nothing but the rain

Why are all of the recent female-led superhero movies prequels? I get the first Wonder Woman being set in the past, the WB was still trying to stick to Snyder's bullshit timeline, and my feelings about the timing of the Black Widow movie are clear. But the rest? Idk, at least Birds of Prey for all its faults (lack of Oracle, butchering of Cassandra's origin) doesn't appear to be set in the 1970s or something.

But! Bright colors! Decent lighting! Pedro Pascal in a bad wig! The best Chris inexplicably back from the dead!
