interesting how the spin about cavill seems to be he tried but the dcu wasn’t all that good. Fans aren’t outraged he’s gone (I think most bond fans would be the same about Craig at this point)bjmdds wrote:Mark Hughes: Batman v Superman, which met with overwhelmingly negative critical reception, constant media coverage of that negative reception, less enthusiastic audience scores relative to past Batman-featuring films (and even Man of Steel), an underperformance of $873 million, and widespread complaints that Superman seemed too dour and was bogged down in perpetually questioning his mission and even the worthiness of humanity at times. The terrible results for Batman v Superman of course led to widespread changes in Warner's approach to the DCEU, and a last-minute rush to make adjustments for Justice League. We all know how that turned out, of course. Taking about $658 million worldwide, Justice League was an undeniable failure. I won't call it a true "flop," since it made enough to qualify as a blockbuster; but it failed because it didn't recoup its costs, it was the lowest-grossing film of the entire DCEU to date, it was a critical failure, and it once again received mixed audience scores.
Cavill could have made interesting Superman movies if WB was not obsessed with the avengers. But even man of steel had problems mainly Zack Snyder, the man chosen to envision Christopher Nolan’s vision for Superman with the sensibilities of Batman begins, Snyder’s vision was off the real character, Lois Lane really was miscast and the overall theme was out of focus, still I enjoyed it but this mistake polluted four movies with wonder woman distancing itself and succeeding.
