Split image of Nathan Fillion and Justice League International
Summary Recent set photos of Superman have appeared online and suggest a Justice League International connection between several of the DCU heroes. With Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, and Guy Gardner among the cast Superman actors, and with various images suggesting a connection between their team and the villainous Maxwell Lord, it appears that the Justice League International is set to be an existing and essential part of the DC Universe at the beginning of Superman.
Lord initially assembled the Justice League International from less villainous beginnings. While a crooked path for the character is likely ahead, akin to how he was realized when played by Pedro Pascal in Wonder Woman 1984, it is unclear exactly what his character will stand for in the DCU. He may be an entrepreneur with a misguided belief in the corporatizing of heroes, or he may be villainous from the start.
With so many previous live-action versions of Batman existing, and with Robert Pattinson currently playing the role outside the DCU, it appears that the hero is not yet a pressing DCU priority. With the inclusion of Damian Wayne in The Brave and The Bold, attaching Bruce Wayne to a team other than the Bat Family itself seems unlikely for the impending future, although he may join the JLI later or could be a former member of the team.

Here’s everything you need to know about Hawkgirl’s confusing DC Comics backstory. 6 Cast: Green Lantern Played By Nathan Fillion In Superman Close The DCU is set to feature several Green Lanterns in the upcoming HBO series Lanterns; however, the introduction to that world will be made with Nathan Fillion's appearance as Guy Gardner in Superman. A less well-known Lantern, the hero was a founding member of the Justice League International. In recent set photos released from the film's production, Gardner appears to be a member of the JLI in the DCU as well.
With only half of the first chapter revealed for the DCU, introducing various additional heroes is likely in the projects ahead. A younger character version with strong ties to JLI would easily differentiate them from the DCEU iteration. Doctor Fate could introduce the spiritual side of the DC Universe, and many excellent stories could grow naturally out of that. In addition, the character's design is unique and appealing and would look fabulous if realized well in the DCU.

After his film Blue Beetle bombed at the box office, however, it has been unclear exactly how much the hero will be integrated into the universe. The Blue Beetle that was a member of the JLI in the comics has traditionally been the Ted Kord iteration of the character; however, integrating Jaime in the team makes more sense for the DCU.
