Warner Bros. surprised fans at Comic-Con on Saturday with a first look at Justice League, the DC Comics superhero team-up scheduled for release November 17, 2017.

The first trailer for the Justice League was premiered at Comic-Con, but has not been made available online as of yet. Affleck’s Batman is a bit of a square, allowing Momoa’s swarthy and imposing Aquaman and Miller’s scrawny pile of wit to bounce off of Affleck’s self-seriousness. There are some New Gods nods and a quick look at a Mother Box, but the majority of the teaser is on the titular Justice League heroes.
The best line? “So I hear you can talk to fish”.
DC Films also revealed a poster-type image of the full Justice League team, which provides a clear view at The Flash’s full costume, as well as a good look at Cyborg. I like what we see of Bruce and Diana’s relationship from the discussion of Aquaman. The trailer depicts much of the reshuffled origin story of the character, transplanting her Second World War origins to the First World War decades earlier. Ben Affleck, who plays Bruce Wayne, hyped the film with his fellow cast mates, including Gadot and Superman actor Henry Cavill.

Few believe in DC and WB’s plan to match Marvel and its “Avengers” franchise note for note, but “Justice League” will do its darndest to compete late next year. Later there’s a scene with Batman and Wonder Woman in the Batcave going over a roster of potential recruits, with Batman saying, Aquaman is “more or less in”. Of course, we can expect the haters to continue trolling the universe until these films start hitting theaters.
