It's pretty clear that Cyborg in the JL would appeal to the younger, Millennial crowd. Because, he's always connect to the internet, yo. Boo-yah!
Too bad the character itself is just boring.

Agreed. Didio, Lee and Johns really screwed the pooch with that nonsense.
Martian Manhunter >>>>>>>> Cyborg. And it's not even close.
Watch Cyborg be the break out character.
As for Martian Manhunter, he's constantly getting the shaft and I really don't like it. He's got a great backstory, a striking design, a unique "voice" and he's shafted just cause.

Didio has done lots of bad things. But Geoff is doing worse to the Green Lantern line, so at least he's got some competition.

Super smart and has pretty nifty powers as a result, Olympic-level athlete, has a major trauma inflicted on him as an adult, is keeping an interesting legacy going, and is atheist, this is fertile ground for a very cool movie.I'm not the biggest Mr. Terrific fan because he suffers from the "too smart", as I like to call it, syndrome. Making your character a super-genius is fine, but they took it to whole new levels with him. Blue Marvel was a super-genius, but he studied like a normal smart person. He skipped a few classes and got his doctorate earlier. Same goes for Richards, Stark and the like. But with Terrific, they went above and beyond and gave him 14 doctorates at age 15 or so, which is just absurd. There's a difference between fiction and complete fantasy. Even if he was that smart that he could memorize everything just by looking at it, he was just a normal kid and each day still had 24 hours. He couldn't possibly fit all of his studying in such a small timeframe.
Anyway, if you drop that and make it more believable, say 5 or 6 doctorates at 5 or so, I'm game for it. He's got an interesting backstory/premise (with Fair Play and the like) and kick-*** costume, so I'd be down for such a film. But yeah, Stewart or Holt would've been much better choices.
"I've heard every song, I'm always connected to the net!"
Agreed. He's shafted because the 3 before-mentioned yokels running the show at DC don't care for him.
I'm pretty sure that no one outside of virgin losers have even heard of him though. Or something.
Cyclops called, said for Martian Manhunter to stop his whining.

The way the current Cyborg is written there is no way he listens to anything other than Hip-Hop.
He will be resurrected as the best Superman ever!Those of you who hate the Jesus allegories with Supes must really be eagerly anticipating The Resurrection. lol
On the fight: In TDKR Batman is considerably older and can't really be as hands-on as Affleck's Batman who's old, yes, but he's in his mid 40s or so, whereas TDKR Bruce was in his 60s IIRC. Plus, that Batman and Superman had a history, same with Green Arrow. It was supposed to be more than a fight, kinda like a clash of these 2 old friends who drifted apart due to ideological differences.
On Joker: It's meant to be ambiguous, kinda like the Mutant's "death" (ala the burning scene in BvS). Apparently, Joker, seeing as this is the "end", twists his own neck to frame Batman. But, if you look at it from another POV, it's as if Batman finally snapped and killed him, but he doesn't want to accept that, so he "imagines" Joker "killing" himself. In sumary, it's up to you.
Good call there.He's basically a more altruistic, less cynical version of Ozymandias.
Edit: Also, less white.
Hey, Cyclops. Stop THIS!Cyclops called, said for Martian Manhunter to stop his whining.
If I remember correctly (it's been quite awhile since I read TDKR), in that scene Bats begins to break Jokers neck and twists it until the last possible instance and pulls back at the last second. So, just before he can kill him, Bruce can't go through with it and stops. However, his actions cause the Joker to be paralyzed from the neck down. So, the Joker in his last defiant act starts to laugh and finishes twisting his own neck and killing himself in the process while laughing away. At least that's the way I took it. No way a character like the Joker could stand to be locked away paralyzed in Arkham while the Bat is running around in the world. So, by making it look like Bats snapped his neck he frames him as a murderer and gets to die with the warm thought that Bats may end his days locked up in the Asylum himself.
Surely they'd give Batman a pass on killing the Joker though, I mean, really....
