So I saw Justice League today. I thought it was good. I went in with deep misgivings and was pleasantly surprised. There are some pretty deep plot holes and I felt that the characterization of Flash was entirely wrong for Barry Allen, but I think overall the movie was a good bit of fun and huge steps ahead of most of the previous movies that have been pulled under the DCCU brand. The movie does start off very bleak as is typical for Zach Snyder's works and has been a major problem for most of this era's DC live action movies. But it does change as the movie goes on. I don't know how much of that is from Joss Whedon taking the helm, or how much was planned in. But overall I think it set up a narrative that could save the franchise if they run with it. The movie establishes pretty much early on that an atmosphere of hopelessness has fallen over the world since Superman's death. And the kick off of the villain's plot is because Superman was no longer there. Which is a plot hole in itself, but saying more involves spoilers.

Taken as a meta-narrative and if you ignore some aspects of the previous films that should be ignored anyway, you could run with the idea that the world became such a bleak place because there was a lack of heroes to look up to. Superman acted as that heroic ideal for a lot of people... When he died things became even more grim. Now with more heroes stepping up the world is growing brighter, more hopeful. More in line with what is in the comics and what a lot of people want to see. Not angsty Superman snapping necks or grown men in Halloween costumes growling at each other. If they continue the franchise in this tone I think they have a shot of continuing.

(click to show/hide)This is probably not much a spoiler but... for the first time I felt that Henry Cavill was hitting the role of Superman. He had the charm, the wit and the humbragging that I've always associated with the character.
 The parts of him that inspire people to like him. Unlike what we've seen recently of the character. So I'm suspecting a large part of why he was so bad in the role before was the directing. When he's directed to act like Superman would, he does so rather well.

Joker looks so fucking bad. Anyone see the DC Captain Marvel yet? I meant to but haven't, and I'm seeing Endgame this weekend. I heard it was good, though.

cybersmurf:
That trailer makes him look... weird. bad kind of weird, even for the joker.

Suicide Squad joker was weird, too, and kind of rather bland. maybe that movie is trying to tie in with that. we'll see.
