My days of taking anything you say seriously are now at an end.
Oh you don't like idiotic statements stated as facts do you? THEN STOP MAKING THEM.

There is nothing "idiotic" about my statements concerning the truth of what happened with regards to Justice League, but you'd rather try to be "cute" and ignore actual reporting from The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline Hollywood, Variety, and Entertainment Weekly just so you can attempt to be insulting and dismissive towards me, so like I said, my days of taking anything you say seriously are at an end.... as is this conversation.
It's visible for a second in the back when Flash zooms trough it.
I am looking at the commercials...and it was sooooooo stupid to NOT to have Superman in the original ads and graphics.
But he was dead and it was super shocking when he came back... Right??
I agree. There could have been a whole trailer with "we need Clark" as the theme, and maybe Superman shooting heat vision at the JL as the hook. Good editing there would have made a decent, catchy trailer and people would have gone to see Superman. Maybe the problem was that Cavil's CGI took time to do in post production?
I think this movie was much better than MOS or BVS, but I think a lot of it had to do with the baggage those movies provided.
I wasn't a fan of Star Trek Enterprise. I thought the writing was terrible, the stories were terrible, the characters were terrible, etc. Then in Season 4, they did something I had been wanting for many years--they hired better writers. I believe that if the Season 4 writing team, especially with Judith and Gar Reeves Stevens involved, had been given a mandate to create a show 100 years before Kirk, they would have come up with something in canon and terrific. But they didn't have that mandate. Instead, they were given a terrible show, with 3 seasons of baggage, and asked to make it better. They did, but it's the lipstick on a pig issue.
They did the best they could with what they had, but it wasn't enough to actually make it good.
I think Justice League was in a similar situation. You have two dark movies that turned Superman into an angry, dark, brooding, jerk--who was weak and happened to be dead.
That's the starting point?
This movie had to be a sacrifice to bridge into something better. It had to be about fixing what was wrong. Step One is bring back Superman and try to make him more like Superman. I think they did that as best as they could.
Introducing some of the classic characters had to be done too, and they did.
My opinion? Do Flashpoint, but don't follow the comics to the letter. Craft a good story, but when the dust settles, use it to reset the universe. Keep the cast members you want, but use it as an excuse to alter anything you want. Make the DCEU great again.

Personally, I have always thought Flashpoint was crap as a reset point. I don't believe it was originally intended to be a reset either, but that that part was shoehorned in to the story. It could have been a great "summer event" story but found itself wrapped up in other plans that had not been thought through properly. Give Barry a better story for his movie.
Rumors indicate that DC and Warner Bros. are simply using "Flashpoint" as a "flashy" (pardon the pun) title, and that the actual storyline of the film will have nothing whatsoever to do with that event, just as was the case with Marvel Studios' Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Ok.... So i have watched JL twice now since it was released on digital and I have to say.... It is still a really good movie.... I know it has it has its detractors and haters.... I really liked it in the theater but all the flack it got made me really rethink it... But yeah... I really like it... DC is not MCU... And I think we unfairly compair them...
About the Moustache.... Honestly, I would not have noticed had it not been made a big deal... And still, the only place I can really tell is in the opening video shot by those kids who asked if he had ever fought a hippo...
DC does animation REALLY well and I see Snyder’s vision being a live version of the animation...
I really think this movie isn’t nearly as bad as people think it is. Just IMHO...

Not anymore. There haven't been really good DC animated features in years. Batman and Harley Quinn is what Bruce Timm has been reduced to these days.
There IS no Snyder cut. He left before a complete cut would have been finished.
But that has been their stock and trade. I haven’t seen Gotham by Gaslight yet, so I am reserving judgement... The GN is one of my favorite Batman comics of all time and I definitely have concerns about it by the previews I’ve seen.
Not only that, 80-90% of the "release cut" of the film is what Snyder filmed.
