1) Batman’s Playing Well With Others Again
Last but certainly not least, we have former J. Jonah Jameson, J.K. Simmons, as Commissioner Gordon. We first see him standing next to Batman and looking across Gotham at night, in a scene that would be 100% classic Batman… if it wasn’t for the presence of Aquaman and Wonder Woman.
Speaking of which, this final scene reveals that Aquaman and Batman might actually be the dynamic duo to watch in Justice League. After Arthur comments that he “digs” Batman’s flying rodent attire, the trailer cuts to Aquaman riding on top of the Batmobile and crying “Yeaaahh!” Who’d have thought those two would be best buds?
Gordon also makes an interesting statement during this segment. As he sees Batman accompanied by Wonder Woman and Aquaman, he says: “It’s good to see you playing well with others again.” This is presumably another reference to the fact that Batman’s sidekick Robin died at the hands of the Joker at some point before the events of BvS. In the midst of the action and comedy of this scene, it’s a fitting reminder that there’s still a lot of darkness to the DCEU. What we’re hoping, though, is that Justice League balances the light and the dark better than the three previous films in the franchise.
