How fitting is it that Warner Bros. and DC plan to unveil the new (and perhaps final?) trailer for Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon’s Justice League at San Diego Comic-Con next month?
Last year, the studio showcased a special reel of footage to those in attendance at Hall H and now, almost a full year later and with Snyder’s ensemble movie fast approaching the finish line – with the help of Joss Whedon (Batgirl), of course – Warner Bros. is reportedly ready to roll out the second full-length Justice League trailer.
What exactly we’ll get to see in it is still unknown, and will probably remain that way until next month, but if a recent Reddit leak is anything to go by, it looks like the studio is finally ready to start teasing the Man of Steel’s resurrection. It’s about time, too, as he’s been kept hidden from nearly all of the marketing thus far.
Today’s report arrives from a source who’s had some accuracy in the past when it comes to obtaining early trailer descriptions, but we’d still advise taking this all with a grain of salt. For what it’s worth, though, it does sound plausible – at least a lot of it does – and if true, then this is going to be one hell of a preview. One that will undoubtedly get people on board with Justice League ahead of its November release.
So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the trailer description!
The preview starts with the same footage of Batman recruiting flash, then logos(including the new DC logo). we cut to a montage of the team. Bruce talking to Diana at some kind of museum. Cyborg looking depressed as he walks through the hall of a high school(apparently we see him use some kind of holographic projection to blend in) with voice over from Victor saying ”I never asked for this. I didn’t want to be some thing.”
We then see aquaman in atlantis(apparently resembles castle ruins), talking with Vulko(william dafoe) about his destiny. We see a motherbox being guarded by atlantian soldiers when out of nowhere there’s an attack. Steppenwolf takes the motherbox, aquaman swims after him, steppenwolf throws his axe at aquaman & in slow motion arthur dodges it.
we cut to Batman, WW, Flash & Cyborg being overwhelmed by parademons in some kind of tunnel, the tunnel floods and Aquaman shows up to save the team. We get the ”dressed like a bat, I dig it” then Aquaman asks Batman for help. We cut to the team entering the batcave as Flash geeks out. voice over from Batman about the parademons(referred to them as creatures) kidnapping scientists. WW asks what’s the plan as Flash asks Alfred for some service, Alfred walks off.
Montage of action(slow mo shot of WW falling while trying to reach her sword as flash tips it with his finger so she can grab it, cyborg punches aquaman as aquaman throws him against the wall as the shot transitions into Aquaman throwing Bruce against the wall, aquaman ww & flash guarding what appears to be the scout ship, Batman gliding into a parademon, Steppenwolf stepping on WW’s chest, Cyborg standing on a football field).
Flash then makes a joke about Cyborg looking like the tin man. After the JL title card we get the money shot. Batman is driving towards some kind of ship when Superman in the black suit,beard & mullet lands right in front of it, red eyes and an evil smirk(fire in the background, raining ash, great visual shot) while Batman has a look of ”oh shit” as the trailer ends.
Sounds pretty exciting, right? Again, there’s nothing to say that this is true, but from what we understand, the person who provided the scoop has also accurately delivered trailer descriptions for big films like Rogue One, Logan and Spider-Man: Homecoming in the past. So, take that as you will.
Either way, it shouldn’t be too much longer before we find out for sure what Warner Bros. has in store for us, as Comic-Con kicks off on July 20th, and we fully expect the studio to roll out the next Justice League trailer at that time.
