They Can Be Heroes
Of course, Aquaman and the rest come around and the League is formed. As the fight heats up with Steppenwolf and his Parademons, we see the various heroes getting pummeled as they battle alone against their extraterrestrial opponents.
“Divided we are not enough,” Bruce intones in what sounds like fragments of different motivational speeches. “The world needs Superman. I made him a promise. Which is why I brought you together.”
There are a lot of different action shots crammed into this segment of the trailer. There’s a bit of classic Snyder slow-mo action as the Batmobile blasts its way through a barren street, Aquaman’s solo brawl with Steppenwolf, as seen in the last trailer and Cyborg struggling to withhold some glowing Apokoliptian technology. The most notable has to be Wonder Woman’s spar with the evil General. He’s only on screen for a second, but it gives us our first proper look at him in action.
But what really makes it come to life is the song choice. Each of the Justice League trailers has featured some awesome musical backing. The first one utilized The White Stripes’ “Icky Thump,” while the second employed Gary Clark Jr.’s cover of The Beatles’ “Come Together.” This one, though, features the most fitting song choice yet – a cover of David Bowie’s iconic “Heroes.” It’s a grand, emotional song and it really works playing over footage of the Justice League in battle.
