To be honest...this is how A LOT of businesses are run...even the Federal Government. There's A LOT of leadership that is "out-of-touch" with their customer-base or their lower level workforce...and unfortunately, WB management is one of them. In my work, we talk about how the old-timers are still "living in the Cold War"...and that's probably how some of these studio heads are, they're living and working in a bubble and surrounded by "Yes men" and living off how they remember the "Good ol' 80's action movies" (which were awesome...but still...you get where I'm going).
Unfortunately, the DC movies and their quality is in a constant tug-of-war between the creators (producers, directors, crew, cast, etc.) and the studio...and it's probably going to be that way for a little while longer. The good thing is that they're now "done" with Snyder, they had their "overall positive" movie in Wonder Woman, and finally have their own "Kevin Feige" in Geoff Johns (assuming he's empowered as he should be and can make good MOVIE-related decisions) and Jon Berg (whose credits are "Out of Time" and "Elf" before DC...who is this guy?).
That's why when I watched the BTS of Civil War, of Kevin Feige and the creatives talking about the movie, it makes 100% sense why Marvel Studios is so successful. They're all like-minded people that are on the same page, and all express passion and thorough and logical thoughts.
Then I watched BvS BTS.. while they're all passionate still, there was a lack of thoroughness to how they talk. It's like "what if this and this is here," and it gets green lit. Rather than a deep discussion on why it should or shouldn't. It's interesting if you have the time to watch both BTS back to back.
