Where did DC/WB go wrong? - Part 1

[smallville fan]

2008 - Iron Man post-credits sequence introduces Sam Jackson/Nick Fury and establishes that Marvel already has a well rooted vision of a shared universe in production, "Real" Humans, Gods, and Monsters can and will exist together.

2008 - Meanwhile: Interview Nolan is espousing that Batman character doesn't lend itself to that, he has to be and see himself as the only hero in his universe to work. And WB proudly tows that pov line of thinking and wears it like a badge(of cluelessness(although some fans tow that same clueless line of thought)) throughout their movies.

Beginning of time - 2008 - Every fan familiar with Batman Superman already knows -Of-course that is how Batman sees himself! So treat Superman like an intruder to his universe and POV, actually give Bruce Wayne that exact attitude towards Superman's arrival in "his real" universe, that's the conflict, that's true to the character, that breaks down his whole POV, he has to rethink himself, and that is the freakin post DK movie! Set it up!

2011- Thor - Literally "bridges" the supposed impossible gap between the ground of science and the island of mythology, and unapologeticlly and convincingly delivers an arrogant "God" at once cursed to walk among humans, then willing finding strength in their humanity to survive against a god of chaos and war. Marvel has produced the ultimate Wonder Woman vs Ares movie using a man.
Meanwhile WB with Whedon canned, and their head up their own ass declares we have no idea how to do a Wonder Woman movie, the modern god among humans concept alludes us and would never work today.

2011 - Green Lantern (with the worst script ever put to paper, desperately attaches it to a disinterested director, and for whole lot of other reasons bombs) - no post credit scene of silhouette of Batman at computer screen with file open on Hal Jordan, and watching green light shoot across city sky, and a "John Doe"* witness in an out of place fedora and trenchcoat watching anonymously from the crowd.

2012 - MOS ends- No post credit scene of silhouette of Batman at computer screen with open file on Clark Kent, and images of alien ships ...blue-red blurr on screen and a "John Doe"* witness in an out of place fedora and trenchcoat watching anonymously from the crowd.

2012 - TDKR ends- with Batman existing in his own grim dark bubble - No possibility of a bigger universe existing. ...No post credit scene of "John Doe"* man in fedora suddenly standing right behind him in the Batcave.

2012 - Avengers, Joss Whedon rips the ultimate modern Justice League tale (Kingdom Come) - Powers that be threatened by unpredictable, volatile "heroes" Super-tech/Gods/&Monsters all dwelling among us. Their power, their egos, their duplicity! The order is given .... nuke them all. Super "Hero" and "Villain" alike.
Most fans don't even notice, as he delivers the biggest FU in the universe to DC/WB.

Ending it with the heroes chiling in a restaurant dive, - Not without sacrifice, but we survived that...now we are all family.

2013 - Sandiego Comic-Con half decade later Warner Bros. panel- Instead of sticking to their clueless stance, finally admit and announce Oh! we will do it so Batman treats it like Superman and others would be intruders/invaders to his very "real" grim dark universe, and a threat to earth - .... what every fan already knew 5 to 30 years before them. And now with zero build up and anticipation they will outrageously cram it all into one movie, to ridiculously try and play catch up.

*If you don't know who this obviously will be, turn in your superherohypester license.

I'm sorry but The Avengers is not a rip-off of Kingdom Come. The source material for the Avengers is the 1963 comic made by Stan Lee and the modern re-imagining of Mark Millar's The Ultimates which were both used to make an alien invasion film. Kingdom Come is a Superman-centric Justice League story about the old guard returning to write the wrongs of the new and inspire them. Ultimately the story's big overarching theme is exploring the question of "What is Justice?"

How is that anything like The Avengers?
