Justice League: 13 Complaints Everyone Will (Probably) Have

2. Batman Has Become A Meme

With Batman v Superman being criticised for being too dour and Batman being deemed too sadistic and, well, murderous, many are concerned that he's going to become a joke in Justice League.

The line that has a lot of fans worried is when Barry asks him what his superpowers are, and he responds, "I'm rich", echoing a popular Internet meme that says much the same.

A large portion of fans feel that this could represent an attempt to make Bats into a walking meme, with his lack of actual superpowers and status as a rich white guy basically becoming a running point of derision for his fellow Leaguers.

It remains to be seen how far Snyder and Whedon will take it in the final movie, but it's possible that they could end up over-compensating for Bats' grim mood in BvS and make him too much of a joke.
