10 Most Depressing Things About Justice League
1. Too Many Characters
Six main characters isn't exactly excessive for an ensemble movie, but when several of them need fleshing out from scratch and come with their own supporting cast in tow, it runs the risk of buckling under its own weight.
Aquaman will be joined by Mera and Vulko, The Flash has Iris West riding on his coattails and Cyborg's father, Silas Stone, also gets the nod.
Then we have a debut for JK Simmons's Commissioner Gordon, the first appearance of Steppenwolf, and dozens of returning cast members from the previous DC Extended Universe movies to boot.
It's a lot of new characters to be introducing in one movie, and too many key heroes to be fleshing out from scratch.
Sure, the cast looks paltry compared to Marvel's hero-stuffed Infinity War, but the upcoming Avengers movie won't suffer from the same issue because it's had a decade's worth of feeder films to introduce each character, and that harks back to our point about the DCEU being rushed from day one.
