The DCEU suffered uneven reception over the years, and there were three clear problems that could have been easily solved by Warner Bros.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The DCEU's three biggest problems had an easy solution, but DC parent studio Warner Bros. — now Warner Bros. Discovery — ignored it. The DCEU will end this December with the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, making way for James Gunn's new DC Universe.
The DCEU received complaints for its handling of DC's iconic characters. Even though director Zack Snyder's vision for the DCEU was divisive, it is clear that he had a distinct plan for the franchise; however, to make matters worse, Warner Bros. ended up parting ways with Snyder before he could complete his vision. That led to the DCEU remaining aimless for the rest of its run after Snyder left 2017's Justice League.
DCEU's Most Complained About Issues Had A Perfect TV Show Fix The DCEU suffered from three big issues: its overall dark tone, poor pacing on multiple projects, and iconic characters not having enough screen time. While there were many controversies over the years that DCEU executives couldn't have planned for, the three major problems with the shared movie universe could have been dealt with by adding TV series to the DCEU's lineup.
Some DC movies dealt with pacing issues, and those could have been resolved by turning them into series instead; also, the DCEU needed to have some origin stories to properly set up Justice League's cast, and DCEU TV shows could have handled at least some of those. Finally, Superman and several DCEU characters were absent for long periods, and that could have been mitigated with appearances in DCEU series between their movie roles.
Why The DCEU Avoided Creating TV Shows The most likely reason why the DCEU never had TV shows was due to there already being a shared DC TV universe in play — the Arrowverse. While the DCEU was going through a rough patch, the Arrowverse thrived, with DC even having Ezra Miller's Barry Allen cameo in the Arrowverse's groundbreaking Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover to get audience interest up for this year's The Flash movie.
