The DCEU movie is one of the few that is truly independent from the rest of the timeline, like Joker, he undoubtedly benefited from an unprecedented freedom. AT the time when the other feature films in the universe are still struggling to convince, Wonder-Woman 1984 is the perfect example, The batman has strong arguments to establish itself as the success that the DC Universe lacks to really play in the same court as Marvel, at least at the box office, especially since Batman is still one of the superheroes. favorite among fans of the genre.
