Justice League Teaser Premieres at Comic-Con

Warner Bros. has unveiled exclusive footage from their superhero all-star film Justice League, and much to the surprise of Comic-Con audiences Saturday. The footage highlights Bruce Wayne’s recruitment of what will be the Justice League team, including The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa). Ben Affleck, who plays Bruce Wayne/Batman, hyped the film with his fellow cast mates, including Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot and Superman actor Henry Cavill.

Ben Affleck, the latest actor to don Batman’s cape and cowl, said he felt “tremendous amount of pressure” both starring in and directing the next stand-alone Batman movie. “It’s terrifying and inspiring and really exciting because it’s one of most iconic, fascinating characters ever created in American drama,” he said.

To kick things off, Affleck was joined on stage by all of his fellow directors David Ayer (Suicide Squad), Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), James Wan (Aquaman), Rick Famuyiwa (The Flash) and Snyder. “DC is the foundation of what we all know about comic books and heroes. To have my voice be a part of that is really exciting,” Famuyiwa said.

Warner Bros. has 10 films pegged to the interconnected universe over the next few years including Suicide Squad, which comes out next month, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and the stand alone Batman film, which Affleck is directing and starring in. Snyder and the cast flew in from London to tease Justice League, which is currently in production and not set to hit theatres until November 2017.
