Justice League Trailer. (Nov 2017) Snyder loves his gritty fisherman/fishing town origin stories (Aquaman/Man of Steel). Can’t imagine they’re going to ever going to seriously going to refer to him as Aquaman. You get some more flashback from thousands of years ago when Earth forces managed to defeat Darkseid and bury the Motherboxes. At least from the trailer, looks like the cast has much snappier, more natural chemistry (esp. when compared to BvS) Wonder Woman Trailer. (Jun 2017) Appears to be a very grounded, WWI based conflict. Wonder Woman’s costume appears much brighter and they certainly don’t shy away from featuring Lasso of Truth. But everything looks like it’s put through a very concerning Snyder-esque blue filter. WW theme music from BvS returns. Doctor Strange Trailer. (Nov 2016) We see more focus on his hand movements. New Marvel Studios logo. Some really cool effects, unique to this film Strange ups “epic bar” from Thor Funny exchange between Strange and his friend regarding Wifi password Reports that this movie is best seen in 3D Flash, Season 3 Civil War II update (Issue #4) Suicide Squad (Aug 5.)
