“I guess you’d call him a super-villain,” Hinds says. “He hails from the planet of Apokolips and he is the general of the Apokoliptian army who has come to take the world. For thousands of years he’s been in search of the Mother Boxes, which are all-powerful entities. He’s in search of all-power, and that’s his journey.

When he chooses to use it, it creates mayhem and it decimated everything around it.”

“Yes – it’s like a transporter, or a super shuttle that goes between universes. It transports people quickly from another place and places them in a certain location,” Hinds says.
More on Steppenwolf:
“He is not a fearful man at all, because he believes he can handle anything. He wishes to create fear – not just that people should be afraid of him, but I think he gets pleasure out of it. If you come from the planet Apokolips we’re all super beings – so Super Heroes are nothing,” Hinds adds.

Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
