Wonder Woman is conquering the box office right now, bringing a much-needed surge in buzz around DC Films and the DC Extended Universe. The DCEU is scored its first big win of 2017 with Wonder Woman, but the real test will come this fall when Justice League attempts to bring the entire DCEU superhero lineup together for a massive event film. When breaking down the Justice League movie trailers that have been released, we (like many other fans) noticed a particular scene that stood out from the rest. That scene was of a massive battle taking place on a fiery and desolate patch of land, with The Amazons of Themyscira battling the alien army of Apokolips. It was impossible to tell for sure where the scene fit into the storyline of Justice League - but thanks to the latest casting confirmation for the film, we can now say for sure what Justice League's big Amazon battle sequence is, and where it fits into the story. Read on only if you want to know, as these could be considered MILD SPOILERS!

War of the Gods In DC Comics lore, theology gets a more fantastical spin. Our own Russ Burlingame has already broken it down in detail (see below), so we'll just go over the general gist of it, and how it applies to the DCEU. MORE: Full Story of the Old & New Gods Basically, there was a world of gods that was destroyed, letting loose a wave of energy that seeded every world it touched with gods of their own. One of the worlds was Earth, which saw the rise of Greek gods like Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares. Meanwhile, the descendants of the original "God World" evolved into two camps of "New Gods," inhabiting the warring worlds of New Genesis (the good guys) and Apokolips (the bad guys). In Justice League, the team will battle Steppenwolf, a general who serves under the ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid. However, in comic book icon Jack Kirby's New Gods #1 in the '70s it was shown that the Old Gods had gone to war against the "New Gods" looking to replace them - and the battle scene in Justice League is now all but confirmed to be related to that storyline. prevnext
