Will Superman Sport A New Look For Justice League?

Mullets are big in the afterlife...

If you've been paying attention to the set visit information that hit the net not so long ago about Justice League, you will have noticed a few things. Firstly, Warner Bros are getting big name journalists on side early, secondly Zack Snyder has backtracked on tone and finally, Henry Cavill was nowhere to be seen.

That last one obviously makes a lot of sense: he's "dead" after all. But then, thank to the BvS stinger, we know he's still alive, and we know he's not going to be in the ground very long. The question now is just how he comes back, and what he says to everyone in his life as Clark Kent about coming back.

As to whether we'll see it in the early stages Justice League, Zack Snyder was curiously coy while talking to the press at the set visit event (as per Comic Book Resources' transcript):

"I guess that's part of the story. If he does appear, I think that that would be a big part of the story, right?"

He was also asked about his hair when he returns - in reference to the 1950s version of the character returning from the dead sporting a mullet:

"[His hair] should be perfect. A little longer, I guess! That's what the myths are anyway."

Getting the important details in there early.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Snyder talked about the change of tone, as well as basically suggesting that Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor will escape from prison ("Prisons in the comic book world are pretty porous places, you know? ")

None of this solves how he managed to elude death, but that will presumably be the big secret of the film. Until it's spoiled in one of the trailers needlessly.
