The trailer has a lot of comic relief – something pretty different from the ultra serious Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice as well as Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, which was awesome, but definitely not amusing.

Kudos to Warner Bros for not keeping this exclusive.
Fans of The Avengers film franchise will immediately recognize parallels between the series during the trailer’s scene in which The Flash first meets Batman. Star Ben Affleck and director Zack Snyder were both at the panel, as was Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot.
Pictures released the official Justice League teaser trailer at the San Diego Comic-Con, and now we’ve compiled over 50 screenshots with all the coolest moments.
The full crew of superheroes consist of the Flash, Superman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Batman and Aquaman.
Though it will certainly boost anticipation for Justice League, all of this inevitably comes at the expense of its predecessor; with any illusion of dramatic tension in Batman v. Superman’s finale fast dissipating. Even Gadot’s Wonder Woman gets in a slight jab there, mocking Batman’s job as recruitment chair. Unsurprisingly, the trailer doesn’t include Superman as his fate will most likely be teased during later trailers or maybe not at all until Justice League rolls into theaters.
HollywoodLifers, are YOU excited for Justice League?

Despite the poor critical reaction to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Justice League footage has been received extremely well since its online release. It’s also rumored that Henry Cavil will return to play the Man of Steel “Clark Kent/ Superman” though he’s not seen in the trailer and J.K. Simmons will join the fray as “Commissioner Gordon”. And with the almost-comical interaction between Ben Affleck’s Batman and Ezra Miller’s Flash, it looks as though “Justice League” will add a much-needed lighter touch to DC’s superhero universe.
