6 Major Things Justice League Changed From The Comics

5) The Justice League vs. Superman

While not all the changes that were made worked out for the best, some of them led to truly great moments in the film, such as the scene after the team brings Superman back from the dead.

After the Leaguers successfully use the Mother Box to resurrect the Man of Steel, the confused Kryptonian ends up attacking Bats and the gang – and thoroughly wipes the floor with them. In Justice League: Origin, there are a few panels where Supes battles Green Lantern and Batman, but it’s under an extremely different set of circumstances and outcome.

In the comic book version of the story, the two aforementioned heroes believe Superman has some intel regarding the Mother Boxes and seek him out. Unfortunately for them, they encounter the Man of Steel during a fight with a Parademon, and due to his arrogance, Green Lantern confronts Superman aggressively. This interaction leads to Supes attacking Batman, Lantern and later The Flash. However, he’s holding back throughout the fight and stops after Batman talks some sense into him.

Unlike the miscommunication in the source material, Justice League unleashes an angry Superman on the team, which could have ended very badly for any one of them. While it’s not a huge change from the comics, it’s still a big example of how the movie had to make alterations due to the already established DCEU continuity.
