Justice League: 10 Biggest Questions It Leaves Unanswered

1. How Are They Going To Explain That Clark Kent Is Alive?

As previously mentioned, Superman's resurrection is sort of brushed aside in Justice League. Considering the most iconic figure in the history of the human race has literally returned form the dead to save the world, you'd think the film would focus a little bit on people reacting to his sudden reappearance.

Even worse though is that the film never answers just how the hell Clark is going to explain to his friends and coworkers at the Daily Planet why he's somehow alive and kicking. People went to this guy's funeral, they've mourned him, and now he's suddenly back at the same time as Superman.

Obviously you've got to suspend your disbelief that nobody can figure out that Clark and Superman are one and the same, but when two prominent figures return from the dead at the same time and look pretty much identical, somebody has got to start asking questions.

It's a weird hole that's never addressed, and Clark's return to his regular life is going to result in a lot of narrative issues that a Man of Steel sequel (if it ever happens) will have to figure out.
