DC comics kicked off their cinematic universe with Man of Steel in 2013. I was extremely thrilled because I have been a lifelong DC fan and I waited my whole life for this cinematic universe. But everything has its goods and bads so does DCEU. DC started its universe to give competition to Marvel who has had its own universe started in 2008. DC was a bit late as compared to Marvel but it’s better late than never. DC fans were waiting for this universe for years and finally it is coming on big screen. DC kicked off with Man of Steel as their first movie. The movie received mixed reviews from critics. It was bashed for being too dark and showing extreme destruction in the end.
