The DCEU Just Can't Catch A Break, Huh?

The DCEU is, unfortunately, continuing its poor run of form after the cancellation of Batgirl by Warner Bros., proving that DC properties are still being mishandled in the world of film and TV. Despite the film being almost complete and set for a late-2022 release, Batgirl was canceled by its parent studio, throwing the already faltering DCEU into further disarray. What this means for the future of DC properties at Warner Bros. Discovery remains to be seen, yet the decision only goes to further prove that DC properties, the fans that support them, and the creatives hired to make these projects deserve better than what is currently being offered.

Warner Bros. cancelation of the Batgirl movie is only the latest misstep in the handling of DC properties from the studio, with the DCEU having been plagued with issues since the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Upon the latter's release in 2016, the DCEU was hit with its first obstacle after the film received poor reviews from critics. This poor run only continued with the release of David Ayer's Suicide Squad and the similarly poor reviews received by that DC outing.

However, after this, the DCEU was seemingly getting itself back on track with the releases of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam!, and Birds of Prey, all of which received positive reviews. Commercially though, only the former two films performed well at the box-office, with the latter two underperforming despite positive reception. After this, with the less-than-stellar reception to Wonder Woman 1984 and the clamor surrounding Zack Snyder's Justice League, the DCEU seemed to hit more speedbumps that have only continued to slow down
