why did this fail? I watched the cartoon and read all of the tie-in books, it was superb. Is it because autists didn't like the mexican superman?

The dark tone was offputting and many incorrectly assumed the series would be edgy tryhard garbage.
Mind you it came out when DC was at full Snyder and there's been a lot of blowback towards that.

Casuals didn't like that it featured new characters, so it had low sales and discouraged future attempts.

They were the same characters, just different.
Did it fail? It's hard to tell how well any of these DTV movies do relative to each other.

As learned from Wonder Woman, anything that sells even a single dollar less than Batman or JL is a failure, even if it ends up making more money over time and outdoes you current Batman/JL drivel.

>people feared that it would be extremely dark and edgy
>it's an AU

lots of reasons it failed

Not even that. They were literally already existing characters but written with a differing backstory/personal history. And it worked well.

>not based on an existing story
Justice League War was based on an existing story and that was hot garbage and easily the worst DC animated movie since before New Frontier started their current line(well I guess current current started with War but hopefully I'm making sense).
