Just watched Justice League in a big comfy recliner chair that I didn’t recline out of fear I’d get stuck or spill my popcorn all over myself. Here’s what I learned from Batman and his gang of misfit friends/strangers.
1. Because I knew this storyline headed into the film, I spent 98% of scenes that included Superman just staring at his upper lip. Hopefully the release to DVD will clean up the poor CGI.
2. Henry Cavill has a REALLY NICE upper lip.
3. DC is in a tough spot here: 1. If they took the Marvel route, and gave each character a solo film before Justice League, they’d get hammered for copying Marvel. They didn’t, and are getting hammered for not following Marvel. And they don’t seem to know what to do with Batman. After the Nolan films, it is hard to reboot that character. I applaud DC’s approach of jumping to a Batman at a different time in his career. It is something new to watch. However, I don’t agree with his death-wish attitude.
4. It sure is fun to see DC Superheroes laugh together.
5. Deathstroke. Awesome! One of my video game highlights was taking him down in Batman: Arkham Origins. I’m a huge button masher so it took me a long time to be disciplined enough to wait and perform timed moves and counters.
