BATMAN V. SUPERMAN Deleted Scene Reveals Some Really Weird Alien Stuff




***This post contains spoilers for BATMAN V. SUPERMAN. You've been warned.***


If you've seen BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, you remember the last thing Lex Luthor said to Batman is (paraphrasing), "God is dead. He’s hungry and coming... Ding, ding, ding."

This was while he was in prison talking to the Caped Crusader and it was a bit vague, but definitely implied the ringing of a bell in a boxing match and that the fight had just begun.

Now, Warner Bros. has released the first — of probably many since there's a 3-hour extended cut reportedly coming in July —deleted scene from the movie. And the set-up it goes like this: Lex is in Zod's crashed alien ship where he created Doomsday and while he's standing some some liquid, military forces are on their way to arrest Lex for creating Doomsday and unleashing the monster onto Metropolis.

But then you see a demon-looking alien wielding three boxes. According to Entertainment Weekly it appears to be one of Darkseid's generals.

"It looks a lot like one of the demons in the painting Luthor has hanging in his study, depicting a clash between the angels and the forces of hell. The three cubes floating in front of him appear to be Mother Boxes, which are alien super-computers that can graft on to living things and bestow various undefined cosmic powers. They nurture, serve, and protect their owners like, well, mothers — as their name implies. 
"They can be a force for good or for evil, depending on the lucky individual they imprint upon. 
"As for the beast lording over them, this appears to be a particularly savage, H.R. Giger-looking version of Steppenwolf, one of Darkseid’s generals from the world of Apokolips. He dissolves into the ether the moment he is spotted. Somehow, Luthor’s experiment brought him to Earth, and that’s how Eisenberg’s imprisoned villain knows that he has invited devastation to our planet."

The "Ding, ding, ding" Lex says is obviously to cue the arrival of Darkseid to the planet as he has now been signaled to come to Earth.
