To be fair, DC / WB are in a much stronger position than Sony with the new Spiderman films. WB are more professional in theoir approach, have previous in how to correctly handle comic book films, and have thought this through. Sony went with a knee jewrk reaction to the demise of Raimi's relationship with them and jumped straight into a new 'vision', believing they had a plan, they clearly didn't, and Arad meddles way too much in the productions. WB clearly have faith in Snyder and what he is launching and looking at directors that will add value to their films.
WB have clearly had a plan all these years and have been patient in it's execuation.

WB/DC has had enough experience with many failed DC movies, cancelled DC movies, delayed DC movies and badly written DC projects (more than any other studio), to learn at least something about what needs to be avoided while making a cbm, let's hope they get it right.
Looking at the slate again, I think WB is reserving the right to insert Batman or Superman movies where necessary. After Marvel laid it's cards out I think WB finds itself in that position of advantage to really optimize just where to drop their hammers so to speak.
Also, I think if WB reserves the right to pull a crisis type event and not only pull in Grant Gustin if that seems like a good idea but more importantly, they can recast and retool anything that's not really working by way of a crisis like swap out yet still have it appear in organic continuity. For example if Ben is done after the league movies, then a crisis like event allows for a 'new batman' ala 52.
Seems possible anyways.
you sound like the going cliche for the WB exec with that statment, not the go getter ambitious nothing is impossible lads running the mcu right now.A crisis style event I think would be a complete disaster on film.
It's not about not giving them credit, it's about setting it up in the first place. An infinite crisis type scenario only works if you've got alternate versions of other characters already at play in the same medium. You can't just thrown the idea of multiple Superman's across a multiverse on people in one film, nor can you build up to it on film to any great degree because WB aren't going to make 'Earth 2' based stories. In order for it to work you need multiple universes running concurrently, and I'm sorry but the TV shows aren't good enough to warrant that on film.

there are so many great stories to be told other than crisis style event.
Very good post.To be fair with WB, despite people for the longest time saying "WB is dragging their feet, they have no plan etc etc etc." people have to remember that for a long time WB had a LOT of false starts and had very good reason to be apprehensive about DC properties not named Batman. If Green Lantern had been a success we probably would have already had a Flash and WW movie with sequels on the way. WB and DC were VERY excited about Green Lantern and you could tell by the marketing that they were confident that that would be their launching pad and it just didn't work out.
Couple that with Superman Returns' mediocre reception, Catwoman and Jonah Hex being huge flops, the Wonder Woman and Aquaman pilots not taking off....the fact is WB has been trying for a long time to get the DC properties off the ground but it just wasn't working. Now, because of MAN OF STEEL and ARROW, we FINALLY have a solid launching pad for live action properties in movies and tv and you can tell WB is wasting NO time and striking the iron while its hot with all these new tv shows coming out and quickly gearing towards the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie. Quite simply, WB has been wanting to do this for a long time but now they have solid grounds to do so.
