10 Things Justice League Can Learn From Wonder Woman

8. Less Villains Can Be More

Here's something that Wonder Woman itself actually got wrong, but it can at least be a teachable moment for the rest of the DCEU.

It's a common complaint in superhero movies that there are too many villains, from Batman and Robin to Spider-Man 3 and Iron Man 2, and this can result in not one single villain getting their fair due.

This is certainly true of Wonder Woman: General Ludendorff is ultimately a fairly underdeveloped supporting villain, Doctor Poison is more interesting but doesn't get enough screen time, and Ares is a rather forgettable third-act CGI baddie.

Hopefully Justice League will instead focus largely on Steppenwolf and his army of parademons, rather than having the heroes deal with other antagonists first.

Considering that Lex Luthor will indeed be back for the movie, it remains to be seen whether he'll end up stealing Steppenwolf's thunder away, but hopefully not.
