7. Romance Can Work In The DCEU

Romance in the DCEU to date has been, well, not great. Man of Steel's Clark-Lois romance was pretty so-so, and then Suicide Squad's love-in between Rick Flag and June Moone was basically a total trainwreck. This isn't an area Marvel has been particularly good at either, in fairness.

But then Wonder Woman came along and gave audiences a genuinely believable, involving romance between Diana and Steve Trevor, one that didn't feel forced, had the requisite character development put into it, and actually had a payoff people cared about.

With The Flash telling Bruce Wayne that Lois is the key in BvS, it seems probable that her love story with Clark will be a big part of both Justice League films, so it really needs to be significantly punched up if it's going to be remotely effective.
