My already-low enthusiasm for this one has waned even further. Super-team has to ward off invasion by flying alien-things?
You mean the Parademons? Darkseid's shock troops from the comics?
Their presence in the trailer got me both excited and nervous because, as keen as I am to see Darkseid in a movie, I'm worried they'll fuck him up as Apocalypse was in X-Men.
Yep, I'd have preferred that they go with another super-villain... perhaps Brainiac. Could've done something a bit different with him. But with Darkseid... alas, the trailer suggests something akin to a DC retooling of Avengers 2012. (Basically, just more of this).
I'm still curious as to who the big hitter is they're bringing in at the end of the trailer to help take Darkseid on (because the J-League assembled for the movie isn't a match for him). Is it Superman returned? Or it is another big hitter from the DC(U)? Both of those are problematic in their own way.
If I were betting, I'd place my money on "Superman returned". I suppose they could bring in Green Lantern or Martian Manhunter. But they'll probably keep GL on ice for a while, allowing some time for memories of the 2011 misfire to fade a bit. And it's probably too soon to bring in MM. Nope, I think it'll be Superman resurrected. Could be pleasantly surprised though!
