After several teasers this past week, the new Justice League trailer is finally here. There's a lot happening, and we see the team coming together to face a deadly threat. Here's everything that's going on in the trailer.
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.
Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, rescues what appears to be a fisherman. We can assume he was rescued from the rough seas and Aquaman didn't sink his boat. In the previous footage shown at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, Bruce arrives at the tavern seeking Aquaman out. Perhaps that scene takes place right after this.
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.

With the Nintendo Switch only having 32GB of internal storage, you'll want to get a Micro SD card to supplement your digital downloads, but which one do you buy? We've rounded up eight of the best Micro SD cards on the market to steer you in the right direction. What Micro SD cards to look out for The Nintendo Switch supports cards up to two terabytes and Nintendo recommends a UHS-I (Ultra High Speed) Micro SD solution for the system. Also abbreviated UHS-1, the cards hit minimum write speeds of 10MB/s. While UHS-3 cards are faster, which write at a minimum of 30MB/s, the speed difference between the two types of cards is negligible when it comes to booting games. From our tests, we noticed a memory bottleneck. This means that, for the Switch, you shouldn't feel the need to pay the extra premium for more expensive UHS-3 cards, as it will not improve boot times. Aside from making sure you get a UHS-1 Micro SD solution, you should focus on getting enough storage for your needs and pay attention to price per gigabyte. We've ranked the Micro SD cards accordingly in our gallery here. Testing Methodology To test the Micro SD cards, we downloaded The King of Fighters '98 onto all eight of our cards and performed a boot test to see how fast each card loaded the game. As you'll see in the following slides, performance across all cards is largely the same.
SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Card
Size: 64GB
Street price: $21.99
Price per gigabyte: 34 cents
Advertised speed: Up to 80 MB/s transfer speed
Game boot time: 9.9 seconds SanDisk's Ultra 64GB solution here represents not only the best 64GB deal, but the best price per gigabyte value in our roundup. If you're likely to purchase physical copies of games and think 64GB of storage is enough to supplement your purchasing habits, this is the card we would recommend given its current street price.
Lexar 128GB 633x microSDXC UHS-1
Size: 128GB
Street price: $44.95
Price per gigabyte: 35 cents
Advertised speed: Up to 95MB/s read, 20MB/s write
Game boot time: 10.1 seconds If you plan on purchasing many of your games digitally and think that 64GB of storage is not enough, then you should look to Lexar's 128GB solution. It represents the second best price per gigabyte value in our lineup and is the most affordable 128GB card we've tested.
SanDisk Ultra 200GB microSDXC UHS-I card
Size: 200GB Street price: $72.99 Price per gigabyte: 36 cents Advertised speed: Up to 90MB/s read Game boot time: 9.8 seconds If you think 128GB still isn't enough, we'd recommend SanDisk's 200GB card here. It still offers a great price per gigabyte value at 36 cents and gives you a bunch of storage.
PNY Elite 128GB
Size: 128GB
Street price: $47.99
Price per gigabyte: 37 cents
Advertised speed: Up to 85MB/s Read speed
Game boot time: 10.1 seconds The PNY Elite 128GB Micro SD card is a good, relatively capacious solution, but it currently retails for slightly more than Lexar's 128GB offering. If you can find it for less, however, go for it.
Samsung Evo Plus 256GB
Size: 256GB
Street price: $129.99
Price per gigabyte: 50 cents
Advertised speed: Up to 95MB/s read, 90MB/s write
Game boot time: 9.9 seconds If you plan on purchasing most, if not all, of your games digitally and want a ton of storage, Samsung 256GB solution here may pique your interest. It's the most capacious card that we've tested, though it isn't super cheap retailing for around $130. With its fast advertised read and write speeds, it may be better suited for high-resolution video cameras.
Kingston Technologies 64GB SDCAC
Size: 64GB
Street price: $38.53
Price per gigabyte: 59 cents
Advertised speed: up to 90MB/s read, 45MB/s write
Game boot time: 9.9 seconds At its current street price, Kingston's 64GB SDCAC card is a tough sell. Its 59 cent price per gigabyte value isn't particularly good, and you can find 64GB solutions from SanDisk and Lexar for less. As it is a fast UHS-3 speed card, it's perhaps more fit for high-end video cameras.
Kingston Technologies 64GB SDCG
Size: 64GB Street price: $45.99 Price per gigabyte: 71 cents Advertised speed: Up to 90MB/s read, 45MB/s write Game boot time: 10.1 seconds Kingston's 64GB SDCG variant is a card that we can't recommend given its current price. It cost roughly double SanDisk's 64GB solution.
ADATA 64GB UHS-I (3) microSDXC card
Size: 64GB Street price: $49.49 Price per gigabyte: 77 cents Advertised speed: Up to 95MB/s read, 90MB/s write Game boot time: 9.9 seconds ADATA's 64GB offering here may make it a compelling card for high-resolution video cameras with its advertised speeds, but its performance benefits are lost on the Switch. We can't recommend it for Nintendo's console given its current street price.
