It's staggering how they had the ability to do what Marvel did for years and just....didn't. Like, they were absolutely convinced crossovers would harm their IPs, which is hilarious both because they not only lost out on god knows how much money but ended up running their IPs into the ground as solo franchises anyway.

Like seriously, what exec shot down the idea of Christopher Reeve's Superman meeting Keaton's Batman as something no fan wanted to see? Kid me in the 90's would have seen that thing 15 fucking times just out of principle.

I know we've beaten this horse to death but sometimes you just have to stand back and revisit the situation just to remember how fucking retarded this all is

>be the Browns
>expectations are so impossibly low that a coach who went 1-15 and 0-16 in consecutive seasons still didn't get fired until halfway through the next season
>the guy you drafted with the #1 overall pick, stuck on a winless team with what unironically might have been the worst coach of all time still sets the rookie record for touchdowns despite not playing the first two games
>two years later the team has its first winning season in more than a decade and not only makes the playoffs for the first time in 17 years but actually win a playoff game for the first time in almost 20 years
>this somehow fails to impress you so you don't sign your #1 pick who just led your joke of a team to a playoff win, to an extension.
>In fact, you seemingly decide that you hate the fucking guy for no apparent reason and blame him for no getting your elite team to the super bowl or something
>let him play hurt knowing you're going to dump him anyway
>in one final dick move, trade him to the Panthers
>use the cap space to sign a free agent who spent the entire previous season sitting out because of a contract dispute
>and who might be a serial rapist
>and even he thinks your team isn't good enough for him so he says no
>you have to offer him the most guaranteed money in history to change his mind
>and then he gets suspended because of the whole nonconsensual peanut oil thing
>the guy you dropped (who, again, was your own #1 pick) goes elsewhere. Plays great, wins another playoff game, gets the deal you wouldn't give him and everyone likes him
>the guy you chose instead becomes unplayable and untradeable and is $200 million of complete dead weight while also being a PR nightmare and everyone hates him
>you traded your only successful qb in decades so you could offer the worst contract in history

>I assume they must've had solid facts to act on

If anything, the facts should have warned them against this. Oversaturating the market with increasingly watered down content, trying to make every random d-tier character a viable IP, invoking multiverse and time travel related magic asspulls that render everything pointless because there's no more rules or permanent outcomes, and replacing every iconic character with a wokeslop version is how the comic industry murdered itself. And they looked at the wreckage of the comic industry and said, "we're going to do that but to something much more valuable"

If you have irrefutable proof that your target demographic hates the things you're planning to do, and then you insist on doing them anyway...well, then you'd be modern Disney, who bought the 2 most valuable franchises in film history and strangled the life out of both in less than 10 years

The DCEU's second half is the most inexplicable period of mismanagement any major media company has ever had. They attempted to cash in on every IP they had....except Batman and Superman. Harley Quinn got more solo films than Affleck's Batman did. They put Cavill's Superman in the doghouse but greenlit a Suicide Squad reboot after one film. They dragged their heels on the Aquaman sequel but didn't hesitate to make Shazam 2.

They eventually did make a Batman movie....and it had nothing to do with their extended universe that desperately needed a hit and instead was essentially a competing product because Affleck was also still Batman. And now they don't know what to do with it because it doesn't fit with their new plan either. The biggest success of their entire tenure was Joker and that was a film they had so little confidence in they gave away some of the profits because they didn't think there would be any. Even their successes were partial failures. They literally did everything wrong every step of the way. It's like Snyder was the only sane person at any level of the executive branch.
