we’ll find out in due time as justice league is slated for release on november 17 , 2017 .

eisenberg noted that with production underway on justice league , he ' s just waiting on the call .

so yes , the decision to have batman lead the justice league was one of the deciding factors in killing off superman , and snyder’s revelation also tells us that ben affleck ’s batman will likely be leading the justice league ensemble when that film hits theaters next year .

the film ' s producers , deborah snyder and charles roven , informed the press of that during a visit to the leavesden set of justice league this past friday .

more news will be coming soon about superman vs . batman , justice league , and the future of the dcu on film , dear reader - - stay tuned !

warner bros . has a few months left until justice league debuts , and the studio has just started testing the film . reports surfaced today that some very lucky fans got to attend a special screening of joss whedon ’s justice league cut . and , if batman news heard right , then the film is said to be quite epic .

wonder woman is scheduled to arrive in theaters june 23 , 2017 . justice league part one will open in theaters on november 12th , 2017 , followed by justice league part two on june 14th , 2019 .

when warner bros . initially announced its slate of shared universe dc superhero movies in fall 2014 , “justice league” was listed as a two - part film with release dates in 2017 and 2019 . it’s been assumed since then that the first “justice league” film — which now has a november 17 , 2017 release date — would kick - off a two - part story directed by zack snyder . during a set visit to “justice league’s” london set , however , press outlets got an update about the film’s status .

like disney’s “the avengers , ” which brings together some of marvel’s most popular heroes , “justice league” culls the biggest superheroes from the dc universe . superman , batman and wonder woman are staples of the justice league .

the first three posters released by the studio feature batman , aquaman , and the justice league movie logo .

, and in a sense they do represent the justice league ' s predecessors in more ways than one .

we suspect he could . too bad he didn ' t get his chance with justice league : mortal .

we already know that justice league will feature some big names in front of the camera , but the film added another well - known figure behind the camera in june 2017 .

miller said he had " utter creative control " over justice league and plans to appeal against the decision . " it feels to me like i ' m not fighting for this film . i ' m fighting for the australian film industry . "

rather than start off slow and only work on one justice league movie at a time , warner bros . opted to double down and announce both justice league : part one and justice league : part two at the same time . recently , however , zack snyder confirmed to us ( on a set visit that we attended on the london shoot of justice league ) that the first justice league movie will be a standalone adventure and is not part one of a two - part story . that being said , justice league is set to open on november 17 . the sequel is still in development , but it was removed from its 2019 release date and remains unscheduled .

an approach which certainly fits in with rumours that the film ' s reshoots have seen wonder woman landed with an expanded role , after her solo film became the highest - grossing dceu film in the us .

justice league hits theaters november 2017 , while its announced sequel has a release date of june 14 , 2019 .

update : it is also possible that this is not for justice league . fans have pointed us to the following screenshot , in which someone reached out to the actress to ask her if she was indeed referring to justice league :

with just over a week until justice league hits theaters , warner bros . released a set of clips from the film that offer a sneak peek at the impending team - up project .

• the film will get a big presentation at comic - con . • aquaman , ocean master and black manta will be revealed in full costume . • concept art of the film will be shown . • as of now , no actual film footage will be shown . they might save it as an exclusive with justice league .

so while nolan was only an executive producer on batman v superman , clearly he weighed in on one of the film’s most important story points . but what was snyder’s reasoning for killing off superman in the first place ? it was two - fold , with one part having to do with his desire to have batman lead the justice league in the next film , justice league :

" the idea is to say come back , start off on justice league then move onto happy feet 2 . "

in this first installment of the justice league , commissioner gordon is not a particularly sizable part . we just kind of introduce him and see a little bit of his interactions with batman - - and with most of the justice league .

while it remains to be seen whether the footage was a sample of the film’s humor or the entirety of it , justice league already appears to have a noticeably different tone than its predecessors .

it’s not yet clear if a second superman film will beat justice league into cinemas , but it is clear that goyer is thinking about both at once . his comments on the next superman film will follow later , as well as a lot more on man of steel .

justice league director zack snyder is seemingly confirming the long simmering rumors that he ' s been largely uninvolved with the film since departing the production earlier this year in the wake of a family tragedy .

i know i ' m rooting for him out here . n tell him to have sum fun on that justice league set

of course , warner bros . only mentioned henry cavill , ben affleck , and amy adams as cast members for justice league in their official announcement , so momoa’s comments are the first official confirmation that aquaman will be a part of justice league .

i honestly believe a justice league movie that shares the man of steel universe is pretty much a certainty at this point .

the first “justice league” opens on november 17 , 2017 ; the sequel is slated to open on june 14 , 2019 .

“justice league” will be the fifth installment of the dc extended universe , following “man of steel , ” “batman v superman : dawn of justice , ” “suicide squad” and “wonder woman . ”

for now , check out a picture of the brand new batmobile below followed by the official justice league logo in two different formats . also starring j . k . simmons and amber heard , justice league opens in theaters on november 17 , 2017 .

it’s been a long wait for dc comics fans , but the live - action justice league film finally hit theaters november 17 , 2017 . to get fans prepped for the film’s premiere , seven clips from the movie were released by the studio a week before it arrived in theaters .

suicide squad will be the first dc film to follow batman v superman , with a plan for release in 2016 . then things get really big . in 2017 we’ll see wonder woman and justice league , with 2018 bringing the flash ( with ezra miller starring ) and aquaman . in 2019 wb plans shazam and justice league 2 .

justice league part one is set for release on november 17 , 2017 , with part two following on june 14 , 2019 .

chris terrio wrote the screenplay for justice league , which will be released in two parts by warner bros . justice league : part one will hit theaters on nov . 17 , 2017 , while part two is slated for release on june 14 , 2019 .

right now , though , we come to goyer’s comments on how man of steel might set up the proposed justice league movie .

director , george miller , was once set to helm a justice league movie nearly a decade ago . the project was known as

warner bros . pictures partnered with at & t to release a “first look” trailer that features some of the film’s lead actors talking a bit about their characters and about the experiences they had filming justice league .

theme crafted by george e . frog . film music reporter wordpress theme by :

batman v superman : dawn of justice director zack snyder is set to helm the two - part justice league films , while furious 7’ s james wan will be directing the aquaman standalone feature .

this weekend , young hollywood stepped into the superhero hall of justice to see who will get the parts in the big - budgeted warner bros . tentpole movie " justice league of america . "

although we already knew the man of steel’s sacrifice inspires the dark knight to enlist earth’s metahumans to confront a new threat , the events of justice league are so closely linked to 2016’s batman v superman : dawn of justice that film is being characterized as “a direct sequel . ”

over the weekend , warner brothers invited members of the press to the london set of justice league . in doing so , the studio made some major reveals and offered some of the first information regarding the film .

if the superhero film underwent such changes , warner bros . has reason to test the film so early . there is a lot riding on justice league as the ensemble flick is being seen as a make - or - break moment for the dceu . the franchise houses several critical misses , but wonder woman reversed the trend this summer with its overwhelming success . hopefully , justice league will get to follow in the amazon’s tracks .

" at the heart of it is a love story , but with a lot of action . it is an exciting film and a different kind of film . "

snyder also addressed what this means for 2019’s “justice league” sequel , saying “i think we still have a release date . ” it just appears that the structure of the two “justice league” films has changed so that they will be two separate films — like “avengers” and “avengers : age of ultron” — as opposed to two halves of one film — like the film adaptations of the novels “harry potter and the deathly hallows” or “mockingjay . ”

that ' s a very simple , very clean title treatment , but also note the star in the graphic , which calls back to the justice league logo from the comics . here ' s the justice league ' s very first appearance ( with stars ! ) :

if justice league works , it would allow the studios and the snyders to use the original part two release date for a sequel .

the tactical suit used by batman in the film ' s climax was first seen being tested on by alfred in batman v superman dawn of justice .

justice league mortal , which is due to star megan gale and teresa palmer as part of a superhero team , has sparked heated debate in the film industry over its eligibility for the 40 per cent refundable tax offset .

instead of a two - film arc similar to the way marvel studios is handling its avengers : infinity war films , justice league is envisioned as a single story within warner bros . pictures’ dc comics “extended universe . ”

but writer ( and now dc film head ) geoff johns stepped in to shoot down all speculation . rather than following in the footsteps of batman v superman : dawn of justice , warners is simply going with ' justice league ' . it ' s so crazy it might just work .

justice league currently has a 4 . 19 out of 5 urltoken user anticipation rating making it the third most anticipated upcoming comic book movie among urltoken readers . let us know how excited you are for justice league by giving the movie your own personal urltoken user anticipation rating below .

movie multipack : ultimately jossed . it was previously reported that this would be two movies based on a single screenplay by terrio , scheduled for 2017 and 2019 . they were explicitly labeled as justice league : part one and justice league : part two rather than two movies with entirely different subtitles . but in june 2016 it was clarified that the 2017 movie will be a standalone movie simply titled justice league , while the 2019 sequel ( tentatively named justice league 2 ) will be standalone as well , not " the second half " of the first one .

the official plot synopsis for zack snyder ' s justice league has arrived . let ' s see what it has to say for itself :

expectations aside , jk simmons also had some choice words to speak about working on the set of a film like justice league , versus putting in time on the set of a much smaller film such as his other , more recent project , lorene scarfaria ' s the meddler . simmons described the differences as follows :

snyder left justice league earlier this year following the death of his daughter , with warner bros . bringing in avengers director joss whedon to see the film through to release , even writing new scenes for the film to the extent that he ' s credited as co - writer in new material released by warner bros .

justice league is set after the events of batman v superman : dawn of justice , even though the wonder woman solo movie arrived in theaters before justice league . wonder woman serves as an origin story for gal gadot’s superheroine character , and is set during world war i , decades before the events of any of the studio’s other superhero movies so far .

ahead of the release of some girl ( s ) , the latest film from writer neil labute , we had a chat with the film’s star adam brody and talked about a little bit of everything , including working with neil labute , playing despicable characters , and i couldn’t let him get away without talking about him being this close to playing the flash in a proposed justice league film some years back .

the atoner : batman is distraught over his poor moral choices in dawn of justice , and is pushing forward with the justice league in order to fix that . this results in a friendlier and more idealistic batman .

additionally , ew confirms that the script for the upcoming justice league part one has been completed by screenwriter chris terrio , who re - wrote david goyer’s initial draft of “dawn of justice . ” perhaps this is where brainiac will rear his ugly head when the film hits theaters on november 10 , 2017 .

gear up for justice league with some fast facts about the movie and characters and learn more about the early career of aquaman , jason momoa .

the studio released a new trailer for justice league featuring a massive amount of fresh footage from the much - anticipated superhero team - up event .

“the idea that we could begin to boot up a justice league concept was a cool thing , ” says snyder , who also directed 2013’s man of steel and has become one of the key figures in shaping dc’s connected film universe .

there’s still nearly a year and a half before the scheduled release of the “justice league” film , but warner bros . has clear aims on getting some positive word out already . the studio held a set visit last week for the dc comics - based film , with press including cbr news getting an early look at the movie .

larry fong , who has shot most of zack snyder’s movies including batman v superman : dawn of justice , will not be returning for justice league : part one . instead , fabian wagner will be the cinematographer , according to his updated résumé on his agency’s website . interestingly , he has the project listed as “the justice league” . could that be the official title ?

correction , the version u & berg cooked up with joss & released to the world , is what we call josstice league . where is the real ' justice league ' movie , where is the snyder ' s cut ?

“justice league” star jason momoa is thanking the cast and crew as filming wraps the only way he knows how : with a picture of himself shirtless .

although justice league will provide the first featured roles for flash , aquaman , and cyborg , all three characters debuted in batman v superman , with flash making a second appearance in suicide squad a few months later . that doesn’t mean the cast of justice league will be all familiar faces , though .

dc diehards are already hyped when it comes to justice league , but that doesn’t mean the gang isn’t also a bit worried . the superhero blockbuster is slated to hit theaters in november , but there hasn ' t been any sighting of superman in its trailers so far . just , don’t get too worried yet ; after all , the justice league cast promises the film is for superman lovers .

the legal maxim , “justice delayed is justice denied” wasn’t meant to apply to superhero films , but the epic wait is finally over for dc fans .

it’s unknown how much of justice league will be set underwater or if the clip from snyder’s video will even be included in the theatrical cut of the film , but it does provide a nice indication of what aquaman’s undersea kingdom might look like .

but justice league will be jumping the gun , with only superman and wonder woman getting completely solo outings first . which means that the group film will probably have to take more time introducing its stars properly and forging them into a working unit .

in the months since , whedon has retreated slightly . he wasn’t a part of the promotion for justice league , and earned ire from zack snyder fans for “liking” a tweet poking fun at the badly - computer - generated villain in the film .

affleck’s going to star as batman in the zack snyder - directed justice league and henry cavill will reprise superman , while gal gadot will play wonder woman and game of thrones alum jason momoa is on the docket to play aquaman . might be the highest - priority film at warner bros for new film division managers greg silverman and sue kroll .

justice league is set to release on the 25th anniversary of the death of superman comic , when it was released november 17th , 1992 . as well as the 16th anniversary of the bruce timm and paul dini justice league animated series which premiered it ' s first episode back in november 17th , 2001 ,

within the dceu itself , aquaman , flash and cyborg all had early bird cameos in batman v superman dawn of justice as a deliberate lead - in to this film .

justice league : part one will start shooting in mid - april and is set to hit theaters on nov . 17 , 2017 , while part two is slated for release on june 14 , 2019 . warner bros . ' next dc film is batman v . superman : dawn of justice , which will bow march 25 .

it looks like one character from the first film might not be as exploded as we thought .

john francis daley and jonathan goldstein are set to jump universes to helm dc’s upcoming flashpoint film .

we now know for certain that the wonder woman solo film , which will star gal gadot and chris pine and be directed by patty jenkins ( monster ) , will film in london this fall . and justice league , which is written by batman v superman screenwriter chris terrio and will be directed by zack snyder , will start filming next spring .

in a hollywood upended by labor strife — writers just ended one walkout , while actors are rumbling about another — the studio has been trying to begin production on a film based on the long - running dc comics series “justice league of america . ”

if there was any question of whether affleck’s outrageously lethal take on batman would be toned down for justice league , this image offers a pretty clear answer .

following the release of justice league , the aquaman solo movie will premiere december 21 , 2018 , followed by wonder woman 2 on december 13 , 2019 .

what ' s remarkable about justice league : mortal is how utterly faithful to the source material it is . it ' s not just an unashamed representation of the dc superheroes that make up the team ' s roster , it ' s almost slavishly devoted to the justice league stories of the early 21st century .

zack snyder is stepping away from warner bros . tentpole “ justice league ” in order to deal with the death of his daughter , sources tell variety .

it appears that warner and dc have decided to cancel the two parter , after batman v superman’s failure , to see if one justice league movie works .

bruce wayne and diana establish a home base for the league within wayne manor .

effortlessly trounce the rest of the league to show just how powerful he is .

so while the last photograph will be snyder’s next project once he wraps on justice league and finishes the promotional run - up to its november 17 , 2017 release , we’re not sure when either the standalone batman movie will debut , nor when justice league : part two will follow suit . my money’s on the batman taking justice league : part two ‘s june 14 , 2019 slot , but time will tell . keep an eye out here for more news as it becomes available .

warner bros . pictures made the weekend of new york comic con a big one with the premiere of a new , full - length trailer for justice league .

asked whether we might see more of the amazons in future films , nielsen confirmed that she’d reprise her role in justice league — and be joined by wright .

there are some folks making the documentary about george miller ' s justice league movie ( apparently called miller ' s justice league : mortal ) and they gave fans our first taste of what they might have in store for everyone , via twitter . check out some concept art and costume designs from the movie . . .

snyder , who also oversaw man of steel and batman v superman : dawn of justice , stepped away from the production of justice league in may 2017 , as reported by the hollywood reporter . snyder’s decision followed his daughter’s suicide in march .

in batman v superman : dawn of justice , steppenwolf had a very alien appearance . the character was redesigned for justice league , making him resemble the new 52 comics version of steppenwolf more : a mostly human appearance with some warrior attire .

however , robinov was unequivocal when asked if the rumor is true that nolan will produce a justice league movie , and bring christian bale back with him : “no , no it’s not . ” ( nolan’s reps , who have previously declined to comment on that rumor , also confirmed robinov’s statement and told ew that he definitely wasn’t involved with justice league . nolan is currently busy prepping his sci - fi film interstellar . )

“batman vs superman : dawn of justice” arrives in theaters may 6 , 2016 .

batman v superman : dawn of justice served as a prelude of sorts , kicking off the process that will transform man of steel from a lone film into part of something bigger .

arc words : the words " hope " and " fear " are frequently mentioned throughout the film .

the detail emerges from the latest issue of total film ( via cosmic book news ) , which reveals justice league “begins with henry cavill’s superman in the ground having sacrificed himself to doomsday . ” that’s of course not a big surprise , given that the latest trailer depicted a world still in mourning , and the film’s marketing has mostly avoided showing the man of steel .

amy adams and gal gadot sat down with et on friday to promote batman v superman : dawn of justice , and they couldn’t help but gush over the news that heard has been cast as mera in the upcoming justice league and aquaman films .

if you’re the kind of person who saw batman’s arsenal on wheels in batman v superman : dawn of justice and thought , “there’s definitely room for more guns , ” you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what justice league has in store for the batmobile .

that’s similarly the case with junkie xl’s other recent work , from 300 : rise of an empire and the point break remake to black mass and divergent , though he wasn’t even half the reason that deadpool worked so shockingly well . besides justice league , he’s currently tapped to compose the score for the dark tower and martin koolhoven ‘s brimstone , starring jon snow himself kit harrington . though i’m attempting to keep an open mind and be optimistic about justice league , especially considering jeremy irons ‘ comments about the upcoming film , there’s a chance holkenborg’s work will be a standout in justice league as well .

“they are filming ( justice league ) now , and i jump in from august , ” eisenberg told us ahead of the release of now you see me 2 .

so “justice league , ” while still moving forward , is not expected to start production this spring ; a summer or fall shoot appears more likely , actors willing .

this is news to me . maybe the fanboys and girls know it . but jeremy irons is bringing batman’s butler alfred to zack snyder’s “justice league of america . ”

the dc / warner bros films have become defined by a grim ' n ' gritty , extremely serious style , but things may start to change in justice league .

while the overhaul of justice league suggests a lot of changes , they will be happening on a fairly short time frame . the movie comes out nov . 17 .

but justice league plans weren’t the only reason for killing off superman . snyder also wanted to bring henry cavill ’s character to the ultimate point of embracing his humanity :

over on twitter , batman news dug into the dceu fandom to find a few of the film ' s attendees . the fans , who wished to remain anonymous , told the site they loved the film .

a new german - language promotional video for justice league found its way online in early october 2017 , and although it didn’t provide much in the way of new footage from the film , it did offer some candid insight into the cast members’ opinions of their superhero suits .

with so many new characters on the side of the heroes , it stands to reason that the film will introduce a few newcomers with more questionable morals . for now , though , steppenwolf appears to be the most prominent of the villains making their debut in justice league .

we haven’t seen much of steppenwolf’s not - so - pretty mug from the justice league marketing . the big bad of the film is played via motion - capture by ciarán hinds , so the little we’ve seen of villain’s face has been blurry , probably unfinished visual effects .

after helming man of steel and batman v superman : dawn of justice , director zack snyder is returning to oversee the justice league movie , arriving in 2017 . following warner bros . bringing him aboard to write batman v superman : dawn of justice , argo ' s chris terrio is also writing the first justice league movie , though presumably snyder has a good amount of creative and story input , having played a huge role in getting the dc extended universe to the place where it is right now .

the smurfette principle : wonder woman is the only female founding member of the league .

when breaking down the justice league movie trailers that have been released , we ( like many other fans ) noticed a particular scene that stood out from the rest . that scene was of a massive battle taking place on a fiery and desolate patch of land , with the amazons of themyscira battling the alien army of apokolips . it was impossible to tell for sure where the scene fit into the storyline of justice league - but thanks to the latest casting confirmation for the film , we can now say for sure what justice league ' s big amazon battle sequence is , and where it fits into the story .

it is known that some producers believe justice league is not australian enough to qualify for the scheme and should be made under the 15 per cent rebate for foreign films .

she will make her appearance first in justice league , the movie that introduces various characters and story threads to fully launch the cinematic universe based on the dc entertainment characters .

the video also features some funny behind - the - scenes moments from filming on justice league that add a bit of levity to what seems like an otherwise dark adventure .

in october 2016 , the studio officially pushed back the second justice league movie to make room for a batman solo movie , and later removed it from the calendar entirely .

see justice league for more information about the dc animated universe version of the team , and dc universe animated original movies for more information on that incarnation of the team .

" we can ' t say much , ” gadot started , “but if you ' re a big fan of superman you ' re going to love justice league . "

the oscar - winning director of happy feet , george miller , could be forced overseas with his $ us200 million ( $ 220 million ) superhero movie justice league mortal because of a dispute over whether it is eligible for the federal government ' s new incentive for film production .

wonder woman , directed by patty jenkins ( monster ) and starring gadot , is currently shooting and will be released on june 23 , 2017 . that film will be followed up just a few months later by snyder’s justice league , which will debut nov . 17 , 2017 .

aquaman and the flash will come afterwards , and have been billed as continuations of their stories from justice league . it seems that the film will take us into aquaman ' s underwater kingdom of atlantis , with a sneak peak at patrick wilson ' s ocean master , too .

but mostly this anecdote serves as a tangible example of just how hard warner bros . is scrambling to make sure justice league succeeds , and the studio’s apparent belief that in order for the film to have a chance at that success , it requires an almost total tonal revamp .

zack snyder is currently in post - production on the highly anticipated dc comics superhero team - up movie justice league . though that film’s release date is a little less than a year away , its follow - up film , which had previously been set for a mid - 2019 release , is now being delayed so that ben affleck ‘s standalone batman film can nab a spot on the schedule . now , snyder has a window available for another project outside of the warner bros . dceu .

a direct sequel to batman v superman : dawn of justice , justice league is directed by zack snyder , with additional direction by joss whedon , and brings back the live - action superhero trio of ben affleck as batman , henry cavill as superman , and gal gadot as wonder woman . they’re joined by jason momoa as aquaman , ezra miller as flash , and ray fisher as cyborg , as well as jeremy irons as alfred pennyworth , and ciaran hinds as the film’s villain , steppenwolf . here’s everything we know about justice league .

goes into detail about the script development of the film , starting with two separate scripts way back when .

snyder tweeted a clip of a new short film that is set to premiere on the vero platform . the film , called snow steam iron , is set to release sometime soon . check out the clip above .

zack snyder’s justice league — part 1 is officially a go at warner bros . and will begin filming on april 11 , a little over two weeks after the release of batman v . superman : dawn of justice , the director and studio tell ew .

billed as ‘a zack snyder film’ in the opening titles , despite extensive , widely publicised reshoots overseen by joss whedon , justice league is a film at odds with itself . while the action features snyder’s visual hallmarks – muscular slow - mo , comic panel framing – whedon’s fingerprints are all over the dialogue ( he gets a co - screenplay credit ) . throughout justice league does its utmost to convince you that ‘the dceu is totally fun now ! ’ – most notably through barry allen’s vexing tendency to converse entirely in quips – but the humour falls flat throughout .

suicide squad is scheduled to arrive in theaters on august 5 , 2016 ; wonder woman is slated for release on june 2 , 2017 ; followed by justice league on november 17 , 2017 ; aquaman on july 27 , 2018 ; an untitled dc film on october 5 , 2018 ; shazam on april 5 , 2019 ; justice league 2 on june 14 , 2019 ; an untitled dc film on november 1 , 2019 ; cyborg on april 3 , 2020 ; and green lantern corps on july 24 , 2020 . the flash is currently without a release date .

fans’ very first glimpse at justice league arrived via social media , with snyder posting a photo of himself in february 2016 alongside momoa on the film set . although momoa doesn’t appear in costume in the photo , the costumes for the flash and mera can be seen in the background .

chris terrio wrote the screenplay for justice league , which will be released in two parts by warner bros . it is produced by charles roven , zack snyder and deborah snyder .

when setting up a home base for the league ( the hall of justice most likely ) , diana suggest bruce to leave " room for more " , suggesting the trope .

justice league attempts to save the day on november 17 , 2017 . meanwhile , jk simmons has both la la land and patriot ' s day heading to theaters this winter .

there are merely two months to go until the embattled justice league hits theaters , but is the superhero team - up film still undergoing reshoots ? if so , that’s got to be a record crunch time . if not , it means wonder woman may be coming to james wan’s aquaman .

but there is one other standard member of the group who may be missing , and that ' s green lantern . whichever version of the hero they decide to feature ( hal jordan , john stewart , kyle rayner and guy gardner being the main four ) , it was reported that he / they won ' t be showing up before or during justice league at all . although more recent rumours have contradicted that , so maybe green lantern will show up as the mystery seventh justice league member after all . armie hammer ( who was to be batman in the cancelled justice league : mortal film ) seems to be the favourite for the role .

offering glimpses of batman , wonder woman , aquaman , cyborg , and flash in action against an invading horde , the trailer also revealed glimpses of some of the comedy that the studio and snyder insisted will lighten the tone of the film . snyder’s previous dc comics superhero mash - up , batman v superman : dawn of justice , was criticized for its oppressively grim and gritty tone , and the justice league team has been vocal about its efforts to add more humor to the upcoming film .

but how patient ? roven says we may not see hal jordan , john stewart , or any incarnation of green lantern until justice league – part two . maybe . “every beat of the movie is not yet worked out . so there’s the possibility that he may or may not be in justice league 2 , ” the producer says . “for now , we felt that we were introducing enough characters that the best possible place we could put green lantern is some introduction in justice league 2 , or barring that , a movie after . ”

the first official teaser for the film — which premiered during 2016’s comic - con international in san diego — appeared to confirm that justice league should be a lighter , less moody take on dc comics’ live - action superheroes . the preview featured batman and wonder woman engaging in a bit of witty banter , as well as a scene that suggests the flash will be a comedic focal point in the film .

justice league : part one is scheduled to begin filming today , monday , april 11th . hopefully it won’t be long until we get some official photos and news about the production .

among the returning characters in justice league will be a few recent additions to warner bros . pictures’ superhero universe : connie nielsen’s queen hippolyta and robin wright’s general antiope from wonder woman .

after teasing the arrival of the first full - length trailer for justice league , warner bros . pictures delivered it on march 25 — and it quickly became quite the conversation starter .

recently , though , the batman v superman : dawn of justice director started dropping hints . and today , he finally unveiled just what it is : a short film he shot entirely on an iphone .

no justice leaguer has it as rough when it comes to solo movies as the flash .

a controversy was spread that all amazons were dressed more skimpily in justice league , which isn ' t true . most amazons in the film are seen in comparable full armor . wonder woman also showed a number of background amazons in what amounts to leather skirts and bras as casual or training wear .

justice league will be released on november 17 , 2017 , rounding off what is probably the busiest year in hollywood superhero movies so far . there will be seven dc and marvel adaptations coming out , and that doesn ' t even count the lego batman film and all the tv and netflix properties .

filming on " justice league " had already finished , and snyder was in the throes of postproduction to meet the film ' s november 17 release date . in addition to the postproduction process , whedon will also oversee a handful of reshoots that had already been scheduled before synder ' s daughter died .


pauvre pierrot ( aka poor pete ) is an 1892 french short animated film directed by charles-émile reynaud .

it consists of 500 individually painted images and lasts about 15 minutes originally .

it is one of the first animated films ever made , and alongside le clown et ses chiens and un bon bock was exhibited in october 1892 when charles-émile reynaud opened his théâtre optique at the musée grévin .

it was the first film to demonstrate the theatre optique system developed by reynaud in 1888 .

pauvre pierrot is also believed to be the first known usage of film perforations .

the combined performance of all three films was known as pantomimes lumineuses .

these were the first animated pictures publicly exhibited by means of picture bands .

reynaud gave the entire presentation himself by manipulating the images .

you learn something new everyday , or at least i do . when i sat down to do some research on the early history of film animation , i made the perplexing discovery that the first instance of public film projection was not held by the lumiere brothers in paris on december 28 , 1895 as is so commonly stated . rather , one charles - émile reynaud threw open the doors of the musée grévin in paris and exhibited three animations on october 28 , 1892 , including the surviving pauvre pierrot . that’s a 3 year beating to the punch .

then reynaud made a leap , creating a larger version of the praxinoscope in 1888 that was capable of projecting images on a screen , a device he called the théâtre optique . on december 28 , 1895 , reynaud presented pantomimes lumineuses , a programme of three animations – pauvre pierrot , un bon bock , and le clown et ses chiens . each of these animations were made of 500 to 600 individually painted images and ran about 15 minutes in length . thought the lumière brothers would outshine the programme just a few years later , the show remained in the musée grévin until 1900 . estimates reckon that roughly 500 , 000 people saw it during that run .

charles - émile reynaud was a science teacher and spent a lot of time on the mechanics of capturing motion on film and addressing the question of what to do with it once it was there . this was a period of fast and furious development of motion picture technology , with a new this - o - graph and the next whatsit - scope appearing every 5 minutes . in 1877 , reynaud created the praxinoscope , predating both edison’s kinetoscope and the lumière brothers’ cinematograph . the praxinoscope itself was a modification of the zoetrope and phenakistoscope , combining the cylindrical design of the former with the viewing mirror of the latter .

in 1878 reynaud improved the design , creating the praxinoscope theatre . this device included a glass viewing screen which allowed the moving image to be superimposed over a changeable background , the first teetering steps toward real animation . reynaud continued to tinker with the design and in 1880 created the first projection version , the projection praxinoscope used a lantern to project the moving images onto a small screen , allowing a larger audience to view it . however , the projection praxinoscope was limited to only 12 images .

like quite a few early film pioneers , reynaud met a tragic end . circa 1910 , he was just crushed by the introduction of the cinematograph . the public abandoned his théatre optique shows . broke and depressed , he reportedly tossed most of his work and his equipment in the seine . he entered a hospice on march 29 1917 and died less than a year later on january 9 , 1918 .

charles - emile reynaud ( 1844 – 1918 ) was a frenchman , who developed a technical understanding of visual science as photographer’s apprentice .

in 1877 , he developed the praxinoscope – the successor to the zoetrope . it used a strip of pictures placed around the inner surface of a spinning cylinder . the praxinoscope improved on the zoetrope by replacing its narrow viewing slits with an inner circle of mirrors , placed so that the reflections of the pictures appeared more or less stationary in position as the wheel turned . someone looking in the mirrors would therefore see a rapid succession of images producing the illusion of motion , with a brighter and less distorted picture than the zoetrope offered , as with the zoetrop one would have to peep through the spinning slits .

in 1888 , reynaud demonstrated the device he called theatre optique to a small audience , by showing his own , hand painted film called ‘un bon bock ( a good beer ) . operating the optique was considered a complex task , which in turn dissuaded potential buyers . in 1982 , reynaud settled on a contract with the grevin wax museum in paris , which would see him perform daily screenings , produce regular new films and give away the exclusive rights for his new machine . in 1900 , he closed his theatre optique , and sunk into depression due to the advancement in technology at the time ( lumiere brothers ) . he destroyed his machines , and threw his hand painted shorts into the river seine , he died in poverty in 1918 .
