The fan concept is quite expansive, introducing every Justice League member. Most of the suits don’t have the same modern flair that we’re used to, but they still look solid and would have made 1950s audiences extremely pleased. Characters like Steppenwolf and Darkseid, who were created using CGI in Zack Snyder’s “Justice League,” particularly stand out. In the video, it’s clear that actors are wearing suits and considerable amounts of prosthetics to step into their character’s shoes. The Parademons are also obviously actors in elaborate costumes.
This is a big-budget spectacle for the time, teasing several sequences like Batman and Superman fighting, the Man of Steel rescuing Lois Lane, and Aquaman’s underwater introduction. We even see iconic locations like the gothic Batcave, making this one of the most fleshed-out concept trailers on YouTube. As great as it is, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever get a throwback take on Snyder’s “Justice League.” Snyder has previously explained how he has superhero fatigue (like the rest of us) and he’s now busy cooking projects up over at Netflix.
As great as it would be to see a superhero film set in the past (2025’s “Fantastic Four” may have a 1960s setting), the rebooted DC Universe seems to take place in contemporary times. The franchise is on track to debut with 2025’s “Superman.” The James Gunn-directed pic will depict Superman differently than Snyder, which should either please or enrage fans.
