WB created DC Entertainment a few years ago to develop DC comic franchises into successful movie series, but so far DC has still lagged behind Marvel in terms of producing successful movies. Now of course, the Nolan Batman movies are insanely successful both financially and in terms of critical acclaim, but besides that DC hasn't had a lot of success in producing popular movies for the last decade. Superman Returns was a disappointment, Catwoman was one of the most wretched super hero movies out there, Jonah Hex was a major bomb. Green Lantern, the film that was WB's big hope being a starting point to launch a bunch of DC related movies, was both a critical and financial disappointment.
So what should DC do with their franchises to make them more successful? Its a little late now, but I think they should have made movies about the Flash and Wonder Woman before Green Lantern, both of those characters have powers that translate better to film and it would have been less expensive to bring them to the big screen.
