Lex Luthor and Darkseid

While Darkseid isn’t the main villain, Steppenwolf is his general. And as such, the big baddie should at least cameo in the film. After all, it was Zack Snyder who teased the supervillain, saying he might exist in the universe, searching for something that is against life.

And if Justice League will feature extended flashbacks (and it will, at least two of them, one with the history of the Mother Boxes, one with Victor Stone), maybe Darkseid should appear in one of them. In this way, his story will be established – maybe he was searching for the anti-life equation tens of thousands of years ago, and he was defeated by an alliance of Amazons and Atlanteans.

Then there is Lex Luthor. While Jesse Eisenberg played coy for a while, he will appear in Justice League. His story should continue now. Maybe he will put his big brain to use for a change and trick everybody into letting him out of prison. Maybe he will escape. Or, even better, maybe his connection with the new gods will become even stronger.
