Det har været nogle lidt rodede år for DC Comics' og Warner Bros' store filmunivers, for hvor nogle film har skuffet, så har andre klaret sig fortrinligt, og det har desuden været svært at holde fast på ét sæt skuespillere, og skabe en holdbar plan. Det betyder nu, at Warner Bros. har besluttet at tage et skridt tilbage, og lave flere enkeltstående film i stedet for.
I et interview med LA Times fortæller CEO for Warner Bros., Kevin Tsujihara, at vi kommer til at se en anden stil fremadrettet.
The upcoming slate, with Shazam!, Joker, Wonder Woman 1984 and Birds of Prey, feels like we're on the right track. We have the right people in the right jobs working on it. The universe isn't as connected as we thought it was going to be five years ago."
"You're seeing much more focus on individual experiences around individual characters. That's not to say we won't at some point come back to that notion of a more connected universe. But it feels like that's the right strategy for us right now."
