While plot details are being kept under wraps, the story revolves around a dark Justice League team that consists of John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon.
Um... does throwing these guys into a team up movie with no intro sound like even more of a shit show than Suicide Squad? At least the team in Suicide Squad was pretty straight forward. Sniper guy, rope guy, fire dude, guy with boomerangs (because that's seems like a crucial ingredient for success), hot chick with hot pants... all relatively easy to explain to the audience, even if having to do so is way less than ideal.
Now you've got magic dude, plant elemental, possession guy, magic chick, and a literal demon from hell. Good luck with that, there'll probably be pornos out there that have better defined characters.
Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!

It does fit the Guardians of the Galaxy mold better.
Constantine - Star Lord
Etrigan - Drax
Swamp Thing - Groot
Zatanna isn't a great parallel to Gamora but she's the token woman.
Deadman isn't a good fit for Rocket but maybe they can bring in Detective Chimp or Tawky Tawny.

They have defined characters, you probably haven't read or watched them. All perfectly good characters as long as they're written correctly.

Some of those are a bit of a stretch, plus the GoTG characters had straightforward powers of punching and shooting.

I had no idea who anyone in the New 52 Demon Knights was and I immediately fell in love with it. (Counter-counterpoint: it was cancelled before I read the first volume).
Am I the only one that thinks Leto wasn't method enough when it came to his co-stars? Like he just half-assed it? I mean, if you're going to troll people as the Joker, used condoms and pictures of dead pigs is fuckin' bush league.
(Still don't think this version of the Joker is any good, but that's because Leto sucks as opposed to what we saw of the writing.)

What would whole-assing it be? Going all Killing Joke on them?
For just a second I thought that pic was Lobo. Which is nonsense since that would be fun.
Lobo is supposed to be funny and completely over the top... if they did a Lobo in this style it would drain every last iota of fun out of it.
He'd probably wind up being the last of his species (and not because he purposefully murdered them all), brooding over his place in the universe and what it means, tormented and tortured and just sooooo alone.
He'd have nothing but himself and his beloved space dolphin(s) to help overcome the tremendous burden of being entirely alone in all the universe.
I'd hate to see what they would do with his character.

There was a rumor that he was meant to have a movie in the DCEU, that's died. For now. The Rock's Shazam movie is supposed to occur in the DCEU. *sigh*

Actually I think Leto did a fine crazy glower; the problem is that the writing didn't give him anything remotely Joker-ish to do (or even say, half the time).
What's hilarious about Dark Mullet Superman is that Snyder's only doing him because of a slavish devotion to comic continuity -- "that's what he did when he died!" But not only will 99 percent of the audience just read it as a continuing slide to unpleasant grimdark, I'd say 99 percent of the one percent that would actually get the reference would be perfectly happy keeping Dark Mullet Superman from ever resurfacing.

Darkest Timeline would have been more appropriate, I feel
Maybe Katana as a carry over because magic sword.
Etrigan and spectre maybe?
It'll be weirder when Justice League Dark ends up Justice League Light by comparison to BvS.

90's Mullet Superman looks but with MoS/BvS EVERYTHING ELSE! He doesn't even look happy to be alive!

edit: I mean...
Fuck yeah. A movie that'll let Karen Fukuhara be allowed to shine on screen is fine with me. Pity how she was wasted in SS, that Katana had potential.

$580 million according to Box Office Mojo.
Why would it need $700 million to break even?
Because apparently it's expensive to make terrible films.
And it's more expensive to market them and try to make people think they're not terrible.
Easier to burn everything on-set and try for an insurance pay out.

They need to go all-in and have late-90s electric superman.

They're saving that for Justice League 2.

They'd make it about Nu52 Lobo.
To be fair I'd rather be dead then alive in his universe too.
