The Cast
Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot will reprise their roles as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. J.K. Simmons will play Commissioner Gordon, and Amber Heard was also confirmed as the Aquaman character Mera. Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher will round out the rest of the superheroes as Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg, respectively.
On top of that already strong group, Wonder Woman’s General Antiope (Robin Wright) and Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) will also have cameos. In an interview with the L.A. Times, Nielsen revealed she and Wright will appear in a flashback of some kind, saying that they “got to do more in Justice League" together, and that “you'll get some of the history” between them. Kiersey Clemons will briefly pop up as well, as Iris West (aka Barry Allen's love interest in The Flash).

The Director
Zack Snyder, who directed both Man of Steel and the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, was happy to take on yet another DC Comics film with Justice League. As the movie reached postproduction, Snyder announced he and wife Deborah Snyder (who is a producer on the film) were stepping away from the movie to deal with the sudden death of their daughter, and focus on family. The Avengers director Joss Whedon has stepped in to shepherd the movie through any final edits, as well as shooting additional scenes, so that the film can keep its Nov. 17 release date.

The Synopsis
Warner Bros. unveiled the official plot: "Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes — it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions."
