It’s here. It’s been teased for weeks in a heavy social media campaign, the trailer for the anticipated ‘Justice League’ hit the web today. The DC superhero team-up brings Batman (Ben Affleck) together with a team of superheros against an undisclosed force. Last year at ComiCon, there was a delightful teaser that showed off Batfleck assembling the team and now we get see them in some of their smash,bang, and pow glory. The humor is spiced in there and it feels like we are going to get something special. So will it meet the ever-growing epic expectations for a comic book movie on this scale?

The DC Cinematic Universe in eyes of some, needs a hit with some delays being applied to some planned movies in that connected world and rumors that Affleck is possibly disinterested in being the Bat on the big screen. There was a lot of fans disappointed by ‘Batman vs Superman’ despite it bringing in a whole lotta money. This trailer should restore your faith in DC as it looks really fun and just reminds you of a balance of an apparent good story with delightful thrills of seeing a superhero squad together like we got in ‘the Avengers’. Yes, people are going to make those comparisons long after this action film hits theaters in November.
Also this trailer does not show Superman with the team, but if you read the comics or watch the cartoons, the last son of Krypton is supposed to be there. So maybe he’ll return from the sad events of ‘Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice’, not maybe just expect it, right?
