“Justice League” gives closer look at villain

With Warner Bros.' Justice League less than a month from release, more details about the DC superhero team movie are slowly emerging, and the movie's villain, Steppenwolf, finally shows up onscreen for more than two seconds, Hollywood Reporter says.

The villain makes his proper debut at the opening of the movie's new Chinese trailer, where it turns out that he's really not into the idea of showing mercy to anyone because they have a family. That might be an entirely appropriate response, perhaps, given that his comic book incarnation is traditionally the uncle of arch-villain Darkseid.

The trailer also reveals more snarky dialogue between Aquaman and Batman, and suggests that there may be more Alfred Pennyworth (played by Jeremy Irons) in the movie than was expected.

The Justice League soundtrack will be released digitally November 10, with the movie following a week later.
