Justice League

Superman's (Henry Cavill) death having exposed Earth to intergalactic invasion, Batman (Ben Affleck), riddled with guilt, must find a way to heroically compensate.

Assembling a team of gifted phenoms seems like the best course of action, and the globe is traversed to collectively materialize both ancient and contemporary myth and legend.

Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) quickly joins up shortly after Aquaman (Jason Momoa) initially refuses to participate, the Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) eventually accommodating Mr. Wayne's self-sacrificing request, the resultant union improvising in battle with hopes of defeating the tyrannical Steppenwolf (CiarĂ¡n Hinds), whose monstrous heart terrifyingly seeks the destruction of passionate worlds, the annihilation of free peoples, the nourishment of death and decay.

They come together with much less ego than their avenging competitors, reluctance and leadership issues more of an itch than an implosive characteristic, historical reverence subduing aged contemporary Gods, youthful postmodern members discursively ready to mystify.

Perhaps suggesting that DC is distinguishing itself from Marvel by focusing more on collective unity than individualistic personality?

Even if interstellar awakenings make some of these reflections mute.

Batman is ridiculed for having no superpower.

David Bowie and Prince are awesomely compared to Superman.

Sea shepherding of the rustic conveys bucolic mythological fortune.

Love vanquishes the unleashed chaos of blitzkrieg.

Computational prowess is as highly regarded as environmental stewardship, global interconnectivity physically synthesized ad infinitum.

Whales.

I rather liked how Justice League holds it together.

Not as verbose as The Avengers nor as intricate, but its laid-back approach is still rich in metaphor which indirectly stylizes an imaginary vortex, wherein which interpretive discourses manifest interdisciplinary comment, the intellectualization of the straightforward, the love for all things plaid.

Does the Flash become jealous of Batman in subsequent films as Wonder Woman appears to prefer him?

Will Aquaman and Cyborg's habitual independence destabilize their cherished unity?

As much of a catalyst as it is a fulcrum, Zack Snyder's Justice League gives DC even more eclectic momentum, some versatile room to manoeuvre, the depth of its successors hopefully reaching way down to Atlantis, while diversifying cyberspatial manors, with Amazonian lightning speed.

Burgeoning.
