I remember when Green Lantern was supposed to be the sign of the end of superhero movies. Also, one of the X-Men movies (either the third one or the Wolverine origin one, I forget which) and I'm pretty sure one of the pre-MCU Spider-Men had the starting pistol for the end of superhero cinema as well. People don't really get sick of a genre; they get sick of bad movies. And say what you will about the MCU product as a whole, there's no denying that Feige knows how to get the right people to the right projects and how to pace releases. If anyone has the standing to actually make this claim, it's him.

Honestly a lot of Marvel movies have felt like soulless cash grabs, and DC does not have a great track record with their creative decisions. The bigger, sprawling stories just don't work as well in the more limited medium or are poorly adapted to a point where they really should have just made an original story instead. Then there are the original stories that feel like they miss the point of the character or ignore some integral element, and it doesn't feel right.
