in the future, the fact that the accident that
took Victor's body is basically the precursor
to him getting his powers. And the accident
that turned Barry into the Flash are two
separate, but very similar events that
happened to these guys. And both of them
deal with their accidents in different ways.
Victor's is very much on the outside, and
Barry's is on the level of the Speed Force. He
doesn't completely understand that either.
So somebody having an external struggle
and somebody struggling with the internal
struggle of, 'Any moment, this mysterious
force could rip my body into a million
pieces'... that's interesting."
In fact, Fisher seems to have devoted
a lot of thought to this and is keen to
analyze the entire Justice League team. "I
feel that Victor and Aquaman are probably
the most similar," he elaborates, "in that
they're two individuals struggling with living
basically half in one world, half in another.
We could say the same thing about all of
the characters, but specifically Aquaman

being half-human and half-Atlantean,
and Cyborg being half-human, half-robot.
I think there is a recognition between them
where they may not necessarily get along,
and they may not necessarily trust one
another at first, but it's that thing when you
see someone who's like you, and when you
resent yourself to begin with, it could create
that sort of conflict between them. There
is also a very deep level of respect at the
same time."
As to Superman, "He's hope. If we're
going with the timeline of everything, Victor
would have still been human at the time
that Superman was very much a figure of
controversy on this planet. I have to say, I'm
a BvS supporter and I love the work that
was done on Superman. One of the big
themes for me watching BvS is you look
at Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne: they're a
perfect study as to what's going on in the
world around us. Think about Superman.
He's basically a penniless, orphaned
immigrant who simply just wants to do
good and nobody will let him. And then
you have two of the most powerful and
intelligent men on the planet who have had
their places in our world basically upended.
They're basically told, 'You were at the top
of the food chain, but here's this person
who could literally do more than you ever
could and doesn't want a single thing. They
don't want to take advantage of anybody,
they're not after money, they're not after
anything except to do the right thing.' That

would make people nervous."
Not as nervous as Warner Bros. must be
feeling as Justice League approaches its
November 17 release date. But like their
on-screen counterparts, the ensemble
of actors all seem genuinely enthusiastic
about the film that's coming.
"Playing Batman was a boyhood dream
come true for me," smiles Affleck, "so
playing Batman alongside the Justice
League? I mean, what can you say? The first
time we all stood on set in costume, we just
looked around at each other and you could
tell it was a big moment for each one of us."
Concurs Gadot, "Getting to play Wonder
Woman and actually be the first to play her
in a feature film is something you might
hope for once in a lifetime. But to now have
played her in three films - including the first
Justice League film - and to look forward to
carrying on with the role is really amazing.
It's such an honor and I am grateful every
day for the opportunity to tell her story."
It's Miller who sums it up. "I would
earnestly say it was a raucous monkey barrel
of creativity. A veritable artistic crockpot
a-sizzle with the primordial ooze from which
our vertebrate film shall ultimately rise.
Rest assured, every day of this magnificent
endeavor, the retired airplane hangars
of Leavesden Studios shook with gleeful
laughter and guttural war cries as hundreds
of devout humans poured themselves into
this endlessly fascinating work."
Try putting that on a poster!

terrific Margot Robbie) and
Deadshot (Wil Smith in one

Bryan Singer (X-Men)
directed this moody love
letter to Richard Donner's
1978 Superman, with
Brandon Routh uncannily
conjuring up memories of
Christopher Reeve.

Val Kilmer took over for
Michael Keaton and Joel
Schumacher brought
a far more colorful,
neon-drenched vibe to
Batman, with Jim Carrey
as an appropriately manic
Riddler.

George Clooney and
Chris O'Donnell play the
bickering title characters,
Arnold Schwarzenegger is
a hulking Mr. Freeze and
Uma Thurman is Poison
Ivy. Special bonus: Alicia
Silverstone as Batgirl.

This follow-up to Man of
Steel won major points for
introducing Ben Affleck's
surprisingly convincing
Batman and Gal Gadot's
Wonder Woman.
