MANILA, Philippines – Dismal reviews haven’t stopped people from flocking to the theaters to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, Warner Bros has released a deleted scene that hints at future storylines – especially for the upcoming Justice League movie.
Spoiler alert!
In the scene, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) is wading in murky, gooey liquid inside a Kryptonian ship.
His gaze is fixed on a hologram taking the form of a sinister, xenomorph-esque creature which many observers believe is Steppenwolf, one of the military leaders under the iconic DC Comics supervillain, Darkseid.
Darkseid, is a tyrannical, fascist figure who rules the planet Apokolips. His goal? Obliterate free will from all sentient beings in the universe.
The figure is clasping three cubes, which appear to be Mother Boxes – objects with several wondrous properties – supercomputers of sorts. Suffice it to say that if they are put in the wrong hands, this spells doom.
“They can be a force for good or for evil, depending on the lucky individual they imprint upon,” Entertainment Weekly points out.
Other theories, meanwhile, support the idea that instead of Steppenwolf, the figure could be Yuga Khan, Darkseid’s father, or other sinister characters in the DC canon.
Several commentators also say that this could be a set up for the future Justice League film.
Polygon notes that Lex Luthor “also hints toward the existence of Darkseid” toward the end of the film. In one scene, he flips the painting in his father’s study to have the demons “hurtling toward the Earth instead of coming up through the depths of hell.”
