I reallyreallywantJustice Leagueto be good.
I’m the guy who’s watchedBatman v Supermanfour times (don’t ask) – and after the fourth viewing, I almost Stockholm’ed’ myself into liking it.BvSis such an interesting and personal misfire, a film that both dares to deconstruct its superheroes while at the same time setting them up for a ‘bazillion’ sequels, a film that positions Superman as both a Christ-like Messiahanda Selfish Randian Objectivist, and a film where the hero (Batman) and villain (Lex) both have theexact samemotivation (i.e. a fear of an all-powerful being and the power he holds). Surmise to say – it’s a really weird (and slightly confused) film.
So I was especially interested to see howZack Snyderwould tackle not two superheroes, but now a whole quintet of them. Would he continue down this deconstructionistWatchmen-esque path? Or would he feel pressured to shift to a more comedic and lighter Marvel-esque template? Of course – recent horrific personal developments have put everything into doubt –Joss Whedonnow at the helm of finishing Snyder’s work. Yet the question of just whatJustice Leagueisstill remains.
