10 Justice League Surprises That Could Totally Happen

9. Superman Comes Back Evil

Okay, so this may not be much of a surprise to anyone who's read the extensive posts about it on fan sites and social media, but let's examine the evidence.

The theory goes that Kal-El will return from the dead and join the forces of evil, coming back to the land of the living more Bizzaro than Superman.

His absence in the Justice League trailers is being cited as evidence supporting this school of thought, with Zack Snyder and his directorial successor Joss Whedon determined to keep him hidden to avoid a spoilerific reveal.

It seems more feasible that Warner Bros will use Justice League as a vehicle to remake Krypton's last son in his traditional comic book form after his joyless depiction in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice divided fans.

Expect to see him full of light and hope in Justice League, but if there's enough runtime to dedicate to the character's arc, he could go dark for a while.

This might just explain why The Flash told Bruce Wayne that Lois Lane is "the key" during that Dawn of Justice flashback. Is she the key to reminding evil Superman who he once was and turning the tide of battle?
