WB/DC leaving a lot of money on the table by rushing thru this for that marvel money while ignoring the basics of good movies first and possible even using the blue print layed out for them of build-up, build up, build-up.
Plan? What plan? Chase the Nolan films without Nolan? WB never thought to themselves that the Nolan Batman was lightning in a bottle done 3 times in the form of Nolan. Nolan managed to elevate a comic book movie into a "Real" movie. Even Nolan couldn't keep that level going and he went out on top.
The only thing they took away even then incorrectly from it was the idea Nolan had with its more realistic take on Batman. What they did take was grim, gritty and dark, like really dark from poor lighting. Nolan even gave them an perfect sequel hook for them to use but not one to start a DCU universe.
Forget about having a good story. Stakes that don't involve destroying the world. Pillars of light. Destruction on such a large scale that people stop caring. Characters you might like or laugh with. Absurd contrivances so bad they should be plot holes. A villain that isn't eating glue.
WB bares the primary reasons for this mess. They choose who to go with to make DCU movies, they set the overall tone. They got what they asked for repeatedly and is more than a Snyder problem given the other properties.
Snyder is the most direct point of blame. Back to Nolan for moment I have found his best describe as "Michael Bay trying to be Nolan" with his super hero movies. He desperately wants to be Nolan but he just can't let go of his personal style and he sure can't remotely emulate anyone else's.
DC can and has shown it can be good in the TV shows, but when they DCU everything they utterly fail with that awful Flashpoint ****. Which is sort of opposite to Marvel where they managed about 2 good shows.
Rotten Tomatoes is toxic. I've been debating this thought with myself for sometime but after watching Justice League I can safely say that the influence of the RT outreaches its usefulness. This movie was straight up dope. It's even too short for it's own good and needs to be 20 minutes longer. I'm not saying this because I disagree with the conscience of RT but because it tens to discourage people from using their own opinions in place of a vocal minority. Citizen Kane this movie is not but the reviews would have you think I just walked out of a of a black and white subtitled version Night Trap. The hive mind controls all. Plus RT gave Iron Man 3 a 79% which should have the site investigated by the Better Business Bureau and charges filled by the State Department for fraud in practice.

I have terrible taste in movies. I very much enjoyed Prince of Persia, John Carter, Clash of the Titans(remake).
Yes.
Rotten Tomato is terrible as it's statistical foundations is absurd that produce equally absurd results. It doesn't help everything is graded on an equally absurd curve they promotes score inflation where you can see broken shows get an A score.
Metacritic has the same issue that you are dealing with humanity but they cushion that with better statistical frame work and presentation of the data.
You also have terrible taste in movies.
