I think I prefer DC lego movies more than their actual stuff. I do enjoy the TV shows to an extent but the DCCU is crap and it could have been so much more.
I like DC comics and characters but what they've done with them on the big screen for the most part has been a big swing and a miss compared to what they could have done. They should be at least on par with Marvel and they're nowhere close.

My problem with Marvel is that they always stay within the safe limits of their previous success. Most Marvel movies are just average to good. They will never produce a Joker, Logan, Dark Knight, or even a V for Vendetta.
Part of creating great movies is taking chances with a Zack Snyder...no they don't always work out, but when they do they can be great.
It's also not fair to compare comic book movies made in the 1980s/90s to today...unless you want to dig into the Marvel movies from that era, which no one ever should.
I don't hate Marvel, and quite enjoy many of their movies. When they make a derivative piece of crap, they deserved to be called out. After Avengers 2, there was a lot of backlash at how mediocre that was. They responded well to this and upped their game with Guardians of the Galaxy. Then the fanboy community really started to get out of hand, endlessly praising everything they did. This is why "End Game" was not as good as "Infinity War". Captain Marvel and Antman 2 came out, which were both relatively bland and the studio caved to detractors who said Infinity War was too dark. The study, in turn, really dialed things down between IW and EG.
Fans have a role to call out all the studios for the their less than satisfactory crap. Blind faith in any one product only leads to mediocrity.
