Batman V Superman: 9 Things Nobody Predicted

**8. How The Other Heroes Appeared**

Now whilst Zack Snyder can make as many requests as he wants when it pertains to not spoiling the movie for others, it was Warner Brothers and the director himself who had regularly talked about how Batman v Superman was to feature more heroes than just our titular twosome.

Way before the films release, we all knew that Jason Momoas Aquaman, Ezra Millers Flash, and Ray Fishers Cyborg would be a part of the movie in some form, although the appearance of these heroes was delivered in a way that very few saw coming.

Whilst Barry Allen did also get to pull double-duty and appear earlier to send a message to Ben Afflecks Dark Knight, other than that the appearance of these future Justice Leaguers was restricted to some surveillance footage put together by Lex Luthor and nabbed by Batman and Wonder Woman.

Beforehand, we all thought that Momoas Aquaman was to somehow be in a scene with Viola Davis Amanda Waller, that Millers Flash may be simply shown as a red blur, and that Fishers Cyborg would merely be plain ol Victor Stone in his pre-Cyborg days. How wrong we all were.
