Who Would Really Be Upset if DC Just Started Over With Their Cinematic Universe?

While this may cause nausea with my Ohio brethren, I am a lifelong Michigan Wolverines fan. To say that our football program over the last few years has been tumultuous is like saying that the plot of Batman V Superman had some mild narrative challenges. Back in 2011, Rich Rodriguez was fired as the Head Coach of the Michigan Football team, my best friend called me and said, “Listen, if they don’t get Jim Harbaugh to coach, they might as well shut down the program. Just tell them *&$#$ to take a couple years off.” Well, they eventually got Harbaugh, it was not immediately. Instead, they went with Brady Hoke. After a good first season, it was a lightweight disaster as well. And while it seemed absurd at the time, the suggestion that the winningest program in college football history shut down its program because of its head coaching woes almost, kinda made sense. Especially if it meant just struggle-busing its way through the next few years. I’m reminded of this hilarious and poignant moment from my friend, now, as news surfaces that there is, in fact, a Joker standalone movie moving forward and that reportedly (but not confirmed by Warner Bros) that Joaquin Phoenix will star in a standalone film. I return to what I often say when I, the person who prides themselves on having an answer for just about anything, has no answers left: What are we…what are we even doing man?

Surely, there are kids decorating a lemonade stand that had better long-term plans than this. I love the Jo…
