Batman Goes Back To School In New Walmart Ad

The promotion for Justice League will be in high gear around the time school starts back up again in the fall…and Walmart is getting an early start on that by releasing an ad that features a very Ben Affleck-like Batman.

The ad, which starts with a father and his Justice League-loving son, utilizes a nice twist in the end that gives a sense of imagination as empowerment.

The next time we see Batman in live action will be Justice League from director Zack Snyder (with an assist from Marvel’s The Avengers helmer Joss Whedon).

Justice League currently has a 4.16 out of 5 ComicBook.com User Anticipation rating making it the third most anticipated upcoming comic book movie among ComicBook.com readers. Let us know how excited you are for Justice League by giving the movie your own personal ComicBook.com User Anticipation Rating below. Justice League opens in theaters no November 17, 2017.
