If you look at it that way, you have to ask why characters like Gambit etc, or more classic characters like Beast and Angel werent in the first X-Men film.
Because at the end of the day, they are not as popular as Wolverine. C'mon, I loved the first X movie, but the focus was more on Wolvie for a reason. You make it classic v. popular and polpular is going to win each time, because - for example - an X movie with Logan is going to bring in more money than one without. It just so happens that Batman and Superman are both popular and classic.
But thats not your argument. Your argument is that "as a fan girl" you expect them to be in it!
Yes! Because they are popular and the most interesting (well, at least Batman is)...

Why would not an X-Men fanboy/girl/Elsia not expect the same?
I have no idea what Elsia expects - I don't speak "judgmental moron".
As for the rest of the fans - any fan of the X-men (which I do like, just not as much as I like DC's trinity) has to recognize that Wolverine is more popular than the Beast - just as, say, a Green Lantern fan has to be aware that Batman is more popular. If GL got cut, it would be less surprising than Batman or Supes getting cut.

The lineup used in X-Men was not the line up used in the "more popular than Superman or Batman" comics or the line up used in the "popular" cartoons!
Cyclops/Wolverine/Jean/Iceman/Rogue/Storm - all popular and all in the movie! And which cartoon are you thinking of? The one in the mid-90's? Or the more modern one?
I still think that the trinity should be in the JLA movie though.
So there!
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
