Feels more like a Boys or Ultimates thing, if it’s not getting given to charity or something. Are there superhero lobbyists donating money to pro-superhero politicians to artificially inflate the need for superheroes in certain situations, which the heroes then profit from? Admittedly there film shows that there is a ton of merch being produced of the Justice League (and comics), but GENERALLY in the comics the heroes aren’t directly profiting from said material. One thing brought up but ultimately skimmed over was the “superhero industrial complex“, which is a concept that I’d liked to see explored more, but ultimately one I have trouble understanding how it works in practice. The idea of superhero legacy characters was firmly established in this film (makes sense, it being a JSA movie and all), maybe this was meant to be in the rebooted DCEU that the Flash movie was meant to create? *shrug* Maybe this is based in a universe where those elements from the earlier films were erased. I will say though something that I said when they had the line about “heroes don’t kill people“ from the trailer, that while I appreciate the film repeatedly showing that superheroes murdering people only actively makes the situation worse, that message could also have worked better in a universe where all the main superheroes (Batman especially) weren’t all murderers in the previous films. I’ve heard someone say that the film would arguably have worked better as a Justice Society movie that has Black Adam as the antagonist instead of vice versa, and while I’d agree to an extent, the fact that (as I’ve said) they’re used as a metaphor for America’s intervention in other countries in the name of “stability“ that would have made the message of the film a bit wonky. A fun movie that has a bunch of say about both superheroes and American foreign policy (and superheroes as a metaphor for American foreign policy), but your mileage may vary over how successful it was at that.ĭwayne Johnson was fine as always, the JSA were excellent, and human side-characters and villain were… okay. It wasn’t WW84, but it wasn’t the first Wonder Woman film either, with my rating it around the Aquaman mark. OK, my thoughts on the movie: It wasn’t as bad as I thought that it was going to be, but it wasn’t exactly great either.
