Justice League **Spoilers from post 980 onward**

Goddamn I love that movie.

Bacchus

There's bunch of "Unite the League" snippets (one for each character) on YouTube

The Batman one confirms

parademons. I guess at least his gun toting Batmobile is being used against them.

Not sure about that tbh. My first thought on seeing that was

Firefly

... You're probably right though, in fairness.

Ben Gadot

Based on bvs they look pretty generic so the confusion is fair enough but aye, clearly given the story it's

parademons

Nice.

As a funny aside there's no better illustration of the money available between tv and film (even though tv is increasingly becoming the better medium) when you compare the effects here for The Flash and it's cw counterpart.

IncognitoMan

I'm absolutely loving that trailer... Hopefully the film delivers

dublinman1990

Trailer was great. I cannot wait until November now.

EDIT

We are allowed to download a HD copy of the trailer on Vimeo.

Mr Crispy

It's hard to get too enthused, but it wasn't the worst superhero trailer I have ever seen (heh, if ever there was a case of damning with faint praise). Still, I did like how they're not just relying on slow-mo sequences to depict the Flash's speed.

correction

Trailer looks awful to me but so did the first trailer for Batman vs Superman and everyone loved that trailer, although I imagine the movie will go down much the same.

McDermotX

It looks incredibly uninspiring stuff.......so has everything that's been teased about this up to now, and the trailer only reinforces the level of meh.

Only question in my mind is can it top the quality of the Oscar-winning Suicide Squad ?

brianregan09

Cyborg looks ****e everything else looks good and seems like its gonna be good but jesus someone needs to do an awful lot of work on Cyborg

Unearthly

Looks poor. Using a song in trailer doesnt mask how lifeless and dour the world looks.

GhostyMcGhost

Wish they'd just cut the crap

We all know superman is not dead and will be part of the league so just put him in the trailer already FFS and stop doing tight crops on scenes etc to hide the fact he's there

It's really really offputting

I feel completely the opposite. Sure we know he's there but you shouldn't see that until you are sat in the cinema. Hold something back for the film.

Although having said that references to superman's picture were apparently found in the source code for the website used for promotion. So he'll probably be the big reveal in the final trailer before the films release.

Skerries

so the big bad

isn't Darkseid but his uncle Steppenwolf played by Ciaran Hinds

micar

Is it OK to start a Gal Gadot appreciation thread???..... Cos I love her.

Skerries

is it pronounced ga-dot or ga-doh?

Cyborg looked really dodgy in one of those shots. The trailer looks ok but it's by the numbers stuff really. I always find it very hard to get enthused by the super hero's in a film unless a worthy opposition is shown, which it hardly was. Hopefully that is much fleshed out in the next one. Trailer is really....well......grey too.

Here we go

Looks like an avangers clone first film an alien invasion. but not lead by the main villain id bet next is a rouge A.I brainiac (ultron) followed by the last film split in two when darkside comes in. wonder if they will work a glove into it. On another note didnt see supes in it wonder if he will be brought back near the end of the film or sooner

Mr Crispy

What's the deal with no Green Lantern?

Brief_Lives

There's lots of jumping...


Also, whoever just wrote it, this will not be an avengers like movie, there is no Marvel like ability shown by WB this far in the story..

I hope it does well, as a comic book fan, it should,....
It should be a slam dunk to be honest..

dreamers75

Cyborg looks like the Scy Fy channel did his CGI.

Slydice

Yeah like.. it's alright CGI.. and it's cool that it looks cheap Syfy cos we know ya don't have the money but we know you're gonna try with the story and all...

But this ain't Syfy, and you've mucked up with the stories plenty already Warner Bros!

Nervous Wreck

Awful trailer.

Giggernaut

Watched trailor on TV and Cyborg looks crap in HD and Batman's costume, too Nite Owl and I'm not a fan of the spider-tank.

But if they can make the villain a real threat then it has a chance to do what Marvel has failed at,

However I feel the movie will go Assemble,Fight,Lose,Unite,Almost lose,SUPERMAN.

If they put him in it people would complain about giving away a plot point.

In other words, you'd be moaning either way.

veganrun

Wasn't blown away by the trailer. Just looks like a run of the mill generic superhero trailer. Lots of jumping and that's about it.

pixelburp

Ugly trailer. Ugly tone. Ugly compositions. Ugly - really ugly - color grading. Ugly action. Ugly character designs. Ugly use of music.

Same as BvS then. UGLY.

Really does *look* terrible, worse than BvS I think. Snyder is using a different DP from tv (Sherlock, GOT) and appears to have ditched the anamorphic lenses and gone all digital. The CGI environments are stagey and fake. And why is everything so murky? No wonder Affleck started drinking again.

No. This would hold up if they hadn't included Superman in early promo shots, one an artist's rendition of the league and another with Cavill. As well as that, Cavill has been on panels and been talking about filming and training for JL on his social media platforms. It would in no way give away a plot point for them to show Superman in the trailer. Their pretence now by WB that it's going to be a reveal in any way is bananas.

I'd say they're just saving it for the last trailer before release. Gets the last trailer more publicity ("First shot of Superman in new JL trailer" etc)

It's not his reveal they're avoiding, it's a plot point. It's likely his fate is a massive part of the story so any appearance from him in the trailer (either as aggressor towards the league or fighting alongside them) would give more away than they need to.

I mean look at how they spoiled Doomsday, that told us more about how the film was going to likely end than I cared to know.

ricero

Aquaman looks like hes going to be the breakout star of the justice league. Looks good but would of liked to of seen the villain of the film

IncognitoMan

It's coming out in November. There will be other trailers. You will see the villain and Superman in later trailers.

I'd be happy with just a quick shot (because there's no way we get to justice league without Superman in a trailer) so that there is some ambiguity going into the film.

q2xv9rjei4awgb

I've read the story line.

And yes, Superman is a vital plot point in the movie....

Doesn't look good anyways. Too quirky. Batman is dark and moody as ****. Doesn't work for that character. CGI looks cheap as hell

Too many weird "oh so funny" one liners in that trailer

FunLover18

Nice to see they seem to have another abandoned area of town in which to have the final showdown.

Probably still a recession in the DCU. It would be like if you had the fight in Dublin, have it somewhere along the LUAS line past sandyford around 2010.

Slydice

Some analysis has talked about the Wonder Woman scene in the trailer.

and indeed, when I slow it down I see what they mean (click the settings cog, change speed to 0.25)

They were so busy trying to get in a shot of butt cheek, they never got the kick to connect.


Maybe WB has given up on competing with Marvel on story and substance and is now going after the Michael Bay audience of flash and effects

brianregan09

It looks like a **** video game level pure dark and sewer like where there fighting

The Golden Miller

Feels like DC are rushing their universe along just to catch up with Marvel. The quicker they rush, the further they fall behind on many levels. Failing to promote any of their characters for decades (bar Batman and Superman) up until now has really come back to bite them

I'm not sure what you're actually saying, do you mean they tried to get a shot in like that but failed? If so, given how people felt about Robbie in SS, I don't see why they'd be subtle in taking such a shot.

I was thinking about this the other day and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the kind of analysis that dominates the aftermath of her own film amongst critics i.e. looking for things that aren't there to make it look like some kind of anti feminist monstrosity.

It's the internet, I'm sure somewhere there'll be a clutch of reviews to fit a preferred confirmation bias; but considering Wonder Woman is only the first of this age of DC/Marvel superhero films to star a woman, and the titular character is already pretty engrained in the public consciousness as a powerful, well-loved if controversial female hero, it's as likely to find the reviews broadly fawning.

Buuuut of course, doubtlessly overly enthusiastic reviews would themselves cause sections of the internet to mash their keyboards in Ghostbusters-inspired fury, so you can't please all of the people etc. Me? I just hope DC finally make a vaguely watchable superhero film, so my own personal bar isn't particularly high. Expecting or searching for some kind of social or professional critics' narrative seems like a fools errand.

PooArse

If its not too dark to see anything it looks like a f**king PS2 game!!! Cyborg looks terrible, the effects showing Flash's speed are actually comical and why is Aquaman acting like a teenager? Isn't he meant to be royalty?? Think this is BvS all over again....

Still fingers crossed that I'm wrong!
