10 Comic Book Movie Rumours We Hope Are Bullsh*t
5. Superman Turns Evil - Justice League
The DCU has really given Superman a makeover compared to his previous movies; he’s no longer the good-natured Boy Scout Christopher Reeve portrayed, but a brooding hero unsure of his place within his adopted world. He even had to break a dude’s neck, so he’s got some grit under his fingernails.
While he apparently died at the hands of Doomsday in Dawn Of Justice, he was hardly going to stay that way with a Justice League movie on the horizon. There’s endless speculation on how he’ll figure into the plot, with a popular one being that he’s resurrected by Steppenwolf and made to fight the rest of the group.
That would certainly give the fight a personal touch, but with both DC and Zack Snyder claiming the new movie is about hope – especially after the darkness of the previous movie – it would feel gimmicky to have him turn evil for the sake of a cool fight.
