DC is owned/controlled by Time Warner, but don't let facts get in the way of your "I hate DC because I'm currently bandwagonboying it with Marvel" rants 🙂

Well both Wonder Woman & Shazam have their backgrounds steeped in mythology so there's enough basis for people NOT to point out the similarities to Superman.
And I do think it's stupid for people to also think that Nolan set the standard for a darker DC universe. He "humanised" Batman too much thus making it too far fetched for superheroes to be credible.

Zeel got it. Dc focuses too much on Superman and Batman and because of it the rest of the universe takes a backseat to this. Read his post since you can't understand simple points.😂
Let me add to my original post, even though D.C. tends to overly favor theses two franchises, superman and Batman, D.C. has made some attempts to bring other characters in the spotlight. Wonder woman was one, unfortunately the pilot episode bombed before it made it to tv. Green lantern tanked pretty bad, the watchmen did decent and a few others which don't come to mind atm.
I think D.C. has just had extremely bad luck with theses new franchises. I still think marvel has hit it on the mark at least in the theaters where I live. Marvel branches out to all age types. And their movies appeal to overseas fans a lot more then D.C. does. And that is where the money is not here in the U.S.
I firmly believe D.C. does tends to favor bats and supes more then marvel favors any particular hero, but D.C. has made SOME effort to bring other heros to life just not to the extent marvel has.
Hopefully that will change. I was seriously pissed when the plug was pulled on the shazam movie.

The problem I always had with Marvel was that the stories always tended to be love-triangles between the characters OR defending the earth against yet another alien invasion. At least DC never had the soap-opera dramas the X-Men & FF always seemed to have when they weren't fighting aliens.
I quickly got tired of watching the Logan,Jean & Cyclops angst unfold...something I'm sure DC won't have Bruce & Clark pining over Diana.
Also DC broke the standard alien invasion/villain taking over the world scenario by introducing mythical characters, dealing with angels & demons, Heaven & Hell...thus characters like Shazam, WW & Constantine could be achievable.

Xmen and FF are not Marvel Studios. Marvel/Disney has been pretty consistent in the good quality of its films. DC/Warner Bros not so much.

The difference is that Marvel has their own film studio. DC does not, and therefore has to rely completely on WB for film productions.
