As well as bringing DC’s two biggest icons together on the big screen for the very first time, Warner Bros.’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will also pave the way for the two-part Justice League movie by featuring Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash, and director Zack Snyder has been discussing the role they’ll play during an interview with Hall of Justice.
“As far as the other Justice League characters go, they play a very small role,” states Snyder. “It’s really just a whisper they exist. Except for Wonder Woman, we see her really well. But really, the movie is about Batman and Superman. And we really take time with them and we really drill down on the why of them and what they stand for and their beliefs and them as characters. That’s pretty much the why of the movie. But again as I said, it does begin the conversation about these guys are out there.”

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
