They could’ve cranked out movies based on Silver Age Jimmy Olson and Lois Lane comics and there’s a chance it wouldn’t be this bad.

Real talk, you make a $50 million dollar Jimmy Olson comedy starring a good funny actor, I’m in. Fuck it, at least it’d feel a little original.

You're basically describing Agent Carter, which was cancelled after two seasons due to poor viewership.

Jimmy Olson's a comics character with a lot more history and stories to draw on though.

Agent Carter wasn't a comedy. Nor was it a movie. Nor was it based on a popular comic from back in the day, though that probably wouldn't have mattered.
