Enough time has passed since Steel‘s abysmal release to warrant another DC movie attempt. From 1951’s Superman and the Mole Men to Tim Burton’s Batman, Richard Donner’s Superman, and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, DC movies released before the DCEU and the DCU mostly focused on the company’s two most famous superheroes, Batman and Superman. Some exceptions to this rule were 1982’s Swamp Thing and its 1989 sequel The Return of Swamp Thing, as well as 2005’s Constantine, 2010’s Jonah Hex, and 2011’s Green Lantern.
