Justice League: 10 Crazy Zack Snyder Ideas For The DCEU We Could See In The Snyder Cut
5. Martian Manhunter
In a twist no one saw coming (because it was going to come completely out of the blue), Harry Lennix's General Swanwick was set to be revealed as secretly being Martian Manhunter. That doesn't really line up with the character's portrayal in Man of Steel, but the hero infiltrating the government to keep an eye on beings like Superman isn't too much of a stretch.
Regardless, when Lois Lane meets with Martha Kent in Justice League - a scene in the theatrical cut, albeit with a "comical" news report playing in the background - it's later revealed that Martha was, in fact, Martian Manhunter in disguise.
It's unclear whether the plan was for the hero to then play a role in the movie's final act - or even that "Knightmare" future - but Snyder has since shared some blurry concept art of the character which indicates that he's planning on including what's sure to be a memorable scene in his "Snyder Cut".
This could be a game-changer for the DC Extended Universe, especially if there are plans for him in any future movies set in that world.
