DCEU (Detective Comics Extended Universe) began and continued controversially. Zack Snyder's first film with Henry Caville "Man on steel", inherited from the trilogy of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight, the grim vision of a comic film that doesn't show Superman in his most representative light and colors. "Batman vs Superman: The Dawn of Justice" unravel the audience of people who genuinely hate him, and others who swear by the qualities of this movie, especially in Ultimate Edition: Ben Affleck as Batman and Bruce Wayne , the ideal miracle of Gal Gadot, the richness of mythological and religious references, the murderous soundtrack of Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL and a number of other qualities. The subsequent "Suicide Squad" must be recognized as the first villain movie, and Margo Robbie, like Harley Quinn, is murderous, and even Jared Leto's Joker has his admirers; David Eyer's film could have expanded its full potential if the installation was not so chaotic, and if the Joker had received more and more screen time. "Wonder woman" from 2017 is the first unanimous (critical and cash) success of Warner Bros. DCEU. and DC Comics. Behind him are the convincing Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, the direction of Patty Jenkins ("Monster" with Charlize Therne) and many more pros. After that, the League of Justice is expected to unite for the first time on the big screen Batman, Superman, The Trinity with Flash, Aquamen and Kiborga (which we saw only briefly in "Batman vs. Superman" ) to form "Justice League", which also includes the Green Lantern image in the cartoons, which was defaced by Martin Campbell in the Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds in 2011.

As comics, "Justice League" precedes "Avengers" for 3 years. As a matter of fact, Marvel and DC have often copied, and the similarities between Tanos and Darscape, Detpul and Detrook, Aquamen, and Namor are like proof. In the comic book, Marvel is 12 feet ahead of DC, but DC has Batman and a forthcoming film about him by Matt Reeves, Joker with a possible film produced by Martin Scorsese himself, James Wang's "Aquamen" ("The Conjuring") on December 21 2018, David Sandberg's "Shazam" on April 5, 2019, and maybe we'll see movies like "Justice League Dark" with John Constantine and the more mystical heroes of DC (a movie that was once reserved for Guimermo del Toro), "Gotham City Sirens" with Harley Quinn, the Cat and Poison Ivy and / or "Suicide Squad 2" in which we would see the Rock as a villain of the Black Adam. Also promising is Gareth Evans ("The Raid" and "The Raid 2") for Detroit with Joe Manganelllo, the villain in Ben Affleck, Jeff Jones and Chris Theorie of The Batman. Detstrou can also appear in the forthcoming Nightwing by the director of The LEGO Batman Movie - Chris McKay. There are also talks about Cyborg movies and a team of Green Lanterns, which will not go up to the big screen.

The expectations to "Justice League"may be great, many fans have watched and loved as children the "Justice League" and "Justice League: Unlimited" series (the more recent Justice League: Action is also pretty good) are toys with these characters, played by DC video games (for example, Mark Hamil echoes the Joker), have read phenomenal stories about the League, such as "Justice League": The Tower of Babel, the classic Justice League: New Frontier and the modern Justice League "Of New 52 by Jeff Jones (currently the producer of the DCEU films and "Justice League" respectively) as a name o his interpretation is the leading inspiration behind this film. It is clear that Justice League is the experience of DC and Warner Bros. to duplicate the success of "The Avengers," for which we have already seen not one but two and even more precisely three films (The First Avenger: The War of the Heroes is Undercover Avengers), and numerous superheroes exist in the cinema before: X-Men and even the Fantastic Four. Of course, the sin would be to never see the formation of the League of Justice on a big screen. On the other hand, there are already extremely successful experiments in this sub-genre, such as Deadpool and Logan: The Wolverine, to which Warner Bros. and DC Comics could respond, for example, to the brutal and cynical Lobo. Konstantin with Keanu Reeves of 2005 left a great impression on everyone, it's unclear why DC did not re-cast that hero and even an actor. Frankly speaking, "The League of Justice" is the second gathering of a big screen of the Trinity - Batman, Superman and The Wonder Woman, but this time with the participation of Flash (known to us as CW teenagers), Jason Momoa's Aquamen of "Game on Throne "and Kyborg, which fills the black quota. It was Kimborga that was one of the most disturbing elements in the movie, but the hero was adequately depicted and played by Ray Fisher, and has important narrative features.

"League of Justice" is marked by a tragedy in the life of DCEU architect Zack Snyder. That made the film fall into the hands of Joss Wydon, aka Marvel's Avengers, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Serenity, and a great comic series: "Astonishing X -Men ". Joss Wyden changed Marvel's camp with DC, Justice League Avengers, rewrote the script, filmed and added scenes worth $ 25 million. Wydon was expected to tune up the tone, warm the color range and add to his witty dialogue. And he did just that. According to producer Charles Rowven, about 20% of the film was made by Joss Wydon. But Wydon has changed the "League of Justice" in a way that can not be described as a percentage. The avenger's director replaces the cold and blue colors of Zac Snyder's aesthetics with mostly warm and soft colors. Upon his arrival, Joss Wydon replaced Junkie XL with Danny Elfman, who also worked with him on "The Avengers: The Age of Ultrone", but also on Batman in 1989 with Jack Nicholson (the same Batman's musical theme is now used in " League of Justice"); Wydon has removed unnecessary storylines, including Lex Luther, who is associated with Steppenwolf, and called him to the next stage in the Ultimate Edition of the BvS. Joss Wydon has transformed the League of Justice, and structurally: Zack Snyder's version began with the epic battle between Atlantes, Amazons and people against paradimals, but the "Fellowship of the Ring", and now he's found elsewhere at Wydon. Characters are much more radiant, more optimistic, joke more often. The Structure of "Justice League" is quite similar to the "Avengers" at the individual hero's representations and when assigned to the team. The film itself is just two hours, which is insufficient to build in depth all these superheroes, to have a big enough bet with a well-motivated villain and well-developed minor characters. However, all the superheroes have their own arch, individually and together, the interaction between them works great and it is obvious that the actors themselves have liked and entertained themselves during the filming process. The problems of the League of Justice are of another nature: the villain of the film, for example.

Steppenwolf is a totally unpleasant CGI clown, with a nasty motivation and stupid dialogue, worse than Doomsday and Ares combined. The situation is so frustrating that Joss Wydend himself has a tweak in Twitter, criticizing the villain, one of which reads: "Steppenwolf is the weakest comic villain of all time, and even Malekit is not that bad." In perspective, all the DCEU films have a problem with the villain, and Michael Shannon's General Zod, and Lexus Luther by Jessie Eisenberg in one grade, and all in the "Suicide Team," along with the Witch of Kara Delevine and her brother, and Ares in "The Wonder Woman", and especially Steppenwolf - an extremely impractical and inspirational antagonist who also deprives the League of a sense of danger. "Justice League" spends a lot of time fixing the DCEU. For example, at the height of the movie, destruction is minimized, and in danger we see a single family. For the new Superman there is not much to talk about, he was absent from the ad campaign, but it is clear to everyone that he is back. Henry Cavill was summoned to filming additional scenes when he was already in mustache for the new "Mission Impossible." This has forced the mustache to be removed with CGI, which can be noticed by anyone. It would be much more appropriate for Cavill to wear beard and / or long hair, and so present another version of Superman, also existing in the comics. In the first scene we see it, he is quite reminiscent of the uncontrollable Hulk. In the end, we see a much more positive, serene, but simplified Superman. In "Justice League", J. K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, who, unfortunately, does nothing interesting about the role, let alone after Gary Oldman. Simmons does not seem to know enough about the character, and there is not enough material to work with. The same can be said of Amber Hurd and her Merrah, Aquamen's favorite, which is superfluous, and by its emergence it becomes clear that WB & DC have come too disappointed with the way the DCEU calls are under water. Alfred Jeremy Irons is also far less as fascinating as in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Even before "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" came out in the cinemas, it was known that "Justice League" would not be so bleak. Even in Zack Snyder's version, humor would have to be found, and Flash and Ezra Miller could not be otherwise. Although Flash has a lot of fans from the gaming series, everyone should agree that DCEU Ezra Miller is the right decision. The fanbase itself will be able to get acquainted with Barry Allen and his replies, often passed through Wydon's editorial, are some of the most memorable in the League. Every compliment to Gal Gadot is more than deserved, and Jason Momoa as Aquamen is what the film's trailer promised.

According to many fans, Batman does't need Robin and often seems to be out of place to the League of Justice superheroes. It is said that Matt Reeves, the director of the upcoming "The Batman", is also categorical. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck has proven in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice that he can interact with other superheroes and that Batman may also be a lone in the League. However, here Ben Affleck seems significantly less enthusiastic about the role of Batman and Bruce Wayne, in a much worse physical form and especially puffy in some scenes. Metaphysical enough for Aflek was the scene in which he explains to the miracle woman that he can not continue to be Batman and has his own alcohol. Batman does not get a battle scene like the Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, or even something of that caliber; expected neither to kill nor to shoot with weapons. Bruce Wayne's Ben Affleck is now quite passive, closer to Val Kilmer than to the beast we saw in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, Affleck and Warner Bros. can find the right way to end this Batman and the start of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Batman in DCEU, and of course, a totally new Batman of Mat Reeves. "Justice League" looks like Zack Snyder's movie and sounds like a movie by Joss Wydon. It does not reach any peak, no bottom, it is mostly mediocre, with an interesting interaction between all superheroes, hit & miss dialogue, minimum bet and a nasty villain. Some wanted to be able to see Zack Snider's "Justice League", or at least the film was created in a real deal between Snyder and Wydon, and not in terms of finishing and rebuilding. "Justice League" is an acceptable, compromising and satisfying film that could be much better but also worse, and which greatly exacerbates the appetite for major overhaul of DCEU through the "Justice League: Flashpoint" .

    Warner bros just need to get their thing together, they need to let the directors do their thing. I mean why couldn't they release the 3 hour cut of Zack snyder, WB should stop running behind the money and focus on quality.
