The Flash actor Ezra Miller says the tone of the upcoming Justice League was always meant to be lighter in nature.
Conventional thinking would suggest the film is lighter in tone because it matches the sensibilities Whedon brought to The Avengers, but clearly it was part of Snyder’s plan all along for a lighter shift in tone from BvS to Justice League.
And while the Justice League will still be feeling the loss of Superman when this fall’s movie begins, the tone of the film will apparently much lighter than BvS.
Zack always intended for the Justice League to rise out of the darkness, and maybe even bring Batman with them.
