14 New DC Comic Book Movie Rumours You Need To See

7. The "Official" Justice League Synopsis

The Rumour

Thanks to an unnamed "Asian magazine" - initially quoted by ComicBook.com - we have a full, official synopsis for Justice League. It reads as follows:

In the wake of Clark Kent/Superman’s (Cavill) death at the hands of Doomsday in BvS, vigilante Bruce Wayne/Batman (Affleck) reevaluates his extreme methods and begins reaching out to extraordinary heroes to assemble a team of crime-fighters to defend earth from all kinds of threats. Together with Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gadot), Batman seeks out cybernetically enhanced former college football star Vic Stone/Cyborg (Fisher), speedster Barry Allen/The Flash (Miller) and Atlantean warrior king Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Momoa). They face off against Steppenwolf (Hinds), the herald and second-in-command to alien warlord Darkseid, who is charged by Darkseid with hunting down three artifacts hidden on Earth.

Response

It certainly doesn't sound out of the realms of possibility in terms of the narrative, probably because there's absolutely nothing in there that is an actual revelation. It's just pieces of information we pretty much already know that's been cobbled together to form a semi-cohesive narrative.

And there's lots of reasons not to get your hopes up over this one (like there's no way Warner Bros would refer to Batman v Superman with the short-hand BvS), so maybe just shelve this one on the Nothing New pile?
