Scary Bat
Most of this speculation comes from 'The Line' Trailer for IGAU and bits of the tie-in comic book... so spoilers I guess (well not really).
Okay so in The Line we see that many of our heroes have alternate costumes, there is a lovely thread in this forum that has pics for a lot of them. To quickly list a few Nightwing/Bloodwing, Wonder Woman/Battle Armor, Deathstroke/Unmasked, Harley/Blonde etc.
Now from the comic book tie-in and trailer we can infer that this a timeline/universe where Superman (justifiably) kind of lost it and crossed the line (see what I did there?). So we all know where this is going, Superman and a few of the other metas sort of become defacto overlords of mankind, allegedly for their own benefit.
So, the alternate costumes that appear in the story-related parts of the trailers suggest one of two settings for me.
1. Alternate universe: Fairly unlikely as they probably would have mentioned it by now if it was a story element. Regular and Alt. costumes are for our heroes in the universe where everything is what we expect it to be and the Injustice universe. It could sort of make sense, I mean in some cutscenes it seems like regular old Aquaman standing up for what's right and in other he has an evil goatee (more of a soul patch really) and seems to be waging war.
2. The story takes place over a long period of time/maybe flashbacks. Basically normal costumes are for when everything was alright and then darler/edgier costumes are for when it's all gone to hell. Harley could be blonde in the future because the original Harley was killed by Superman, Lex has a sort of silver, shinier armor because he wants to look more like a hero in the future? Ah I don't know, this one is more likely though.
Also it seems like team Batman vs. Superman, but also metas vs. non-metas (except for maybe Aquaman). It looks like Flash, Wonder Woman and Shazam all sign up for team Superman and Deathstroke, Harley and maybe Lex go with Batman.
No idea how the hell the Joker is going to fit in.
