Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around an apolitical alien invasion, and its narrative champions universal themes of unity, hope, and individual heroism against an external, tyrannical threat, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting choices, specifically by recasting traditionally white comic book roles with minority actors. However, its narrative focuses on a traditional superhero conflict without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Wonder Woman, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, including terrorists and Parademons. Additionally, the Amazon warriors demonstrate skill in defeating male-coded Parademons in direct combat.
Aquaman, a character canonically and widely established as white in DC Comics, is portrayed by Jason Momoa, an actor of Native Hawaiian and other descents, constituting a race swap.
The film employs strong Christ-like allegories for Superman, particularly concerning his death and resurrection. His return is framed as a source of hope and salvation for humanity, aligning the narrative with themes of sacrifice and redemption often associated with Christian narratives.
Justice League does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the superhero team's formation and their conflict with Steppenwolf, without incorporating queer identities or experiences into its plot or character development.
The film features established DC Comics characters and mythological figures. All major characters, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg, maintain their canonically established genders from the source material. No instances of gender swapping for significant characters were identified.
