Ok so we all have our guesses on what the ride will be. Personally I believe it was to be Suicide Squad. But as the movie was not well reviewed and with the incident at Dreamworld, Suicide Squad as the theme is in very poor taste. Plus the park already has 2 villian themed rides, we don't need another.
WHO IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
Wonder Woman would have been the smartest choice if the ride had burgundy red supports and a yellow track.
This way all major players in the Justice League would have their own rides and the skyline would compliment this Justice league handsomely. the ride is schedule to open in September. This is between her solo movie and the Justice league film. She is the most exposed DC character this year and therefore the easiest to market.
Plus with the rumoured loop the ride is getting, this would have looked amazing as her lasso of truth.
WHO IT MIGHT BE.
Honourable mentions do go to:
The Joker: Although popular, he is featured heavily on other rides and Shock Therapy is basically his ride. The supports would also need to be green (unless the train will be).
Bizarro: Would be smart to rival Superman Escape with a worthy opponent. But he is not mainstream enough and magenta is not the right purple for him. As we haven't seen Superman in the Justice League trailer, Bizarro could make an appearance and authenticate this theming.
These two characters have a number of rides around the world based on them and this could be a move by Village Roadshow to bring Movie World into line with the larger parks that have DC theming components.
WHO I THINK IT WILL BE.
But the character I believe who is one of the most deserving characters to herald the new ride is....Catwoman.
1. At the moment the current costume they use in the park is from the Arkham video games seen below.

The coaster matches her, with the grey suit (supports) and magenta goggles (track) it's a perfect fit.
2. She is the only DC character in the Star Parade that does not have a ride based on them.
3. She remains to this day one of the more popular DC characters, having had 2 successful portrayals in film. And in The Dark Knight Trilogy she ended up helping Batman and saving Gotham, giving her a hero status.
4. With the rumoured Gotham City Sirens movie to feature a 3rd incarnation of the character she will again be proven popular and the longevity of the theming will be in tack.
The only problem is see with the theming being Catwoman is the sexism and feminism complaints of having Movie World biggest ride being centred around a female.
An idea for the theming could be you are Catwoman and have just robbed a jewellery store. So you need to escape. This works perfectly with the ride leaving the park acting like she is escaping. OR you could be batman trying to catch her and bring her back to the store/ police station.
Keen to hear thoughts.
