re: Eisenberg's Luthor vs. Leto's Joker

They all pretty effortlessly destroy Superman in combat.

And Superman should have the power of a nuclear bomb. At least give himself someone like Metallo that explains it.

Honestly, if I were designing the DCEU, for the Justice League villains, here's what I'd go with:

I: Brainiac
II: Brainiac-Infused Luthor (give him way more powers, creativity, and personality than the original Brainiac)
III: Darkseid

Instead they introduce Darkseid and what he'll do in the second film and arrest Luthor in his first appearance, when he should be an incredibly overarching villain.

And Luthor is such a good character that you don't have to have him as the villain in all of the movies he appears in. I'm just stunned they didn't immediately think of the President Luthor angle.

I really think that Kevin Smith is right that the only comic Zack Snyder has read is "The Dark Knight Returns", in addition to skimming Watchmen and 300. I'm sorry, but no one should direct a Superman movie unless they've read All-Star Superman a dozen times. That should be the core of Superman and all the characters around him. There's no way in hell Snyder read that comic, because he would have never interpreted literally all the characters the way he did.
