Large Looming Threat
What I am looking for here is more akin to that of a Marvel after credit sequence. While I am aware that no such scene exists for this film, it would be nice for this comics fan to hear some hints dropped that point to Warner Bros. overall plan for this Cinematic Universe. As of right now, we don’t know too much about the two part Justice League movie, as I’m sure Warner Bros. wants to know how successful this movie is going to be first, but if you were to guess, which villain do you think the WB would want to go with as the main threat? Could it be Darkseid? Could it be Braniac? I’m super crossing my fingers for Braniac, but I realize that is probably a long shot *sigh*.
It’s probably safer to bet on Darkseid acting as that big bad type role. Now don’t get me wrong, Darkseid is still an excellent choice, but for me, who the villain is doesn’t ultimately matter. I’m going to be invested with whoever the writing team chooses. All I want are some easter egg acknowledgements in this movie. For all we know, Warner Bros. could be wanting to do something similar with what Marvel’s Avengers did by having a key villain of one hero return to try and beat everybody. In this universe, that person is Lex Luthor. Ultimately, my approval of the idea to bring back Lex Luthor for Justice League depends on how I feel about Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of the character after I see this movie. If it’s good, then I think it would be really cool to have someone physically scrawnier as Eisenberg to develop Luthor’s trademark green mech suit. Regardless of who it ends up being, I hope there are some hints Zack Snyder and the writing have put into the script in order to acknowledge the future of this franchise.
