“The Strongest Man Is Stronger Alone”
Luckily for the world, Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince are on hand to head up a band of heroes to go against the alien invaders. The only trouble is that they have to convince the likes of Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg to risk it all for the sake of humanity.
“We’re asking people we don’t know to risk their lives,” Diana warns Bruce, over some awesome shots highlighting each of the characters. There’s the legendary image of Batman standing on a rooftop with the Batsignal in the sky, as the Batwing arrives to pick him up. There’s Aquaman down in the deep. Diana standing on a statue of Lady Justice. Victor Stone showing off his tech at home. And, finally, the Flash cracking a cheeky smile.
As with the other trailers, Aquaman proves himself the most difficult to coax into joining the team. “The strongest man is stronger alone,” Arthur Curry tells Bruce as he retreats back into the water. “You ever heard that?” Bruce then sarcastically responds: “That’s not the saying. That’s the opposite of what the saying is!”
It might just be us, but this sounds very much like a Joss Whedon dialogue exchange. It’s a testament to how seamlessly the new stuff matches with Snyder’s footage that we aren’t sure, though. This is yet more evidence that Whedon did not totally change the film and continued Snyder’s vision, after all.
