With a Justice League trailer on the horizon, Warner Bros. is teasing fans with an exclusive photo released to Entertainment Weekly. The image shows Batman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman standing together ready to fight. But all three of them are noticeably looking at something. What could it be? Or should I say who…
Major spoilers ahead.
Brandon Davis of ComicBook.com recently visited the set of Justice League andprovided a bit more insight into what the photo is really showing. Davis recalls the heroes are in a Gotham ventilation tower near Stryker’s Island and the photo is from a huge action scene where they fight parademons. It’s hard to see in the image, but Davis’ believes Batman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman are standing on top of the Bat Crawler in a flooded room. Read Davis’ full description below.
Batman , The Flash , and Wonder Woman are in a Gotham ventilation tower in this photo. It was a massive set built for an action scene. The group gets word of a parademon nest after a conversation with Commissioner Gordon and set out in Batman's new four-legged Crawler vehicle (a formidable spider-like tank which can crawl up walls).
Digging their way through a tunnel to the ventilation shaft on (or near) Stryker's Island, Batman's Crawler uses various weapons to fend off ravenous parademons trying to attack them. Once inside, they find a massive horde of the creatures and fight their way out, including a sequence on a long and broken bridge outside of the shaft.
Eventually, the Crawler ends up buried in water as the ventilation shaft presumably ends up flooded. Queue: Aquaman's entrance? It sure does look like someone made a surprising entrance by tossing Wonder Woman's shield down there! In any case, concept art showed the three heroes standing on top of the Crawler as it became consumed by water.
While Aquaman being tied to this scene is only speculation, the facial expressions of each character suggests an element of surprise. They are all clearly looking upward at something and if I saw a giant man fish, I’d react with the same glaring stare as Wonder Woman has in this photo. If the scene is really a flood, who else better to rescue the team than Aquaman? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below! Look out for a new Justice League trailer by the end of the month.
