Even as a DCEU fan and defender, I will admit when they've made mistakes and be critical over their decisions. In this case, one of the biggest mistakes they're currently making, along with the Snyder Cut & MOS2, is not making a very important movie: FLASHPOINT.
Now, the obvious reasons as of why they should make this movie are based on what that story had, what it was about, both of which are felt to this day in comic form, plus the CW series; but, the other reasons relate to the DCEU proper, as it would improve the present by repairing the past and setting up the future.
Examples would include, but not limited towards:
- I don't have a problem with this, but it might be an interesting change to have Pa Kent live via Clark's actions, choosing to save him despite his reasons, and doing it without people seeing him but still seeing a "savior" of sorts. The change here is that Superman has been active for years before the Black Zero incident.
- Jason Todd is still dead, but perhaps the Flash's actions causes a ripple effect that brings Jason to live again, setting him up in later films.
- Because WB doesn't want to make a Legion of Doom/Injustice League film now, FLASHPOINT would be JL 1.5. Once its over, they can go ahead with the actual JL 2 with Darkseid and finally finish that plotline.
There's more, but even with those, you get the idea. Bottom line: it is a mistake not to make FLASHPOINT.
