Justice League’s SDCC Trailer Remade Using Injustice 2 Footage Works Surprisingly Well

At San Diego Comic-Con Warner Bros. dropped a meaty Justice League “sneak peek” trailer, that weighed in at over four minutes. The trailer delivered tons of action, one-liners, and great character moments, and generally made November seem way too far away.

But hey, while you’re waiting for the movie you can still have some DC Comics fun with Injustice 2. For example, creative YouTuber Sebastian Hughes used footage from the fighting game to recreate the new Justice League trailer, and it works surprisingly well. Hughes doesn’t go for an exact match, incorporating all sorts of Injustice 2 characters (probably) not in Justice League – in this version of the trailer Brainiac is the villain and Supergirl, Green Arrow, and all sorts of other heroes make appearances. Check it out, above.

In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s (Henry Cavill) selfless act, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may 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, Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Ciarán Hinds, Amy Adams, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, and J. K. Simmons.

Justice League soars into theaters on July 17.
