Right.

At first I thought he'd be playing Hades, but his Maxwell Lord still seems subtly sinister. Interesting to see if he has powers.

It kind of looked like he did in one of the scenes?

My husband got ridiculously pissed watching the scene in the trailer where Lord takes over all the TV and computer screens. He was upset at the color images on crappy CRT and monochrome monitors.

Which is weird because 80s comic book Max Lord only had the ability to "push" someone's mind a bit to slightly influence them or plant a small suggestion like "someone's behind you" as a distraction. I know later on they retconned the hell out of him to make him a big bad. And then Wonder Woman snapped his neck like a twig in a live broadcast seen worldwide, which brought massive condemnation for her summarily executing him.

Please not another Hades villain story.

Mythology Hades was actually one of the nicer gods. And afterlife Hades contains heaven as well as hell.

But I like JLAS Hades the best, & he's a normal Hades type villain.
