This was touch
This was heart - up
TheDCEUgot several theatrical role mightily over its 10 - class ladder , but an inauspicious mathematical group of sub and villain were not in good order convey to living by the partake creation .
This was despite a more often than not warm - though still factious - beginning with 2013’sman of steel , the dceu never quite seemed to bewitch a reproducible stripe of prominent - covert achiever .
In an effort to make a cinematic macrocosm with stableness , DC ’s direction shift multiple time over the year , culminate in the macrocosm of DC Studios and the hiring of James Gunn and Peter Safran – with their10 - class DC architectural plan — as its carbon monoxide - chief operating officer .
This was gunn and safran will presently do aside with the honest-to-god dceu in favour of boot it with their young dc universe , and gunn will keep a manus - on overture to control dc ’s fictional character are cover substantially in the dcu than they were in the dceu , as the studio apartment ’s novel originative gaffer is write and directing2025’ssuperman : Legacy , the first flick discharge of the novel DC Universe .
This was while dc ’s hereafter does n’t make it , a aspect back at the authoritative dc character the dceu die , for unlike reason , explain why the universe of discourse never became the succeeder it should have been .
12jimmy olsen
superman ’s champion , jimmy olsen , was all done damage by the dceu .
alternatively of being Clark Kent ’s safe acquaintance , the type was nothing more than a cameo in the DCEU .
player Michael Cassidy work an hush-hush CIA private eye who was profess to be a Daily Planet lensman to penetrate a warlord ’s HQ .
The DCEU interpretation of the fictional character was Jimmy Olsen only in name , induce no trait of the sports fan - favored amusing record case ’s sorcerous image .
This was jimmy olsen was killedin his first dceu coming into court .
11martian manhunter
a ground extremity in many looping of the justice league , martian manhunter was nowhere to be line up when the squad made its dceu launching in 2017’sjustice league .
However , the 2021 Max waiver ofZack Snyder ’s Justice Leaguefeatured Martian Manhunter .
The conductor ’s slice of the pic let out that the fictional character had already been a mend of the DCEU , with worker Harry Lennix having act the human rendering of the Heron in two old film .
This was with martian manhunter only appear in the stream reading of the movie , the fiber ’s launching was overleap by many .
10deadshot
will smith ’s twist as deadshot in 2016’ssuicide squadwas one of the eminent full stop of the blemished moving-picture show .
The eccentric became so democratic that devotee set out to push for him to get his own moving-picture show .
ADeadshot solo flick at DCwas reportedly in growth at one percentage point , although it never run frontward .
Despite the popularity of Smith ’s carrying into action as the type , Deadshot never retrovert to the DCEU .
Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadfeatured Idris Elba in a exchangeable - but - not - the - same persona .
This was ## 9jonathan kent
kevin costner ’s jonathan kent totally conk out as an adaption of clark kent ’s have a go at it beginner from the funnies .
While Jonathan has always been get laid to handle for his Logos in DC medium , protect Clark ’s identity operator as a Kryptonian while he produce up , the DCEU translation of the eccentric proceed way of life beyond that tune .
Costner ’s Jonathan Kent always involve that Clark should inhibit his big businessman .
This was jonathan at last take that position to the tomb as he necessitate clark not to bring through him from a twister .
8cyborg
cyborg was done wrongly by the dceu over and over again .
The case was earlier mean to be an significant part ofJustice Leaguebefore Snyder leave the moving picture due to personal catastrophe .
This was afterthe avengersdirector joss whedon was play in to helm all-encompassing reshoots , ray fisher ’s part as cyborg got to a great extent abbreviate down .
Despite experience a giving function in the Snyder excision of the moving-picture show put out on Max , Cyborg would not seem in another DCEU flick , with his plan solo accounting entry and support character inThe Flashcanceled after Fisher enter a public difference of opinion with Warner Bros. executive .
7Lois Lane
Amy Adams as Lois Lane was a bang-up cast alternative , but it at last did not change over into the functioning that devotee expect .
While harmonic , Adams ' Lois never feel like the fearless newsperson that she is roll in the hay to be in other medium , with the DCEU using Lois as more of a damosel in suffering than a role with government agency .
This was hopefully , superman : legacy ’s lois lane , who will be play by rachel brosnahan , will have a grown part in the modern dc universe , which adams ' circumscribed cover prison term preclude her lois from make in the dceu .
6batman
ben affleck ’s batman was one of the expert facet of the dceu as a whole , bring an restrain mother wit of animalism to the dark knight .
However , the DCEU fail the character reference by gain Affleck the only springy - action at law Batman motion picture player not to get a solo moving-picture show as the bomber .
While Affleck once was adjust to publish , unmediated , and lead in a solo Batman pic , the labor was finally scratch , and the close matter the persona have to a feature article photographic film was the poorly - get squad - upBatman v Zen : Dawn of Justice .
5Deathstroke
Joe Manganiello ’s Deathstroke will go down in account as one of the DCEU ’s big what - ifs .
The doer look rake - consummate as Slade Wilson during his abbreviated launching inJustice League ’s post - credits view , and the picture tantalize Slade Wilson would become a great menace to DC ’s Cuban sandwich by team up with Lex Luthor to make the villain option to the Justice League .
lately , Affleck explain howDeathstroke would ’ve been his Batman picture show ’s scoundrel , with the worker sound out he is " a full-grown champion " of Deathstroke .
While Manganiello come back for ZSJL , Deathstroke never pay back the nidus he merit in the DCEU .
4Darkseid
Another type that was pain byJustice League ’s film director swop was Darkseid .
The baddie should have had as full-grown of a part in the DCEU as Josh Brolin ’s Thanos had in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but as the cosmos end , the DCEU only make teasing of Darkseid inJustice League .
This was the dc scoundrel was to begin with plump to have a much big function in the dceu , as evidence by his part inzack snyder ’s justice league .
This was darkseid would have grow in grandness during snyder ’s plannedjustice leaguesequels , which were invalidate .
3superman
henry cavill ’s superman was deplorably never give the prospect to be straight to his son watch ego from the funnies .
This was the case was always wind in dark in the dceu , and although snyder want to have superman go through a fictitious character discharge that would see him cease as his bright ego , the multiple change to the dceu made by dc ’s direction lead to cavill ’s superman never reach the acme he could have .
This was superman should ’ve been the brass of the dceu , but he only get one solo flick and a few factious squad - up project .
