Trivia

 * Flash names the Justice League. In the New 52, he originally suggested the name "The Super Seven".
 * The story is a combination of the New 52 origin, the Justice League animated series, and original story.
 * In original drafts of the film, Zatanna and/or Firestorm were meant to appear as members of the Justice League. The Anti-Life Equation was either to be in possession of Zatanna in the Tower of Fate or within the Firestorm Matrix. However, both characters were written out of the film and the Anti-Life Equation is never actually found until Justice League: Apocalypse Part One.
 * The post-credits scene teases Justice League: Graves and Cyborg.
 * Louis Leterrier was considered to direct the film.
 * Ving Rhames was originally supposed to play Darkseid.
 * This is the final film in Phase 1 of the DCTU.
