Based speculation: Who's REALLY the 2nd villain in BvS

This is like one of those illuminati confirmed videos

OK Jokers, so where do YOU think Cavill's "lightsaber" came from and why it was in a BvS shoot?

You have to be joking......

If you are serious then this is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a very long time.

If this sets up an Apokolips vs New Genesis film, I'd be all for this.

True dat. Did anyone read the fake script? Asides from glaring mistakes, The script actually killed off Superman. With a Justice League movie coming. Yeah...

Oh, I know it's a gag. But where did the "lightsaber" come from? 1) It's never been seen before and 2) What would a lightsaber be doing on a BvS shoot?

As I've said before, a Superman villain in a Superman movie makes all the sense in the world.

Doomsday was created on Krypton. By Berton. The MOS blu-ray said it:



Lex. Luthor. Will. NOT. Create. Doomsday.

Facepalm indeed...

1) It's too early for Doomsday
2) Batman v Superman is the wrong context for Doomsday
3) Doomsday is not a larger threat/greater danger than Zod's World Engine
4) A Lex-created Doomsday would miss the point of Doomsday: a creature that has an evolutionary adaption to death itself.

In contrast, something Darkseid-related would not only signal a greater danger to humanity than extinction (Darkseid has aimed to control humanity), but would justifiably require Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. The "lightsaber" by itself would not necessarily indicate much of anything, but the fact that Cavill is wearing the Superman costume in front of an apocalyptic background seen twice now, that includes both Wonder Woman AND Batman, indicates that this prop possibly is from this part of the movie itself. And that combination of evidence strongly suggests an Apokoliptan threat.

This doesn't even take into account that the subtitle and the presence of 4/7 strongly suggest that BvS will lead into Justice League; Doomsday, while powerful, doesn't constitute a threat requiring seven individuals to put down over the course of a two-part story. Darkseid does.

That said, the weapon looks very much like Barda's weapon, not Kalibak's (which is bigger).

"Most of those lightsabers aren't canon or real props."

Does that help you or me? If it isn't canon or real then it's definitely not what Cavill's holding. I just included them because someone would otherwise say "well, I think it's such-and-such's lightsaber..." and then I'd have to find it to prove them wrong.

Thanks for making me explain that BTW.

"How do we know that Cavill isn't holding an EpVII prop, or something fan made?"

Cavill is in BvS not EpVII. Both movies are ultra-secretive, we'll-only-give-you-info-when-we-feel-like-it movies. They are not going to start trading props.

And a fan made lightsaber is really reaching. a) Most fan made lightsabers are repros of "existing" ones and b) we're back to the "what is a fan made lightsaber doing on a BvS shoot" question.

Bottom line, it is FAR more likely that it's a BvS prop with a lightsaber effect added than a random lightsaber popping up on a BvS set. And the DCU item that matches the prop is a beta club.
