Justice League: 10 Ways It Sets Up The Future Of The DCEU

9. Green Lantern Corps

Early in the movie, Diana regales Bruce with a giant exposition dump regarding Steppenwolf's past and his plans on Earth, leading to a flashback sequence showing the Amazonian, Atlantean and human armies battling against Steppenwolf's army of Parademons.

It's one of the film's most visually impressive scenes and is particularly notable for briefly showing a Green Lantern flying around before being defeated by Steppenwolf, with a focus on the Lantern's signature green ring, which then flies away from the battle.

It's a fun little nod that obviously hints at the planned 2020 Green Lantern Corps movie, something further emphasised by the film's final scene, where the League establishes what just might be their Hall of Justice at a very dilapidated Wayne Manor, declaring there to be "room for more".

Realistically, though, Green Lantern will probably appear in Justice League 2 before Warner Bros. dares to gamble on another solo Lantern movie.
