Director Zack Snyder sent shockwaves through the comic book geek universe on Saturday by dropping the first trailer for the Justice League movie on his Twitter account.

Kudos to Warner Bros for not keeping this exclusive.
The first thing that springs to mind is that the tone of the “Justice league” footage feels a lot lighter than the rather heftier “Batman V Superman”.
Soundtracked by The White Stripes’ “Icky Thump”, the almost three-minute trailer shows new looks of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, and Ray Fischer as Cyborg.
In the trailer, which came as a surprise to fans in attendance at Comic-Con, Ben Affleck’s “Batman” is seen meeting with each member of the “Justice League” in hopes of swaying them to join and form an unstoppable team. While Aquaman played by Jason Momoa looks menacing (frankly no one’s ever going to make fun of Khal Drogo), Ezra Miller is kind of trippy as the Flash. I’m also very happy to see Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman seemingly getting the screen time her character deserves and the fans demand. Even though it’s a year and a half away, WB managed to put together a special prequel skit preceding the Justice League movie scheduled for the fall of 2017.
Ray Fisher also returns as Victor Stone / Cyborg, while Ezra Miller reprises his Batman v Superman cameo role as Barry Miller / The Flash and showcases his skills to Batman. Aside from exciting developments with the Justice League film, it was confirmed that Ben Affleck will be directing the stand alone Batman film for the comic tentpole.
