The movie seems to have steered away from the dark tones of its predecessors 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman V Superman'

Warner Bros was booked for over 2 hours at the coveted Hall H venue at San Diego Comic-Con this year. They had a lot of irons in the fire, but there was no talk of anyone from their most talked about ensemble film, Justice League, coming to the convention, let alone debuting footage from the film.
But proving the rumours true, the studio debuted one hell of a footage from the under-production Justice League Party 1 at the Comic-Con!
We've been teased about the production via social media accounts of the stars and the crew shooting for the next installment of the DC Universe after Batman v Superman. This time, we get to see new superheroes, oops metahumans, Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg.
Batman is building a league of these warriors with special abilities to fight something way nastier than Doomsday. Let's assume Lex Luther at the moment because after BVS, he is still in jail.
Batman/Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) already has Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) by his side, helping him find these metahumans. Batman finds Aquaman/Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa or Khal Drogo, as you know him from Game of Thrones) in a small town by the seaside, already a revered figure helping the villagers. There is a lot of resistance at first, but we know the rest from the comic books.
Next up is Flash/Barry Allen (Ezra Miller). The fastest man on earth is a cheeky smartass, loves technology and agrees to be part of Batman's initiative in a heartbeat because he has no friends.Daww!
The footage does not reveal how Batman finds Cyborg (Ray Fisher) but he too has a fair share in the entertaining, popcorn-ish conversation with Batman.
Superman/Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) is a no show in the trailer but he does make an appearance in the first look photo of the League.

From the look of the footage, one can tell that the movie follows the current trends of a darker palette when it comes to cinematography. But it seems that Zack Snyder is doing away with dark, gloomy tone of the BVS. If this is the effect of Ben Affleck coming on board to help with the script, it's a welcome change I'd say.
The movie is expected to hit theatres on November 17, 2017.
