Justice League Trailer Breakdown: 28 Things You Must See

28. Bruce On A Horse

Bruce Wayne's life as Batman isn't all about muscular tank-cars, flying Foxes and walking Crawlers, sometimes the only way to get around is to saddle up and pound the path with hooves. Hopefully he spends at least a few minutes establishing that this ride is to be called Bat-horse by everyone he encounters.

Given the terrain they navigate, this is obviously a mighty, mountain-climbing steed...

This is literally as light as the film gets. Murk is very much the order of the day once more.

Incidentally, this isn't the first time we've seen Batman on a horse, obviously. He mounted up for one of The Dark Knight Returns' most iconic images...

And there was initially a scene in Batman 1989 establishing Robin's origin that featured a horseback chase. It was obviously scrapped, but the boards are out there...
