    @chrisisall, I never knew Darkseid was even considered to appear, but I wish we got some hint.

    One scene that I think really would've helped the movie along immensely would've been if we actually saw the moment where Steppenwolf was given his marching orders from Darkseid (hidden in shadow beyond his red eyes, us hearing only his voice) to attack earth again to claim it using the Mother Boxes. The New Gods could've cameoed to tease future appearances, Steppenwolf's motivations would've been more solid and Darkseid could've even said a line to point to the previous film and why Steppenwolf is doing what he's doing

    Darkseid: "Luthor proved to be an exceptional pawn, even for a terrestrial. His Doomsday creation took the Last Son of Krypton off the game board, leaving us open to claim checkmate."

    I have seen both 40s serials and I recommend them to anyone with a genuine interest in Batman.

    Justice league second viewing.

    BAD BAD CGI.

    Flash suit horrible

    Too much forced comedy

    Not enough action

    No DS?!! (They cut it)

    Editing and writing horrible.

    Rushed!

    Seriously what more can I say.
    Waited twenty years just to be let down.. I could write a better plot than that piece of crap!!

    BAD BAD CGI. Wasn't all bad, but enough that I can't disagree too much.

    Flash suit horrible Here I disagree- it's a different and plausible take IMO.

    Too much forced comedy I was smiling a lot, so again I disagree.

    Not enough action Really? I thought it was just enough. Imagine a Zak version with as much action but an hour longer...

    No DS?!! (They cut it) To make it a stand alone and not a cliffhanger.

    Editing and writing horrible. Uneven but NOT horrible.

    Rushed! Totally.

    Seriously what more can I say.

    It was a salvage op, and considering that, I was pleasantly surprised. At least it wasn't the faux-serious crap from MOS or BVS.

    The Flash running no idea what's going on there, and Cavil I really hope they do something to the invisible tash for the Bluray version. Unfortunately I find JL mediocre too

    Like i said I enjoyed Justice League was it as brilliant as BVS no but it’s not that bad...

    It still amazes me that Batman (and a few other franchises if I were to be honest specifically Macgyver Highlander etc) should easily be like 007 and up to film 24 and yet WB still has not found a way to 007 their Batman... it’s odd

    Pretty much in agreement, @CASINOROYALE. At least we have the animated JLA shows from the early 2000s, right? Those shows will give me solace, especially since Justice League showed me that it may be impossible to film these heroes without the final product coming off as awkward and forced, or even corny.

    Somehow Nolan (and Burton too, to give him credit) have been the only directors to avoid making the DC costumed heroes seem weird in live action, with a shout out to Donner as well for the old days. Patty Jenkins did great with WW as well, but I don't really view Diana as a costumed hero in the way I do with Superman and Batman.

    Is this a real thing?

    All it needs is the slogan: "Gillette—a super razor for super-staches."

    Or: "The only thing apart from kryptonite strong enough for Kryptonian whiskers."

    I don't even count the cosplayers, making the number even more hilarious.

    Also, what the hell is up with Batman? Red Hood is just to his left and he's not doing a damn thing about it. Crusader my arse.

    I wonder if Joss is still keeping his Batgirl job after how JL has gone? I've not heard any updates about that.

    The DC slate is difficult to take serious and now with a new DC head Walter Hamada I expect any film not in production as possibly being ditched, I expect the new DC president to course correct again.

    Can't wait for the next critical and/or financial bomb of the DCEU that will see this guy lose his job and another fill his place to launch another future failure of a course correction!

    I would not bet against it, I just wish they would make good stand alone films.

    Can someone please explain why they're holding out hope for a Snyder cut? I was always under the impression he didn't even craft a finished product before having to step away, but maybe I'm wrong. I keep seeing this petition talk everywhere and don't understand it. I've just assumed one would never exist if key scenes were only shot by Joss.

    Hard to do when WB decided to shoot in reverse order.

    @Creasy47, that's been my understanding as well, basically. That Snyder's work didn't have effects done on it yet and a lot was unpolished. And with how poorly the film did at the box office, WB aren't going to shell out more money to finish what Snyder left. At best his pre-effects work will be a special feature on a future blu-ray, but there will never be a true Snyder cut.

    Pretty much in agreement, @CASINOROYALE. At least we have the animated JLA shows from the early 2000s, right?

    And Superman: The Animated Series, whose two-part sagas "Apokolips... Now!" and "Legacy" showed how to do an epic alien-invasion story with Steppenwolf and Darkseid and how to follow it up. I doubt any live action film will ever do a better job--animation is the proper home of superheroes, especially when made by people like Timm and Dini and company.

    Oh yes, S:TAS was a fantastic follow-up to B:TAS. Still one of the best representations of Superman for my money. Those two-parters you cited were incredible—as was the origin three-parter "The Last Son of Krypton" and any number of others, including "Brave New Metropolis," "Stolen Memories," and "Ghost in the Machine."

    (And while I may be the minority, I'm particularly fond of Timm and Dini's Batman Beyond.)
