17-November Justice League 2017 Release Full Movie Online

17-November Justice League 2017 Release Full Movie Online. Wonder Woman Epilogue Clip May or May Not Hint at ‘Justice League’ Connection. One of 2017’s best films, Wonder Woman, is now available on Digital HD, and in celebration of the movie’s home video release, Warner Bros. has unveiled a new clip from the bonus features. When the full list of bonus features was revealed, one in particular stood out: an epilogue called “Etta’s Mission.” Was this intended to be a post-credits scene? Would it connect to another DCEU movie? Well lucky for you, it’s now online to watch.

 Justice League Full Movie

The clip finds Lucy Davis’ Etta Candy rounding up Steve and Diana’s military crew of Sameer (Saïd Taghmaoui), Charlie (Ewen Bremner), and Chief Napi (Eugene Brave Rock) to pitch a new mission that involves fetching a mysterious artifact that must be recovered and handed to the Americans before it falls into the wrong hands. It’s a frustratingly brief clip and it’s very scant on details, but it does seem to hint at the possibility that this crew is responsible for uncovering one of the Motherboxes that serve as the MacGuffins for Justice League.

Director Patty Jenkins reveals to Yahoo!, which debuted the clip, that this epilogue was actually shot after production had wrapped:

It was conceived after we wrappe. And every single one of us wished that Etta was in every scene, as well as the team. We were like, ‘Can we just put them in everything?’ They were just so great! So [the epilogue] was kind of a shared delight. We started to have these incredible materials that started to come together on the documentary side, but we also loved the idea of having another scene and some other things, and bringing back some of our favorite characters and getting to mess around with them some more. So it just came very naturally the idea of getting to see her and the team making the plan for the future was pretty exciting.

Check out the clip below. Wonder Woman is available on Digital HD now and arrives on Ultra HD Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, and Blu-ray combo pack on September 19th.

Watch Justice League Full Movie (New Leak)

Justice League Movie LEAK: Armie Hammer’s Green Lantern set for debut?

JUSTICE LEAGUE full movie has seen a new leak which suggests Green Lantern will be joining Ben Affleck’s Batman, Henry Cavill’s Superman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.

Since the movie was announced, fans have been wondering where the seventh member of the Justice League has been hiding.

From the trailers and posters the new DC movie will see Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg unite.

Meanwhile Superman is set to make a return following his teased resurrection at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

But where is Green Lantern? Well a new leak suggests fans won’t have to wait very long to see him.
 

A fan on Reddit has posted the upcoming Justice League soundtrack, which features a song called Unite The Seven by Imagine Dragons.

This largely implies that Green Lantern will finally be introduced in the blockbuster movie.

This follows another spot back in June when the DC Extended Universe opening of Wonder Woman featured all the main superheroes in the franchise, including Green Lantern standing with Justice League.

In previous months Hammer has been rumoured to have scored the role, with the actor often teasing fans about it on his Twitter account.

While a Justice League appearance hasn’t been officially confirmed, a Green Lantern Corps movie is due in 2020 – with no announced casting as of yet.

Justice League will be released in UK cinemas on November 17, 2017.

Justice League 5 Theories Full Movie

JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE- 5 Theories About How Superman Will Return To The DC Extended Universe. There are a number of rumours doing the rounds about how Superman will return to the land of the living in Justice League movie and we've collected five compelling theories we think explain his resurrection.

In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Zack Snyder surprised us all when he killed the Man of Steel. Of course, we already knew at that point that Henry Cavill would be reprising the role in Justice League but this shocking turn of events left everyone talking about the many ways the filmmaker could bring the hero back. Superman has, of course, died in the comic books but those aren't too helpful here.

After all, it's hard to imagine that we're going to meet a variety of Superman claiming to be the one, true Clark Kent as was the case in those but there are still some other pretty compelling theories!

What you'll find here is a look at five different explanations for how the iconic DC Comics superhero could return to the land of the living in Justice League when it's finally released this November. Warner Bros. may have shown him in promotional material but there's been no sign of Supes in the trailers, posters, or stills so who knows how he's going to come back. Well, we believe we have the answer...

5. Time Travel

One of Batman v Superman's most confusing moments came when Bruce Wayne was awoken by the Flash travelling back in time to deliver a dire warning from the future. It made little to no sense but it was clear that Zack Snyder was setting something up for another film. While Barry Allen's cryptic message admittedly didn't seem to have much to do with resurrecting the Man of Steel, a way could be found to make that the case.

Things getting so bad that the Flash needs to travel back in time to fix them would open the door to Superman's return even if it's as simple as stopping Steppenwolf's invasion altogether by ensuring Superman didn't fall in battle against Doomsday in the first place.

This is a tough one to figure out as time travel has a tendency to be so convoluted and confusing but with Flashpoint sounding more and more like another Justice League movie, it could be that new director Joss Whedon uses these despots to add more time travel shenanigans setting the stage for that adventure. Either way, this might be one of the easier ways to bring Supes back and eliminates the complications surrounding Clark Kent's return too.

Justice League Full Movie art Superman Featured

Superman Featured in New Justice League Movie Poster. A new Justice League full movie art poster from Film Cell Ltd has Superman seemingly back from the dead and united with The Flash, Aquaman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg.

The "Justice League movie (United We Stand) MightyPring Wall Art" poster features the Flash, Aquaman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg all poised to strike while Superman looms large, hovering just slightly behind them. While Superman has appeared in other Justice League merchandise, this is the first time we've seen him with the rest of the team. The Man of Steel has yet to appear in any theatrical trailers or posters.

As for the rest of the heroes, the team appears to be wearing the same outfits we have already seen them in, just with different poses. However, even with nothing new revealed about the upcoming film, but at least fans are finally getting to see the whole team ready to fight to save the world together.

Justice League holds a 4.19 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings, and you can find the description for Justice League below.

In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League (Ben Affleck) Full Movie

Ben Affleck promises 'a more traditional Batman' in Justice League full movie. To read more from our Fall Movie Preview, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands Friday, or buy it here now. Don’t forget to subscribe for more exclusive interviews and photos, only in EW.

Justice League Movie will mark Ben Affleck’s second feature film as Batman. Well, technically it’s his third. “Do I get credit for the Suicide Squad gross?” the actor laughs, joking (and underestimating) that he was onscreen for “less than 35 seconds” in last year’s supervillain team-up film. He’ll have a decidedly larger role when DC’s good guys mobilize in the November blockbuster, which unites Affleck’s Dark Knight and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman alongside Ezra Miller’s Flash, Ray Fisher’s Cyborg, and Jason Momoa’s Aquaman. (And maybe Henry Cavill’s Superman, if he’s not quite dead.)

That means Batman has to learn to work together with his fellow superheroes. “He’s put in this position of having to reach out, find other people, convincing them to do something,” Affleck explains. “Part of the drama of the movie is the question of whether or not the team is going to come together. It’s very different from the tenor of the last movie.”

And the character is very different, too. “BvS departed a little bit from the traditional Batman,” says Affleck. “He started out with all this rage directed at Superman, because of his coworkers who had died in the fight Superman had with Zod.” For Affleck, most of the hero’s ensuing actions were defined by barely-repressed fury – in contrast to the Batman we meet in Justice League. “He was holding on to a lot of anger, in a little bit of an irrational way,” Affleck says. “Whereas this is a much more traditional Batman. He’s heroic. He does things in his own way, but he wants to save people, help people.”
 

Affleck frames the new attitude as a return to a more classical incarnation of the Caped Crusader. “This is more in keeping with the canon of how Batman’s usually been portrayed, and how he’s portrayed vis a vis the Justice League in the comics,” he explains. “This is more the Batman you would find if you opened up your average Batman comic book.”

“Not that it’s average,” Affleck clarifies. “I think it’s a really cool story. Actually, it’s sort of a story about multilateralism. It’s not a bad theme to have!” Hey, if the universe’s moodiest billionaire can learn the value of collaboration, there’s hope for us all.

Justice League Full Movie New Ending

Joss Whedon's Reshoots Rumored To Have Given 'Justice League' Full Movie A Shiny New Ending. MP staff. I talk about Star Wars a lot. Sometimes I'm paid for it. More ramblings on Twitter @ExtraTremeerial.

What's the best way to start your Monday? With a cup of coffee, a comedy recap of last night's Thrones episode, and a fresh new Justice League rumor, of course! And this week's DCEU leak is a doozy. As if it weren't enough that Joss Whedon's now-infamous reshoots were reportedly ordered to lighten up the movie's tone, a new rumor would have us believe that the entire ending has been drastically changed, which will have a huge impact on the future of the DCEU. Finished your coffee? Ok, then let's get down to it.

From A Cliffhanger To A Closed Case

This rumor comes to us via /Film's Peter Sciretta, who claims to have sources inside the Justice League production. As editor-in-chief of one of the biggest entertainment publications, we can probably treat Sciretta's words with a slightly smaller bucket of salt that accompanies any Hollywood leak and rumor these days. Here's what he had to say on the /FilmDaily podcast yesterday:

    "From what I've heard is happening, Joss Whedon has been brought in to make it lighter, as has been reported, but he's also redoing the ending of the movie."

Sciretta explains that the original plot for Justice League largely dealt with gathering up the Mother Boxes — Darkseid's incredibly advanced alien technology that was lost on Earth. Head of the Mother Box Easter Egg Hunt is Stepphenwolf, the leader of Darkseid's army. So basically, Justice League Part One was the same kind of set-up as The Avengers (and the rest of the MCU) was to Infinity War, putting all the pieces in play, assembling some powerful alien tech (Infinity Stones/Mother Boxes) and foreshadowing the arrival of a bigger, badder, bluer, bad guy. But now all that is set to change:

    "The original ending of the movie from what I understand was, [Stepphenwolf] was kind of playing the Silver Surfer role, with Darkseid playing the Galactus role, and the ending of the movie was a cliffhanger and 'Justice League 2' was going to be 'Justice League vs Darkseid'. Ya know, Darkseid arrives at Earth. This kind of down, dirty ending, and from what I understand that has been completely removed. The ending ends the movie like a movie, it doesn't end on a huge cliffhanger now."

Allegedly, Justice League originally ended on a cliffhanger, with the team gearing up for their ultimate fight with Darkseid, who was to be the Big Bad of Part Two. But just like Infinity War went from being a two-part movie to being self-contained, it seems that Joss Whedon has wrapped Justice League up neatly — and Darkseid may not factor into the DCEU until much later.
Has This Changed The Course Of The DCEU?

Instead, some reshoots have fleshed out Stepphenwolf's character, making him an imposing enough figure to be his own villain, and not just foreshadow the arrival of his commander. At least one of these reshoots was a flashback scene with Robin Wright's Antiope, whom we already heard would be appearing in Justice League:

    "They did a reshoot with Robin Wright from 'Wonder Woman', to set-up a flashback explaining who Steppenwolf is and Steppenwolf is now the big bad of this movie, whereas Darkseid was this looming threat that won't now come I don't think."

These changes are pretty drastic. If Sciretta's information is correct, it sounds like Justice League will be a self-contained plot, allowing whoever takes on Part Two to do whatever they like with it, and whether that means bringing in Darkseid or taking on another epic crossover event from #DC's history, remains to be seen.

It's difficult to know how to feel about this. Assuming all this is true, clearly Whedon really is making huge changes to what Zack Snyder originally intended for the film. It sounds like his alterations are an effort to make the film's conclusion a rousing victory, rather than a gloomy lead-in to a movie yet to come. But who knows, perhaps this will render Justice League just another predictable superhero flick in which the heroes win the day — and maybe a cliffhanger ending, something which hasn't yet been attempted in a superhero movie franchise, would have been refreshing and a way to pique interest.

However, with Thanos finally making his grand entrance into the MCU, the parallels between Infinity War and Justice League are already very apparent. It could be that Whedon hopes the #DCEU will step away from Darkseid, and by making the first Justice League a closed case, he's giving more creative freedom to whoever takes the helm of Part Two. But that's all conjecture, of course.

We'll probably never know what Justice League would have looked like without these reshoots, and we can only hope that whatever changes are being made, they're to the benefit of the film — because Zeus knows the DCEU could do with another win.

Justice League Full Movie Ending (Rumor Joss)

Rumor: Joss Whedon Is Completely Redoing Justice League's Ending. While the reports of Joss Whedon injecting a lighter tone into Justice League Full Movie have been heavily focused on, his other changes might be even more significant.

Whedon took over for director Zack Snyder after he stepped away due to a family tragedy. Whedon will now be bringing the project through to completion, but not without some major changes. According to /Film's Peter Sciretta, that involves the ending.

Sciretta said "From what I've heard is happening, Joss Whedon has been brought in to make it lighter, as has been reported, but he's also redoing the ending of the movie"

Sciretta says the original focus wasn't on Steppenwolf at all, and that's going to change. "Originally this movie is all about the Mother Boxes Ya know. The bad guys are trying to get the Mother Boxes. Steppenwolf is trying to get the mother boxes and he's trying to get the earth ready for the coming of Darkseid. And the original ending of the movie from what I understand was, he was kind of playing the Silver Surfer role, with Darkseid playing the Galactus role, and the ending of the movie was a cliffhanger and Justice League 2 was going to be Justice League vs Darkseid, Ya know, Darkseid arrives at Earth. This kind of down, dirty ending, and from what I understand that has been completely removed. The ending ends the movie like a movie, it doesn't end on a huge cliffhanger now."

Part of those reshoots also involves giving Steppenwolf enough lore to stand on his own, which will be achieved with the help of Robin Wright's Antiope.

"They did a reshoot with Robin Wright from Wonder Woman, and that's going to be, to setup a flashback explaining who Steppenwolf is and Steppenwolf is now the big bad of this movie, whereas Darkseid was this looming threat that won't now come I don't think."

It seems Warner Bros. wants to perhaps take the Thanos approach, leaving their big bad for future films instead of using him so early in the process. Only time will tell if this all makes for a better movie, but assuredly fans will be pleased with the non-cliffhanger ending.

Justice League holds a 4.19 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings, and you can find the description for Justice League below.

Justice League 2017 Full Movie Image Relesed

Justice League: New Steppenwolf Close-Up Image Released. One of the designers behind an upcoming full movie Justice League toy has given fans their best look yet at the face of the film's primary villain, Steppenwolf.

As the release Justice League draws closer, promotional and merchandising imagery are beginning to reveal secrets that Warner Bros. and the filmmakers have not yet shown off in trailers and official interviews. While Steppenwolf, played by Ciaran Hinds, has appeared briefly in footage released by the studio, the best looks at the New Gods' greatest military mind have all come in the form of toys.

This time, the image (which you can see below) comes from an artist who sculpted Steppenwolf's head for Marvel's DC Multiverse line. The line, which is sold at Wal-Mart, Target, and other mainstream retailers, generally presents screen-accurate but not supremely-detailed takes on the characters from movies, TV, and popular comic book storylines like The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Zero Year.

The sculpt, aside from providing a closer look at the villain fans have only seen briefly and in motion, doesn't reveal much: it appears as though he has black eyes and a grayish skin tone, but that could easily be that the sculpt was rendered in grayscale.

If he does have gray skin, it could actually cause a bit of confusion among casual fans; it is likely that Darkseid, Steppenwolf's nephew, will be the central villain in the next Justice League movie, and while it would make sense for the family members to share an aesthetic, the horns/bony protrusions on Steppenwolf's chin evoke Doomsday, who appeared in 2015's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Having three consecutive "big bads" who share the same, unusual gray skin color would likely link all three of them -- both of the New Gods and Doomsday -- in the minds of many viewers.

The first two photos of action figures seen on retailer websites have indicated a Steppenwolf with caucasian skin and red eyes.

Justice League currently has a 4.20 out of 5 ComicBook.com User Anticipation rating making it the third most anticipated upcoming comic book movie among ComicBook.com readers. Let us know how excited you are for Justice League by giving the movie your own personal ComicBook.com User Anticipation Rating below. Justice League opens in theaters no November 17, 2017.

Justice League Full Movie Promo Online

Justice League Movie Promo Image Gives Up-Close Look At Superman. Justice League Full Movie is still a few months out, but Warner Bros. is ramping up the film’s promos. San Diego Comic Con came around in July with a brand-new trailer, and several promo images for the blockbuster have debuted since. However, none of the releases has made fans as hyped as a new Superman spot.

A new promo of Superman began floating around social media on sites like Reddit. The picture, which can be seen below, shows an up-close photo of Henry Cavill’s Superman. The character is suited up in his bright blue-and-red suit that comes complete with ribbing over the torso. Superman is seen staring off into the distance as he pulls back for a punch, and his slicked-back hair looks noticeably fuller than it did back in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The new picture doesn’t reveal any major details about Superman’s return in Justice League, but it is enough to get fans hype. The hero has been persistently absent from the film’s trailers and TV spots, so fans are taking what they get of the Kryptonian.

Fans know Cavill is involved with Justice League, but the actor’s lack of promotions is getting some comic lovers antsy. The star failed to make an appearance at SDCC, but Cavill did comment on his character’s absence in Justice League. Over on Instagram, the actor shared the film’s latest trailer with the caption, “All in! Well, almost,” in reference to its lack of Superman.

The hero may have been absent at the annual convention, but Cavill’s co-stars did talk about Superman during Warner Bros.’s panel. Cast members like Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa took to the stage at Hall H to answer fan questions, and the Wonder Woman star had this to say:

"We can't say much, but if you're a big fan of Superman you're going to love Justice League."

Later, Momoa appeared to sabotage Gadot’s efforts when he told a young fan Superman was dead, but the actor did not stop there. Video footage caught Momoa talking with the boy a bit later as he reassured the kid his favorite superhero was just fine.

“Don’t worry, he’s still alive, okay? Don’t worry,” Momoa explained, and the whole DC fandom let out a sigh of relief.

For now, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see any footage of Superman in action. Warner Bros. may very well try to keep the hero’s comeback a secret until Justice League debuts, so promotional images like this may be all the proof audiences get until November. So, if you are feeling sentimental, you might want to save this stunning character promo to your desktop.

Justice League 2017 (AsiaPop-Comicon) Full Movie

'Justice League' star Ray Fisher headlines AsiaPop Comicon 2017 Full Movie. "Justice League" star Ray Fisher has been confirmed as the headliner of this year's AsiaPop Comicon. 

The pop culture festival made the announcement on Saturday, which had fans of the much-anticipated Warner Bros. blockbuster gushing with delight.

In the movie, Fisher plays Victor Stone a.k.a. Cyborg, the half-man, half-machine DC Comics character who will be teaming up with Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Aquaman to save the world.

The movie, the first live-action feature based on the iconic superhero team, is scheduled for a November release in the Philippines.

News  of Fisher's upcoming appearance set the hearts of "Justice League" fans racing, as well as of those who have been keeping an eye on the guest lineup of AsiaPop Comicon.

Organizers have been worryingly mum about the lineup, considering that previous iterations have announced guests as early as two months prior to the start of the event.

This year's AsiaPop Comicon will run from August 25 to 27 at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

Fisher is the first Hollywood celebrity to be confirmed as a guest, and will serve as one of the main draws of the festival alongside exciting showcases from Marvel Studios and Netflix.

Others guests include international comic artists Alan Quah and Stanley Lau, otherwise known as Artgerm, toy designers Jason Freeny and Quiccs, and Simone Legno of tokidoki fame.

Shoji Kawamori, one of the original creators of the iconic mecha anime "Macross," will also be making an appearance.

For the complete lineup of guests, visit the official website of AsiaPop Comicon.

Tickets are available at SM Tickets.

Why organizers chose PH to host AsiaPOP Comicon

MANILA – A lot of Filipinos are so much into pop culture that it was not difficult at all for the organizers to choose the Philippines to host AsiaPOP Comicon (APCC) for two years in a row.

In an interview at the sidelines of the APCC press conference on Wednesday, Abdulla Mahmood, marketing and business development head of the Al Ahli Holding Group, said they actually didn’t have to sell the concept among Filipino fans because “they already knew” what it is about.

“All we needed to do is give them a platform where they all could come together and celebrate this. That’s exactly what we did last year and we got an overwhelming response,” he said.
Compared to the normal conventions in other countries, Mahmood said the APCC will be a lot bigger and more exciting because they have managed to tap into the different strata of society.

“What we wanted to do is to expand our horizon. It used to be traditionally gaming, movies, toys, collectibles and cosplays. But this year, we have added elements of beauty, fashion, lifestyle and sports. With this, we have actually covered all the pop culture elements,” he said. “We have something for the kids, teenagers, geeks, beautiful woman, the family crowd. It turns out to be a complete carnival event.”

For this year, the convention will feature interesting personalities during the three-day event to be held at the SMX Convention Center from Friday to Sunday.

Among the Hollywood headliners who will grace the pop culture convention are Nicholas Hoult from “X-Men,” Claire Holt from “The Originals,” Joe Dempsie from “Game of Thrones” and Millie Bobby Brown from “Stranger Things.”

The event will also feature comic artists including Mike Zeck, Ken Lashley, Billy Tan, Jason Palmer and Whilce Portacio.

Furthermore, the APCC will see a cosplay competition -- dubbed The CAGE -- which will feature cosplayers like Alodia Gosiengfiao, Myrtle Sarrosa, Riddle, Ani Mia, Lindze Merritt and Yugana Senshi Uon.

Another highlight would be the Hall M which will treat fans with exclusive content from Marvel’s movie, television and web series.

“We have managed to tie up with big studios like Marvel Studios and we are showcasing the Hall M concept where there will be exclusive showcase of Marvel movies, gaming, TVs and never before seen footages which will really excite the geeks and the fans,” Mahmood said.

Tickets for APCC, which will be held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City on August 26 to 28, are already available in all SM Ticket outlets.

Justice League Movie Free (2017) Online

Trailer: 'Justice League' Is Being Sold As A 'Super Friends' Movie. We got a new Justice League Movie trailer this morning. It’s a 2.5-minute version of the SDCC sizzle reel, one that is now of a length that will allow it to play in theaters. They did the same thing with Batman v Superman after the 2015 SDCC, so this is par for the course. The preview is indeed a cut-down variation on the longer trailer, with snippets of new footage and new lines. It’s no secret that the marketing campaign for Justice League has been a year-long attempt to distance itself from the grimdark Batman v Superman. For better or worse, we’ve got a Justice League movie that is being sold as a Super Friends flick.

That’s not necessarily a criticism, as A) it seems to be working, B) the actual footage looks fun. But what we’ve seen at least since last year’s SDCC sizzle reel, which was somewhat hastily cut together as a reassurance to those burned by Dawn of Justice, is a marketing campaign that emphasizes teamwork, optimism, gee-whiz adventure and thunderous visuals that are nonetheless not terribly frightening or violent. The posters have been ceaselessly bright and colorful, with upbeat taglines (“You can’t save the world alone.”) and shots of the team (give or take Superman) standing in the sunlight as if to represent the dawning of a new era of hopeful, optimistic and aspirational superhero movies.

Oh sure, there are any number of moments in a scorched setting with flying creatures doing their thing, but the emphasis is on our heroes kicking alien butt and winning the day as a team. The one grim beat in the trailers, with armed robbers killing security guards and taking young school girls hostage, is paid off with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman (DC Films’ new MVP) smashing her way to the rescue. While that scene was seemingly shot well before Patty Jenkins’ movie arrived this summer (portions of it were among the first bits of revealed footage), its placement in the newest trailer is a tip of the hat to the new status quo.

The footage we saw last week differs slightly from what we saw last year (and this past March) in subtler ways too. Ben Affleck and Jeremy Irons look much healthier and very clean-shaven compared to Dawn of Justice, and there is a brightness to the footage compared to the relative grit of Batman v Superman. That’s not a criticism of either film’s visual aesthetic, as it’s no secret that I think Larry Fong deserved an Oscar nomination for last year’s superhero smackdown sequel (the picture looked spellbinding on an IMAX screen). I do hope that Justice League keeps at least some of the apocalyptic Sturm und Drang (and relative weirdness) of its relative predecessor.

The marketing emphasis will likely remain focused on team-building moments, showy Wonder Woman bits (that projectile dodge is very James Bond) and Aquaman moments (he gets the “Legolas kills an elephant” beat) and a certain family-friendly lightness that will be closer in tone (if not content) to Batman Forever than Batman Returns. But there is no law saying that the Justice League movie must be an incredibly consequential superhero epic full of grand thematics and deep meaning. It’s not like 15 years of “deep” blockbusters made much of a difference in the real world. Maybe whatever Zack Snyder, Joss Whedon and Geoff Johns have concocted is closer in spirit to Justice League: Action than Injustice: Gods Among Us.

And that’s okay. If it’s a good/fun big-screen adventure, with the visuals of a Zack Snyder movie and the character interplay of a Joss Whedon ensemble actioner, then it will do fine among those who like the DC Films offerings, who merely liked Wonder Woman and who just want to watch Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and Superman save the world for invading aliens from Apokalypse. And if Justice League really is meant to be a transitional film from the gloom of Dawn of Justice to the swashbuckling adventure of Wonder Woman (and presumably Aquaman), then maybe it will be a relatively thin “Batman gets the gang together and saves the world” movie.

Heck, you can make the case that The Avengers was thematically thinner than some of what preceded (Iron Man) and followed (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), so maybe Justice League is more of the party movie. But I am amused that the reception to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has caused the marketing for Justice League to pull back on the “most grandiose and towering superhero epic of our time” sell in favor of a gee-whiz “Hey, this totally fun gang of superheroes can get along and save the world!” cheerfulness. From the optimistic posters to the swashbuckling trailers, Justice League is selling itself as a $200 million+ adaptation of Challenge of the Super Friends.

Or maybe that should be Wonder Woman and the Challenge of the Super Friends.
