While DC has their faults and epic failures (BvS will forever be one of the worst movies I've ever seen in theaters and I still don't know WTF they were thinking with WW 1984) they've also had some pretty good stuff as of late.
Joker made over a billion dollars (highest grossing R rated movie of all time btw) Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar for his performance as the Joker (second time an actor won the Oscar for that role following Heath Ledger's iconic Oscar winning performance)
,. Wonder Woman was very well received and a major box office success. Ditto on Aquabro making over a billion at the box office (I loathed all that goofy shit though but I can't deny that it was a big success for Warner Bros/DC) Shazam was a surprise success (not major but still it was received well overall)
The Batman was flat out incredible and an awesome fresh take on Batman imo. Matt Reeves knocked it out of the park. It was also very well received by audiences & critics alike (Not to mention a box office success as well as a huge hit for HBO Max streaming service) and IMO it shits all over any of the formulaic assembly line crap that Kevin Feige has been shoveling out to the masses for over a decade now.
But you enjoy She Hulk: Attorney of Law on Disney+, looks like real cutting edge stuff:-) [Reply]

Talks about all of the box office success of DC movies and then brings up She Hulk while ignoring the BILLIONS of dollars that Marvel has made.
Plus your use of punctuation all over the place is god awful to read. [Reply]

I also clearly noted that those DC movies were well received by audiences & critics alike. Just pointing out its not the dumpster fire that poster was alluding to with "LOL DC" .
And just to clarify I never once ignored the billions of dollars the MCU has made. Never denied how insanely successful the MCU has been. I just pointed out how formulaic most of them are to me (hence, mentioning all the assembly line shit that Kevin Feige has been shoveling out to the masses for over a decade now)
And me bringing up She Hulk: Attorney of Law was completely harmless. I wasn't aware how popular she was with the MCU fanboys. Will make sure to tread lightly next time. :-) [Reply]

lol That's what you gathered from my post? (Even after I clearly stated in that very post you quoted that BvS was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in theaters, Aquabro being beyond stupid/goofy as hell movie , WW1984 being a complete abortion of a sequel, how DC royally messed up with Green Lantern and being overly critical of the entire Snyderverse Justice League shitshow? :-))
Definitely not a "fanboy" of either DC or Marvel. While I'm a big time movie buff, I can honestly say that The Dark Knight would be the only comic book super hero movie that would even crack my top 25 favorite movies of all time. Most of my favorite movies range from David Fincher movies, Scorsese movies or David Lynch movies.
I was wowed by Matt Reeves' The Batman though. [Reply]

Joker was pretty good, but wasn't really a DC type movie (which may be why it was pretty good). Wonder Woman was passable, but wildly overrated. The rest of the movies have all pretty much sucked. [Reply]

On the first Wonder Woman movie, about 3/4ths of the movie was pretty good. The last 1/4 of the movie was utter crap. [Reply]
