10 Signs Warner Bros. Have No Clue About Batman V Superman

Dawn of Disappointment.

It's nearing the end of the year, which normally leads to everyone looking forward to the next. And while 2015 boasts some of the biggest movies ever - it will somehow contain Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Bond 24 and The Hungers Games: Mockingjay Part 2 - this time eyes are gazing further into the future. That's right - it's only the end of 2014 and yet we're already thinking of 2016, particularly with regard to Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, a film that's enticing and depressing in equal measure. When first announced at Comic-Con everyone got excited for Zack Snyder's superhero showdown, instantly forgetting the lacklustre Man Of Steel, but, as time's gone by, various developments have revealed a confused production that pushes the idea Warner Bros. really don't have a clue what to do with their D.C. licence. There's the obvious holdback that Marvel have been bossing the superhero genre since 2008, with their Cinematic Universe consistently bringing some of the year's biggest hits, meaning Warner are working with a massive handicap against their rivals. And, in a misguided move, so much of what they're doing seems to be in a bid to compete with the genre master, rather than create something solid in its own right. But things go beyond simply failing to ape Marvel. Today take a look at the ten biggest problems rising from the upcoming Batman V Superman that suggest it won't be the font of awesome everyone hopes it will be.
