I am a major fan of superhero movies. I’ve enjoyed just about every Marvel movie that’s come out in the last decade. And since I’ve known more about DC heroes than Marvel ones for most of my life, I’ve looked forward even more to seeing films in that universe. But then I saw the DC movies that came out...
