Why Is It Likely? This one's so obvious that it's either a major red herring or a definitive outcome, but either way, the foreshadowing of Lois Lane's death in Batman v Superman was 100 percent intentional.

We see Superman, in a Bat-nightmare, mention to The Dark Knight that Lois was his "world", and that he blames Batman for her loss. Shortly after, The Flash rudely interrupts Bruce's nap to inform him that Lois is "the key", before the speedster disappears in a bright flash of light.

From this limited amount of information, a theory has been pieced together. Lois Lane's death will enrage Superman and cause him to take over the world, leading to the dystopian future that Bruce glimpsed in his vision.

This directly mirrors the story found in the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us, which also inspired a prequel comics series and has been touted as one of the finest DC stories of the modern era, so having the movies crib from it wouldn't be unusual in the slightest.

Lois' death all depends on whether or not Batman's "Knightmare" is destined to happen or can be averted, but as it stands, based purely on the evidence we have, she's the most likely to die out of the entire DCEU roster.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
