The DCEU is desperately playing catch up with the MCU, and thanks to Wonder Woman, there is still a ray of hope for it yet. The DCEU as a whole has felt rushed so far, and hopefully DC is gearing up to slow things down a bit and work on developing their characters without trying to get to their next team-up film. For a while now, their character Batman has been rumored to be getting his own film in the DCEU, but things appear up in the air at the moment. While we don't doubt that this film will get made, we simply aren't sure if it won't come after the DCEU receives a reboot.
Before the DCEU got underway, The Dark Knight Rises had already reached audiences and dominated the box office. This was the third and final of the trilogy, and it could have served as the lead-in to the DCEU with Man of Steel following. Instead, DC went a different direction, and they have been paying the price ever since. This trilogy remains perhaps the greatest superhero film trilogy made, and its legacy in the industry cannot be overstated.
