Batman V Superman: 13 Biggest Blunders Zack Snyder Makes That Completely Ruin It

4. The Justice League Set-Up Is Atrocious

Batman V Superman is also the Dawn Of Justice, and thus has a few scenes that aim to lay the groundwork for DC's massive, Marvel-aping universe. And while it's not the worst title element (that's the "V"), it is an utterly perfunctory one.

I'm not going to elaborate on how these future stars fit into the movie, but it's tangential at best, with their scenes clearly part of a studio-mandated redraft and minimal effort made to ensure they fit. You could cut out everything pertaining to The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg and not alter the bigger movie at all; in fact, it'd probably be a more focused piece.

Look, I get it - DC needs to build this world. But it needs to be a world, not this fragmented run of glorified trailers for movies years away from release. Marvel aren't exactly the most subtle with their seeding of future movies, but bar Iron Man 2 and the cave in Avengers: Age Of Ultron there is an effort to at least tie it into the plot.
