1. Emotion Doesn't Need To Feel Forced

Wonder Woman is the first DCEU movie to really contain some legitimate, honest emotion. Man of Steel botched Jonathan Kent's demise because it seemed so silly and unnecessary, and Batman v Superman bungled Superman's death because it was so quickly undone mere minutes later.

Wonder Woman meanwhile did a fantastic job making Steve Trevor's sacrifice mean something, in large part because the bond between Diana and Steve was well-established prior, and because Steve was such a likeable character.

Justice League certainly can have its emotional moments, but if they can't feel natural to the story that's being told, then it's probably best not to even bother trying.

Is there anything else Justice League can learn from Wonder Woman? Shout it out in the comments!
