Has there ever been a cinematic universe quite like the DCEU? Plagued with issues throughout its decade-long run, being a fan of the beleaguered franchise was sometimes more of an endurance test than a hobby. And yet, despite it all, I'm sincerely going to miss the messy, ridiculous, glorious DCEU.
Going into The Flash, I knew this would be something of a last hurrah for the characters and the world I know and love; after all, James Gunn and Peter Safran are wiping most of the slate clean in 2025, when DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters begins (a new Batman and Superman are incoming, for example).
