Batman V Superman: 10 Huge Questions We Can’t Wait To Have Answered

9. What Is Doomsday?

While we don€™t have to speculate about which final villain Superman will face, simply knowing it€™s going to be Doomsday doesn€™t exactly provide all the answers. The prevailing thought is that that Lex Luthor somehow creates him. Zod€™s corpse has been shown in his possession and it€™s believed that Lex is attempting to investigate it to find a means of stopping Superman. From there, it€™s possible that he activates some sort of failsafe in Zod€™s DNA that transforms him into the monster. Conversely, it€™s possible that Lex uses what he€™s learned and genetically engineers Doomsday as a living weapon. Comic readers, however will be familiar with Doomsday as an ancient Kryptonian monster that was exiled to the Phantom Zone to keep him away. It€™s unclear, however, if that will prove true in this film. It€™s certainly possible that he followed Zod out during Man Of Steel and just hadn€™t made it to Earth yet. So is he a mutated human, Zod's animated corpse, a test-tube monster or a rampaging alien? We know he€™s going to be a nearly unstoppable force that may go as far as €˜killing€™ Superman, we just don€™t know how he€™s going to get there.
