Justice League Dark Review: 4 Ups & 5 Downs

2. Not Enough Swamp Thing

Swamp Thing is a much-loved component of the Justice League Dark team, but he's unfortunately not in the movie for more than a few minutes, with several scenes scattered throughout to make it feel like he's in it more than he actually is.

He basically shows up to help guide the heroes on their way and re-appears later on during a battle, but he barely makes a dent, and this really feels like a gigantic missed opportunity given the character's popularity and integral nature in the group.

Couldn't Batman's role have been chopped down a little to make more room for the big guy?
