Yes, fans got to savour most of this sequence when it was released in the original Justice League teaser over a year ago, but that doesn't change the fact it's probably the best-executed scene in the entire movie.

Bruce Wayne's stern incredulity mixed with The Flash's rat-a-tat, anxiety-driven motormouth makes the scene terrifically entertaining, and considering that it was shot long before Joss Whedon came aboard, is sure proof that Zack Snyder is responsible for some of what really worked in the film.

One of the film's few scenes to make smart, minimal use of CGI (the batarang throw is excellent), it's a snappy set-up that quickly moves things along, with The Flash agreeing to join the League so quickly feeling like an intentional, pointed satire of superhero team-ups in general (he is fast, after all).

Ezra Miller was really fantastic here and one of the movie's few real bright spots.
