Unite The League... Fight Water... Or Something

By Dustin Cabeal

Well, you obviously didn't come here to see the buttfuck teasers that the WB is releasing in prep for the actual Justice League trailer they're unveiling on Saturday (God I hope it's during the podcast, so I don't have to talk about it). They released two teasers, and it's clear that Zack Snyder loves the green screen and doesn't want any of this to look real, but rather like the bastard shit of his Watchmen film. When I saw Batman standing on the rooftop, that was all I could think about, along with the fact that there's a lot of water in this movie to accommodate Aquaman. They don't even accommodate him in the comic books. Like, ever. Not one single writer is like, "Maybe this fight should be by water to accommodate Aquaman? Nah." Sure, sure, Johns did it for like a minute in the New 52, like a minute. Long enough for everyone to go, "That guy is from the water."

Visually it looks alright. I seriously hate the Batman scene on the rooftop, and basically, everything that DC and WB have done with the character has been shit. Yes, that includes Lego Batman that took two hours to teach the moral lesson of "don't be a dick." I'm going to guess that Wonder Woman and Cyborg get their own fifteen-second cock tease tomorrow... can't wait.
