Why I am not too excited for Justice League:

Justice League is the ultimate DC movie that brings batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman, and some other heroes in later films into one ultimate creation. But due to the critics' impressions of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the box office results, have thrown the DCEU in the Marvel ways. According to many people currently on or who visited the set of Justice League set, the film is much lighter and overall more fun in comparison to Batman V Superman, but that's just the problem.

DC comics especially Batman, have dark and grounded stories, Batman V Superman was probably the purest form of this in the DC movies genre. It felt so much like some of the most iconic and loved Batman tales, such as the Killing Joke and the Dark Knight Returns. Now that we are headed in an entirely new direction, the film will be just a straight copy of Marvel, and that is what everyone accused, (cough, cough, Angry Joe) of Batman V Superman being. No it was much different than a normal Marvel Movie such as the Avengers or Ant-Man for instance, it was grounded, felt larger in scale, and was darker. You can see it time and time again with comic book movies, especially this year. Those films that aren't Marvel films, are generally going to get poor reviews, with exception of Deadpool and X-Men: Days of Future Past. But the reason some of these comic book films are getting such poor scores is because the film is dark and stays loyal to the comics. For example, Batman V Superman, X-Men: Apocalypse, and etc. Fantastic Four tried to be the Dark Knight of the license, but was still a bad movie. And here's another thing as well, if it is a dark superhero movie, critics will destroy it, if it isn't the Dark Knight trilogy, but even that trilogy, re-released this year, would get absolutely destroyed alongside Batman V Superman and X-Men Apocalypse. Justice League, in the direction it's going, is likely going to be a straight cough up of Marvel Studios' more critically acclaimed titles.
