Justice League: Meet the new superheroes who join Batman and Wonder Woman to fight evil forces

There are rookie superheroes joining the veterans in Justice League. Touted as DC Universe's big release of 2018, the film has not one or two but six superheroes fighting for world peace.

Batman, Wonder Woman will turn mentor of sorts to Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash in Zack Snyder's film. And before you head to theaters to watch Batman and Superman fight out a bunch of evil forces along with their new friends, here is a quick background on the three superheroes.

Aquaman
In actor Jason Mamoa's(who plays the superhero in the film) own words, Aquaman is a 'loner' who only jumps into action when he realizes his mother's world is under threat. The son of a man and an Atlantean queen, Aquaman is not very sure about what he should be doing with his superpowers initially. A 'reluctant hero' he despises both the surface world and the undersea one until Batman instills a bit of hope in him.

Cyborg
Cyborg's alter ego Victor Stone is Gotham University's star quarterback player. But a freak accident turned him half man-half robot. His body is a weaponized android body and his superpowers evolve over the course of the film. ""It was really fun just being able to put in some of the work on the physical side of things: just mapping out how he moves, so when he’s unable to control his cannon in one of the scenes, figuring out what that looks like so it’s not just me up their pop-locking,” says actor Ray Fisher who plays the part in the film.

The Flash
A college kid- with a heavy heart and a somewhat troubled past, Flash reminds Bruce of his younger self. Struck by lightning, Flash is the fastest man alive and he is on a mission to prove his father's innocence who has been accused of murdering his mother. Ezra Miller who plays the superhero on the big screen says, “There’s nothing interesting about a perfect superhero,” Miller says. “Stories about greatness are best rooted in the mundane, in the weaknesses that dwell beneath that greatness.”

Starring Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Jason Mamoa, Ray Fisher and Ezra Miller- Justice League is scheduled to release on 17th November in India.
