Justice League: 11 Final Concerns

By far the most-discussed aspect of Justice League is the resurrection of Superman. To their credit, Warner Bros. has done a better-than-expected job of not giving away the Man of Steel's return in trailers, but in terms of how the resurgence is executed, there's certainly lot of hand-wringing among fans that they might blow it.

Some easy ways for Warner Bros. to screw it up are having him return too early into the story to the extent that it undermines his death, giving him a silly new look, or having him simply show up to save the day before quickly disappearing again.

Whether Superman has a small role in the movie or not, it's going to be a major talking point coming away, and the success of its execution will likely define how well-received the movie as a whole is. This really could go either way, but given the series' shaky track record for pulling off big moments so far, fan pessimsm is definitely understandable.
