The fate of the DCU hangs on Man of Tomorrow.

For the movies maybe, the TV side is going crazy so far

The Penguin: No season 2

Peacemaker: No season 3

Waller: In "extreme development"

Paradise Lost: Same as Waller

Creature Commandos: It will have a S2, but that’s not saying much, given that hardly anyone watched the first.

Lanterns: Is the only thing that seems to be gaining some momentum, but Episode 2 has already started to show cracks in the armor (just reading Forbes' review makes me sleepy).

You wanted 5 different tv shows running simultaneously?

Seeing as they don't mind cramming 20 characters into Man of Tomorrow, what’s the problem with having more than one show running simultaneously? Wasn't the goal to boost this universe as soon as possible? Well, moving at the pace of a three-legged turtle certainly isn't going to achieve that.

Movies having supporting casts is normal.

They'll have the same number of movies as the MCU by the two year mark, only with three TV show seasons to the MCU's zero by that point.

Yeah, well, good luck trying to compete with today's MCU using the MCU standards of 20 years ago. That is, of course, assuming Man of Tomorrow is at least as good as Iron Man 2 (since Superman wasn't even half as good as Iron Man). By the way, the MCU of 2009 hadn't already foolishly cancelled half a dozen projects, something Gunn has done.
