Is the DCEU in trouble?

This weekend has seen Marvel Studios thirteenth movie installment in its much coveted Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Civil War release in theaters to almost universal acclaim from critics and fans. Which is something Warner Bros and DC's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice failed to attain when it was released at the end of March. While Batman v Superman may have failed to deliver the onscreen battle of the Titans fans relly wanted it did try it's up-most to establish the journey the characters would be taking in the planned series of movies to be released up until 2020. Fans have been excited at the possible prospect of a big screen adaptation of narrative seen in the recent Injustice: Gods Among Us video game in which Superman becomes the threat humanity feared he could become.

Following the controversial climax of 2013's Man of Steel and the lackluster response to Batman v Superman, a lot of pressure now shifts towards this summer's Suicide Squad as well as the forthcoming Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman and Justice League movies. While fans are looking forward to Margot Robbie's turn as Harley Quinn and while production on Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman movie progresses smoothly recent news from THR that Seth Graeme-Smith will no longer direct The Flash movie and similar news from BMD that James Wan is struggling with adapting Aquaman for the big screen.

Could this be the beginning of the unraveling of Warner Bros and DC's plans to compete with Marvel Studios record-breaking series of movies and TV serials? Has Warner Bros and DC's plans to not include the highly successful DC TV Universe added needless segregation among fans? Have Warner Bros and DC relied too heavily on Zack Snyder and their headline acts; Batman and Superman?

Um... Yes!

Not much else I can say. Trouble, Snyder, TV segregation... All points. Yes. It's in trouble.
