Good point, they need a very different squad from the last big budget live action Suicide Squad movie that everyone is sick of already.
edit: Of course the actual members aren't important so much as how they're written and acted. I just like that version of the team and so did a lot of other people. Plus the idea that they have to be a different squad for the first movie is just silly.

My niece used to watchthe Krypto cartoonevery day way too many times. That theme song is stuck in my head forever now. Not even the actual song, just the high-pitched KRYPTOOOO.

I can't help but get the feeling there's some conflict within the studio as to whether or not they are doing an adaptation of Frank Miller'sThe Dark Knight Returns. On one hand, it's Superman vs. Batman and apparently Carrie Kelley is Robin... but then Lex Luthor is the main villain and Wonder Woman and Cyborg are in it.
Regardless, I am surprised they'd go with a female Robin since introducing Dick Grayson would leave them open to eventually doing a Nightwing movie.

They seem to be trying to out-Avengers Marvel/Disney. "Oh you made a bunch of movies and then brought them together into a mega hit? Well fuck you! We'll put the whole DC Universe into our first picture!!"
It also seems pretty clear that they continually evolved their storyline and scope of the thing as they went along. I very much doubt they had much in the line of a definitive narrative planned out when they first announced Batman Superman

How do the DC people not realize throwing as many heroes/villains into a single movie as they can is a recipe for failure? I'm guessing none of them have seen Batman and Robin or Spider-Man 3.
I'm still optimistic about this since I really enjoyed Man of Steel, but it seems like each update I read makes it harder and harder to stay positive.

Combining the above two posts, the movie would work if it was blur's intro for DCU, but 2 hours long.

By the timeBatman v Supermancomes out, they'll have far too much momentum to do anything but push forward. By that point, they'll likely already have three films in production (Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, andJustice League 1) with another two (The FlashandAquaman) probably in pre-production. To do anything other than release those films would be a financial disaster. At least putting them out means they can recoup some of the cost.
I think the one smart decision they potentially have made is to haveSuicide Squadbe the movie immediately afterBatman v Superman. Depending on their plans with it, it's a movie that might not have significant ties to the Justice League and that could buy them some time to retool the rest of their plans.
