Yeah they're either A. Going to tell everyone's story in one 2.5 hour movie or they are going to do what Hollywood does and B. Toss a bunch of characters into the movie and rush the time and care a project like this should warrant. You have to make a movie that the comic book fans who know the backstory, and the people who don't know anything about the character can appreciate to maximize your profits. If you assume people know these characters and you don't need to give proper time and backstory to them then you're going to have a bunch of critics and average joes and janes shrugging their shoulders like you had with Watchmen. If you just throw a bunch of shit at the wall and see what sticks then you'll piss off the source material and you'll become Batman and Robin. It's a fine line, but it feels like they're rushing it. The one thing Man of Steel had going for it was how intricately they told the backstory of Krypton. Everyone knows Batman but skimping on Wonder Woman would do a female heroine of great popularity a major disservice.
