With the runaway success of the extended Marvel Universe in film, you'd think DC would be copying everything Marvel did that was successful. They may have been slow on the uptake - or maybe they were absolutely certain that their way was better - but finally, the DC universe is starting to get a slate of films worthy of bringing their vast stable of interesting characters to life.

Insisting that women couldn't be the stars of films was the first mistake that DC - and to be fair, Marvel - made in their outdated assumptions. Wonder Woman proved that by smashing box office records. There are few films more eagerly anticipated than the Wonder Woman sequel film - Wonder Woman 1984 - except perhaps Marvel's Black Widow film starring Scarlett Johansen. Another gigantic hit was Marvel's Captain Marvel, which did very well indeed, ranking in the top 30 for all-time box office earnings, drawing almost half again as much revenue as Wonder Woman.
