I absolutely loved the new Batman film. The directing of Matt Reeves, as well as the cinematography for it, it is something about DC films that is absent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In one swoop, Matt Reeves made The Batman, a film I believe is better than any film Marvel has ever created (barring, maybe, the first couple Raimi Spider-Man's), and it's because it allowed creative liberty and visual finesse.
In general, I like the Marvel Cinematic Universe more than the DC Cinematic Universe. In terms of cohesion and consistency, I have a lot of fun with Marvel. I like nearly Marvel film I see (some, even, I really like). I feel like, even when I dislike a Marvel film, I still kind of like it. A lot of the times, it feels like the opposite is true about DC. Even when I like something they do, I still kind of dislike it.
I was on-board for a lot of it. I was alright with Man of Steel, and I actually liked Batman v. Superman, but I always liked them in spite of themselves, if that makes sense. When a Marvel movie is bad, it still has that likability about it. When a DC movie is good, it still has that unlikability about it. I despised Suicide Squad and the Justice League film, and I disliked Aqua-Man. Birds of Prey was okay and The Suicide Squad was solid, but neither is a film I can see myself looking into again, same can be said about the first Shazam. Wonder Woman was solid. Its sequel was bad.
The Snyder cut of the Justice League was very good, in my opinion. That's an example of the type of grandiose ambition I believe DC has that Marvel simply doesn't.
