10 New Things We Learned About Joss Whedon's Justice League

1. Superman's Returning (Obviously)

Gasp.

Though we all saw this move coming from a mile away, given the ending of BVS as well as the fact that the Justice League just isn't the Justice League without its foremost member, it's still great to know that Kal-El's return is on the way, even if it does come at the cost of a digitally removed moustache.

There's little doubt that the man Alfred is talking to is Superman, as most of the other Leaguers don't really possess the innate ability to shake glasses of liquid ala Jurassic Park, but it'll be interesting to hear the how and why behind the character's return after his fight with Doomsday.

It's also interesting that Clark seemingly decides to pay Alfred a visit first - an element that could lend itself to previous speculation surrounding Batman's role in the character's return. There's no doubt that the character will be launching himself right into the fray upon his reintroduction however - a prospect that the rest of the League will almost certainly appreciate.

Saturday's trailer has given fans a lot to digest, and even a lot to be excited about. Here's hoping that the film can deliver the goods come November.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
