14 Things That Would Have Happened After 2017 Movies Ended

2. Clark Kent Unconvincingly Explains His Survival - Justice League

A major complication of Superman (Henry Cavill) returning from the dead in Justice League is that it requires Clark to explain to his colleagues how he's still alive after he apparently died at the end of Batman v Superman, and a funeral was held for him.

This is never explained in Justice League and is deemed an agonising, daft plot hole by many fans. Will it ever be explained? Perhaps, but at present, fans are left to assume that Clark had an incredibly awkward conversation with Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) and now gets weird looks from everyone in the news room.

As for how nobody in a room full of reporters has figured out he's Superman despite them both dying and being reborn on the same day, that's a tougher nut to crack.
