After the sad clown cars that were the Zack Snyder Superman (RIP) movies, we weren't really expecting much from his upcoming take on the Justice League.
News of the magnetic Jason Mamoa of Khal Drogo fame and the exuberant Ezra Miller being cast as Aquaman and The Flash came in.
Some of us got cautiously optimistic. But really, how can Snyder (a notably bad filmmaker) make a decent movie with five characters when he couldn't with two?
But hope springs eternal, and everything changed when the first Justice League trailer appeared at Comic Con on July 23.
Justice League trailer is excellent. Superman being gone probably helped. I'm excited to see more WILL I NEVER LEARN

Damn! Affleck is fairly charismatic, Ezra is fun, Gal Gadot is better than she was in Dawn of Justice, Cyborg looks badass and Jason Mamoa aka Aquaman aka "King of the World" is living on a plane beyond the realm of badassness.

Do Warner Brothers finally have a winner in their hands?

#JusticeLeague trailer breakdown is currently uploading, should be about 25 minutes. Plus I gotta decide on the shade of red arrow.

The trailer is absolutely stunning with a surprisingly fun tone. Mamoa and Miller are inherently snarky actors and that balances the banality of Wonder Woman and Cyborg really well.

Affleck is more Affleck, which is good for everyone. Also, please let's hope there's no Superman near this film.
Should we finally trust the Warner Brothers and dive heart first into this?
Decisions, decisions.
