The DCAU did the whole connected universe concept really well when it kicked off 25 years ago with Batman and Superman meeting for the first time.
WB could've honestly taken a lot of inspiration from BTAS, STAS, JL, and JLU in adapting a film friendly DC cinematic universe. But they instead chose to just be the anti-MCU and went all in on a vision and direction that just... wasn't good enough.
The DC heroes deserve better treatment and better stories, and DC fans don't deserve the apparent contempt WB has for them.
The DCEU news/leaks coming out now just feels like a really forced course correction where WB is trying to cherry pick between the good and bad decisions they've made instead of rolling with everything that's happened.
I'll reserve final judgement till after the dust settles. There's potential, but there's also the undeniable fact that WB/DC did all of this to themselves.
