Batman V Superman: 10 Reasons We're Worried For Justice League

10. Zack Snyder & Chris Terrio

Though Zack Snyder was always going to be a controversial choice for helming the DCEU's biggest movies, fans were a little more optimistic when it was announced that Oscar-winning Argo writer Chris Terrio would be co-writing Batman v Superman.

As it turned out, though, Terrio didn't seem to bring much to the table, serving up a messily plotted misfire where Batman randomly kills people and numerous key characters have wildly implausible motivations. As Snyder is a director highly beholden to his material, the end result was a visually impressive but ultimately rather hollow experience.

Considering that Snyder is directing Justice League and Terrio takes on sole scripting duties for the movie, there's a lot to be worried about. Many angry fans are already calling for Snyder to be fired from the DCEU and replaced by Ben Affleck, but considering that Terrio turned in his scripts a while ago, the potential damage has already been done.

While it's possible that Terrio could come up with a superior product without David S. Goyer breathing down his neck this time, it's hard to be particularly optimistic about this.
