Warner Brothers has released a special teaser for the Justice League movie at Comic-Con, and you can watch it now on YouTube. Co-starring Ezra Miller as the Flash (among others, including Jason Momoa as Aquaman), it gives us our first look at what the film will be like. Check it out!
The movie is due out in November 2017. What do you think of Miller’s Barry Allen, and the tone of the teaser in general? Interested in the film itself? Feel free to share your thoughts here!
Flash writer Joshua Williamson revealed some new information about the book at the Justice League Rebirth panel today at Comic-Con International.
Highlights from Newsarama’s liveblog and CBR’s liveblog (head over to those sites to read more):
His original plan was to pare things down to just one speedster, Barry Allen, but as he kept working on it, he realized it would be better to go the other way: Introduce lots of speedsters and show what makes Barry unique.
S.T.A.R. Labs has set up a training facility for the new speedsters. CBR has serveral art pages showing more than a dozen speedsters-in-training.
In addition to his friend August from the police force, two women named Mina and Avery will be working with the Flash.
There are no plans to bring Harrison Wells or other elements of the TV show at this time. (While S.T.A.R. Labs hasn’t been a big part of the New 52 Flash series, it’s been part of the DCU for decades.)
He also touched on what we already know about Godspeed — that he’s a villain who goes around killing other speedsters — and Kid Flash — that we’ll see younger Wally West’s journey toward becoming the hero seen in teasers for the new Teen Titans series.
The DC Collectibles panel at Comic-Con International unveiled some new Flash statues coming up, including a new wave of DC Bombshells statues and a statue inspired by Francis Manapul’s artwork as part of the DC Designers series. The Bombshell Flash statue is based on the Flash #32 variant cover by Ant Lucia.
DC posted photos of a number of their statues on Twitter: Continue reading

SPOILERS AHEAD!
Actress Kiersey Clemons is reportedly the top choice for the female lead in the Flash movie. Clemons also appeared in Dope, the movie that director Rick Famuyiwa is best known for. Ezra Miller plays Barry Allen in the film, so the female lead is likely to be Iris West.
On the heels of yesterday’s Kid Flash reveal, set photos have captured Keiynan Lonsdale in costume along with another actor in an unidentified costume that looks villainous. Possible spoilers after the cut. Continue reading
