Synopsis

Zack Snyder directs the first film about the most famous group of DC Comics superheroes.

Following the tragic events of 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', Bruce Wayne puts his trust in humanity again after seeing hope following Superman's sacrifice.

Batman does not hesitate to seek help from his new ally, Diana Price, Wonder Woman. Together they search for and find metahumans to join forces with in order to fight the approaching threats. The planet finds itself at risk when a totally unknown and deadly threat comes to Earth. Batman and Wonder Woman get Aquaman, Cyborg and Flash to join their group.

But is it too late to save the planet? Can they do it without Superman?

Ben Affleck, Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher and Henry Cavill will transform into the superheroes that make up the famous group.

What the critics say average 4.4 from 7 outlets

  • 7.5 USA TodayBrian Truitt 'Justice League' does more right than wrong. Instead of having its heroes punch each other a lot, most of the tension comes from philosophical differences on what it means to serve the greater good. Read
  • 5.8 Rolling StonePeter Travers The scenes of the League members together, bickering and bonding, spike the film with humor and genuine feeling, creating a rooting interest in the audience. Without it, the film would crumble. Read
  • 1.5 Vanity FairRichard Lawson 'Justice League' is a big, ugly mess(...). It?s rather staggering, how pretty much nothing in the film works, not the semi-reliable old stuff, and certainly not all the new junk they?ve crammed in… Read

Trivia

All 9 facts
  • Crossover

    'Rick y Morty' is the show that Barry Allen's TV is playing in one of the Bruce Wayne scenes in the official trailer.

  • Anniversary

    The release date of the film is the same as the original animated TV series in 2001.

  • Historical accuracy

    A journalist asked Gal Gadot how she was planning on getting Wonder Woman's breasts from the comics, she shut him up: "Wonder Woman is Amazonian, and historically accurate Amazonian women actually had one breast. So, if I'd really go by the book, it'd be problematic".

  • Team

    The Justice League members are Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg.

  • Almost

    10 years ago, in 2007, George Miller cast several actors as the members of the Justice League, but his movie never made it. Miller had cast Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Armie Hammer as Batman, D.J. Cotrona as Superman, Common as Green Lantern, Adam Brody as The Flash and Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, among others.
