Warner Bros. Needs A Drastic Overhaul Where DC Is Concerned

I can't for the life of me understand how or why the execs in charge at Warner Bros. are screwing up everything they get their hands on regarding DC. The fact that the only two successful characters that have translated to the silver screen have been Batman and Superman bothers me. In the grand scheme of things, they own the rights to 3 of the most well known superheroes globally. You don't even have to be a comic book fan or reader to know who Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are. Everybody knows who they are and yet bringing these characters to life has proven to be very difficult for the studio. Why?

Could it be that the people in charge have no idea what they are doing? Or maybe they don't read comic books and haven't a clue what they are truly sitting on. Marvel has successfully launched project after project while DC projects are still in development or have seen disastrous results. Warner Bros. needs to hire people who understand the dynamics of the comic book genre, people who are willing to think and go outside of the box when it comes to execution. There is no legitimate reason why there hasn't been a Justice League movie yet, no reason why it's so difficult to bring Wonder Woman to the big or small screen. There are tons of examples of strong female lead characters being successful on TV and in the movies, Xena, Lara Croft, Resident Evil, Buffy, and Charlie's Angels to name a few.

It's not rocket science! It's just that it's becoming quite painful to see the DC legacy being ruined by a studio that is proving itself to be inept when it comes to comic book storytelling. The blueprints are there already, duh! The comic books and the Justice League cartoons are perfect examples of what to do. Is it just me?
