9. Clark Kent is revealed, but not Superman

An important detail to note about this trailer is that Clark Kent is revealed, but not Superman. The fact that his presence is a dream could be misdirection. The end of BvS has something happening to the coffin of Clark Kent. His return is inevitable. What isn’t obvious is when this will take place. It’s possible that Clark Kent’s return occurs early on the film. Instead of quickly assuming the costume, he fears for his own death. Desiring his own bit of happiness he reveals himself only to Lois and promises her the life they could have. As the world falls to pieces she convinces him to once again don the suit of his ancestors to become the hero the world needs. Or who knows? Just a theory.

10. Barry Allen and Aquaman are going to steal the show!

Since the very first trailer Barry Allen has been hilarious and Aquaman has been a badass. As more trailers and footage has been released, they’ve often switched places. With Cyborg, these characters are the most unknown aspect of our new team. If their presence and chemistry maintains this level of awesomeness both Ezra Miller and Jason Mamoa will undoubtedly be scene-stealing and chewing the scenery.

11. The overall plot still remains a mystery

Despite the reveal of the main villain and most of the team, the film still remains a mystery. The only comparable film ever released, The Avengers, was completely revealed by this point. That film’s only reveal was its’ use of Thanos. Otherwise, Loki was the villain and there were no heroes or surprises revealed in the film. The same can’t be said for Justice League. Steppenwolf remains a mystery; most of the team remains a mystery. While the players and McGuffins have been revealed there are still plenty of cards up Joss and Zack’s sleeves.

12. Motherboxes are portals (among other things)

Steppenwolf arrives in the middle of Themiscyra, for what is likely to be the film’s first major action sequence. How he gets there is a mystery, but anyone who knows a bit about motherboxes aren’t as confused. Despite it being used as a power source to create Cyborg, Motherboxes are usually gifts to those born of New Genesis or Apokolips. They’re able to grant the wishes or demands of their owner, much like Green Lantern rings. They’re presence on Earth is likely the hot button issue for this film.
