Yeah, I agree. The score does pay homage to too many sources. Batman has the '89 theme, Superman has the '78 theme, Wonder Woman has the DCEU theme, and Flash has the CW TV show theme. It's neat, and great fan service, but it's a little jarring. I guess it could have been worse. They could have used: ...actually come to think of it, I don't think in either her title movie OR this one she was called "Wonder Woman" at all. Was she in Batman v Superman? Nope. Then again, Man of Steel took great pains to avoid using "Superman" and despite the movie literally being called Batman vs. Superman "Batman" isn't uttered once, so it's not without precedent.

I had barely noticed that, but then since virtually anyone watching knows who Wonder Woman is, or Batman/Superman I don't think it's a biggie. The problem is I don't recall anyone saying Cyborg's name, which is odd since he's by far the least known and needs to have his ID hammered into a viewer's skull a bit more. Honestly I don't even get the Cyborg inclusion here. Take a look at basic JL toy packages. It's Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern (usually Hal Jordan). It honestly feels like there was a studio mandate to include one black superhero in this, but if that's the case why not throw in John Stewart/Green Lantern?

Because DC editorial is obsessed with Hal Jordan and portraying him as the bestest Green Lantern ever and are not gonna allow any other Green Lantern to be a founding member of the movie Justice League. This is the same reason they used Barry Allen as Flash but gave him Wally's personality.

For the name thing, they did use his real name. I feel that he didn't fully accept the name Cyborg until the end, when he changed the front of his cybernetics. As for why he's there, it's because he's been made a founder of the team since the New 52 started.

Despite the fact if people know him it's probably more as a Titan. A couple reasons for not including Stewart. 1. They have been working on a Green Lantern Corps movie at the same time which is expected to contain Hal, and Stewart. 2. Geoff Johns is in charge of the movies now... Stewart isn't going to appear before Hal.

After the calls to boycott Rotten Tomatoes during BVS' run and the petition to the government to shut RT down when Suicide Squad's reviews went out, you knew something like this was coming. It's a little more positive at least, but it's shit like this that encourages companies like WB to pump out any old half-assed horseshit, knowing there will always be people who lap it up and beg for more.

That's just sad. That's as pathetic as what Capcom did when SFV was poorly received.

I think instead of everyone going to the movie six times, the idiot who wrote that post should go to the movie six times for every like.

I haven't seen it yet (Going tomorrow) but DC/WB deserve this because so far they've half arsed this "Universe".

And no, I'm not spending $60 plus food and drink costs to see a movie that I only 'liked' six times. Hell, I LOVED Wonder Woman and the only reason I saw it twice in the theater was because a friend asked me to go after I'd already seen it the first time.

Only movie I've seen in theaters twice was Dark Knight. First one was a midnight screening, second was about a week later and I actually went to the theater to see Mamma Mia but while in line decided I wanted to watch Dark Knight again instead.

So 600 people liked that post. Let's say they all see it in IMAX, so that's $20 a ticket. That's $12,000. I have a feeling that's a little on the small side to get the attention of any higher-ups at WB.

I've already seen posts on various sites blaming "Disney agents" for this failure.

I've also seen a lot of people blaming Whedon... and demanding they release Zack Snyder's Cut... despite there being no Zack Snyder cut since he didn't get a chance to Edit... that was the point. Not to mention Snyder giving his blessing to Whedon's cut.

Don't let that get in the way of edgelord brats crying about how BvS was the greatest piece of cinema ever and how people who like Marvel films are the problem. MARFAAAAAAAAA

Have Disney buy Warner Brothers.
All the DC characters get into a huge war with something that generates a bright blue light in the sky and a time portal absorbs them. When they emerge in the newly merged Marvel/DC cinematic universe, every DC character with the exception of Wonder Woman (who was somehow immune to the transformation process) has been recast and rebooted.
Something similar happens when Disney buys FOX but it only affects Mystique and Jean Grey, who are no longer played by Jennifer Lawrence, and that annoying girl from Game of Thrones.
