I’m cautiously optimistic about Warner Bros Pictures’ foray into bringing DC Comics’ Justice League team to the cinematic world. While they’ve been given a good start with Man of Steel, and this year’s Batman vs Superman: The Dwan of Justice and Suicide Squad are looking set to be great movies, I worry that they are tailing on the back of …
