Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) search the globe for metahumans to get ready for a fight from an “enemy coming from far away.”

Bruce Wayne recruits Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Barry Allen/The Flash (Ezra Miller) and we see the before and after of Victor Stone/Cyborg.

We get a look into the past and the idea that Mother Boxes (technology seen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) are buried across Earth. Those alien computers are the signal that a powerhouse villain is approaching.

Action, mystery, icons, humor and fun.

As we celebrate Black History Month we’re inspired to salute African-American superheroes and update fans on their status in their comic book universes.

With Anthony Mackie’s breakout performance as Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Chadwick Boseman (42) cast as Black Panther and the return of Milestone Media with new and returning heroes – a lot has happened in a year.

Fictional superheroes are not as critical as real civil rights leaders, scientists, boundary breaking athletes and artists but it’s important to celebrate diversity in comic books. Most of these black characters were created by white males but we hope by recognizing these characters it might inspire new writers, artists and editors of all backgrounds to push for new voices and greater diversity in making comics and inside comics.
