And at the time Superman was the only one who was in any way fleshed out, even just a little.

Wonder Woman was a mystery and casual fans were wondering why Batman used guns and seemed like Iron Man.

Then they crammed Doomsday into it and the Nuclear Explosion and oh my god, it just goes on and on.

The thing is comic-book nerds are going to be nitpicky and casual fans are going to be less forgiving if you lose them and that movie was a hot mess. I've read the source material and know the characters and it was still a mess.

And Justice League wasnt much better.
