DC hates itself. That’s been the main overarching theme of everything they’ve produced since 1985. They’ll pat themselves on the back for having characters with decades of history but make it clear that they think that every part of that history prior to the most recent reboot is crap that nobody should read, and most of the reboot will be dedicated to raking the character’s past over the coals. Comic fans seem to go in for that sort of thing, but general audiences don’t.
I mean, I love DCAU as much as anyone, but they can only retread and “retry” so often. We don’t need so many DC films, or if we do, make them original.
I get that their commercial target is “MCU.” Thing is, MCU is an overgrown abomination now.

…Maybe they’re squeezing too much out?
