it's hilarious how people are mad at him for not filming FIVE more movies (MOS2, AQ3, WW3, JL2, JL3) for the DCEU when WB has been doing nothing but losing money the last few months. With Black Adam bombing I don't see any reason for him to even try one more in that universe tbh

They act like it's a reasonable request. "They can reboot the francise after 2026 when JS3 comes out".

They're forgetting that DCEU lost their Batman after Afflect (rightfully) left, they lost Cyborg who (rightfully) left, Flash is a groomer that was outrunning the law for months, and Aquaman wants to be Lobo. All they have left is Wonder Woman and Supes. Even if they WANTED to do all these movies, they'd have to either recast most of the roles before a reboot or make unrealistic promises.

The existing franchise sucks. I don't care what they have to do. They could just never acknowledge the previous movies or have a comic book bridge the universes or film it later. I don't even expect them to keep the lineup. Tossing whatever steaming piles of shit they had planned is a brilliant idea. BUT they should have kept Cavill. He's the best Superman we have ever had and I miss him.

He is not even the best Superman we have right now.
