8 Things We Learnt From The Justice League Trailer

1) But Batman Is The Same

It is standard practice in comic book cinema for superheroes to change up their outfits with each new movie appearance. Sometimes it makes narrative sense – like how Tony Stark continually upgrades his armour – or it could be for merchandising reasons and toy appeal – see George Clooney’s ever-changing wardrobe as Batman.

Justice League’s Dark Knight looks set to break the pattern, however, as his appearance in this trailer shows him in pretty much the same batsuit as he wore in BvS (though it might be slighter darker). Contrary to his lightening of personality as Bruce Wayne, the persona of Batman still looks to be as gruff as ever.

That makes a lot sense for DC, as Ben Affleck’s performance in BvS was one of the few universally well-received aspects about the film. Keeping the character steady in Justice LEague – though probably reducing his murderous tendencies – is definitely a good move.
