Injustice: Gods Among Us

But there is another storyline which could place Kal-El on a collision course with the Justice League. In Injustice: Gods among Us, Superman becomes a totalitarian leader after the death of Lois Lane. In the comics, this happens after the Man of Steel himself kills Lois, tricked by the Joker. I assume that this won't happen in the movies, as well.

However, the death of Lois has been hinted at. How many times did Supes have to save her in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? Now that he is dead, he won't be there for her. And, of course, she'll still go into the hottest zones of the world.

So she dies and he is resurrected at the end of the first Justice League. And he discovers that she’s died, just as the Flash said it would happen. Will he blame the Justice League for failing to save her? I assume that he will. And then we'll be treated to a Man of Steel sequel in which he must come to terms with Lois's death and realize that the world needs hope and not an iron fist.
