But nobody seems to have considered the possibility of DC crapping the bed with their movies. They haven't exactly gotten off to a great start; Man of Steel was the most divisive comic book movie ever made and the reactions to a lot of their castings like Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa have been quite mixed. Yeah, they've got some great directors for their upcoming movies, but both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and both parts of Justice League are being directed by Zack Snyder, who has a very dodgy track record. It's possible I guess, but DC looks to have considerably more odds in there favour. First of all, Batman vs Superman could generate a lot of hype for it for make profits, even if the movie is terrible. All Warner Bros. would need is 250 mil to financially speaking warrant a sequel, which having a movie with three of the most famous superheroes in history could achieve. They also have the ENTIRE DC Universe in Cinematic and TV form to play around with. Not even the MCU or Foxverse can claim that.

Not to mention, Man of Steel did have a decent fan approval rate via Rotten Tomatos. But you're absolutely right, it could fail and the MCU and Foxverse could duke it out, but it's just not as likely. 55% isn't a good result, it's actually quite mediocre. You are aware that the DC TV shows aren't set in the DC Extended Universe, right? Some of them aren't even set in the same universe as each other. But we're getting off topic here.

Yeah, AllTimeBlow did seem to completely change tune there.
