Power Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book Movie By Hype
3. Justice League
Release: 17th November
With reaction to their so-far released films best charitably described as "mixed", DC have overhauled the creative hierarchy behind Justice League, though Zack Snyder remains as the director. This time out he's charged (allegedly) with lightening the tone (hence the comedic scene we've already seen with The Flash), and he's got a world of expectations on his shoulders.
The Selling Point:
Batman was mostly great in Batman v Superman, so more Affleck can't be a bad thing (even if his new suit is a little... problematic), and the idea of Superman coming back from the dead is a nice spin. Justice League is billed as DC's The Avengers, and while they won't welcome direct comparison, having more elements and more diversity could serve the DCEU well.
Stunningly, the way they're going with Aquaman makes him one of the most exciting new elements too. The addition of Deathstroke should also mix things up nicely.
The Concerns:
Zack Snyder. If he can't reign it in, we're in for another tough ride. And nobody wants to see another endlessly bleak DC movie (even the fanboys who claim they like their movies more "adult").
