As announced, Warner Bros. has released the first news about Justice League. And we should start by saying that this won't be a two-parter, as previously believed. According to Empire, as revealed by Deborah Snyder, this was the plan all along. Which isn't the case, since it was pretty clear that Part One and Part Two were supposed to be one big Justice League movie. What happened? It’s pretty obvious: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice happened.
The first logo and synopsis for Justice League have also been released. The logo, as far as we are concerned, is pretty much what anyone would expect at this point from the DCEU. Check it out below!
The synopsis doesn't reveal anything other than what we already know. Thus, Batman and Wonder Woman must unite the known metahumans in order to prevent the invasion of Earth.
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 (via CBM).
The first details about Justice League have also been released. The movie will take place a couple of months after the events of Batman v Superman. Steppenwolf, who’s been confirmed as the main baddie, will arrive on Earth via the three Mother Boxes seen in the deleted scene from Batman v Superman. One is in Atlantis, one in Themyscira, and the third is somewhere on Earth.
Willem Dafoe will portray Vulko, a mentor of Aquaman. Batman will design quite a few new gadgets, including a Nightcrawler (a new Bat mobile), a Flying Fox (a plane for the entire team), and so on. Cyborg's costume will be entirely CGI, and Flash will wear an upgraded suit built by Batman. Mera is a warrior and sorceress, with her costume being basically a chainmail that blends with her skin.
What do you think about all this? We're still surprised by the announcement that the movie won't be a two-parter, as previously announced. And this means that things are much worse with the DCEU than we previously believed.
Expect more Justice League related news in the following days.
Ben Affleck has already confirmed that Justice League will be at the San Diego Comic Con. So more will definitely come.
