10 DCEU Fan Theories You Need To Hear
3. Steppenwolf Has Kidnapped Superman
When the dirt atop of the Man of Steel's coffin started to levitate at the end of Batman v Superman, that was him coming back from the dead, right? Not according to this compelling theory.
One fan claims the shifting earth is actually Steppenwolf robbing Supes' grave via a Boom Tube, portals in the DC Universe which allow characters to travel interdimensionally.
There's some sense in this. If Superman was alive in that coffin come the end of Dawn of Justice, shouldn't he have been at large in Suicide Squad, which took place after? This suggests something else was behind the levitating soil.
If this theory is accurate, much of Justice League's plot could centre around this event, with Steppenwolf possibly reviving Kal-El as his super-powered thrall and Batman and his comrades battling to reverse the Apokoliptian's corruption.
There are countless theories about how Justice League will bring Superman back to the fold, and this is one of the stronger ones out there in cyberspace.
