Is Justice League worth the watch or is the DCEU dead?
[WPGP gif_id=”9283″ width=”600″]
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Before I get into it, I will say that I think that the film is a mess. The fact that it’s only 2 hours long when Batman V Superman gets to be a 3 hour or 2/30 hour movie depending on which version you watch, really hurts this film so much. It gets to the point where you feel like there could have been more done with it if WB would have just given the directors more time to work with.
Anyways, rant over. I’m not gonna go too much into detail with the story because it is kind of simple and I want to get this review out fast so I can go back to working on other reviews.
The movie is about Batman (Ben Affleck), gathering together the Justice League after encountering a Parademon. Batman slowly gathers all six members including Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). Batman brings the league together in order to stop Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds), who is gathering the three Motherboxes he needs to create the unity. The unity is what happens when you combine the three Motherboxes together so that they can transform wherever they are into Apokolips. Steppenwolf has already gone to Themyscria and Atlantis for two of the Motherboxes and sets his sights on the third, which is with Cyborg. After the Justice League battles Steppenwolf for the first time and gets their asses kicked, they decided to use the last Motherbox they have to resurrect Superman (Henry Cavil). They succeed in bringing back Superman but he isn’t very happy about it. He fights the team and kicks their asses until Lois Lane (Amy Adams), is able to stop the fight and Superman takes her away back to Kansas. Steppenwolf gets the last Motherbox while the Justice League is distracted by Superman, and combines the three to start the Unity. This leads the Justice League to travel to Russia and stop Steppenwolf from transforming the world. Steppenwolf clearly has the upper hand and when all seems lost, Superman joins the fight and helps the League win and save the day. After they stop Steppenwolf, everyone goes their separate ways and it seems like the world is saved…… until the next invasion.
The acting in this movie is great, Justice League has a well-rounded cast with everyone doing a great job. Even when they had to come back for multiple reshoots, you can tell they are enjoying themselves and no one looks out of place (Except for Steppenwolf, he is bad).
The villain in this movie is just ugly and bad. Steppenwolf is not a good choice for a villain, he is a C-List villain who feels like a cheap version of Darkseid. Just seeing Steppenwolf makes you wish that we got Darkseid instead of the ugly Steppenwolf.
The editing in this movie can also feel very jarring and choppy at times. When you watch the movie, you can tell that some scenes were really cut up to save time and this makes them feel rushed and it really does hurt the film. That is the overall feeling you will have when watching and after the movie is done. WB really did screw things up with Justice League and was so desperate for a hit that they ended up making fools of themselves instead.
Now, let us move on to the special features. Justice League is packed with specials but the biggest one that is a selling point for the movie are the extra scenes that were not shown in theatres. There are 2 scenes, one where Superman goes to his fortress and we get to see his different suits (Including the Black Suit!), and the other one showing Superman going to Alfred. The second clip was shown in the trailers but of course, it didn’t make the cut. These scenes are short and feel like they are tacked on just to sell the movie to fans who want more (Like me). I feel like they should have just put these in the actual film because they are so short and cool that they would have fit right in without taking away too much from the movie itself.
Overall, it’s really hard to recommend this movie. I would still recommend it and out of all the DCEU movies we have gotten, this one is my favourite (Sorry Wonder Woman, you are second). I really do like what we got from the movie and I think that it’s fine on its own. However, for the people who have been burned too many times from the DCEU, I don’t see how this movie will change your mind. I still say to give it a watch but, I’m not gonna force you too.
The Verdict:
Justice League is a mess, it really hurts to say that as a DC fan. However, I have seen the movie enough times now that I feel I can say that but, I do enjoy the movie. The story is simple, the heroes are great, and the CGI is also good. The villain sucks and the runtime also sucks because it feels like there is more to this movie that the studio doesn’t want to give us. With that being said, Justice League is still a fun time and I would still recommend you pick it up if you haven’t seen it or have already watched it. Just don’t go in expecting the best movie in the world because this movie doesn’t reach that league.
7/10
Let’s hope that WB can learn from their mistakes and make the DCEU or just DC movies in general, great again!

NYCC: The Justice League Trailer is HERE
Thank you, New York Comic-Con.
As much as people complain about the DCEU, one has to admit, they always deliver one heck of a trailer.
Yes, people, the Justice League Heroes Trailer has dropped and it checks almost every box.
I say almost because there is still no sign of Dark Superman, although we do get both a look at Henry Cavil and a black Superman logo.
Other than that, the three-minute trailer is packed with action and filled with nice, funny, and even tender moments between our league of heroes.
Check it out:

Geoff Johns Confirms DCEU Movies Are “100%” Connected
The people over at the DCEU have done a fantastic job confusing all fans about the upcoming slate of movies.
In a recent interview, Geoff Johns said the DCEU post Justice League would stop the need to connect all the stand-alone movies.
The comments were quickly misunderstood by fans, thinking that his comments meant that the different DC movies would not take place in the same universe.
However, this is not the case, as Johns quickly shut down the rumours. What he meant is that the DC movies would have a shared line of events the way Marvel does.

Warner Bros. is, indeed, working on a series of stand-alone spin-offs but for now, our main Justice League characters will stay in the same universe.
The Joker Origin Movie Developing Without Jared Leto
Deadline has reported that a new Joker movie is in the works over at Warner Bros… without Jared Leto.
As we know, Leto was the latest actor to take on the Joker on the silver screen, a role who has been brilliantly played before by Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson. Even though Leto’s performance was criticized by a lot of fans, others admired his work as the character and are genuinely upset to see that he will be left out of the movie.
These fans mustn’t worry, however, Leto is not out of the DCEU as he was confirmed to make appearances in both Suicide Squad 2 and the Harley Quinn solo movie.
Now the question becomes, why is Leto not reprising his role as the Joker in this origin movie? Well, according to the article, this origin movie would be the first of a new set of DC movies that would “expand the canon of DC properties and create unique storylines with different actors playing the iconic characters.”
The Joker origin movie already has some behind-the-camera talent attached. Martin Scorsese (Taxi Drivers, Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street) is set to produce alongside Todd Phillips (The Hangover, War Dogs) who will also direct and co-write with Scott Silver (The Fighter, The Finest Hours).
The movie would be set in the 80s and have a very different feeling from current DC films, leaning more towards the sensation of a Scorsese movie of the same time.
The movie doesn’t have a release date as of now.
Superman’s Appearance in Justice League May Have Just Been Spoiled
POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE AHEAD.
Could Superman show up… in Venezuela?
It’s not rare when toys spoil a comic book movie, especially in the DCEU it seems. Now, the latest instance of this happening seems to be related to the return of Superman in Justice League.
The description of a Funko Figure has potentially given away the exact moment when Superman will come in to help the Justice League.
The Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Flash figures are barely holding their own against invading Parademons and an axe-wielding Steppenwolf. If only Superman — in Funko figure form — was here… LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! Is that…is that Superman?? IT IS! It’s the Superman Justice League Movie Funko Pop Vinyl Figure and it resurrected itself moments before Steppenwolf skewered Wonder Woman with a hefty chunk of Venezuela!
Could this be Zack Snyder’s way of getting rid of the backlash he’s faced for destroying Gotham and Metropolis? Could audiences really care more about the destruction of two fictional cities than the one of a real-life country?
Either way, it seems like Superman will show up during a pivotal moment, just in time to save the day.
This potential spoiler also comes just days after Donald Trump threatened the Venezuelan government with military intervention, so Snyder could be setting himself up for some backlash. However, it’d certainly be interesting to see how he and Joss Whedon portray the country, given Venezuela’s current political instability.
Thanks to a Toy, We Now Have Our Best Look at Justice League‘s Steppenwolf So Far
One of DC’s toys designer shared on Instagram an exclusive look at Justice League‘s Steppenwolf as well as his Parademons.
Steppenwolf will be the main villain in Justice League. He’s the uncle of Darkseid in the comics, who is also set to make an appearance at the beginning of the movie. Steppenwolf is a New God who wields an Electro-axe and has abilities like superstrength and longevity.
