: Operation Flashpoint, their movies would improve exponentially.

The storylines are SO much better in the DC animated films; I don't get why they produce crap in live-action films but gems in the animated series. They should be hiring the animated series writers to try a script or twelve.

The live-action TV shows tend to be pretty good too, like Arrow.

But yeah, Marvel owns the theaters, and DC owns the small screen

Arrow's writing flops wildly between decent on occasion to dreadful -- Flash and Supergirl are somewhat better -- and I largely swore off Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 after sitting through the whole first season. But even Arrow is usually more fun than the DCCU movies so far.

...you realize they are in fact kind of trying to do both those things, right?

Generally agree, although the quality varies for the animated films (most of which I own).

After watching that trailer, it looks like DC is removing the large stick from their rear orifice and trying to allow more humor into their movies.  Didn't really having any good laughs over what I just watched in the trailer, but it I didn't feel like committing Hara-kiri after watching it either.

Awesome.
Can't wait for the JL films to come out.

And the subsequent nerd rage over them.  ;D

As 1 of the 4 people on Earth who actually enjoyed BvS, I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
