Based on the set visit articles around, one can already glean some of the potential comic book influences here...

- Superman is obviously set to return with some saying that he'll be back with longer hair. This is true to the Return of Superman comic
- The reported scene with Commissioner Gordon indicates that the Parademons are kidnapping people. This is similar to Justice League Origin, though in here, they are kidnapping scientists.
- The villain is Steppenwolf, who recently was the main villain of the New 52's Earth Two storyline, where he actually did succeed in taking out the Justice League.
- Batman's aircraft (think the helicarrier in the Avengers films) is called the Flying Fox. In the comics, the Flying Fox was the costumed persona that young Bruce Wayne took on when he lived in Smallville and helped Superboy fight crime.
- Barry Allen/Flash refers to himself as Jewish. This is actually true to the comic Christmas With the Superheroes where Green Lantern wishes Barry a Happy Hannukah

That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...
