PREMIER LEAGUE

Batman has new superpals in Justice League

WORDS BY  CHRIS HEWITT

SO HERE THEY are. After years stuck in development hell, including a George Miller version that got as far as building sets and casting(Armie Hammer as Batman! Common as Green Lantern! D.J. Cotrona as Superman!), the Justice League- DC Comics' ultimate band of costumed crusaders- have finally arrived. Well, almost. In our exclusive shot from Zack Snyder's follow-up to  Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice , one member is missing-Jason Momoa's Aquaman, the king of the seas. But Ben Affleck's Batman, Ezra Miller's super-speedster the Flash, Ray Fisher's  [...]  Cyborg and Gal Gadot's Wonder[Woman]....foursome by any sta[...] ations that could.... snyder's sequel. These...cyborg, Flash-really are just...to explore...says the director. " They're just so fresh, they're on the edge of their powers at different times in this story and that's really fun"

On other member of the Justice League is missing from this pic: Henry Cavill's superman, who carked it at the end of  Dawn Of Justice . But death is like a loss of form - merely temporary.  "Superman does play a big part in this movie," teases Snyder. "His presence and lack of presence, are big story points..."  you can't keep a good Man Of Steel down.
