I suppose it could be passable then.
Notice this: WB is Time-Warner right? Who also own DC comics (this is why Superman/Batman adventures and Batman Beyond are Kids WB cartoons). So this is why DC Superhero movies are all made by WB. This, I suspect is why they have been so bad in the past. In Marvel's case, it's not owned by a media giant, so there's actual competition for their titles. That's why Blade and Spider-Man and X-Men and Hulk are made by different companies (New Line, Sony/Columbia, Fox, and Universal, respectively) and turned out so well. Of course, you still get a few duds like Daredevil (but come on, it was at LEAST as good as Batman 2), but on the whole competition has been good for Marvel. But the last several DC movies like Catwoman, Batman Forever, and Steel (anyone remember Steel? Yeah, I thought so) have been crappers.
I realize there's a lot left unexplained by this theory, and it's just in progress, but I think I see a connection. AOL KILLS EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES! (no, not that, AOL came in AFTER the crappy movies come out).
