11 Huge Issues That Might Ruin The DC Cinematic Universe

From taking on Marvel to the inevitable Aquaman problem...

It's an exciting time to be a comic book fan, because never before have there been so many big Hollywood studios pumping so much cash into getting your favourite characters on the big screen. Even so, it's a tough business, and the road to DC establishing their own Marvel-esque cinematic universe hasn't been an easy one. With just one film down and at least ten to go, there's a bumpy, unsure road ahead, rife with countless potential problems which might hold the "DCCU" back from true greatness. Whether it's an issue that became apparent in 2013's Man of Steel, a divisive casting decision, an inherent character flaw or another potential roadblock coming soon, there are a lot of tricky pitfalls that Zack Snyder and David S. Goyer might fall into as they attempt to tackle one of cinema's most absurdly ambitious endeavours to date. Will Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice be another Man of Steel?

These questions and many more hang over Warner's head as they move forward: here are 11 huge issues that just might ruin the DC Cinematic Universe (or whatever they eventually call it...)
