The DCEU began with a sizzle reel with the words, “Where wonder awaits, where justice prevails, where good battles evil, from Gotham to Atlantis, Metropolis to Apokolips, Krypton to Themyscira and beyond, welcome to the worlds of DC.” That was followed by multiple logos (some of which are clearly place holders) for upcoming films including Shazam, Suicide Squad 2, The Batman, Justice League Dark, Batgirl, Green Lantern Corps (using art from the comics of Hal Jordan and John Stewart), The Flash — followed by a Flashpoint logo (is DC pulling that trigger so soon?), and finally, Wonder Woman II.
Jason Momoa then joined, from the audience — and with trident in hand — to talk Aquaman.
“The king is here,” Momoa proclaimed. experience.”

A message from Wan — filming in Australia currently — was shown, and mix of concept art and comic book illustrations were shown to accompany his words.
A short sequence from the film was then shown with two older men on a fishing boat then discovering Atlantean ships, followed by a shot of the world of Atlantis. Then, Arthur Curry holding a sword, talking to someone not shown and preparing to fight ending with a shot of the logo.
Once the Aquaman segment ended Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Ezra Miller (The Flash) dressed as Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist and Ray Fisher (Cyborg) joined Momoa on stage to talk Justice League, to a cover version of “Come Together.”
