Oh man. I just saw the news of Affleck stepping down as director and possibly leaving the Batman role. That really sucks, but I don't blame him given how badly DCEU was doing.

By MCU Netflix standards, it was Arrow Season 3/4. I have not actually gotten around to seeing it yet, but everyone is dumping on it. Main criticisms were the white washing, poor acting, and a stepdown in Netflix standard fight choreography.

Reasons for that was Heath Ledger's Joker left such a monumental legacy, they wanted to stand-out by distancing Leto's Joker with something radically different. But they made him so different he wasn't even the Joker anymore. Dreadlock Joker from The Batman was a far better take on a 'different' Joker than Jared Leto's one. I'm still not big on all these characters coming back to life like it's no big deal, but it was a nice touch with a nod to New 52 Joker's face.
