In short.. Flash and Cyborg are a faggot and a nigger. They managed to cast someone worse and less likable than the TV show Flash, who already has a strong following. And Cyborg is largely remembered by the target audience from the Teen Titans LET'S HIT THOSE SHOWERS version, which has since been bastardized by TTGO, and the version they ended up with is a mopey, angsty asshat who looks and feels out of place in a movie that's already at odds with itself due to reshoots and director changes part-way through production.

Because most people only think of Aquaman from Super Friends, and the truth is that Aquaman is pretty badass depending on who the writer was. I think the real jokes started with Family Guy making Aquaman seem like he was incapable to stopping anything that wasn't in the water, and Robot Chicken kept this joke going. But Aquaman would still be super powered even on land, and most people don't look at it like that. This may have been many normalfags first introduction to Aquaman as an actual super powered being.

He was very likeable and it was easy to root for him. Flash was awful. They should have just tapped the WB Flash to reprise his role in JL. Cyborg was working pretty well, but his emo-shtick lasted too long. Wonder woman is an odd case. She doesn't require a lot of acting, but that may be because the other actors are carrying for her. However, it was nice to see them change by the end of the movie. Wonder woman was more extroverted and Flash was the same. I really wish that Flash wasn't such a huge faggot though nor that they made him Jewish. He doesn't need any of that shit. Batman was ok. Bale was the last good one, but Afleck does work as a Batman well past his prime. Trying to change his casting now, would be really retarded. Superman was presented much better in the movie outside of his intro where he tried to kill everyone and the incredibly wooden dialogue he had with Louis in Smallville. Aquaman was easily the best new character there.
If I could redo it, I would just tie the WB Flash into JL so that his backstory isn't required and then spend more time on Aquaman and Atlantis.

This is very true. DCAU Flash is awesome. Cyborg has a big following from his original Teen Titans run and he's more popular with kids thanks to TTGO.

Flash was a huge reason why the movie had tonal whiplash.

>You mean the CW one?
Yes. I meant CW Flash. The show managed to bring in a lot of people that would never have watched the old jla cartoons or read the comics. It would have been such a no-brainer to bring in Grant Gustin as the Flash again. He already has a ton of followers and he isn't fucking annoying nor is he a gay attention whore.
>>943284
He knows how to act and he has both SG:A fans and GoT fans following him. He was a no-brainer as to why he's so popular. He looked like he was having fun too. I just wish that Flash had gotten the same treatment.
Cyborg was ok, but his fans are really only going to know him from TT and TTGO. He was a bit too emo for my liking. I understand the angle they're writing him from, but I think he should have been a bit more extroverted before the end of the movie in a way similar to his other appearances that most would know him from.
Gal Gaddot can't act, but the requirement for WW is so low that it really doesn't matter. She was fine in that regard. Batman looked old and fat, which makes sense in-universe given how out of his prime he is. I'm almost fully expecting a Terry to show up soon given how out of it, he's looking. Superman was good past his initial resurrection. His fight with Flash was played very well and got a reaction out of the crowds that I was with. He worked well with Batman, but it felt a bit jarring considering how BvS ended. I don't remember Supes still being that pissed at him after the retardation that was "Martha".
>>943396
>Flash was a huge reason why the movie had tonal whiplash
Flash is probably most remembered for his jla run outside of the cw Flash, where he was played for laughs. Of course, jla Flash was Wally and CW was Barry. JL movie flash was nothing like Barry though and it seemed like he was trying to channel some Wally, but being terrible at it. In the end, I feel that pulling CW Flash would have been the better choice. He's straight-edged and doesn't cause any controversy like movie flash. He also has more experience with the character, so he would have an easier time portraying Barry.

Its ironic because while I found him likable enough, you could make the argument he is the most redundant member of the cast, since he isn't as strong as Superman and Wonder Woman, never makes use of his aquatic powers except to save the JL in Gotham City and doesn't do anything special power-wise.
