Discussion Franchise / DCCinematicUniverse

A couple things.

First, shouldn't this be under the Film/ namespace? I mean, the MCU is Franchise/ because it's got Agents of Shield and Comic Book Tie-Ins, while this has gone out of its way to say that the TV series are not part of the franchise. The closest thing to another medium being involved is a movie that's rumored to be coming eventually (as in, not officially announced) won't contradict the Constantine series.

Secondly, is this kosher?:

• Throw the Dog a Bone: On a meta level, these movies have been helpful to actors and characters.
  • Henry Cavill was infamous from getting snubbed on getting major roles from various studios in favor of other actors, most notably by Robert Pattinson for the role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight film series (which even surprised series creator Stephenie Meyer, who initially thought that Cavill fit the bill better). That all changed when Zack Snyder hired him to play Superman.
  • Wonder Woman finally getting to appear in a live-action film after years of the movie project going nowhere - especially considering that Warner Bros. executives were on the fence about letting her have a movie, leading to the now infamous Tweet from Brett White about how DC didn't want to do Wonder Woman because it was too confusing, while Marvel was working on Guardians of the Galaxy, which has a racoon using machine guns. Taken even further once it was confirmed that she would be getting a standalone film before Marvel could release a female-led movie.^note Marvel announced a Captain Marvel movie starring Carol Danvers, though it is due to be released after the Wonder Woman film

It seems like shoehorning to a degree we don't usually like on main pages.
