With the subject of the DCEU boot itself being a divisive matter , addressing this in the narration also risked make a moving picture the focal decimal point of this division , and adding further fire to logical argument about the issue . or else , wrapping up what installment were in the works offered a unlike form of resolution to the franchise - one that still pull up stakes a lot of mysteries up in the air , but that also tried to give films likeAquaman : The Lost Kingdomspace off from the DCEU ’s complex real - world context alternatively of force it to pore in on the matter even further .
