New JUSTICE LEAGUE Scene Descriptions Feature Commissioner Gordon And A Clueless Flash
New scene descriptions from Zack Snyder's Justice League feature a rooftop meeting between the League and Commissioner Gordon, and a hilarious first meeting between Barry Allen and Bruce Wayne.
Justice League set reports have been popping up all over the place today, and it could be difficult to keep track of all the amazing new information. Amongst all the news today, there are some new scene descriptions that will tide you over until Comic-Con. Thanks to Collider's very own Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub, we have the very first Justice League scene descriptions, and they sounds like a comic book come to life.
The scene is a rooftop meeting that features Commissioner Gordon (J.K. Simmons) having a conversation with Batman (Ben Affleck), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). Apparently, the head of S.T.A.R. Labs has gone missing and it's up to the Justice League to figure out why. Although the scene may sound serious at first, it's Ezra Miller's Flash that provides a comedic element during an iconic Gordon/Batman moment.
Another description offers up the first meeting between Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen, which is chock-full of comedic moments that will surely keep the critics from saying the film is too dark. The scene features Barry Allen making his way back home and finding Bruce Wayne sitting in a chair, which then leads to them exchanging some humorous and witty dialogue, and eventually figuring out each other's superhero identities.
FIRST SCENE:
"Standing on the dirty Gotham Police Station rooftop is Commissioner Gordon wearing a hat, tie, glasses and a long trench coat. He’s standing next to the Bat symbol and talking to Batman, Flash and Wonder Woman as smoke billows from nearby vents. As the camera slowly zooms in, I’m listening to the four of them talk about scientists disappearing. While it’s hard to figure out why they’re talking about missing scientists, it’s very much a comic book panel come to life with the way everyone is standing and framed to the camera. I’m smiling wide from ear to ear.
As I try and hear more of what they’re saying, all of a sudden Cyborg is walking across the rooftop towards our heroes saying that the head of S.T.A.R. Labs has been taken. As he gets closer he stands next to Wonder Woman and I watch as a huge smile appear on her face before turning back to the rest of the group. It seems like she’s extremely happy he’s joined them. I silently wonder if this is the first time all of these heroes have been together. As the group discusses the situation, they decide they’ll need to go somewhere to investigate. As Gordon continues to talk he turns and everyone is gone but the Flash. It’s like he didn’t get the memo that when Gordon turns to talk you need to quickly disappear. Flash says to Gordon, “Do they just do that?” Gordon says nothing as Flash speeds off. It’s funny to watch and I quickly realize the Justice League movie is going to be a lot more fun than I was expecting."
SECOND SCENE:
"Towards the end of the day Snyder showed us an edited scene from Justice League without finished effects. The scene showed Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) arriving at his apartment only to find Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) sitting in his second favorite chair. Bruce is telling Barry that he knows he’s special but doesn’t know how and Barry is trying to deflect everything being said with humor and well-written dialogue. Finally, Bruce has had enough and throws a Batarang at Barry who proceeds to slow down time using his super speed and catches the weapon. As he examines the weapon it dawns on him that Bruce is Batman. As he enters real time Bruce says, “so you’re fast.” Barry then says “so you’re Batman?” Bruce explains he’s putting together a group to battle what’s coming. Before he’s even four seconds into his pitch as to why Barry should join him Barry says, “I’m in.” Bruce is shocked and proceeds to smile, extremely surprised at what just happened. Barry then tells him “I need friends. Can I keep this?” As the scene ended all the reporters in the room were laughing. "
