12 Most Dark And Twisted Movie Scenes Of 2017

12. Justice League – Cyborg & The Flash Go Grave Robbing

Much of the criticism directed at Justice League focused on its muddled tone, which mixed the DCEU’s usual dark and brooding edge with a smidgeon of light-heartedness, and in all fairness didn’t really work that well.

Nothing sums up this jumbled tone more than a scene between Barry ‘The Flash’ Allen and Victor ‘Cyborg’ Stone as they dig up Superman’s corpse, while Barry cracks the odd joke and the pair bond over their accidental superhero origin stories. Yes, there’s grave-robbing in Justice League.

You’d think that a group of superheroes equipped with all kinds of powers and led by the uber-wealthy Bruce Wayne might come up with more imaginative means of exhuming Superman’s corpse, but no – it’s old-school shovels all the way for Cyborg and The Flash.

Later, when Superman’s resurrection proves successful but he then goes ape-s**t, the wise-cracking Flash even makes an apt little joke about Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. Seriously DC, what the hell?
