Such an original name. Stupified at how this cannot simply be called LEGO Justice League already. Does DC have an aversion to admiting in their titles that there's more than just Batman and Superman in their lineup?

On a more positive tone the trailer made me laugh, and they do seem to be taking some of the best elements which made LEGO Marvel such a hit, including big figures like Killer Croc and Solomon Grundy. Plot appears to be that Brainiac has stolen the power of the various Lantern Corps and is using it to attack and shrink numerous DC planets, so Batman and the Justice League - who have had something of a New 52 update since the last game looking at the costumes - have to unite to defeat him and an alliance of villains, once again headed by Joker and Lex Luthor.

Apparently there's over 150 characters, plus the powers of the Lanterns which can affect your character's abilities. Locations confirmed include the JL Watchtower, the Hall of Justice and the return of the Batcave.
