Please rewatch the Superman Zod fight part, it looks like a ps2 cut scene and not even a very good one. Shazam being made by new line really has me worried about that.

I think Shazam will actually be more important to the future of DC movies than Batman V Superman.
Everyone knows B v S will be a huge hit, but what WB really need is to prove they can make a great/successful DC superhero movie that doesn't include Batman or Superman.
Yes, but the name itself doesn't always mean a movie is going to be bad. The Russo Brothers is a prime example. And don't get your hopes up on Spike Jonze. Never going to happen.
The Russo Brothers impressed the hell out of me. Before the film came out I was wondering 'Why Them?' But it's probably also due to the great producing team led by Kevin Feige that is with every Marvel Studios film. It's like the production team on all the Harry Potter films; they switched out directors and maintained the same level of high quality.
I don't know if DC has that proven, consistent producing team that will be there for every film. Christopher Nolan has moved on, hasn't he? Who's the overseer-er - Zack Snyder?

Definitely not more important. The fact remains, if Bats v Supes is awesome, DC is on track. If bats v supes sucks, DC goes down the shithole.
If Shazam is successful, the most that'll do is give WB a little more confidence in more obscure DC properties. It won't have as huge of an impact on the DCU as bats v supes.
Thing is even if Batman V Superman is just OK, it's going to make a ton of money so unlikely to stop them carrying on with Batman, Superman and Justice League films.
If Shazam sucks or is just OK but struggles to make its money back then WB are just going to Halt on any plans involving a film without Batman and Superman.
Remember just a few years ago, Batman was doing Spectacular at the box office but Green Lantern flopped. The Result- Flash and Wonder Woman pre-JL solo films never happened. And Its taken 3 years to even get an announcement for a film not involving Batman or Superman.
I meant because its an even smaller studio and will have a smaller budget. Don't listen to Campea, if BvS is Amazing then WB can sell JL but will that effect other properties? I don't think so.
Also Snyder isn't an Amazing director, i think you will be looking at a movie that can't possibly live up to its own unearned hype.

Whether Bats v Supes is successful or not doesn't have everything to do with money though. If the movie is bad quality, and gets poor fan reaction, it will put a serious damper on the prospects of the DCU.
Not to undermine the importance of Shazam, which is also really important.
