One thing you cannot criticise Justice League for is its commitment to diversity. As Ray Fisher says: "DC's going to be changing the name to Diversity Comics pretty soon."

Representation is a major issue in massive blockbuster movies, and the way FIsher talks about his Cyborg really pushes that to the forefront:

"You're dealing with the only member of the Justice League who is African-American. You're dealing with the only member of the Justice League who is in some ways what some would consider disabled. You don't want to end up telling a story that isn't respectful of those factors. But he's going to be cool as hell."

Jason Momoa also talked about representation, and Zack Snyder's decision to cast him away from the "traditional" look of Aquaman:

"He's white with blond hair. But Zack had a vision. The fact that Aquaman is a brown-skinned superhero, I'm pretty stoked about that. I love being able to set the tone."
