Four years ago, we lived in a world without a Superman. We were five years removed from Superman Returns which had been dubbed a failure and the word reboot was on everyone's lips. With the end of Christopher Nolan's highly successful Dark Knight trilogy, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment saw their opportunity to use the Superman reboot Man of Steel to begin a new shared universe a la Marvel's Avengers. Fast forward to last week when we DC fans finally got our big team up movie, Justice League which quickly became a massive financial failure with some reports expecting WB to lose up to $100 million. While no radical course corrections have been announced yet, with a loss that big it's only a matter of time before that word, reboot, begins to rear its head again. So what happened to place the DCEU on life-support and can it survive this latest blow? Maybe not.
