Dude, a flop is something that lost money. None of those movies lost money, thus the DCEU wasn't flopping for a decade and continued making movies because they were making money. It has nothing to do with comparisons.

The DCEU is flopping now, as in losing money. Words have meanings.

"Flop" has long since also applied to movies that barely broke even, not just lost money. Whether a movie is a flop or not is dependent on expectations. The DC movies were expected to do much better than they did, thus, several of them were considered "flops."

EDIT: For example. WW84 technically didn't lose money, but it was still considered a flop. And it's why, now, anytime WW84's performance is talked about, the corporate tactic is to say "Well, it did well on streaming!"
