In honor of the new Justice League movie that is due out in November, I have decided to make the rest of the characters that will appear in that movie. So far, I have made Batman and the Flash for my sons as those are their favorite superheroes, but now I introduce to you, Superman. Next up will be Wonder Woman, as her movie is due out in just a couple days. Following that, Aquaman and Cyborg will make their debut, so I encourage to subscribe to my blog so that you can be alerted when those patterns become available. Hope you enjoy my take on these characters!
