The DCEU Reimagined (2013-Present)

Upon a request and seeing how well my MCU Reimagining is doing, what if the DCEU was different from the one we got. The Main differences of the project would be 1. DC will take it slow and steady instead of trying to play catch up with Marvel so fast 2. Additional Films and Shows will be made to strengthen the universe (canceled ones and ones I think would've been cool) 3. Similar to the MCU, each film will be split into phases 4. A FEW of the characters would be recasted (cannot emphasis that enough. Not all of them, only a few) 5. Every Director and Writer for each project would be able to work together to better streamline things and make sure everything is consistent 6. Elements of the New DC Cinematic Universe will also be used. 7. This is more of a request from myself, PLEASE keep things civil in the comments and while suggesting. This is all just a What If Scenario, an alternate universe.
