It's all a lot simpler. Good movies are good. Bad movies are bad.

And there's the rub for me. When Batman was repeatedly rebooted they always started going back and retelling his origin story. They did a great job in the Keatonverse why keep going over the same territory. Same with Superman, we know where he comes from and how he was raised. Don't keep revisiting it. In fact the best thing they did in DC was not going into the Jokers back story, it made him way more interesting. The JN Joker was awesome but his origin story in that movie was a bit silly.
