Justice League

Mostly action , we don't really learn anything we didn't already know but it really gets you going and gives you a look at the characters.

Stepenwolf definitely looks bad ass.

I'm mixed on it, but I liked it a little bit more than the previous trailer. I'm really liking Flash and Aquaman though, they're definitely gonna steal the show. Cyborg still leaves me "meh".

The trailer feels long. The part with all the amazons waiting for something (Steppenwolf?) to come out of that cube reminds me of The Avengers. I found some jokes funny. That conversation with Alfred saying something like "let's hope you're not too late" seems like it's taken from a scene at the beginning where he's talking with one of the already shown members, cut so it seems like a hint at Superman. Aquaman seems like he's having fun.

I expect the movie to be somewhere between average and above average (in a 1-10 scale that's not a Four-Point Scale, somewhere between 5.5 and 7.5, in a Four-Point Scale around 7.5 to 8).

Nice! I wonder who Alfred was talking to in the end? And why was his water vibrating like in Jurassic Park to show that the T-Rex is near? I like how The Flash said that everyone else's Stealth Hi/Bye was rude!

Could be Mera she has the power to control water.

So some guy(the Big Bad ?) thinks that Earth doesn't stand a chance without Superman protecting it, but didn't the humans, Amazons, and Alanteans already repel an Alien Invasion from ancient times? And now they have metahumans and advanced tech heroes also! Okay, Clark is the most Nigh-Invulnerable, but the Flash is faster/more agile, Cyborg can also fly, Wonder Woman is more skilled, and Aquaman has an entire ocean of resources. So, it still wouldn't be easy for the bad guys. It would be easier for the good guys to win if they could have Superman fly into the bad guys at mach 3, but they could still pull it off. It would be at a high cost, but they could still win, except they might die in the process.

Why am I suddenly afraid of the Amazons getting killed off in this?

Anyway great trailer

Before he says that there is no Kryptonian he mentions about there being no Lanterns to protect Earth. So that is hinting that all the Lanterns are off somewhere else protecting the universe.

Speaking of Lanterns,

Jason Momoa may know something we don't...

Who knows how many casualties the allied forces took the first time. At this point in time, Atlantis and Themyscira have isolated themselves from the Surface/Man's World for so long that they are nothing but myths to the general Human population. Adding in that there's apparently no Lantern of any kind, Steppenwolf and the forces of Apokalyps have a much easier time conquering the Earth. Even with Steppenwolf's forces attacking, Earth's various militaries are so divided that it would not be easy to coordinate any sufficient defense.

Why do I suspect that there will be a Big Damn Heroes moment involving Superman and/or Green Lantern? Besides the reference made to them being viable threats to the Alien Invasion plan.

Alfred could be talking to one of the Lanterns at the end there?

Anyway the only minor nitpicks that I have with this are that a couple of shots have pretty ropey CGI (hopefully they clean that up in the next few months), still not wild about Flash or Cyborg's looks, and I have concerns about it being overstuffed maybe.

But, I'm CAUTIOUSLY optimistic here, for now.

Holy CGI-orgy Batman.......

If there's one thing though... I definitely have to stop building up my version of the movie in my head or I'll end up with that nasty vaguely disappointed feeling.

Now I want to see your version. You can always turn that version into a fanfic, unless you don't like writing fan stories, in which case...

Go into it expecting nothing, you can't possibly be disappointed....right?

My version would probably double the budget , and end up being enjoyable only to those who share a narrow band of interests.

Maybe I'll talk about it tomorrow. It's 3 A.M over here.

Steppenwolfe: No lanterns.

Audience member who doesn't have a clue of basic DC lore: Why is this guy talking about lanterns?

I see Synder is doing the You Should Know This Already again. Like with Superman unable to see the bomb in a wheelchair made of lead. Or maybe WB is assuming people saw the Green Lantern movie

I mean, even if it's Foreshadowing, a Space Corp should be something.... more.... or something. lol

More like

Audience member: "Lanterns, oh like Green Lantern. OK I get it now."

to be fair that is a perfect thing to so, otherwise you would have things like Marvel doing origing story AGAIN!.

And the lead element wasnt even said as while so is kinda moot

You have to give your audience SOME credit, and it's not like GL or the JL is some super obscure thing that only hardcore fans know about.

I don't think that it'd be that hard, in the context of a JL film, for most audience members to understand that reference.

Not like there is a green guy with a lantern on his chest in the intro.

Well, hey, it's pretty. And the characters look and sound about right, so I'm prepared to like these characters depending on what else we get of them. Lots of fanservice in the form of references to the comics and lore, but I actually want to *see* exploding windup penguins at some point. Aquaman and Cyborg actually look pretty cool but don't seem like they got as much screentime as the Flash. This trailer was packed in pretty tight as it was, though.

Lots of Alfred, apparently, so that's cool.

So that was a Creation of Adam/Sistine Chapel ceiling reference around 3:13, yeah?
