This weekend, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice finally arrived in theaters. Despite mixed reception from fans and critics, the film is going to perform wonderfully at the box office.

She reaffirms that each installment is different from the other; for example, Suicide Squad differs in tone and color palette from Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman.

Over the years, fans have debated the idea of DC’s television shows, including The Flash, potentially crossing over with the cinematic DC Extended Universe. Warner Bros. confirmed years ago that such a crossover isn’t happening, but it’s still a frequent talking point for some reason. For example, Grant Gustin will not reprise his role as The Flash for the DCEU. Instead, Ezra Miller will play the cinematic version of Barry Allen.

Quite frankly, the show’s tone wouldn’t have worked well within the greater DCEU. “I just don’t think it was a good…

The former is the official big bad of the movie, while the latter was the brute force that Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman have to defeat.
