New ‘Justice League’ Poster Shows Heroes Filling In Gap Left By Superman

Superman may be gone at the beginning of Justice League (presumably until the end of the movie), but other superheroes are following his example.

Superman has largely been absent from the marketing of Justice League in order to avoid spoiling the circumstances surrounding his eventual, presumed return. But this absence is alluded to in a clever way in a new poster from Fandango, which shows the other members of the Justice League outlining his silhouette.

Fandango has released the following image as an exclusive poster on their website for fans who pre-order their tickets to see Justice League:

I really like that the “silhouette” of Superman is actually a bright light, symbolizing the hope that will return to help save the world in its darkest hour. And that “you can’t save the world alone” tagline has added meaning to it when explicitly paired up with the Man of Steel, as he’ll inevitably return to help the Justice League when they need it the most. But this poster is a clever way of emphasizing Superman’s presence in the film without giving it away.

Justice League unites on November 17, 2017. The superhero epic features a cast that includes Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne (Batman), Henry Cavill as Kal-El/Clark Kent (Superman), Gal Gadot as Diana Prince (Wonder Woman), Jason Momoa as Orin/Arthur Curry (Aquaman), Ezra Miller as Barry Allen (The Flash), Ray Fisher as Victor Stone (Cyborg), Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, Robin Wright as General Antiope, J. K. Simmons as Commissioner James ‘Jim’ Gordon, Joe Morton as Dr. Silas Stone, Amber Heard as Mera, Julian Lewis Jones as King Atlan, Billy Crudup as Dr. Henry Allen, and Kiersey Clemons as Iris West. Michael McElhatton is also in the movie in an unspecified role.
