Yeah plus there's already enough competition for the DCEU, with the MCU, the Sony Spider-Man spin off's and Fox's X-Men. And now the DCEU is gonna have other stand alone DC films entering the competition. Just weird.
Who knows? People could very well warm up to different iterations.
Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman in Warner's "Wonder Woman"
More films, more options, more ways to imagine and see these characters in various forms and iterations. We already have TV versions, some of them connected to each other and some not, and they exist fine alongside the big-screen versions that remain apart from the TV stories. Audiences are more open and able to handle these differences nowadays, I think, and will appreciate more options. So it's good that a studio is willing to take these risks and give filmmakers the creative freedom to pursue the projects they want to make, the way they want to make them.

Eh... I'd be fan if they just axed the DCEU altogether. Marvel is already doing that. I've always been fine with them simply doing a JL film with no tie-in films and still am. Then, instead of doing solo films that tie-in, they do adaptations of some of the best comics like Red Son. I'd love that.
But they won't sadly. Instead they have to create a mediocre (or in DC's case so far, shitty) film universe. Where each film is part commercial for the next films and part Easter eggs from previous films.

Animation, comics, etc...
Comics is not a good example.

I'd be fine with them doing either a shared universe or a non-shared universe, just not both at the same time.

I'm sure there will be confusion, but its not that hard to figure out. Eventually the audience will catch on. I just want some good stories/movies and this could be a perfect avenue for that. One that could give us a ton of possibilities.
Sure it could. It just seems like they're handicapping themselves yet again. The DCEU could offer all of those things, but none of them seem to have the courage to take the ball and run with it.

Yeah, do one or the other.
Trying both simultaneously sounds messy.

I think it's too early to say they are handicapping themselves, especially since they're still going on with the DCEU. They have a ton of movies coming out for that line alone. I want to hear more until I say this will be a disaster.
