Rumor: Is This How BATMAN V. SUPERMAN Will Set Up the JUSTICE LEAGUE Villain?



This post contains potential SPOILERS for BATMAN V. SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE. You've been warned.

In BATMAN V. SUPERMAN the movie's job is to set up Batman in the DCEU movie-verse as well as Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor. All of this will lead toward the set-up for JUSTICE LEAGUE, which is also being directed by Zack Snyder.

According to the sources of BirthMoviesDeath, there is a big reason why fans were teased the body of General Zod in the BvS San Diego Comic-Con trailer. He is rumored to become Doomsday after Luthor meddles with Zod's DNA, who will then be the big bad in JUSTICE LEAGUE.

"It's Doomsday, created from the body of General Zod... In post-Crisis [comic book] continuity Bizarro was created by Lex Luthor during an attempt to clone Superman, while Doomsday was the result of Kryptonian mad science. In BvS Lex creates Doomsday while trying to muck with the genes of Zod's corpse."

If this is true, which is looks like it could be, this might be why Zod actor Michael Shannon has said he was brought back to do some voice over work in BvS... because re-animated, zombie Zod is Doomsday. Whether or not he is actually voicing Doomsday remains unknown and Shannon could have done some flashback voice over work as Zod... or maybe he is actually voicing Doomsday too.

Whatever the case is with this rumor it's definitely an intriguing path to take in the DCEU. If true.
