Detective Comics Cinematic Universe (formerly Man of Steel)
TheEvilDog:
A major problem that many people have seems to stem from the fact that Joss Whedon's work is fairly evident throughout the film.
It certainly doesn't help that Whedon cut many key scenes during his time, including, but not limited whats under the spoiler:
(click to show/hide)- Wonder Woman was supposed to have more lines and more prominent in key scenes.
- Vic Stone's time on screen is a fraction of what it was in Synder's film.
- A large chunk of Superman's recovery, including his conversations with Lois and his mother.
- Barry Allen saving Iris West from a car crash, the scene and animatics can be found on youtube.
- Not to mentions scenes involving Anitope and Professor Vulko were also cut.
Not to mention that Zack Synder and Joss Whedon have incredibly different ways of directing films and it shows in the film. What could have been a deep story that looks into the best and worst of humanity and the inherent struggle that lies within gets tossed to the side with emotional whiplashes and the traditional Whedon focusing on asses.

The reviews I've seen for the movie haven't been negative. Most of them have been 'Eh, it's okay. It's not memorable or groundbreaking and it's clearly been heavily edited, but it's watchable.' They place it about on level with Suicide Squad, generally. The trouble is that Marvel has been delivering consistent hits in the super hero movie genre for so long now that just average isn't going to thrill people. I don't think you can entirely blame Joss Whedon for the choppy nature of the film. They were reshooting and re-editing the movie long before he came on board. And I've heard from multiple reviewers now that the team was under strict orders to keep the movie under two hours, and it was originally planned to be a two movie story. So yeah.. a lot was cut down or tossed out entirely to fit probably 5+ hours of story and action into 121 minutes.

Who would you like to play Mari M'Cabe/Vixen in a future Justice League live action show or movie?
Thrillho:
It's too late for Halle Berry, right?
Neko_Ali:
She was a terrible Storm and Catwoman so yes, it's too late for her.
