Justice League Movie Cast & Characters:

• Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne / Batman:
• A wealthy socialite, and the owner of Wayne Enterprises. He dedicates himself to protecting Gotham City from its criminal underworld as a highly trained, masked vigilante equipped with various tools and weapons. Affleck noted on how the film allowed him to reinvent Batman and portray a more classic take on the character. He described that in the film, audiences will see Batman as more heroic, and more of a leader. “Batman is by nature, [while] not necessarily anti-social, pretty private, pretty a loner,” Affleck says. “And then in this movie he’s thrust into the role of having to not only work with people, but bring them together and convince them to come in and try to … somehow with Wonder Woman hold all that community effort together. That was a really interesting thing to play for me, and it also does take us to a more traditional role for Batman in the Justice League comics, and his role with the Justice League versus the sort of less typical version we saw in Batman v Superman, where he was blinded by rage and wanted to take on Superman.”
• Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Superman:
• A member of, and inspiration for, the Justice League. He is a Kryptonian survivor and a journalist for the Daily Planet based in Metropolis. In Justice League, Superman was portrayed as more optimistic. The character was intentionally excluded from all Justice League marketing materials to emphasize his death as depicted in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
• Amy Adams as Lois Lane:
• An undaunted and compassionate award-winning journalist for the Daily Planet and the love interest for Kent.
• Gal Gadot as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman:
• An antiquities dealer, an acquaintance of Wayne, and an immortal Amazonian warrior who is the crown princess of Themyscira and daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. She is endowed with metahuman attributes and abilities inherited from her parents.
• Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash:
• A Central City University student who can move at superhuman speeds with his ability to tap into the Speed Force.
• Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry / Aquaman:
• Half-human and half-Atlantean metahuman with superhuman strength and aquatic abilities. Momoa was cast as Aquaman in June 2014 and made a cameo appearance in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
• Ray Fisher as Victor Stone / Cyborg:
• A former college athlete who, after being cybernetically reconstructed after a nearly fatal car accident, is turned into a techno-organic being enhanced by reactive, adaptive biomimetic alien technology. His enhancements include the abilities of flight, variable weaponry, and technopathy. Fisher portrays the character through the use of motion capture for the cybernetic portion of his body. Fisher was cast as Cyborg in April 2014, and made a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
• Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth:
• Wayne’s butler, chief of security, and trusted confidant.
• Diane Lane as Martha Kent:
• Kent’s adoptive mother.
• Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta:
• Diana’s mother and the Amazonian Queen of Themyscira.
• J. K. Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon:
• The Gotham City Police Department Commissioner, and close ally of Batman.
• Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf:
• An alien military officer from Apokolips leads an army of Parademons and is searching for the three Mother Boxes held on Earth. The character is described as “old, tired” and trying to find a way to escape his role of servitude under Darkseid. Hinds portrayed the villain through the use of motion capture and received some advice in the process from Liam Neeson, who had recently done similar work in A Monster Calls. After the release of the film, Hinds was reportedly unhappy with the final cut of the film, which trimmed down the backstory and characterization of Steppenwolf.[citation needed]
• Amber Heard as Mera:
• A princess of Xebel approaches Curry to discuss the nature of the Mother Boxes.
• Joe Morton as Silas Stone:
• Victor Stone’s father and head of S.T.A.R. Labs.

Storyline:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of meta-humans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

About Justice League Movie:

Justice League is based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name, it is the fifth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Warner Bros. began to develop a live-action Justice League film in 2007 with George Miller set to direct, but the project was canceled due to production delays and budgetary concerns.

Principal photography took place from April to October 2016. After Snyder stepped down from the film following the death of his daughter, Whedon was hired to oversee the remainder of post-production, including writing and directing additional scenes, as well as reshooting a large portion of the film, which changed many aspects of it; Snyder ultimately retained sole credit as director.

With an estimated production budget of $300 million, Justice League is one of the most expensive films ever made.

Justice League premiered in Los Angeles on November 13, 2017, and was released in the United States four days later. The film grossed $657.9 million worldwide against an assumed break-even point of $750 million, becoming a box office bomb and losing Warner Bros. an estimated $60 million.

It received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, with criticism aimed towards the plot, pacing, generic villain, direction, cinematography, and computer-generated imagery, while its humor and disjointed tone were met with polarized responses, although the action sequences and performances were praised.

Whedon’s major involvement during post-production also received harsh criticism especially from the cast, particularly Gadot and Fisher. A director’s cut, titled Zack Snyder’s Justice League, was released on HBO Max in March 2021, after fans had begun to advocate for Snyder’s original version of the film since the film’s theatrical release.

Justice League had its world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on November 13, 2017, and was released in the United States on November 17, 2017, to coincide with the 16th anniversary of the Justice League animated series.

The film was released on digital download on February 13, 2018, and was released on Blu-ray Disc, Blu-ray 3D, 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray, and DVD on March 13, 2018, in various international markets. The Blu-ray features two deleted scenes titled Return of Superman. It is also notable for having no director commentary from either Zack Snyder or Joss Whedon. As of August 20, 2021, it has made $30.4 million in DVD sales and $41.5 million in Blu-ray sales, totaling an estimated $71.9 million in domestic video sales according to The Numbers.
