10 DCEU Fan Theories You Need To Hear
6. Sandman's Dream Is Behind Those Knightmares
More than one character experiences prophetic visions in Batman v Superman, so there's clearly something strange going on, and one fans reckons they've pinpointed who is behind it all.
This theory suggests Sandman protagonist Dream is responsible for those Knightmares, which is technically possible since he has the ability to manipulate dreams and reality.
A movie based on Neil Gaiman's seminal comic series has been in the pipeline for a long time and was stuck in development hell the last we heard. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was once attached to direct and star, but the project was left in limbo when he dropped out early last year.
Let's say Hollywood still has ambitions to make Sandman happen one day, the movie could in theory have a tenuous connection to the DCEU via these Knightmares.
This would also tie in with the world of DC Comics, which incorporated Sandman and the Vertigo imprint into its core universe with the New 52 reboot.
