Superman: Dawn of Justice hasn't even come out, but we're already making judgements about the film's quality as if it's been out for three months. Suicide Squad has released two trailers, and everyone's focusing on the negative aspects of the trailer that line up with their complaints about Man of Steel and end up ignoring the sense of fun that the trailer has.

And as for the comics—most of them have gotten a lot better thanks to the DCYou initiative. Dr. Fate, Batgirl, Action Comics, Superman, Batman, Prez, Grayson, Justice League—these are some of the best comics DC's published in the past few years. The only book that's gotten worse, really, is Wonder Woman.But there are so many other series to read—I haven't even written half of them down.

I get being wary of DC's work, but I don't think it should come at the cost of the good they're doing, too.

No. They haven't. Take it from me, I'm a retailer. Why do you think DC almost immediately backed off that idiotic "DC You" initiative? It failed. Sales were dismal line wide on the new titles created as a part of it. Hence why nearly all of them were caned or are scheduled to be. Great that you enjoy them. Have a good time. But they simply are not successful. The market has proven that. Higher ups at DC have been sceptical of it from the start and rightfully so as it turned out. You enjoying them and them actually being better are not relative ideas.

And I see nothing wrong with being skeptical of a universe built on one awful film (man of steel) and trailers which present more of the same that it did. Totally unrecognizable and un-enjoyable versions of characters we all know and love.
