Justice League: 9 Biggest Mistakes It's Already Made

9. It's All A Bit Rushed

Marvel Studios spent years organically building a cinematic universe, and when it all came together so beautifully in Joss Whedon's first Avengers film, Warner Bros' DC Comics arm sprung into action with the momentum of Barry Allen.

The studio's top brass were determined to play catch-up on Disney and after kicking Man of Steel out of its gates, its attempt at overnight world-building in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice smacked of 'me too'.

Warner Bros and Zack Snyder would probably tell you they intended to do it this way all along, but Justice League's hasty assembly presents a number of issues.

In the case of Iron Man, Marvel had two films to introduce the character and show us what makes in tick before Avengers arrived, and many of his super-powered teammates were afforded at least one solo outing.

DC has no such luxury with The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg, and as a result, much of their development will be sacrificed; so it's difficult picturing them as anything other than secondary to DC's holy trinity of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

This is what happens when you rush into cinematic universe creation. Take heed, Dark Universe.
