Detective Comics Cinematic Universe (formerly Man of Steel)
TheEvilDog:
The real problem might be that Warner Brothers might just decide to cut their losses with the DCEU films after Justice League and Wonder Woman.
I mean, at the moment the budget for the first three films in the DCEU has been $650 million and the Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice films have earned $1.5 billion.
Compare that to Marvel, whose budget for Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk Iron Man was $490 million and the three films made $1.47 billion and if Suicide Squad flops, the executives are going to be wondering if its worth it.
Kugai:
Don't forget, Hollywood has a looong history of 'Creative Accounting', so I wouldn't put too much store in those figures.
TheEvilDog:
True and they'll swap things around if needs be. But in the end, money talks and if the DCEU films continue like they are, WB might decide to cut their losses.
Of course, this means now that the future of the DCEU lies firmly on the shoulders of the Wonder Woman and the Justice League film, but also how the cinema going public views women led superhero films. Catwoman bombed and is generally considered tied with David Hasselhof as Nick Fury as the worst superhero film ever made. The executives just don't believe that women can't lead a hero film by themselves, which is of course bullshit. How Wonder Woman does will be hugely important, not just from a cash perspective, but from an equality one as well.
Edguy:
I'm pretty sure Suicide Squad is going to make good money. It has been very well marketed, and it's the kind of movie that doesn't have to be all that good for a bunch of people to like it. Also, people are hungry for something similar after Deadpool!

This seems to be the viewpoint that I'm seeing in many viewers' reactions. Not a bad movie but has too many flaws and bad creative choices to ever get beyond 'mediocre/meh'.
