6. Zod Has Flipper Hands
It was amazing to see how fast this one travelled, and equally fun to see it unravel a week and a half later. While doing some press for 99 Homes, Michael Shannon 'revealed' to
Vulture that his costume for Batman v Superman has wax flippers on his fingers, which rendered him unable to open a porta potty door. "Because in the sequel I have flippers instead of hands." And the Internet went crazy. People were throwing out all kinds of theories as to how Zod (or Doomsday?) might end up with flipper hands. But then Shannon shattered those crazy dreams a little under two weeks later. In another interview, this time with
The Daily Beast, he retracted the story and expressed his amazement at how it went viral. "That is so obviously a complete bullsh*t story, right?" Right.
