"The world needs Superman... the team needs Clark. He's more human I am. He lived in this world, fell in love, had a job. In spite of all that power." – Bruce Wayne

Why watch this? The first Justice League film to hit theaters was good, but below fan expectations.

Plot Summary: After Superman's sacrifice, Batman and Wonder Woman work together to recruit a team of meta-humans to defend the world. Facing a newly awakened enemy, Steppenwolf, this unprecedented league of heroes must unite to prevent a catastrophic assault. Despite the powerful team assembled, saving the planet from this threat may already be too late.
 

Dad's Preview: FINALLY! The greatest DC super-heroes together in one film. Fan expected The Avengers (2012), but that's not what we got. Instead, the executives at Warner Bros., who clearly had lost faith in director Zach Snyder's vision, decided to force Snyder out, bring in Avengers' director, Joss Whedon, to basically make a different film. The result reflects all those interferences. It has great performances, some spectacular special effects, and many great moments, yet it feels disjointed. You can tell Whedon's mission was to lighten up the tone. Some of that works, some does not. Later during COVID, Zach Snyder did make his version, called The Snyder-Cut (Zack Snyder's Justice League) in 2021, to realize his plan, and serve as an ode to DC's disappointed fans.
