'Justice League' Batman Origin Featurette Released

DC Entertainment is helping fans prepare for the Justice League movie by condensing over 75 years of Batman's comic book history into a 60-second video.

The video focuses on Batman's vigilante career before becoming a part of the Justice League:

"Before the Justice League, Batman was a one-man war on crime. He struck fear into the hearts of Gotham's criminal with brutal tactics and intimidation. The man brooding under the mask wasn't some supernatural creature, but billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.

Orphaned at a young age and obsessed with preventing a tragedy like this from ever happening to someone else, Bruce hardened his body and mind into a weapon against injustice."

In Justice League, Batman is played by Ben Affleck. Affleck debuted in the role in last year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. As Affleck explained previously, Justice League finds Batman leading other heroes instead of battling them.

"This is a very different dynamic for Bruce Wayne from the first movie, where he was full of anger and resentment and a kind of irrational rage towards Superman," Affleck said. "Here, he's really in the mode of your more classic Batman story, where he's more heroic, trying to save and protect people, trying to build this unit," Affleck said. "That was a totally different thing. The idea that this character is trying to assemble a group and get them to work together. Because Batman is a kind of internal, dark, conflicted guy. So it was challenging for him to turn outward and try to get all these people to work together."

Justice League tickets are now on sale.
