Snyder, who previously directed Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, departed the Justice League movie in the wake of a family tragedy. In his place, Avengers director Joss Whedon has stepped in to handle the re-shoot and post-production process of the massive DC Films project.

In Justice League, Batman will be portrayed once again by Ben Affleck, before he goes on to play the role in the Matt Reeves directed standalone film. This is the first new image from the film which has surfaced in a considerable amount of time and arrives just in time for San Diego Comic Con. Most signs point to the next trailer for the film calling from the geek culture event in July, seeing as it is the next major event for Warner Brothers with no blockbuster films on their release schedule ahead of it.

In Justice League, 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—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder, from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, based on a story by Snyder and Terrio, and stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Amy Adams, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds.
