6. The Justice League Cartoon Homages

Because this is a superhero ensemble movie, there obviously has to be a number of hero shots, with the best coming in the second trailer showing off the heroes standing menacingly in front of a scorched sky (apart from The Flash, who is typically goofing off).

And that scorched sky is the most interesting part of that scene, as it's very clearly a reference to the animated Justice League show that was so great back at the start of the millennium.

And if you think it's an accident, consider the release dates of the show and the film.

Justice League Animated first airing: November 17, 2001

Justice League movie release: November 17, 2017.
