The DCEU is the shared movie universe, distributed by Warner Bros, for DC's iconic superheroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

The movies in the franchise so far have been Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Suicide Squad (2016), Wonder Woman (2017) and Justice League (2017).

It's fair to say it hasn't gone as smoothly as the people behind it would have liked - only Wonder Woman has truly been universally liked - and in this documentary, we'll take a look at why that's been the case.

Factors include there not being one person driving the franchise, the lack of consistency in terms of the movies' formulas, and the rushed nature of the franchise's bigger installments.

It also hasn't helped matters that the franchise is regularly compared to the Dark Knight Trilogy (which it directly followed), the TV Arrowverse (which proves live action DC projects CAN still be fantastic), and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (DC's direct rivals who are totally nailing the movie thing right now).

But there IS still time to reverse the franchise's fortunes - and they can start this year with Aquaman, which has the potential to be fantastic if it's done right!

There's so much untapped potential in DC's comic books, just waiting to be adapted into awesome movies!

Not every actor in the DCEU has been happy with their decision! Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6

While acting in a giant Hollywood superhero movie might seem like a dream to comic book fans and aspiring actors alike, for some stars, the dream is actually more of a nightmare. Whether it’s costume conundrums, fights with the director, a performance left on the cutting room floor, a bad time at the box office, or whatever the reason, there are a handful of actors who have gone on record to express their displeasure at having been a part of these DC movies. From George Clooney and his plastic nipples in Batman & Robin, which has actually been called one of the worst movies ever made, to Tommy Lee Jones who hated Jim Carrey so much that it made Batman Forever a terrible experience. Sean Connery actually blames his time on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for why he quit acting, Matthew Goode couldn't handle how much the fans seemed to hate him in The Watchman before it even came out, and Marion Cotillard didn’t like that she was billed as only a love interest for all of The Dark Knight Rises. Jared Leto is just as confused as we are by his Joker in Suicide Squad (please don’t open any mail from him, ever), Josh Brolin thought Jonah Hex could have been much better, Halle Berry accepted her Razzie Award for Worst Actress for Catwoman, Ryan Reynolds hated Green Lantern so much he actually went back in time and killed himself over it, and finally, Ben Affleck has become a sad, sad Affleck ever since taking on the role of Batman.

Superman was referenced in Venom... but what does it mean for Venom and the DC movie universe? Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6

When Venom was announced and went into production, many fans were anticipating a lot more than just a stand alone movie. Because of Sony’s connection with Spider-Man in the MCU, many were expecting the same treatment for Venom, but this was not the case. Venom stands on his own, without the Tom Holland version of Spider-Man and many fans were disappointed not to see the two characters collide.

But was there a whole different kind of connection in Sony’s Venom?! Was the company so fed up with the MCU that they branched out into another cinematic universe?! Of course, we’re talking about Superman here -- but does Henry Cavill really appear in Venom?! Well, it’s a little more complicated than that, but not completely out of the realm of possibility. We’ve seen crossovers like this in the past and taking steps to do it in the movies can go a long way. Venom’s character reveals some secrets about its weaknesses and the character uses his super buddy as a way to describe them. Even if you’ve seen the movie, you may have missed the brief moment. Of course, Spider-Man does also make an appearance in the film, but in a much different way. By watching the post-credits scene, you can see an exclusive clip of Miles Morales and Peter Parker in the newest Spider-Man animated film. The clip acts as a post-credits scene in a whole different universe than the Venom movie -- so does Venom have more of a chance of appearing in the DCEU than the MCU?! Watch to find out, learn about the moment, and what exactly it means for the future of Venom movies!

Where does the DC movie universe go from here? Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6

While some might think that Marvel has been dominating the comic book movie world for a few years now, the DCEU actually has a ton of awesome movies and characters to offer. But with the less than favourable reviews of Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, fans and critics alike have all been wondering if the DC Extended Universe might actually be winding down. But while they have made a couple of missteps in recent years, we can’t forget that DC actually started the entire superhero movie hype, with it’s early Batman movies and Superman TV shows. And in 2005, Christopher Nolan totally revamped the idea of what a superhero movie could be with his Dark Knight Trilogy, which truly launched the genre into the 21st century. Recently, with the departure of Henry Cavill as Superman and the unsure fate of Ben Affleck as Batman, even more questions have arisen about what is going to happen with Justice League. But with the strength of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and the hype around the upcoming Aquaman stand alone, it seems that DC still has a ton to offer. Not only that, but they have Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and her Bird of Paradise movie, and the new and hotly anticipated Joker origin story starring Joaquin Phoenix. While some might think that a couple of not-so-well received movies might be the downfall of this huge franchise, there is so much evidence, and so many amazing sounding projects in the works that make us believe that, even if the DCEU ends, DC will keep going strong.
