Justice League: 13 Complaints Everyone Will (Probably) Have

4. The Tone Is All Over The Place

When the first Justice League teaser trailer dropped over a year ago, it seemed to back up Warner Bros' claims that the film would have a lighter tone than previous DCEU movies, making it more in line with the tenor of the MCU.

It's possible that this could result in a case of tonal whiplash, though, if the quick-witted quipping clashes harshly with the general self-seriousness of characters like Batman and Superman.

This returns to the notion that Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon are basically polar opposite directors in terms of mood, style and tone, and while Whedon can probably help calibrate things a little in post-production, there's no guarantee he will make the movie feel as cohesive as, say, The Avengers.
