This movie introduces Aquaman to the team as ancient sea demons kill Poseidon (who captured them long ago) and unleash a watery hell on earth. The core members are fighting at their best, and are reaching their peak as the Justice League. But while the world generally loves them, there is a brewing sentiment that the disaster would not have happened if there were no superpowered people. There is also wonder and fear among humans of the newly exposed Kingdom of Atlantis that will be further explored in Aquaman films. This film should precede the WW film with Athena, further justifying her revenge. This film should also precede the first Aquaman film, which should deal with the aftermath of this event. Eventually, Mera will become Atlantis' representative to the surface world and on the JL, to help smooth over tensions when needed. The sea demons gods will wipe Coast City off the map, which will have a direct effect on the Green Lanterns. The flooding will also tie into, later, the "Red and Green" mini-series, as well as one of the Batwoman/Nightwing films. And could serve as a very early pretext for Batman 5 (the one with Freeze/Ivy). So basically, this movie is a way to open up the DC landscape.
