When the final trailer for Zack Snyders Justice Leaguelaunched on Sunday, there was so much zipping around that one could be forgiven for having a bit of a delayed reaction. From Henry Cavills grunting Superman to a clear look at the tyrannical ruler of Apokolips, Darkseid, Zack Snyders images can overwhelm the senses. Dialogue sometimes takes a back seat. But listen closely at the very end, when we hear a voice (later to be revealed as Jared Letos Joker) speaking to Ben Afflecks Batman. T...
