the box office was weak because


We're not use to Good DC movies yet and we're worried Wonder Woman and Aquaman were flukes and they wanted to watch Endgame a few times the biggest epic Marvel movie

I'm not too sure about that. Its release being sandwiched between Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame probably didn't do itself any favors. Maybe, if it was released during the summer, it would have done better numbers.

yeah at least I'll own a copy in July

Cant say I liked it very much, it wasnt awful or anything. It was just meh. And I fucking loathed aquaman, and wonderwoman was so-so. DC movies of late, imo, are just trying too hard to be marvelesque, instead of being their own thing.

maybe you're not the audience for super-hero movies or do you like Marvel Movies yeah DC Should try to be their own Movies they dropped the ball thinking people just wanted to see Batman movies and a Superman Spin off Steel when they could of been leading with a cinematic universe

I do like super hero movies. The DC ones were just shit movies. Forced, hatchet jobs trying to be something they werent. Always reacting to Marvel, instead of just taking their time and doing it right. Aquaman was tedious, plot by numbers and just boring as fuck. I turned it off half way through after being excited to see it from the hype. Shazam, looked good in trailers, but dragged out too long with an again predictable plot.

yeah we'll some people hated Aquaman some people loved it, some said Shazam is finally a good DC movie I liked Aquaman when I compared it too the other DC movies Wonder Woman was OK Because it was a lot like Captain America The First [spoiler] Second [/spoiler] Avenger. I hated The Man of Steel Hated Batman V Superman Hated Justice League I Hate The Man of Steel the most of all
