Hell, i'd happily support it if they end up pulling an Injustice: Gods Among Us given its scale and level of detail. Admittedly, they'd still be very flawed films but it'd at least be right track.<br /><br />Honestly, why they manage to keep getting them so wrong is beyond me. Superman I can get for some reason because people (usually badly misinformed ones) keep claiming they don't like him because he's "too powerful" or "unrelatable" or "too good". As such they end up ignoring him in favour of Batman, until some creators unfortunately end up downgrading his powers or try to make him darker in order to garner sales. The rest though, your guess is as good as mine. Turning Batman into a gun wielding zealot was a bizzare move on Snyder's part given how massive a comics fan the guy is, and even Wonder Woman seemed a bit "off" in her brief appearances. Even if the negative reviews aren't getting through, we can only hope the massive box office drop off for their supposedly mega-hits might serve as a wake-up call to Warner Bros.Bellariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652722543111095280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-83336659317062277192016-08-10T10:45:21.825+01:002016-08-10T10:45:21.825+01:00Wouldn't it be awesome if instead of the new J...Wouldn't it be awesome if instead of the new Justice League being formed, it turned out Warner Bros. was pulling a bait and switch the entire time and had the movie and the entire organization titled "Justice Lords"?<br /><br />At the very least it would explain to me why nobody was in character compared to their usual incarnation, it would also explain why everyone thinks the ends justify the means (and vice versa), even if it's out of character for the Lords it would at least be clear DC is trying to distance the films and then people could look at them in their own poorly written light, rather than spend most of the time (quite rightly) pointing out why all of the characters don't act like themselves (that also includes me, as I'm still stunned at what they did to Batman).grdaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722216755745063033noreply@blogger.com
