While we’re fully well aware that the wait for Justice League is arguably harder to endure now more than ever due to opening weekend being right around the corner, the folks at Warner Bros. marketing are at least helping us pass the time.
Having said that, we find it highly appropriate that the latest theatrical poster be dropped during what’s been dubbed “Flash Week,” because one could argue that it’s the Scarlet Speedster leading the charge. Regardless, his cohorts Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Cyborg look no less amazing – even though Superman’s invitation was seemingly lost in the mail yet again.
Furthermore, each character’s likeness and demeanor are captured rather well, as anyone viewing this piece can get a clear idea of what their respective personality is like. One thing I’ve learned in my day is that if your Dark Knight looks angry, you’re doing it right. And while Batfleck doesn’t look overly enraged here, he’s most certainly ready for a fight.
Another thing worth pointing out is that the visual style of director Zack Snyder is somewhat retained. Sure, Joss Whedon stepped in to film some reshoots and polish the screenplay, but the official word is that this is still his movie. Granted, that may ignite passions on both sides of the aisle, though we all must admit that the guy has a unique visual style and really knows how to make a superhero look as iconic as humanly possible.
Justice League opens in theaters on November 17.
