6 Burning Questions After Watching Justice League

The poor rugged guy is constantly teased about being able to talk to fish, and he didn't really pack much of a punch against Steppenwolf or Superman. Plus, he didn't even know he was lassoed by Wonder Woman, even if that was a just-for-laughs moment. But hold your condescending smirk — the ruler of the seas is actually pretty cool. Here are his rightful powers (that we hope will be flashed out in his solo movie, out next year):

1. Yes, he can talk to and control fish, or more specifically, all marine life. Even life forms that originated from the oceans such as humans or certain aliens are subject to his manipulation, albeit to a smaller degree.

2. He is the Michael Phelps of superheroes who can swim up to 11,265 km/h underwater. Point of reference: A torpedo can travels at 370 km/h. Yes, he's real fast.

3. He can go toe-to-toe with Superman sometimes — in the comics. In terms of brute strength he's behind Superman and Wonder Woman, but only a little.

4. His trident (which Batman called a pitchfork) can summon lightning and create force fields. In other words, much much cooler than the Dark Knight's throwing batarangs.

It's obviously some kind of transport system that reminds us of alien abductions or the beam of light Mr. Bean drops out of. But there are so many questions! Does it lead to the villain's hometown of Apokolips? If so, then why didn't the Justice League follow Steppenwolf back? Especially since it's powerful enough to transport him to guarded places like Themyscira and Atlantis. Why was no one even curious? What if he came back with a larger army the same way? We're scratching our heads too.

If you're think the Mother Boxes are just plot devices, you're probably right. There's so many plot holes regarding these cubes that it's actually fun trying to see how many we could uncover.

We know these artefacts are at the centre of the movie, because Steppenwolf wants to use them to take over Earth, and he only came for them when the three Mother Boxes are 'awakened'. So why did they come out of their centuries-long slumber now? According to big bad man himself, it's because Superman is dead so these sentient supercomputers know there is no one left who can repel the villain. But wait, if these three items have been here for so long, why didn't they wake up before Supes even crashed onto Earth? And if Superman's death really was the catalyst, how did Cyborg's father wake it to save Cyborg's life before Superman died?

Don't worry it's not your eyesight or the very unnecessary 3D effects. Parts of the movie looked copy pasted because it is. Justice League doesn't just count Zack Snyder, who did Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman, as its director. It's also partly helmed by Avengers director Joss Whedon, which is why you found the movie lighter and with more Avengers-style wry jokes. It's reported that about 20 per cent of the movie was re-shot by Whedon. The reshoots reportedly cost US$25 million (S$34 million).

DC fanatics already know the answer to that one. In the comics, the Fastest Man Alive has beat The Man of Steel... three times.

We know Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) have escaped an asylum, and waiting for the arrival of a guest on his swanky yacht. Donning a black and orange combat suit and a pair of wicked katanas is none other than one of DC's most iconic villains, Deathstroke. Played True Blood's Joe Manganiello, the assassin (who also goes by Slade Wilson, no relations Wade 'Deadpool' Wilson) is approached by Luthor to form a super-villain group, a kind of anti-Justice League. Does this mean Justice League 2 will be a showdown between the two super groups?
