I love the Justice League, and I love DC a lot more than Marvel.

That being said, Disney and Marvel have their sh*t together and Warner Bros. and DC do not. Man of Steel was bad, Green Lantern was terrible, we have no Wonder Woman or Flash movies, and the Batman trilogy is over.

Even if Warner Bros. managed all the reboots, recasts, and prequels, it would take a deft filmmaker to juggle all the characters, back-stories, and mythologies into a coherent picture -- something that Whedon was able to do in The Avengers. Maybe Singer could do that, I don't know. He did great work on X2 and Superman Returns.


You disliked Mos and liked Superman Returns?? Superman Returns was boring imo, that incarnation of Superman has been obsolete since "Death of Superman" the comic. That campy image is why Superman as a character has been struggling for the past 15yrs. Man of Steel was the side of Superman we needed to see, not the "perfect I can do no wrong" side of him. I respect your opinion though. 

Thanks for your response.

I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I found Superman Returns more interesting, more challenging, and more in line with the spirit of the Donner movies -- which I hold in high regard. I dunno, I found Man of Steel humorless, aimless, soulless. It was burdened down with uninspired special effects set pieces, an unbelievable romance, and a lot of forced dialogue. Meanwhile, I found the chemistry between Routh and Bosworth a lot more genuine. Also, the action in Superman Returns, while infrequent, had much more poetry and grace. Finally, the screenplay in Returns was rich in subtext, something that is missing in Man of Steel.
