He's the half-human son of a lighthouse keeper and an Atlantean queen, but he's rejected his Atlantean heritage. In Lex's files, we see underwater footage of Arthur Curry wrecking an NSA drone snooping around after him in the Pacific Ocean. This extraterrestrial object will play a major role in Justice League.


We'd seen only a teeny tiny bit of Aquaman, Cyborg and Flash prior to Justice League.īvS gave us only a moment with Victor Stone, in footage showing his father using an alien cube to rebuild Victor's mutilated body as a cyborg named Cyborg. We got no explanation about the future version who visited Wayne. We had only a glimpse of the present day version of Barry Allen prior to Justice League, in the form of security footage as he zipped around a store to stop a robber. She lost the man she loved in the process and has been secretly living among humans as antiquities dealer Diana Prince (with regular superhero-ing on the side).Īfter Superman's death, Wayne convinces her to help him form a team of heroes. The immortal Amazonian goddess left her secret island of badass warrior women to help end World War I. People build a big memorial in his honor in Metropolis, while his body is secretly buried in Clark Kent's hometown of Smallville, and his adopted mother Martha gives Lois an engagement ring her son had planned to propose with, which was surely a gut punch.Īfter everyone pays their respects to their fallen friend, the dirt on top of Clark's coffin levitates. whatevs.Įveryone is supersad that Superman is gone, particularly Lois Lane ( Amy Adams is excellent in these movies).

But: heat of the moment, needing to re-create a comic book scenario. Supes really should've thrown the spear to Wonder Woman, who's a trained badass, not susceptible to Kryptonite, and seemed to be having a great old time in that fight. After using a kryptonite spear to fatally impale Doomsday - a monster created with the DNA of bad business baddy Lex Luthor and Kryptonian villain General Zod - Superman is weakened to the point where Doomsday kills him in its dying moments.

Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman face off against Doomsday, which won't end well for one of them.
