Everything wrong with the DCEU

Image result for doomsdayAlright, Justice League recently hit theaters to polarized reception. On the negative end there was the critics, and on the positive side there are the audiences.
But, the audiences (me), still think there are some problems with the DCEU.
So, I've composed a list: it's not really a list, and it has no bulletins, but, still. I think it's a list.

1. The first three movies sucked
Man of Steel was horrible and Batman v Superman was moot. Suicide Squad was also moot.
This cemented the DCEU to a rocky start.

2. Man of Steel ruined Superman
Man of Steel sucked spectacularly. But worst of all was that the film ruined Superman, warping his personality and making him feel bad about saving people and causing mass destruction.

3. The gap between Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
This was too long. People lost interest. Sure, it made Batman v Superman super hyped, but that may have lead to the super negative critical reception.

4. Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor was portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg, who tried his best but still made Lex Luthor crazy and more like the Joker. It looks like he cleaned up for Justice League so you don't think he's insane and more of the tactical genius the comic make him out to be, but let's not forget the original portrayal of Lex in Superman, who was a crazy man that dressed like the Riddler.


5. Doomsday
Doomsday was so stupidly overpowered and killed Superman that I just have decided he's stupid. They should have waited for Doomsday so he could be an omega villain that still kills Superman, but when it happens you feel sad for Superman, instead of, "Thank goodness. I think this means the movie's over."

6. The long, long runtimes
Image result for the jokerMan of Steel was 2 hours and 23 minutes long, which in my opinion, is 2 hours and 23 minutes too long. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was 3 hours and 3 minutes long. Honestly, Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King was 3 hours and 21 minutes long. Dawn of Justice was 18 minutes shorter. That's bad.

7. Batman's outfit
The Batman outfit is cool and all, but I think the chin kinda kills it for me. It looks out of place.

8. Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad tried to be great and conquered that territory only a tiny bit, and not by much. The movie was funny, but was burdened by a weird villain.

9. the Joker
The Joker was such a step down after Heath Ledger's Joker, which was awe inspiring. This Joker was sad. Suicide Squad wasn't even about the Joker, which was disappointing. He was too crazy and had tattoos everywhere.
