Justice League Fan Trailer

Here’s a fun fan trailer for a Justice League movie made up of clips from various super-hero movies and TV series, plus sci-fi and disaster films.

There’s some nice editing to create match-ups between characters who haven’t actually appeared on film together.

YouTube says it was posted in September 2007, but this is the first I’ve seen of it. (via A Distant Soil)

Photos by samaritanx, rossnordean, and apocalyptic.

I found several pictures of the Flash and Starfire in the second picture, making me wonder whether they knew each other or just happened to cross paths frequently. There’s one photo of them with Dan Didio and George Perez, suggesting they’re the ones who went up onstage at the DC Universe panel.
