In what looks like to be a last ditch effort to preserve the last bit of good will among comic book fans, Warner Brothers has announced that the original line-up for the DC Cinematic Universe will be scrapped and replaced with something else. This means that all the previously released films will be regarded as 'non-canon.'
"Honestly, this whole endeavor was a train wreck from the start. When you only have corporate suits work on superhero movies, it all just becomes one mediocre mess of monotony. What we SHOULD have done is try to appeal to our niche DC fanbase but ever since the new 52, they've lost faith in us. All I can really do is just get on my knees and beg for their money. It gets a little less pathetic the fourth time you do it," said Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics.
"What I really want to focus on in this reboot is making sure that we nail the tone of the film. We were dark before but I really want to make it even darker than before. I want brain splatters in 3D, hardcore nudity and so much grit that Donald Trump's wall is between your eyes and the screen. We have to be careful about crossing into edgy teenage nonsense but Hot Topic will still sell our merchandise so that'll be less worrisome than before."
Although Disney Studios tweeted that they were "excited to see what the future held" for these characters, reports of cheering and general mockery of the DC brand were heard from the studio HQ.
