What WB/DC should do to compete against Disney/Marvel's MCU?
IMO DC should focus more on making stand alone movies rather than making a cinematic universe. I mean there's a ****ton of great comics DC has put out since their conception, like Moore's "The Killing Joke" & "Swamp Thing", Morrison's "All Star Superman" & "Animal Man", Ellis' "Planetary" & "Transmetropolitan", Gaiman's "Sandman" and many other more or take some award winning Vertigo series and make a trilogy or something from those stories (example, the movie versions of "Road to Perdition", "V for Vendetta" and "A History of Violence" garnered praise from fans and critics alike and won awards, "A History of Violence" even competed in the Cannes for Palme d'Or award)
DC also should fire Snyder and replace him with Joss Whedon or IMO hire these following director/s:
Alfonso Cuarón
David Cronenberg
Wachowski Bros
Christopher Nolan
Olivier Megaton
DC is too focused in catching up with Marvel and IMO that's their biggest mistake so far.

Make nothing but high-quality low-budget animated films for the next ten years and then try to eke out some high-quality live action films starting with Batman and then Superman stuff.

I honestly don't think most DC superheroes translate well, to the movies.
Superman worked for children back in the '70s, a more innocent time and one without the amplified drama and action that movies now offer. The core character is bland and you can't "gray him up" without basically invalidating the meaning of Superman.
Batman works best solo, in the dark and brooding way that Nolan did it, or maybe as a background character ... but it's ridiculous him being in the company of Superman or WW.
Green Lantern could work as a fantasy sort of story. Lots of potential, I think the original Ryan Reynolds movie had much of the tone and style right, but lacked a proper story to bring the audience onboard.
Again, doesn't really work with Superman or Batman ... The tone just jarrs.
Wonder Woman sort of works, definitely in the way they reused the CA:TFA template to make her movie.
I think Warner Brothers needs to just blow up the DCEU and start completely over...
They should just swallow their pride and copy Marvel by getting an excellent group of writers to come together and plan out the progression of the DC Universe just as Marvel Studio's did...
