To say that DC Extended Universe fans have had a tortured relationship with critics, bloggers and Rotten Tomatoes is a massive understatement to say the least. For most of us, none of what has been said by any of those outlets has meant anything to us since March 25, 2016, maybe even before that. We are probably the first major fan base out of many to tell people that they should make their own decisions, form their own opinions and not give so much reverence to an arbitrary percentage on a website with a highly flawed pass/fail mechanic.

All of that being said, many of us would also be lying to you if we said that we weren't happy about Wonder Woman's certified fresh rating on RT when it was released. I'll fully admit that it's a lot less stressful when the critics finally appear to enjoy one of the movies from your favorite franchise. Acknowledging that doesn't mean that you are putting great stock in RT or the critics at all, it just means that you are happy to see it positively recognized. Most of us are, I would think.

The thing is, a good amount of DCEU fans think that will be short-lived and that the critics will go right back to firebombing the franchise critically once Zack Snyder's Justice League hits theaters on November 17. Their reasons for it are understandable. Critical hatred of Snyder as a director, disapproval of "Batfleck," and the ever-present but ridiculously illogical belief that Justice League is a rushed attempt to catch up to the Marvel Cinematic Universe are just a few of the "Trumped-up" reasons that fans are convinced the critics are holding on to for their next critical assault on the DCEU.

I've personally become convinced that such an assault is not going to happen to Justice League, at least not anywhere near what we saw with the first three DCEU movies. Going into Wonder Woman, I had a feeling that it would be the first "fresh" DCEU movie and it was by an even wider margin than I thought would be possible. So now the question becomes whether or not Wonder Woman represents the turning point for critical acclaim with the DCEU as a franchise, or was it just one case of the critics getting exactly what they wanted and being nice for once? I say it was the turning point and there's a decent amount of reasons for them, but fair warning to DCEU fans: you're not going to like all of them. I certainly don't, but I acknowledge what I think is going to happen and how it will affect the criticism of Justice League.

Now, let's dig into why the critics are going to praise Justice League:
