Justice League trailer shows DC knows Wonder Woman is their saviour

She joins Ben Affleck's Batman, Ray Fisher's Cyborg, Jason Momoa's Aquaman, and Ezra Miller's the Flash

Justice League - Trailer

Here's an interesting experiment: watch the Justice League trailer from last year's Comic-Con, then watch the trailer from this year's, and count Wonder Woman's screen time.

DC knows it's found their saviour, and her name is Diana: Gal Gadot's fierce and fearless Amazonian warrior has been placed front and centre of the latest Justice League promo, where once it seemed to very much be Batman (Ben Affleck)'s show.

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.

The new trailer even sees a return to Themyscira and Connie Nielsen's Hippolyta, with the film's main villain Steppenwolf seemingly making his presence known in their island utopia.

Also alongside for the ride are Jason Momoa's Aquaman, Ray Fisher's Cyborg, and Ezra Miller's the Flash - with Miller clearly doing the heavy work of the film's shift towards a lighter sense of humour.

This year's Warner Bros. panel also revealed that the Flash's own standalone movie would be subtitled Flashpoint, referencing a 2011 comics storyline in which Barry Allen awakens in an alternative universe where the Justice League doesn't exist, his mother never died, and his father never went to prison for her murder. It also introduces his arch-enemy, Reverse-Flash.

Justice League hits UK cinemas 17 November.
