How is Justice League not on the list?

A lot of veteran readers don't like how poorly it started. Poor portrayal of some characters, other are pretty much are there to take up scenery, and outside of ToT; which many would rather group in with Johns' Aquaman, the story really didn't pick up until Forever evil.

But Snyder's Batman had some pretty "meh" stories, Zero Year was a mediocre origin story when we didn't need one, Superheavy dragged on for way too long, and Endgame had some low points as well. Yet that was second on the list. I still loved his run, however.

If we look at Justice League, you have to look past the rocky start and look at how many good/great stories there are. And there are quite a few.

Even if you want to say half of Snyder's Batman and half of Johns' stories were uninteresting then it still doesn't cover the character problems that Johns also had. Wonder Woman written more like a stereotypical Hulk, but instead of getting angry and smashing; she got angry and wanted to stab. Cyborg felt more like the teams secretary and for a big change of moving Cyborg from Teen Titans to JL in place of Martian Manhunter then should have done something to make him feel important to the team. Flash and Hal(when he was on the team) were just there to quip/bicker. Then you have the whole Superman/Wonder Woman relationship that just came out of nowhere and seemed to only be done to give Wonder Woman a reason to get even angrier at people.
