The trailer starts out with Bruce Wayne traveling the world to find the various superheroes to recruit them for an upcoming battle.
For a guy who devotes a lot of money and Bat-Vehicles to fighting crime, he takes a more subdued approach to seeking out allies.
We hear Bruce mention an attack is coming, but Wonder Woman disagrees: "It's already here."
In what appears to be Silas Stone's home, a Mother Box has been activated. Silas is Victor Stone's father. He was seen in the video footage Bruce Wayne found in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
A Mother Box is a small, sentient supercomputer from the planet Apokolips. In the previous footage, the Mother Box was used to help Silas rescue his son and turn him into Cyborg.
As Silas sees the Mother Box has been activated, a Parademon rises behind him. Parademons were seen in Bruce Wayne's future vision/dream. They are Darkseid's troopers on Apokolips.
Wonder Woman is shown in her civilian garb, talking to Bruce, as they prepare to seek out the others. From all the footage we've seen, it's only Bruce that heads out to recruit everyone. We'll have to wait and see whether or not Wonder Woman attempts to seek out Cyborg, since that first encounter hasn't been revealed.
Bruce finds Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman. It's not clear if Bruce was rescued from the rough seas or if Aquaman sunk his boat. This is different from the previous footage shown at last year's San Diego Comic-Con. Arthur carries Bruce into the local tavern after rescuing him. In the previous footage, Bruce arrives at the tavern seeking Aquaman out. Perhaps that scene takes place after Aquaman dumps Bruce's unconscious body in the tavern.
Cyborg is shown in action. It's not clear how long it's been since his transformation. He is using his abilities to help others. That should make him easier for Bruce Wayne to find.
The trailer shifts to showing the Flash in action. We can expect a lot of flashy visuals with the Speed Force.
In a more abbreviated scene than what was shown in last year's footage, Bruce throws a Batarang at Barry Allen in order to get him to reveal he's the Flash after he tries denying it.
Batman is finally shown in action. In the middle of a battle, Batman swings into a Parademon, dodging lasers being fired at him.
Aquaman makes a giant leap in order to throw his trident at some Parademons.
During this scene, Wonder Woman tells Bruce, "They said the age of heroes would never come again." It's not clear what or who this is referring to. Were there other heroes? Were there other heroes in this cinematic universe before now? Perhaps we'll find out more in the Wonder Woman movie.
Wonder Woman is seen fighting a group of men. They are wearing suits and gloves that make them appear to be bank robbers or something of the sort. Two others are seen unconscious on the ground. This likely takes place before all the big Parademon fighting begins.
Aside from being half machine, Cyborg is also able to fly. He can also cover up the exposed parts of his face.
The Flash vs. a Parademon. He simply speeds behind it and slams it through a door.
Some viewers have critiqued the DC movies as being too serious. There will be humor in the movie. Barry asks Bruce what his superpowers are. Bruce replies, "I'm rich." This also sets the scene to reveal Batman's new vehicles.
Lois Lane makes an appearance. From Batman v. Superman, we know Superman is unable to take part in the action--at least for now.
Mera, Aquaman's wife in the comics, is seen underwater. It's not clear how much of Atlantis we'll see in the movie.
Barry Allen is visiting his father, Henry, in prison. Similar to the comics and TV show, Henry must have been arrested when Barry's mother was killed by Reverse Flash. This is something that would be fleshed out in the solo Flash film.
A horde of Parademons is attacking. It looks like either the battle has arrived on Themyscira, Wonder Woman's home island, or the Amazons have joined in the fight elsewhere.
Batman meets with Commissioner Gordon, who comments, "It's good to see you playing well with others again." We know Batman's been active in Gotham for years and that his partner, Robin, was killed.
Aquaman arrives when Batman and the Commissioner are speaking. His comment towards Batman's outfit further shows there will be some humor. Batman and Aquaman may not be getting along too well.
Despite any differences Batman and Aquaman may have, they will be fighting side-by-side. Aquaman posed on top of the speeding Batmobile also further illustrates his brash and reckless behavior. Aquaman here is a warrior that seems to enjoy a good fight.
Justice League arrives in theaters on November 17.

Along with the digital release of Rogue One, we learned a bit more about the film. There are a couple of spoilers ahead. It was revealed that in the original script, Krennic was supposed to survive the final battle, only to be killed at the end by Darth Vader. In addition, someone cut together a really cool video that has the end of Rogue One seamlessly transition into A New Hope. You can watch that here.
Han Solo Spinoff And Episode 8 News
Star Wars had even more news this week, when it was revealed that we will learn how Han Solo got his name in his upcoming spinoff film. Does that mean it's not his birth name? You can read more about that here. In addition, we learned that Episode 8 did not have any changes made to it in the wake of Carrie Fisher's untimely passing.
Death Note Movie Gets A Trailer
Netflix released a trailer for its new film based on the manga series Death Note. Fans seem to be a bit polarized by it, but you can check it out here and make up your mind on it. The Netflix adaptation follows a high school student named Light, who comes across a book that kills anyone whose name is written in it. You can watch the trailer here.
Meet The Justice League
Justice League is coming this November, and finally, we're getting to see a bit more about the movie. Promos showcasing the superheroes on the team were revealed this week, which you can check out here, and on Saturday, the trailer for the movie will be released.
DC Comics recently launched several books based on classic Hanna-Barbera properties. Animated shows such as The Flintstones, Wacky Racers, and Scooby-Doo have been reimagined in strange ways. For example, the Scooby Apocalypse comic features the Mystery Incorporated kids in a world overrun by zombies, and the Future Quest series includes characters from Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, and more.
This coming week, DC is taking the Hanna-Barbera revitalization a step further by releasing comic book annuals (oversized comics released once a year) featuring crossovers with the animated characters and regular DC ones. These include: Green Lantern/Space Ghost, Booster Gold/The Flintstones, Adam Strange/Future Quest, and Suicide Squad/Banana Splits. Each also features a backup stories with characters such as the Jetsons, Top Cat, Ruff 'n' Ready, and Top Cat.
Here's a 13-page look from the Suicide Squad/Banana Splits issue, including a look at the Snagglepuss backup.
The Banana Splits was an hour-long live-action variety show featuring hosts in animal costumes posing as a rock band. The show, which ran from 1968-1970, also included live-action and animated segments.
In a new story, the Banana Splits are mistaken for metahumans and thrown into Belle Reve. Once in the prison, Amanda Waller recruits them for a secret mission. With Waller, "recruit" means she's forcing them to do her bidding by placing a bomb inside their skulls. The mission: rescue the Suicide Squad. It's up to Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snorky to rescue Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Katana, and Croc.
Here's something cool about Deadpool 2: Collider heard from sources that veteran actor Brad Pitt considered playing the role of Cable in the upcoming sequel.
According to the report, both film studio Fox and Pitt himself were enthusiastic. However, Pitt has since moved on, but those who want to see the Fight Club actor in the film shouldn't lose all hope yet. "Since this role is very much in flux, there's the possibility that things could change," Collider reported.
One thing that might complicate matters for Pitt is that he is scheduled to star in and produce the zombie movie World War Z 2, which is in the works but not yet fully confirmed.
Streaming giant Netflix and comedy veteran Adam Sandler have reached a new deal under which Sandler will make a further four movies for the digital platform, it was announced this week.
Sandler's original deal with Netflix was for four movies, two of which--The Ridiculous Six and The Do-Over--have already been released; the next one, Sandy Wexler, premieres on April 14. The fourth has not been announced yet, but Deadline, which has all the details on the new deal, reports that comedian Chris Rock might be involved in this project.
Sandler's Netflix films have not received the strongest reviews, but they have been massively successful, apparently.
"Adam Sandler [is] one of the leading comedians in the film world, and his movies have proven to be extremely successful with our subscribers around the world," Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said. "We are thrilled at the opportunity to extend our partnership with Adam and his entire team at Happy Madison and keep the world laughing."
There is no word yet on any details for Sandler's next Netflix movies. We'll report back with more details as they become available.
Brian Fargo, an industry veteran who worked at original Fallout developer Interplay and now heads up inXile, has announced that he will retire in 2019 after his studio's latest game, Wasteland 3, comes out.
Some of inXile's other in-development projects include The Bard's Tale and the virtual reality game The Mage's Tale.
Fargo told Eurogamer that after decades of work in the video game business, it's time to take a break.
"I love this industry, but I've been at this since 1981. I've been at it with Ken and Roberta Williams [Sierra co-founders], Trip Hawkins [EA founder], the guys from Brøderbund," he said. "I look at my friends, they have a lot more spare time than I do. It's a very intense business. It's all encompassing. It seems like I should relax for a little bit."
It remains to be seen who will replace Fargo as inXile's top boss, though he said he's confident in his team and their abilities. "I've been training these people for years to make me obsolete. That's what you have to do as a leader of a company," he said.
Finally, Fargo stressed that inXile, as it stands today, is a profitable company with a bright future.
"We don't owe any external people any money. We don't have any debt," he said. "The other shares are with some of the employees of the company. So as long as it continues doing good product it should be fine."
WWE's PPVs seem to be getting longer and longer, and the next one coming up is the company's largest event of the year, Wrestlemania. In 2016, the event lasted seven hours, including a two hour preshow. 2017's Wrestlemania 33 is a touch shorter, coming in at six and a half hours.
Currently, Wrestlemania will air on PPV and the WWE Network on Sunday, April 2 at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT. A Kickoff Show will air on the WWE Network prior to the main event, starting at 5 PM ET/2 PM PT. The second hour of the show will also air on the USA Network.
WWE's larger PPVs, which include Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and Wrestlemania, are typically longer shows, each of them hitting the six-hour mark over the past year. Wrestlemania going for almost seven isn't out of the question.
Considered the Super Bowl of sports entertainment, the first Wrestlemania took place in 1985 at New York City's Madison Square Garden. The show lasted two hours and sixteen minutes.
Splatoon 2's Global Testfire starts today and will run throought the weekend. The app is available to download on Nintendo Switch now.
You can grab the application from the Switch eShop, though until the event starts, booting the game up will just give you the following message: "The Splatoon 2 Global Testfire hasn't started yet."
You won't have to wait long, however. The first trial kicks off on March 24 at 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST / 7 PM GMT. Players have a number of limited-time slots in which to try the game:
