Batman V Superman: 10 Reasons We're Worried For Justice League

2. It's Trying To Do Too Much Too Soon

Long before Batman v Superman hit screens, many fans felt that Warner Bros. were trying to rush their DCEU in an attempt to play catch-up with the MCU.

Of course, we all remember that Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor had standalone movies before The Avengers truly took things to the next level, whereas the DCEU had a solid opener in Man of Steel and then moved directly to something as ambitious as Batman taking on Superman, while introducing most of the Justlce League members.

Wonder Woman's solo film will be up third, while Justice League will be the fourth DCEU outing, yet without The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman being introduced by way of their own movies, are audiences going to really respond to the meager cameos in Batman v Superman and want to see more of them from that basis alone?

And then there's the fact that Superman was "killed" in just the DCEU's second movie: in addition to being ridiculously unconvincing, it's way too early to start killing off iconic heroes and expecting us to care, especially with all of the controversy surrounding Superman's behaviour in Man of Steel. Perhaps it might've had more impact if it had happened in one of the Justice League movies, but all it says is that they're desperately trying to shoehorn in as many "big" moments as possible regardless of whether they actually fit.
