20 Moments That Will Define Upcoming DC Movies

9. Iconic DC Villains Show Up

The Moment: At least one or two famed DC villains make appearances. While it's already known that Killer Croc, King Shark, Plastique and Slipknot will be appearing in Suicide Squad, it wouldn't be surprising if Lex Luthor unleashes Brainiac, Darkseid or Doomsday as the final villain in Batman v Superman, which acts as the catalyst that forces the two superheroes to work together. When It Will Happen: Batman v Superman should see something other than Luther show up, and failing that, Suicide Squad has it covered, while Justice League will likely deal with at least a few major villains from Bats' and Supes' back catalogue. Why It Will Define The Movie(s): Because there are so many great villains who haven't had the big-budget treatment, and there seems like so much ample opportunity here to give fans what they've been desperate to see for so long. If Warner nail these villains, they've got a merchandising dream on their hands, but more importantly, it'll give them a steep leg-up over Marvel, whose cachet of villains to date has been relatively weak and underwhelming (especially Malekith and Ronan).
