And why the sudden distrust with DC? Are the approaching the Man of Steel sequel the wrong way? Yeah. But you all act like Zach Synder, so was mainly responsible for Man of Steel, is gonna direct all of these movies.

I wouldn't call the distrust in DC sudden, it's been happening for a while.

The problem is with David S. Goyer and Zach Snyder. They have control over the big three in one movie, only one of those characters has any established backstory in the universe and it was largely disliked and at best mixed. Anything, anything that goes wrong will be echoed in all connected movies, it doesn't matter if a standalone Wonder Woman movie has a completely different team, or if a Flash movie has a different team. Screwing up here is going to do a lot of damage.

This is a key difference Marvel has done differently. Look at something like The Incredible Hulk, it failed but it didn't do much harm nor was it a particular bad movie even. It certainly wasn't going to prevent people from seeing another Marvel film.
Having individuals films allows mistakes, having different directors and writers adds variety. They never risked screwing up multiple big name characters while laying groundwork.

And we're getting four characters handled by a team that missed the point of Superman.

I believe this is because WB lacks focus. Comics Alliance has an interesting article on the matter, but it boils down to Marvel Studios acting independently and taking more risks because they have to. You don't have people worrying about Disney films dealing with Captain America, or people unfamiliar with works questioning the ridiculousness of a talking animal in live action.

WB doesn't have that. WB has people that think Green Arrow and Green Lantern are the same person.
