One of James Gunn supporters supported players played the steel man himself

In 2011, DC Comics restarted his universe with the comic strip “Flashpoint” (by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert). In the universe “New 52” (named because all DC comics were canceled and 52 new series started from number 1), superheroes have been around for about five years. The DC universe now housed the younger and more strange heroes ready to be adapted in the next DC films.

An architect of the initiative with “Flashpoint”, Johns himself began to write the new comic strip “Justice League”. His first arc, “Origin” (designed by the artist Superstar Jim Lee), saw the team come together at the start of this five -year section to fight an invasion of Darkseid. “Justice League: War” is a film adaptation of “Origin” … for most of the time. Frankly, it is a bad film based on a pretty but superficial comic strip.

“Origin” is in a transparent way Johns’ field in comical form for a “Justice League” film live, and this especially worked. Several ideas from Johns, such as the League meeting to stop an invasion of Apokolips or Cyborg being one of the founding members of the JL, made the two cuts of “Justice League” of the Extended DC Universe.

But the DCEU obtained a lot of flack for having badly charged his heroes and bad guys. Johns’ comics, and by extension “Justice League: War”, commits the same sins. The worst victim is Darkseid himself, which is reduced to an extraterrestrial invader generic. “I am entropy, I am death, I am dark,” he boasts, and he is 12 feet high to do it additional scary.

But the whole point of Darkseid (as designed by Jack Kirby) is that, to God, that it is, it is ultimately a fallible and human evil. He is the god of TyrannyRemember, which is an evil that rests in the hearts of men. Speaking of undermining the characterization, the legend of the voiceover, Steve Blum, expresses Darkseid in “Justice League: War”, but the film automatically turned his voice to the point that he can barely play.

“Justice League: War” also transforms Wonder Woman (Michelle Monaghan) into a caricature, a naive but stubborn warrior who always leaves his sword without thinking. Diana is supposed to be an ambassador of peace, remember. Wonder Woman’s only spot in “War” is when Diana faces conservative demonstrators. One of them, linked by the lasso of truth, reveals that he is a crossdress. Instead of making fun of him, Diana encourages him to live his truth.
