Detective Comics Cinematic Universe (formerly Man of Steel)

Usually for me the opposite really. I heard that they were thinking of doing a Legion of Superheroes movie and my first, second and third reactions were 'Oh dear deities please no.. don't ruin the Legion too.' All of their movies and tv shows of late seem determined to just suck all the joy and fun out of their comics characters of late, with the possible exception of the Flash tv show. The jury is still out on that.. it's darker than the source material but not 'omg soul crushing bottomless pit of humorless eternal darkness' levels like they seem determined to do with their IPs.

I really quite like Arrow, it got better near the end of season 1. I enjoy Flash so far, too.

In really, really, really awful casting news, rumor has it that Jaden Smith may be cast as Virgil Hawkins

It's odd. The MCU has invariably been a positive and enjoyable experience that has had excellent story-telling, characterisation and remain (and this is important) fun. For some reason the emergent DCU seems dark, negative, depressing and almost Millerite in its general disdain for the concept of heroism as a positive force.
What is more, it is genuinely not fun. Because of this, watching it is a chore for me and that is an immediate danger sign for any TV show or movie series.
