Justice League releasing on the 17th of November 2017, has had a trailer release as part of the events of a 2016 Comic-Con panel. And it is now definitely clear what heroes will be part of our Justice League. We have got Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg.
The Trailer shows us a few things:
- Wonder Woman and Batman are going to be working together on the recruitment of other superheroes with whom they will form the Justice League.
- We see Ben Affleck asking about Aquaman and finally meeting him, Aquaman seems to refuse Batman's recruitment proposal as he lifts him off the ground and pushes him against a wall.
- We also see Batman recruiting the Flash. Ezra Miller seems to be a decent fit for the flash but just like Ben Affleck as Batman, Ezra has the benchmark for the role already set so high by Grant Gustin in the Flash TV series. His scene in the trailer is pretty decent but it is still no Grant Gustin performance so if this is how he is gonna play the role both as part of Justice League and of his solo movie.
- We get a first look at Cyborg as he has a conversation with Batman. Cyborg tells him he heard about him but didn't think he was real, to which Batman responds, "I am real when it is useful".
We also know that Superman will be back because he is definitely not dead considering he has an upcoming Man of Steel sequel in the next few years.
We know as well from the list of credits for the movie that Lex Luthor is going to be part of the movie, however we are not yet sure who the supervillain for Justice League will be and whether Lex Luthor is involved in the main plot or is just part of a secondary plot in the movie.
CYBORG:

| Ray Fisher As CYBORG |
In the DC Cinematic Universe Cyborg will be portrayed by actor Ray Fisher. He has already made a cameo appearance in Batman V. Superman and will be part of the Justice League in the 2017 movie and its sequel. He will also star in his first solo movie about the character and titled Cyborg to release in 2020.
In the comic books, Cyborg was originally part of the Teen Titans but became a founding member of the Justice league in the 2011 DC reboot.
Before he became Cyborg, he was just Victor Stone, born to two scientists whom he grew up to resent as they experimented on him to enhance human intelligence. Even though he resented them, the experiments did have the desired effect oh him. He strikes a friendship with a Ron Evers who gets him in trouble with the law. To rebel against his parents he takes interest in athletics over education. His association with criminals like Evers leads him down a very dark path.
While in S.T.A.R. Labs on a visit to his parents an experiment with a portal goes wrong and monster kills his mother and mutilates him before his father forces the monster back into the portal.
Silas, Victor's father, outfits him with prosthetics he designs. Pretty much, most of his body and part of his face become metallic implants. Victor horrified at his new state feels a need to die, however he adjusts and learns to control his implants.
Rejected by his girlfriend and society, Victor is no more allowed to be part of athletics. When invited by his old friend Evars to take part in a terrorist attack against the UN, Victor finds his new passion and purpose as he battles Evars and stops him, becoming the Cyborg we will know and meet in the movie.
Whether the movies will use this as the origin story for Cyborg or not is yet to be seen either in the Justice League movie or in the 2020 movie Cyborg.
Cyborg's abilities are mostly attributed to his implants. His abilities include Body Resistance, Superhuman Strength, Speed, Endurance and Durability, Sensor Systems and Flight powered by rocket boosters among others.
Aquaman:
Arthur Curry or Aquaman's origin story as narrated by him in the comics goes:
 |
| Jason Momoa As Aquaman |
The story must start with my father, a famous undersea explorer — if I spoke his name, you would recognize it. My mother died when I was a baby, and he turned to his work of solving the ocean's secrets. His greatest discovery was an ancient city, in the depths where no other diver had ever penetrated. My father believed it was the lost kingdom of Atlantis. He made himself a water-tight home in one of the palaces and lived there, studying the records and devices of the race's marvelous wisdom. From the books and records, he learned ways of teaching me to live under the ocean, drawing oxygen from the water and using all the power of the sea to make me wonderfully strong and swift. By training and a hundred scientific secrets, I became what you see — a human being who lives and thrives under the water.
Aquaman's most important ability is the power to communicate with marine life telepathically and summoning them from a great distance. It is going to be great seeing this ability come to life on screen as Jason Momoa plays the role in the upcoming 2017 Justice League movie followed by the 2018 Aquaman solo movie named after the character.
