The DC Extended Universe was set to rival the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but its track record hasn’t been quite as successful. As time went on, the films started becoming more standalone and only contained smaller references to the wider universe and story. This was made even more clear when Joker and The Batman shed off all their DCEU connections and began telling their own stories.Despite that, there is still a lot to enjoy in the collection of films that began with 2013’s Man of Steel.
