Justice League Comic-Con Trailer: 8 Ups And 2 Downs
2. A Cliffhanger For Added Suspense
It's painfully obvious who he's talking to here, but Alfred's final word in the trailer teases Superman's inevitable return nicely.
From the look of things, the Man of Steel's comeback is being saved for Justice League's final act - no doubt he'll rise from the dead just in time to turn the tide of the battle against Steppenwolf and his Parademon army.
But this is a well executed move by Warner Bros and DC as it builds the suspense without hitting the audience with a massive, Superman-shaped spoiler.
It also raises a few questions of his own, like why is Batman's butler the first person to encounter the risen Man of Steel? And just who is it that predicted his return, and where did they get their intel from?
Well played, Justice League, well played.
