There's so very little we know about Zach Snyder's "Justice League" films. Mostly, we know that they will feature at least Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman (also, probably Aquaman and Cyborg, and maybe the Flash and Green Lantern). But they're a long way into the future- the first film, "Justice League, Part One" will release all the way out on November 17, 2017.
But thanks to a new report from Tech Times, we may know a heap of new information about the upcoming superhero epic. They're claiming that several people who have read an early draft of the "Justice League" script are not particularly satisfied with it.
The biggest complaint these (supposed) script readers have is that the film is too complicated. According to the rumors, the film goes so in-depth with DC Comics characters and mythology that those who don't already have a sizable knowledge of the Justice League might be left out of the loop.
As well, more rumors may give us the film's villain: Vril Dox, who in the current New 52 comic book continuity, becomes the villain Braniac. That makes a lot of sense- Brainiac's a fairly sizable villain and his plans usually involve shrinking and/or destroying the Earth (thus posing a sizable enough threat that the Justice League would need to team up and handle it).
And though many have asked for Darkseid as a Justice League villain, Brainiac makes more sense. Darkseid is perhaps the biggest baddie the Justice League usually faces- it's best not to use him up in the first film (DC may be taking a cue from Marvel on this one, as that studio's saving their biggest villain, Thanos, for "Avengers 3").
One final note: the rumors are giving the film a tentative title, "Justice League: Braniac's Saga." And that is an abysmal title, which may threaten the validity of this rumor. But then, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" isn't that great itself, so maybe Warner Bros just has a titling problem across the board.
