The Justice League, born in a DC comic book published in 1960, is a fictional superhero team which comprises Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg, and it has inspired a number of comic books, TV shows and animated productions.
The Justice League was initiated by Batman and Wonder Woman, but in the movie Superman seems to be much more powerful than his peers and rivals.
So, after watching the 120-minute feature in a local theater, I have been haunted by one question: If superman is so powerful and no one can rival him, how will the story develop?
The Justice League was conceived by American writer Gardner Fox and first appeared as a team in The Brave and the Bold series in March, 1960.
As an assemblage of superheroes, the Justice League has seven founding members: Superman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Batman and Wonder Woman.
Through the years, the team has expanded, with more DC heroes, such as Atom, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Plastic Man, Stargirl and Shazam.
而创作“正义联盟”的加德纳•福克斯既是一个超级漫画迷，也是一个超级勤奋的写作者。
他11岁生日那年，收到的生日礼物，是美国作家埃德加•赖斯•巴勒斯（Edgar Rice Burroughs）的两本书《火星之神》（The Gods of Mars，初版于1914年）和《火星军阀》（The Warlord of Mars，初版于1918年）。
A diehard fan of comic books, Fox fell in love with these characters at an early age.
On his 11th birthday, he received US author Edgar Rice Burroughs's: The Gods of Mars (1914) and The Warlord of Mars (1918).
这两本书为他“打开了另一个世界（opened up a complete new world for me）”。从此后，他爱上了漫画，读完了所有他能收罗来的巴勒斯的漫画小说。而且，这哥们基本就是个“人肉图书扫描仪”。
因为太爱看书了，他说“（获得）知识就是我的一个爱好（Knowledge is kind of a hobby with me）。”
所以，在他的漫画里，涉及到许多现实历史、科学和神话学的背景知识（real-world historical, scientific, and mythological references），也为他的漫画作品增添了深度和维度。
For most DC fans and movie industry watchers, the movie is a late reply to Marvel, probably DC's biggest rival in the comics-adapted superhero movies genre.
Marvel, the publisher of Iron Man, Captain America and Hulk comics, released its first movie, Iron Man, in 2008. And with The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2014) and a series of stand-alone movies and franchises, it has established a well-known cinematic universe for its heroes.
Now, with the latest Marvel superhero movie Thor: Ragnarok, which was released in China and the United States simultaneously on Nov 3, Marvel has 17 such movies.
The DC comic series of Justice League's early success was indirectly responsible for the creation of the Fantastic Four.
This was because when Marvel-Timely owner Martin Goodman heard in 1961 how well DC's then-new book Justice League was selling, he told Stan Leeto come up with a team of superheroes for Marvel.
The result was Fantastic Four #1 by Lee and Jack Kirby, which debuted in November 1961.
The Avengers, a fictional team of superheroes appearing in Marvel Comics books, made its debut in 1963, created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby.
