9 Reasons Why Justice League Is Now Officially The Lowest-Grossing DCEU Film

There are few things an audience hates more than feeling like they've wasted their time and that is exactly what Justice League did.

In an efforts to move away from the dark and dreary Snyderverse that had been built in prior films, Justice League pretty much just ignores everything but the broad strokes of the previous films. In Man of Steel and BvS, Superman was a troubled hero who the world feared. So logically, Justice League's opening is set mere months after BvS (if that) and the entire world is mourning the loss of their beloved and always heroic Superman.

In BvS, Affleck's Batman was an aged and weary fighter who murdered people and was way more Rorschach than he was Batman. In Justice League, he's a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, letting criminals go without even taking them to the authorities and making quips throughout the film.

It retcons so much from the previous films that it made audiences question why they bothered keeping up with this shared universe of films in the first place if DC was just going to throw the baby out with the bath water.
