The movie is really great according to the fans and each and every moviegoer whether he/she is a comic book fan or not, came out having a good time watching the movie.

Still, the movie was great but it wasn’t without flaws. It left us with so many burning questions. Here is a list.
Justice League was a huge movie for Warner Bros as a lot was riding on it. The entire future of DC Films shared Universe rested on the shoulders of this DC team-up movie, and it did end up delivering more or less. The earnings are not as big as expected, but the movie will turn out to be very profitable on the box office after its theatrical run ends. Justice League currently stands on $613 Million on the worldwide Box Office.
Now, that the movie has done well overall even after getting mixed reviews, WB can focus on the upcoming projects which are currently under works. DC has a bright future and Warner Bros. has officially revealed their upcoming slate of DC movies at Comic-Con Experience 2017 in Brazil.
This slate is actually similar to what was revealed at New York Comic-Con, with WB and DC now consolidating the projects they are currently focussing on. At Brazil Comic-Con, The first film revealed was a sequel to Wonder Woman, which we know that it is coming out in 2019. The second title card was for Aquaman, which is already under production, and will come out in December 2018.
A title card for Flashpoint was shown as well, indicating that progress on the film has been made, and a Director is being looked for hiring. After that Justice League Dark also had a title card revealed, even after the movie lost its director, Dough Liman.
The 5th card was for Suicide Squad 2. The 6th one was for Shazam. After that, both members of the Bat-family – Batgirl, and Batman also received title cards for their solo films. And finally, Green Lantern Corps was also given its own title card.
