I think WB/DC is working at a fair/regular pace. They're really giving us a share amount so far. Think about it.
2004 - Catwoman
2005 - Batman Begins
2005 - V For Vendetta
2005 - Constantine
2006 - Superman Returns
2007 - 300
2008 - The Dark Knight
2009 - Watchmen
2010 - Jonah Hex
2011 - Green Lantern
2012 - The Dark Knight Rises
They've given us something every single year since 2004.
Granted, half of them are terrible, but they're sure as hell making these movies at a fair pace. Compare to Marvel:
2008 - Iron Man
2008 - The Incredible Hulk
2010 - Iron Man 2
2011 - Thor
2011 - Captain America
2012 - The Avengers
Really, WB/DC was focusing on giving one-shot stories their own films, stories that get no sequels like Watchmen and V For Vendetta.
DC's Biggest Mistake:
Their biggest mistake was three points -
1. Nolan's Batman Trilogy is its own thing.
2. Superman Returns wrote itself into a corner and rehashed the old series.
3. Green Lantern underperformed.
We can't even count #1 because we're all grateful for this trilogy.
So really, if they heal the wounds with Man of Steel, we're already on our way to fixing these problems with a Green Lantern and Batman reboot.
I really don't see any of this as a problem. A Justice League universe is easier than we think.
Give us The Flash, and let's go from there. Baby steps. The Flash is the smartest move they could make right now.
