Seems to be a pretty clear path forward for WB / DC to me --
You had a dark, violent, critically acclaimed and hugely commercially successful Joker movie.
You had a dark, violent, critically acclaimed and hugely commercially successful The Batman movie.
You've got your two movies and a template to start building out a 'universe' with if you want. But instead we're gonna reset again and get a hokey jokey James Gunniverse that will almost certainly fail.
It's also going up again Wonka's release (also WB) the week before and Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 on the same day.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife was a B+ movie and the fanbase has a lot of crossover with superhero movies. I know which one I'd be going to see if they were released on the same day.

Man that's a dismal Christmas lineup. They will all do some business because of the holiday, but damn. Wonka probably with the best potential to actually be good and make some money.

That is a pretty awful lineup. Aquaman 2 is the only one I'd likely consider going to in the theatres. The first one was dumb but also pretty fun at points. Although the sequel is likely to go the way of Shazam or the GotG, where the 2nd just couldn't capture the fun of the first.

Invincible was great. 2nd season had been Green light.
Looks like Gunn is not in charge of much in the DC universe. He's been given orders on what to do with Superman and three next couple of movies and they will mash as much in there as possible. I predict disaster just like The Flash. What a mess. Great way to set up a sale, tank your value.
DC just needs to get to Superman Legacy and let us see what Gunn has in store for the future. This will be either the rebuild of the fans faith in the franchise, or the salt on the ashes.

Wow Secret Invasion was a big turd. Kept waiting for something awesome to happen and then it just ended. Had an interesting paranoid espionage thriller concept but was executed like a soap opera. Even the big twists were super obvious.

Yeah...it was a bit of a slog.
You keep waiting for Fury to do something cool, but overall it just felt...'directionless?'
Like...where is this all going? Yeah, it was just content essentially. I wouldnt recommend it unless you're bored and have nothing else to do.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
They titled it Secret Invasion but then delivered Old Man Fury.
I'm with you. It was not good.
Even 'Old Man Fury' could have been entertaining? This just felt like a completely misguided mess.
Nothing made much sense, the characters werent compelling....Samuel L. Jackson playing Nick Fury was uninteresting, which, I mean, that takes some work. That requires effort. That man sold 'Snakes on a Plane.'
The show ended and I was thinking to myself...."what was that?"
