They were all entertaining and I enjoyed them all, but none of them were good movies. If anything they were just proof that at this point any half ass planned solo movie can make you a boat load of money (except one about a green guy in space I guess : ). Why wouldn't WB want to cash in on this? They are trying a new model, just because Marvel did it their way doesn't mean DC can't do it a different way.
If people didn't like Man of Steel then they won't like the rest of these movies as a result and should probably just save their 15 bucks. But you should go back and watch Cap 1, Thor 1 and 2, Ironman 2 and 3, both Hulks and tell me those are good movies, lol.
Doesn't really matter anyway since none of them will be able to compete with what X-Men did.. even if the numbers don't show it.

Yeah I agree, but I'm not saying the movies you mentioned were good necessarily. Just that they introduced audiences to the characters and their motivations which helped the Avengers in the sense that they dont have explain who/what Thor and Loki are, why Captain America shows up, etc...
I consider myself a pretty big comic fan bit I would have to look into martian manhunters background for sure and likely flash and Aquaman jsut to see what their actual origins are. Can they cram into one movie? They may not have to but it could disconnect the audience with the characters.
It's like they're expecting the people to just be so excited for JL that they come and pay regardless. Would the Avengers have been as popular without the prior individual films? I doubt it. Most people didn't know who Ironman even was before the 1st movie. Same with Thor. Their expecting me to care about Flash just because, well he's the Flash? I don't think so.
FOr the record I liked Man of Steel and have no problem with Affleck as Batman (at least until I can actually see it, I'm sure he can be a fine Batman, it's Bruce Wayne that I'm not sure about). I just htink they're going about this the wrong way.
