One of the most attention-grabbing talking points is to compare <em>Solo</em> with <em>Justice Leagu</em>e, thereby equating Star Wars with the <a href="https://screenrant.com/justice-league-box-office-profit-warner-bros/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">same precarious position</a> in which the DCEU finds itself after <a href="https://screenrant.com/batman-v-superman-profit-comparison-man-of-steel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the financial woes</a> seen by <a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/batman-v-superman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong><em>Batman v Superman</em></strong></a> and <a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/justice-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em><strong>Justice League.</strong></em></a></p><p>At a glance, the comparison doesn't seem so far-fetched: both were grand franchise films with out-of-control budgets, both infamously replaced their directors deep into production, and both experienced box office openings which were far below expectations. As usual, however, the truth is far more nuanced than that. At best, comparisons between the two films are well-intentioned but misinformed. At worst, they're sensationalist and downright irresponsible. Either way, <strong>Comparing <em>Solo</em> To <em>Justice League</em> Isn't Fair To Either Franchise.</strong></p> <strong>Click to continue reading <a href="https://screenrant.com/solo-justice-league-director-comparisons/">Comparing Solo To Justice League Isn't Fair To Either Franchise</a></strong><br /><br /> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://screenrant.com/solo-justice-league-director-comparisons/">Comparing Solo To Justice League Isn't Fair To Either Franchise</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://screenrant.com/">ScreenRant</a>
