The carnival-like red carpet ceremony lasted until six o'clock. More than 2,000 spectators who were lucky enough to get tickets entered the Sacred Civic Auditorium. During the red carpet stage, the creators had fully interacted with the media and the audience, so the host just gave a brief speech. , the screening begins.
In the dark auditorium hall, the Warner and Daenerys labels flashed on the specially installed ultra-large IMAX screen, and then the main film began.
A very unconventional start.
There is no wedge, the opening begins on Paradise Island, briefly with some necessary subtitles, and then, Steppenwolf's alien ship arrives.
Ancient gods VS alien civilization.
Because there has been quite a lot of foreshadowing through the previous series of films, this direct amplification move does not seem abrupt at all.
Simon here refers to the memory of the Battle of Paradise Island in Zack Snyder's version of "Justice League" and adds more details, such as changing Steppenwolf's teleportation to an alien spacecraft invasion. It doesn't seem that high-end, but it's like The arrival of the super-large spaceship in "Day of Independence" gives people an even more powerful sense of oppression.
What's more, these spaceships are not just decorations.
On the Paradise Island side, it was no longer limited to the large-scale cavalry battles of the past. There were also various displays of divine power that could be described as devastating. For example, Queen Hippolyta riding a Pegasus jumped from the sky at the most intense moment of the battle. It caused thunder and lightning, directly destroying one of Steppenwolf's spaceships.
However, the enemy was prepared and came fiercely, and Paradise Island was eventually defeated.
At the last moment, Queen Hippolyta activated the teleportation array on the island, allowing three Amazon female warriors to randomly teleport to the human world with three Mother Boxes each.
At the same time, a rocket was fired into the human world, igniting the ancient Amazon temple and warning Diana Prince in the distance.
In the first 20 minutes, after a hearty battle, the scene finally switches back to the human world.
Even within the barrier, the unusual movements on Paradise Island are still noticed by humans.
On the other hand, Diana Prince, who was pretending to be an archaeologist in London, also learned about the burning ancient Amazon temple from the media for the first time, and began her own exploration. Finally, in the underground ruins of the ancient temple, Dai Prince discovered Anna understood the history related to the Mother Box through the murals, and also had a premonition that Paradise Island had suffered a disaster.
The story begins with a multi-line narrative.
After being reminded and understanding the truth, Diana Prince immediately found Batman Bruce Wayne. While informing Bruce Wayne about the history of the Mother Box, she sought help from him and planned to return to Paradise Island to find out the truth of the matter.
Bruce Wayne, who has continuously experienced various major events on the verge of destruction, is researching a new armor with the help of Cyborg, which uses the alien technology inherited by Cyborg from the Mother Box. Compared with "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" The Anti-Superman armor is more powerful. Bruce Wayne named this armor Justice in reference to the gradually formed 'Justice League' team.
Justice Armor!
This is also the biggest adjustment compared to the version in memory.
Simon didn't want to see such a popular 'Master' acting like a soy sauce in various fierce battles again.
However, the research and development of Justice Armor has also fallen into a small bottleneck, lacking some reliable power.
The potential consideration is still the mother box.
Wonder Woman's visit happens to be what Bruce Wayne is looking forward to.
The two set off and flew a Bat fighter to Paradise Island, only to see the island in ruins. Queen Hippolyta was seriously injured, and most of the Amazons were killed and injured. The Steppenwolf army, which failed to obtain the Mother Box, also suffered heavy losses. Returned to the universe again.
The next step is to test who of the two sides can find three randomly transmitted mother boxes first.
If Steppenwolf finds it first, the earth will face the greatest crisis in history. And if they are found first, the crisis will still not be resolved, because the enemy is still there and the Steppenwolf must be eliminated.
While Wonder Woman and Batman were discussing countermeasures on Paradise Island, the first randomly teleported Amazon female warrior was discovered.
The Amazon, played by Victoria's Secret spokesperson Fernanda Lima, was accidentally teleported to Metropolis.
Metropolis without Superman.
Due to some misunderstandings, the female warrior showed her superpowers and was noticed by the United Nations Special Crisis Management Committee. Amanda Waller sent the Suicide Squad into the scene, and Rick Flag brought several members of the Suicide Squad series. After a short battle, the anti-hero quickly subdued the female warrior and obtained the mother box.
At the beginning, humans had a disagreement with Wonder Woman because of the custody of the Mother Box. After receiving a Mother Box from the female warrior and learning about the events on Paradise Island, the United Nations began to intervene. On the one hand, it also began to look for the other two who were immediately The teleporting Mother Box, on the other hand, actively responds to Steppenwolf's invasion.
Scene changes.
Megan Gale, the second-generation alien girl, guest-starred as another Amazon female warrior who was accidentally teleported to the boundless sea and was lucky enough to encounter patrol soldiers from the Atlantis Empire.
Arthur Curry is still unwilling to inherit the king of Atlantis. The kingdom is temporarily managed by a council composed of Nudis Vico and others. He obtains another mother box and learns the inside story of the attack on Paradise Island. Several members of the council got into an argument.
Some want to hide the Mother Boxes, some want to destroy them, and some suggest using them to fight Steppenwolf. Because that period of history long, long ago has not been lost here in Atlantis.
Vico finally decided to find their king and let Arthur make the choice.
The scene changes again.
The last Mother Box was transported to the depths of the ice-covered Antarctic continent. The Amazon female warrior who left with the Mother Box had passed away due to serious injuries and cold. In the wind and snow, a red light and shadow appeared. This was a demonoid.
The third mother box fell into the hands of Steppenwolf.
The story returns to Batman and his crew.
Returning from Paradise Island, Batman immediately began to use all resources to find the whereabouts of the Mother Box and convene the Justice League. At the same time, he also started communication with the United Nations.
The United Nations concealed the fact that it had obtained a Mother Box, and also expressed distrust of Batman's side. The reason was that the Amazons insisted that all three Mother Boxes were safe on Paradise Island, but they failed.
Wonder Woman countered by saying that if the Mother Boxes were in human hands, Steppenwolf might have obtained all three Mother Boxes in his first attack and destroyed the Earth.
The two sides broke up unhappy again.
Returning to the Batcave, feeling the powerful threat of Steppenwolf and trapped in the internal strife of mankind, the tired Batman had a nightmare. He dreamed that the earth's war against Steppenwolf ultimately failed, and Gotham, Metropolis, and Central City were all destroyed. Turned into ruins.
Waking up from his nightmare and looking at Wonder Woman, The Flash and other companions, Batman had pessimistic doubts.
Can we really succeed
Everyone understood that Bruce Wayne thought of the deceased Superman.
In a private conversation, Cyborg revealed to Diana an idea to try to use the power of the Mother Box to resurrect Superman just like he had encountered.
However, the stakes are high.
First, the team didn't have a motherbox.
Secondly, even if they get the Mother Box, what they resurrect is likely to be another 'Doomsday', a more powerful 'Doomsday' than the original one that mutated from Lex Luthor.
The story moves on.
Steppenwolf, who had obtained a Mother Box, received help and used the power of the Mother Box to launch an attack on the earth, destroying a city. At the same time, he issued an ultimatum to mankind, asking for help in finding the other two Mother Boxes.
Steppenwolf also promised that as long as he got three mother boxes, he would immediately leave with his alien army.
Seeing the tragic situation of the destroyed city, human society also fell into division.
Some people are inclined to help find the Mother Box and give it to Steppenwolf so that the plague god can be sent away.
Some people do not believe that Steppenwolf will leave easily after getting the three mother boxes. The reason is that the other party has already destroyed a city, so it is not impossible to destroy a planet in the future, so they advocate counterattack.
Atlantis.
Involving the life and death of the entire world, the wandering Arthur Curry finally returned. After some discussion, he temporarily agreed to take over the power of the king. At the same time, because of his previous cooperation in "Cyborg 2", Arthur took the initiative to obtain the rights of the Justice League team. Contacted.
One obstacle to resurrecting Superman is solved.
A round table discussion followed.
Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg, Martian Manhunter and the newly added Aquaman Arthur Curry.
The vote was three to three.
A stalemate.
Then Cyborg posed a soul torture. If Clark Kent himself was sitting here, would he choose to continue to protect mankind, or stay out of it
In this dispute, humans tested the Steppenwolf army parked in the universe.
The most powerful nuclear weapon failed to harm Steppenwolf's army at all, and the result was the destruction of another metropolis with a population of tens of millions.
Another result is that the Justice League decided to resurrect Superman.
The process was a bit bumpy, but the result was neither good nor bad.
Clark Kent woke up successfully, with incomplete memory, and had conflicts with several members of the Zhenghe Alliance. It was not until Lois Lane appeared in time to comfort Superman that more serious consequences were avoided.
Superman, who has not yet fully recovered, left with Lois Lane. Everyone was a little disappointed, but they also felt that at least Clark did not become an upgraded version of Doomsday, so things were not bad.
Steppenwolf's ultimatum is getting closer.
Zhenglian had decided not to hand over the mother box to the other party and began to actively prepare for the battle. At this time, the problem arose again. The Mother Box used to resurrect Superman accidentally entered a sealed state and can no longer be used to power Batman's Justice Armor.
The incident did not last long, and the turning point came quickly.
With Catwoman's lobbying, the Suicide Squad rebelled and snatched the mother box they had previously obtained from the United Nations and gave it to Batman. The Justice Armor was thus completed, and the Justice League also obtained Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Captain Rick. , Deadshot and other non-staff forces.
When the time comes for the ultimatum, Steppenwolf attacks Earth.
Humanity also launched a counterattack, but its power was limited and could only be used as an auxiliary to fight against Steppenwolf's demon-like army.
Justice League and Super Staff Team Launched.
The decisive battle begins.
The magnificent battle scene that lasted for more than 20 minutes made everyone in the Holy Civic Auditorium scream in surprise.
Superman lived up to expectations. At the critical moment when Steppenwolf almost killed Batman, he suddenly appeared and became the final force to turn the tide of the battle. In the end, the Justice League team pushed Steppenwolf's army back into outer space and completely destroyed Steppenwolf's alien fleet.
Justice once again defeated evil and successfully saved the world.
