8 Reasons Why The DC Extended Universe Deserves Another Chance

2016 was not an easy year for Warner Bros. After the mixed reception to Man of Steel back in 2013, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (a guaranteed $1 billion hit on the surface) and Suicide Squad were meant to turn everything around for them, creating a DC Extended Universe in the process which would have been every bit as popular and successful as Marvel's.

3) Justice League Looks Seriously Awesome

Recommended Videos

Whether we’re talking about that Comic-Con teaser trailer or the recently released images, everything from Justice League so far looks pretty damn great. Throw in the fact that some big changes were made to the tone and story in the wake of that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice backlash and this could well be the turning point the DCEU needs. Admittedly, Wonder Woman also stands a chance of being a big win, but it’s really Snyder’s upcoming film which fans have been fantasizing about seeing on the big screen for years now.

Green Lantern’s absence is regrettable, sure, but Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash all standing side by side has huge appeal, as does the presence of villains like Lex Luthor, Deathstroke and Steppenwolf. All the ingredients are in place for Justice League to be something truly special, and assuming Zack Snyder has mixed them together properly, we’re going to be in for a real treat this November.
