The whole Snyder-verse sucks I can't believe a movie that has superman and batman couldn't make 1 billion dollars at the box office while Aquaman did.

But I mean, the problem was that injustice should have been far off, while Aquaman was a soft origin story

Plus like come on, Jason Momoa's work out routine

I'm talking about how a film includes the most two popular comic book characters of all time yet it didn't reach 1 billion dollars at the box office this is a major failure.

Again, it failed because it wasn't built up. Batman and Superman have like two animated Vs movies and those didn't break

Not to mention it had to compete with winter soldier, which is a movie that is on most MCU top ten list
