10 Justice League Movie Plot Predictions

3. Superman Doesn't Show Up Until The Final 20 Minutes

So, Superman "died" at the end of Batman v Superman but the final shot implied his imminent resurrection.

From the Justice League teaser trailer and set clips we've seen so far, Superman is nowhere to be seen, making it quite clear that he's going to be missing for a major chunk of the movie.

It's an incredibly bold move given the name of the film, but it makes sense and should make his return in the movie's third act all the more impactful.

While it won't quite be a Luke Skywalker-level wait for Supes to show up, he'll still be absent for around two hours of the run-time. He'll turn up to help defeat Steppenwolf, then we'll get a few post-fight character scenes between the League, and that's basically it for the Man of Steel.
