With its over the top action and visual spectacles showcased at every opportunity, this is surely one of the biggest films of the year. But where does this Cinematic Universe find itself after this massive success? Let\u2019s look at how the DCEU fares, post <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aquaman<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It isn\u2019t too surprising to hear that a sequel has already been given a green light after the impressive performance of the first film. However, the DCEU unfortunately already has a massive backlog of previously announced films. There are at least 20 films that are in varying degrees of development, one of which,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lobo<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is based on the titular comic book character, has been trying to get off the ground since 2009. Some other announced projects range from the obvious, such as sequels to previous successful entries in the franchise like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Man of Steel 2 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Suicide Squad 2 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all the way to films of lesser-known characters like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue Beetle, Plastic Man <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Gods. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does inspire hope in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aquaman<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s case however is the sheer level of achievement it has gotten, one not seen since <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wonder Woman, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which had its own sequel confirmed only seven weeks after the premiere. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having the first billion-dollar entry in your franchise doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s set for life; it only means that the quality must remain that consistent\u2014something the DCEU has had difficulty with that in the past. Starting with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Man of Steel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2013, it received fairly good reviews \u00a0before the scatching criticism that came with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Continuing the trend was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suicide Squad, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which hailed no better than its previous entry<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t until a year later where <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wonder Woman<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would be universally praised and was hailed as the best in the franchise. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following that was<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Justice League<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the entry that made the least amount of money at the box office. Which leads us to now, one of the only peaks in the history of this cinematic universe. It\u2019s up to the next batch of films, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shazam!, Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wonder Woman 1984 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to uphold the current success. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps simplicity is the name of the game here. Next year marks the debut of parallel films, ones that focus more on a character&#8217;s origin rather than a team-up or have the least amount of studio meddling, which could have better results. There is a history of Warner Bros. interfering with pre-production on films and changing the outcomes on certain films, most notably with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suicide Squad <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Justice League<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If the studio can learn to leave the directors to their craft and not helicopter their project than perhaps the DCEU can really be, at its core, auteurs delivering excellent movies. Now, there doesn\u2019t seem to be any meddlesomeness from WB for the upcoming batch of films, but as their release date inches closer, nothing would be a surprise compared to past offences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to stand out as a cinematic universe when more and more studios are vying to come anywhere close to Marvel\u2019s flagship movie series. So long as the DCEU can keep its head on straight and focus on the aspects that make their films loved, then it doesn\u2019t matter how they compare to another franchise. The future holds promise, wonder and excitement; you\u2019ll believe a man can fly.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Aquaman\u2019s massive 2018 splash at the box office, general audiences and DC Extended Universe fans alike were more than satisfied to see the franchise enjoy the fruit of its labor.
