Following the death of Superman, Bruce Wayne and Diana gather the metahumans seen on the LexCorp drive in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to form the Justice League.

==Trivia==
*Jason Momoa and Harry Lloyd previously worked together in the HBO series Game of Thrones.
*The film takes inspiration from the comic storyline Throne of Atlantis and the Justice League animated film based off that storyline.
*The first Avengers film also involved a storyline in which one of the heroes' brother was a main antagonist. According to Geoff Johns and Zack Snyder, this was somewhat on purpose, as the film "seems like it will be exactly the same [as The Avengers], then it does a complete 180."
*According to Geoff Johns, Warner Bros. and DC Films wanted to keep James Earl Jones' casting as Darkseid a complete secret. Jones was cast as Darkseid early on in production but was called into the studio to record one scene during the later days of post-production.
