The DCEU prepares to play their Get Out of Continuity Free card: FLASHPOINT

[JasonPratt]

> Be DC
> Make a high-action Superman film (yay!) that has an aggressively stupid plot, a needlessly dark and gritty tone, and fundamentally misunderstands the characters (booooooooooooooo)
> Make an even more bombastically worse BvS movie.
> Release Ultimate BvS edition that fixes some of the inanities, but doesn't fundamentally fix the movie.
> Release an even more aggressively stupid Suicide Squad movie, which lurches into trying to be 'fun' like a Cylon attempting to parse humanity. (Not the sexpot Cylon type either.) A film that nearly convinces internet darling ComicBookGirl19 to give up reviewing movies.
> Burn through reshoots and a new director for a Justice League film that will now be an aborted-arc single film, with no followup currently planned.
> Burn through a total pre-production cycle on the solo Batman film, with Batman actor who wants to quit, and who gave up directing the film, and whose script has been flushed for a page 1 rewrite by the new director.
> Burn through multiple scripts and multiple directors trying to get a Flash movie up next.
> Give up trying to do an Aquaman film even though he looks like the third best thing in the JL promotional material (after Flash and Wonder Woman).
> Succeed reasonably well with Wonder Woman. (Credit where it's due.)
> WW is now attached to an absolute Metropolis/Gotham garbage dump holocaust.

> Cancel the Flash solo film, and start work on a Justice League: Flashpoint film.
> Total reboot of continuity, except for any parts that current actors want to continue and which have been received well by fans.
