As for the Pop! figures, they all seem to look pretty spot-on based on the footage and posters we’ve seem thus far, save for the adorably deformed faces and oversized heads.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater enemy in “Justice League.” 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.

The image, which appeared via Marvel Japan’s Twitter feed, looks to be an advertisement for one of the new “Spider-Man: Homecoming” Funko Pop! figures that debuted at last month’s New York Toy Fair, which can be seen on the right-hand side of the image. On the left, though, is Spidey, himself, casually swinging around the Big Apple, with the New York City skyline glimmering off in the distance.

Written by Steve Korte, the novel is only a small part of the growing avalanche of merchandise for director Patty Jenkins’ film. Within the past two weeks, we’ve also gotten our first look at toy lines from the likes of Mattel and Funko.

Here is the synopsis of the novel, which is available for preorder:

Wonder Woman, DC Comics’ greatest heroine, comes to the big screen on June 2, 2017, for the first major motion picture in her 75-year history! The all-star cast includes Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, and more.

To the outside world, Diana Prince is just a regular woman. But that’s not who she truly is. Diana is an Amazon princess from the island of Themyscira. She is also Wonder Woman. From a secret hidden island to the frontlines of battle, Diana is ready for the role of a lifetime—to become the hero the world needs most.

Based on the major motion picture, this hardcover edition of Wonder Woman: The Junior Novel retells the exciting story of Diana’s journey to become one of the world’s greatest heroes and features eight pages of full-color images from the film.

Opening June 2, “Wonder Woman” tells the story of the Amazon princess who, after discovering the body of American fighter pilot Steve Trevor washed ashore washed ashore on Themyscira, sets out to bring an early end to World War I. The film stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Lucy Davis, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner, Saïd Taghmaoui and David Thewlis.
