Tuesday night in America, early Wednesday morning for us in
the UK, DC fans and film fans in general were watching ‘DC Films present The
Dawn Of The Justice League’ on the TV network The CW to find out what will be
happening in the DC Cinematic Universe.

The build up to the network special was brilliant as David
Ayer unveiled two different and fantastic Suicide Squad posters. We also got to
see the kick – ass concept art for the Justice League (see above) and the official Wonder
Woman logo.

Then on the show itself, hosted by Kevin Smith and Geoff
Johns, they showed new footage of Batman v
Superman, first look at Wonder Woman and concept art of Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The
Flash.

It all ended with the first OFFICIAL trailer of Suicide
Squad, directed by David Ayer.
All I have to say is god bless the internet and YouTube
because fans and movie goers outside the US weren’t able to watch this special,
but luckily some beautiful people uploaded the clips and concept art for
everyone to enjoy.

So let’s start with the new Batman v Superman footage and it wasn’t long,
just another 30 second TV spot. However, we did get a first look at Gal Gadot’s
solo Wonder Woman film and what they showed us was beautiful, director Patty
Jenkins and cinematographer Matthew Jenson will be bringing a strong vision to this film.
Even though it’s yet another origin story, it’s a very
important story to tell, they talk about how strong Wonder Woman is and making
sure you know she’s the best fighter in the DC Universe and was born to be a
warrior.

Hopefully this will calm down the Gadot hater’s and even
though I still find it strange they haven’t showed footage of her talking this
tweet made sense.
Yes, we still haven't heard Gadot say much. But this character is so damn important, I truly believe the people involved won't fail us #hope
Now let’s talk about this concept artwork for Aqauman,
Cyborg and The Flash! With all three looking totally badass.
Momoa will be bring strength to Arther Curry and to a
character which has been a long running joke, but I think the 36 year old Hawaiian
will turn him into the King of Atlantis fans have been waiting to see comparing him to the character in The New 52 comics and Injustice: Gods Among Us comic book, where he proves he's the fucking boss.

If you haven’t read a comic book before and want something
cool and different I seriously recommend Injustice.
Anyway, we’ve got a better idea of what Cyborg and The Flash
will look like in this Cinematic Universe. Cyborg has always been an interesting
character to me because I wasn't sure how they were going to adapt him into the big screen without
looking like Robocop or the Terminator.

The concept artwork looks really promising and I cannot wait
to see the transformation in either Batman v Superman or Justice League: Part
One.
Talking about promising the final piece of concept art
focuses on The Flash and how they’re going to make him a different character compared to
the incredibly successful TV show and I think they’ve done it.

They’ve focused on the Injustice comic book again making it
a more armed based suit and they’ve given him fingerless gloves, which I really
love.
Finally, the TV special finished with a brand new trailer of the Suicide Squad aka WORST. HEROES. EVER. I loved this trailer so much I think it does a great job of mixing the darkness and humour and I can see this getting a lot of comparisons to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

If you look at the colours used, I seriously believe David
Ayer has made the closest thing to a superhero arthouse film that is possible
and will be like we’re on an acid trip. The hype the trailer is making I won't be surprised if it comes close to the sort of money Batman v Superman
and Captain America: Civil War will make at the box office.

It’s easy to predict every guy will fall in love with Margot
Robbie’s Harley Quinn, if they haven’t already, and I think girls will also love
her as she’s a strong woman as well as loving to dress up. Also, we may have
found a role where Jai Courtney is actually good! A beer drinking Australian!
