13 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit About The DC Movie Universe
5. Too Many Cooks Spoil The Broth
The Problem: If Avengers: Age Of Ultron proved anything, it's that the MCU is now arguably over-stuffed with characters, as even a writer-director as skilled as Joss Whedon struggled to give everyone meaningful and interesting parts in the film. It seems like the Justice League is almost inevitably going to face the same problem: with a roster that's surely only going to grow from there, how can the litany of characters all be crammed onto the screen without a large number of them just feeling like perfunctory cameos? How To Fix It: Though Warner are clearly in a rush to catch up to the MCU, hopefully they won't speed to add in peripheral superheroes like Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow and so on. The best thing they can do is focus on a core line-up of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman, The Flash and Green Lantern, which is more than enough in terms of interest to sustain several movies. If the enemies the League faces off against are varied throughout the movies, then does the roster even really need much expansion at all?
