Since I've already reviewed the Justice League film it's time to review the film's characters and the people that played them. (Warning: There will be spoilers about the film in my review.)

Batman

For the record I love Batman. He's 1 of the coolest looking heroes ever. Plus he's 1 of the funniest (well the Adam West versions of him are really funny.) I was expecting Batman to be my favorite character in the film, but he's not. Batman's cynical and cruel personality in Batman V Superman was interesting and well done. Batman losing hope and regaining it towards the end of that film was well done. I was expecting Batman to be more likeable and heroic in this film, but he's not. He's the least helpful during their battles against Steppenwolf. He was also kind of a jerk in some scenes. Batman is 1 of the best super heroes ever and this film doesn't prove that.

However Ben Affleck plays Batman well. He's not my favorite Batman, but he does a good job. Batman does have some funny scenes and as usual his costume is really cool looking. Plus I'm a big Batman fan so I guess I have mixed feelings about this film's version of Batman.

Superman

Superman is my favorite character in the film. It takes a long time for him to come back, but it was worth the wait. Every scene that he was in was good. Superman briefly acts out of control when he comes back to life, but after that he acts like the most heroic, optimistic, and coolest character in the film. His fight scene with Steppenwolf was the coolest fight scene in the film.

Henry Cavill is my favorite Superman actor. He plays the most interesting and coolest version of Superman and he does a awesome job at making Superman a great character. I wish Superman came back to life earlier, but other than that Superman lived up to the super part of his name.

Wonder Woman

I've never been a big Wonder Woman film so I wasn't looking forward to her role in the film. However she was okay. She was more tolerable in this film than she was in the previous films. Also her first scene in the film was pretty cool. However I'm still not a fan of her. Her personality isn't very interesting and her immodest costume is 1 of the worst super hero costumes ever.

Aquaman

Aquaman has always been 1 of my favorite DC super heroes. This film's version of Aquaman is so much different than how he used to act and look, but I enjoyed it. He was entertaining and fun. Jason Momoa did a good job at playing him. There hasn't been that many Aquaman actors, but Jason Moma's my favorite Aquaman actor.

The Flash

The Flash is a character I liked and after watching this film I like Flash more. The Flash's running power is very cool. Also he is very funny in the film. I was pleasantly surprised by how goofy he was. Ezra Miller gave a energetic and well done performance as Flash.

Cyborg

Cyborg seemed like a weird choice to be 1 of the Justice League members considering he's mostly known as a Teen Titans member. Despite that I liked him in the film. He had a sympathetic backstory. He was cool and helpful to the group. Ray Fisher's performance as Cyborg was well done. Using Cyborg instead of Green Lantern seemed quite odd and not a good idea, but it actually worked out well. (I hope Green Lantern has a role in the sequel.)

Steppenwolf

Steppenwolf seems to be the most disliked character in the film by critics, but I liked him. Steppenwolf is a extremely weird choice to be the main villain considering he's a barely known character who's basically a sidekick to Darkseid. Despite that Steppenwolf is very threatening and intimidating. He may not of had a complex backstory, but he worked great for this fun blockbuster. He seemed to be the strongest character in the film other than Superman. Ciaran Hinds did a great job at playing Steppenwolf.

The Parademons

The Parademons aren't much more than creatures for the heroes to fight, but they at least had some cool fight scenes.

Alfred Pennyworth

Alfred was a big scene stealer in the film. The DCEU's version of Alfred is arguably cooler than their version of Batman. Jeremy Irons did a awesome job at playing Alfred. He's so great as Alfred that I want Alfred to get his own spin-off film called "Super Butler."

Lois Lane

The DCEU Lois is very nice and sweet. Her romance with Superman is cute. Amy Adams is the best Lois Lane actress in my opinion.

Commissioner Gordon

Jim Gordon is barely in the film, but J. K. Simmons did a impressive job at playing him. He's so good as Jim Gordon that I hope he returns in future DC films.

Queen Mera

Queen Mera has a small role, but I already think she's cool. I like her personality and her costume looks so cool. I look forward to her in the Aquaman film.

Lex Luthor

Amazing cameo! I love Jesse Eisnberg's performance and I hope he returns soon. It's so exicting that he's planning on making a villain team.
