Justice League - DC's Most Unwanted Criminal

The DCEU hasn't all been doom and gloom. I’ll defend Man of Steel as much as Superman would defend Earth. Wonder Woman was also a welcome delight, and to quote myself, was certainly the hero the franchise didn’t deserve. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad (call me two-faced but I didn't hate the latter so much at the time), however, remain the real villains of the series, and whose incoherent and laughable plots played out like riddles or jokes. But now, Justice League commits more crimes than you’d see in Downtown Gotham on a Saturday night. I may not be the greatest detective in the world, but these atrocities are more obvious than a psychopath in clown make-up. 

The Suicide Squad Might Not Be The Heroes DC Deserves, But They're The Heroes It Needs...

Thirteen movies into the MCU, and Warner Bros. lands just its third “DC Verse” entry, making it clear who the tortoise in this race is. Since the release of Iron Man in 2008, Marvel have invested incredibly well, taking their time to establish the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” and never once rushing a release. But it would be a lie to say that they haven’t stuffed their films with adverts for future instalments, as it would be to say that every one of their films to date has been great. Nevertheless, while Marvel have been busy conquering the real universe, Warner Bros. have been desperately trying to catch up, with this year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice being stuffed to the point of suffocation itself with its less-than-subtle foreshadowing for next year’s Justice League movie - DC’s answer to Marvel’s Avengers Assemble.
