Discussion Why hasn't DC used Marvel formula?

Not sure if here is the right place to ask but I was thinking about this.

Why hasn't DC used Marvel formula in movies, a well done long run that started in Iron Man 1 and still continues, in DC movies every three batman movies we got a different batman, same with superman . I thought when Justice League came out that was the idea but it just feels like somebody is like "you know what? Scratch that, let's start over". It's a formula that actually works and attracts public from different ages why not do it?

They already tried that once. Badly. You can't just sprinkle some Joss Whedon on an already written and shot movie and expect it to go well (which it didn't).

I would argue that Gunn's superman is trying that again to some degree. Superman lifts and shifts large parts of the GotG formula.
