The reasoning behind why Batman v Superman had such a controversial tone and place in the story might make sense for what DC was going for, but it failed to see why it would be so controversial in the first place. Batman v Superman was supposed to be the start of a grand cinematic universe for Warner Bros. and DC. Instead, it was released to scathing reviews and was divisive among audiences.
Despite it always intending to get lighter following the events of Batman v Superman, the reception to that film made WB even more reactionary. They over adjusted the tone until the DCEU was left with the mess that was the theatrical cut of Justice League. It left everything feeling mismatched despite being in the same universe. Different tones are important, of course, but a gradual ascent to a lighter tone would have worked wonders for the universe after Batman v Superman.
A Slower & More Hopeful DCEU Opening Could Have Been What Saved The Franchise It's been talked about endlessly for years, but there are two things the DCEU could have done earlier in the universe to help ensure it could have been saved. Rushing into Batman v Superman without giving the proper setup and then quickly moving into Justice League is one of those reasons.
