Warner Bros. Boss Admits DC Movies Need To Be Better

One thing everyone can agree on is that the DCU dubbed the DCEU needs major work on the franchise to fix the many mistakes in the DC movies. The most notable answer is that the DCU NEEDS to make better movies.

One particular executive has a pretty simple solution. Read on…

Warner Bros. Boss Admits DC Movies Need To Be BetterToby Emmerich is a high-ranking figure at Warner Bros. and, at the very least, has to take some ownership over what has happened with the DCEU thus far.

Despite the fact that the studio continues to release garbage DC films with the exception of Wonder Woman, the Justice League fiasco is the biggest failure of them all.

With that said, the films failure has shifted things around behind the scenes of the DCU Films. During a recent in-depth interview, Toby Emmerich got quite candid about the situation and, without outwardly saying some of the DC movies.

Instead of coming right out an admitting that some of the DCU movies were just bad movies, he made it clear that the studio and DC need release better films in the future.

Emmerich had this to say:

I think the good movies work better. Somebody once said the best business strategy in motion pictures is quality. And I think in a world of Rotten Tomatoes and social media, what’s been proven the better the movie, particularly in the superhero genre, the better it performs. You can’t hide the bacon anymore.

Right now, Warner Bros. seems to have a lot of faith in James Wan’s Aquaman, and we are all crossing our fingers it’s the next Wonder Woman. The first trailer is set to premiere at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Toby Emmerich continued, talking about the difficulty of judging art upon its arrival as well as his faith that Aquaman is coming at the right time.

I would say no matter what, the better the movie is the more advantage it is. Now when you’re talking about art, I do believe that it’s tough to judge art at the moment when its presented to the world. My father was very involved in the arts, he was always taking me to museums and galleries and historical buildings. He believed any kind of art, whether it’s fashion or sculpture or architecture or filmmaking or music, it takes 20 years to judge the quality of something. Twenty years after Sgt. Pepper or Born to Run comes out, then you can understand what that album was. I guess when I say ‘quality,’ I don’t want to judge anybody’s movies completely at the moment of release. But I would say there are movies that are right for their time, that an audience is ready for, that’s in sync with the zeitgeist, and I think you need a movie whose quality is recognized at the moment of release so it’s in touch with the culture of the moment. We’re at a unique moment around the planet and certain types of movies are working better than others at this moment of time. And I do think Aquaman will sync up with the global culture zeitgeist of what’s happening right now.

Hopefully, the new leadership at DC can steer this ship in the right direction and unify the currently divided fanbase.
