I don't know. They've only made two movies in this universe. We'll see what Suicide Squad does. It's definitely not a roster of their best characters. Only a few are known by casual fans. I have my fingers crossed that it's a good movie. Nobody (aside from blind fanboys, I guess) actually wants a movie to be bad.
*edit* I see where I said Iron Man wasn't an "A-List character". I may have misspoken. In the 90's ( when they said comics sucked but it's when I got into comics), it was all about X-Men characters and Spider-man at Marvel comics. That's why they got guys like Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld to reboot the " non mutant " heroes in the Heroes Reborn storyline. When they did "Heroes Return", the Avengers were a big deal again. There's probably a thousand heroes in the Avengers but (just like how Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the JLA's " Trinity "), Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man have been the " Trinity". Iron Man was an important guy but, for a period between maybe 1997-2006, his stories weren't very memorable. He was like Silver Surfer or Dr. Strange. People knew him and he even had his own cartoons but they didn't really care about him. He wasn't an icon, imo.

The film editor admitted that the original cut of the movie was supposed to be four hours long. Thats probably why when they edited it for theatrical status he had holes. A very flawed film. This backs my statement that the movie had holes and had too many storylines in one film. It could've been split up between two years but DC is so behind.
Marvel is focused and they are doing their own thing which DC is trying but struggling to emulate. Iron Man was a popular character in the 90's but the 90's as you said was the era of the Xmen. It was the comic of a generation of teens with attitude isues and a the liberal philosophy of civil rights.

There's only one story in BvS. And it's quite an easy film to follow.
