We certainly didn't have long to wait before Warner Bros. paired off two of their biggest heroes in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE earlier this year, but the upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE will throw even more heroes into the mix including Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and The Flash (Ezra Miller). DCEU's big team-up will present these heroes working together to face a common threat (Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf) all while forging new relationships. According to Ezra Miller when he spoke with IGN, the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen will come with a touch of buddy comedy.

I think it's the relationship between someone who is naive and excited and someone who is experienced and jaded, and it's that seeing each other as reflections of one another and being amused, and maybe sometimes annoyed, by one another. I think Bruce and Barry get a kick out of each other because they're seeing themselves but reflected in this very warped mirror, you know? Bruce, the aged Batman, is everything that being a superhero means you could become, in terms of being, like, pretty shut down and having seen all this horror. He's like a veteran of this struggle against evil. And Barry is just getting into it, and it seems exciting! And very fun! And so, I think they have a lot to learn from each other, like in any great friendship. I think it's a fascinating relationship.

We witnessed the first meeting between Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen in the JUSTICE LEAGUE teaser from San Diego Comic-Con, so we've already got a good idea how the quirky Allen and the stoic Wayne will bounce off one another. Speaking of Gotham's Dark Knight, Joe Manganiello (who is set to play Deathstroke in both JUSTICE LEAGUE and THE BATMAN) recently teased what Ben Affleck has planned for his standalone Batman flick by saying that it will be going down "a road that no one's really gone before."

JUSTICE LEAGUE will hit theaters on November 17, 2017.
