5 Ways Justice League Ruins Its Best Characters

1. Batman, World's Greatest... User Of Gadgets

It’s a given among comic fans that while Bruce Wayne may not have powers, he still stands as one of the most capable superheroes. A near-genius-level intellect combined with peak human athletic condition—or at least peak for a man in his 40s—and mastery of numerous martial arts has always made him one of the baddest mortals on the planet.

Oh, and he’s also rich beyond belief, which of course grants access to doodads and gizmos the likes of which we can only dream.

But the doodads and gizmos embodied Batman in Justice League. From the Nightcrawler to his new troop carrier to the new-and-improved Batmobile, almost his entire hero performance seemed to be based around what gadget he could pull from his arsenal next.

If I wanted gizmos, I would have carried on my petition for Elon Musk to be the next Batman. And why not, Iron Man was already loosely based on him.

Why not invent some sonic knuckle dusters or a makeshift jetpack to allow for some more close counters Bats? Some of the best scenes in Dawn of Justice were watching the Dark Knight flutter about kicking arse as if he were Spawn, and yet that was almost absent in this case.

With Superman absent for a large bulk of the production, it was Wonder Woman who accounted for a lot of the combat scenes, when really this was an opportunity to Batman to light up the screen with more fighting.

And plus….IT’S BATMAN. When you have Batman in your film, you cram as much of that man in black tights into it as possible. FACT. *Heavy sigh*
