LONDON Nov 08 (TNS):<\/strong> Saving Metropolis and Gotham City from the clutches of super-villains might be enough pressure for the average caped crusader but the cast of the forthcoming\u00a0Justice League<\/em>\u00a0film also face another equally-terrifying foe: film critics.<\/p>\n

The film is the latest installment from the DC comics stable of super-heroes – a series which, with the notable exception of this summer\u2019s \u201cWonder Woman\u201d, has met with a less than positive critical response and has failed to match the box office of rival Marvel\u2019s biggest super-hero offerings.<\/p>\n

The film features a host of major DC characters and box office stars including Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Ezra Miller as the Flash.<\/p>\n

Gadot won both critical plaudits and box office success for \u201cWonder Woman\u201d, which was directed by Patty Jenkins, and she is confident that the experience from that film helped her reprise the character in \u201cJustice League\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI had almost no transition from Wonder Woman because I finished Wonder Woman and the next day I went to set to start working on Justice League,\u201d she told.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was already in the character and I only had to serve the story and the context of every scene and just you know be there and serve the director\u2019s vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Momoa was hopeful for the film\u2019s prospects, telling Reuters \u201cI really hope that the fans enjoy what Zack (Snyder, the director) and I have done with Aquaman.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s predecessor, 2016\u2019s \u201cBatman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice,\u201d grossed just over $870 million at the global box office according to film revenue website Box Office Mojo, but received a 27 percent rating on film review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Another recent entry in the DC franchise, 2016\u2019s \u201cSuicide Squad,\u201d opened to an equally poor critical reception, and took around $745 million at the global box office.<\/p>\n

While both totals are not insubstantial, they are dwarfed by Marvel\u2019s big hits – 2012\u2018S \u201cThe Avengers\u201d and 2015\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Age of Ultron,\u201d which took $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion respectively.<\/p>\n

Audiences in 2017 however warmed to \u201cWonder Woman,\u201d which grossed over $80 million more at the US box office than \u201cDawn of Justice,\u201d as well at proving a hit with critics, garnering a 92 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.<\/p>\n
