A new teaser for Zack Snyder's Justice League shines the Bat-signal on Ben Affleck's Batman.The clip begins with a shot of Batman standing atop a gargoyle as lightning strikes and rain cascades down toward the camera. We're then given voiceovers from the likes of Cyborg, Alfred, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, Lex Luthor and The Joker. Perhaps most notable, though, is the baritone voice of Harry Lennix's Calvin Swanwick, who's been confirmed to actually be Martian Manhunter. "I have a stake in this world, and it's time I started fighting for it," he says. Meanwhile, we're treated to new shots of Batman's armored tank and Superman, black suit and all, helping the Dark Knight to his feet.
"If you notice the way he's manipulated both Lois and Clark to do their best, to be the best they can be, because in this incarnation he wants humanity to do it themselves and/or this new hero in Superman. I think that that's kind of the way I see it – that they have the same voice," Snyder said of Swanwick.
J'onn J'onzz is expected to debut his alien form in Zack Snyder's Justice League when it premieres on HBO Max. His full look has been kept under wraps, with even Lennix saying he has no idea what his character actually looks like. However, Justice League comic variant covers gave readers a sneak peek of what to expect when the film arrives.
In Zack Snyder's Justice League, determined to ensure Superman’s ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions.

Now united, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.
