Flashback sequences

We don’t know how long the first Justice League film will be, but we do know that it will be big in scope! The movie will showcase the history of Earth’s fight against Darkseid’s Parademons, and based on what we saw in the trailer, it will be a fight akin to the LOTR battles. So it will be epic.

And we know that Men will ally themselves with the Amazons and the Atlanteans to defeat Darkseid’s armies, and they’ll prevail. But we wonder whether they’ll have some help from the outside, as well.

In the latest Justice League trailer, the film’s villain mentions that the Green Lanterns will no longer come to Earth’s aid. Might this tease the appearance of the Corps in flashback sequences, or might it tease an even bigger cosmic war that our superheroes aren’t aware of?

These flashback fights might last for just a couple of minutes, but they’ll certainly provide moviegoers with some much needed backstory.
