Everything You Need To Know About How ‘Justice League’ Will Save the DCU

They Got to See a Scene Being Shot with Commissioner Gordon

According to io9 the tone of Justice League will be lighter, more akin to what we see in Marvel films. Two heroes that will bring a funnier side to the dark, gritty DC Cinematic Universe, are Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and the Flash (Ezra Miller). Both actors were on set filming during the visit, along with Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), and Commissioner Gordon (J.K. Simmons). io9 goes on to describe a scene that was shooting:

Gordon has used the Bat-Signal to call Batman and he’s arrived on the roof of the Gotham Police Department along with Wonder Woman and Flash. The set takes up half a stage, including a huge veranda with terrifying skeleton/gargoyles surrounding it (gargoyles that, oddly, look like a something out of concept art we saw earlier that day of Aquaman’s Atlantis).

“How many of you are their?” asks Gordon.

“Not enough,” says Batman. Gordon explains dozens of witnesses saw something in Gotham. “A bad guy with flying monkeys,” deadpans Batman. Apparently eight scientists are missing. Someone then yells from the other side of the rooftop.

“Nine,” says Cyborg as he walks towards the group. “The head of Star Labs was abducted last night.” As this happens, Wonder Woman smiles, suggesting that despite the additional bad news, she’s happy to see him.

(On set, there was speculation she probably tried to recruit him but he turned her down; now that his scientist father Silas has been abducted, he has decided to join them.)

Gordon continues to explain that there doesn’t seem to be a pattern to all of this destruction, but the team realizes the pattern is actually underground. There’s a convergence in an old tunnel that was abandoned in the ‘30s, which was supposed to link Gotham City and Metropolis. The League decide they have to see what’s doing on down there. “If he’s joining us, there won’t be enough room in the car,” says Flash, referring to Cyborg.

“I’ve got something bigger,” hints Batman. Gordon then turns around and, in classic Batman fashion, Wonder Woman, Batman and Cyborg disappear, leaving the Flash alone.

“Wow, did they just do that?” wonders the fastest man alive. “How rude.”

The film appears to have a lighter side than previous DC films from Warner Bros. The question I have, is how much the lighter characters will clash with the more serious ones. I can see Superman and Batman not finding them very funny, and the situation creating drama on the big screen, that audiences will have to sit through.
