Batman v Superman Statue Foreshadowing THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN?

It would be really ballsy if they did death of Superman allready

The people of Metropolis building a statue for him at this point in the storyline, even if he does save a lot of people in the film itself, is still stupid and don't give the Jenny "he saved us" shit, because that line, delivery and her even thinking it is every bit as stupid as the notion of Superman dying and getting a statue erected of him in the second film.

Could possibly be for the end of the movie.

No way they are combining these two stories. Itd be thier last stand if they did. If it was a tribute statue he wouldnt be leaning over. That would mean he is praying or submitting or something along those lines. This statue will have nothing to do with the end product of the movie

I doubt the plot for the Justice League will involve Darkseid seing as how Marvel already did the whole "alien guy comes to take over earth with huge alien army" and Warner already did the whole "Alien ruler comes to terraform the Earth with huge army" in Man of Steel. They can't even do the Throne of Atlantis storyline because the "brother of hero turns out to be evil and takes out vengeance on inferior human species" was already done in The Avengers. Warner will have to go in a completely different direction to avoid the criticism of copying Marvel, therefore they'll probably have to go with an earth-bound villain, hopefully Prometheus but they are probably going to go with Lex Luthor, seeing how they've already cast him in the prequel to the Justice League.

@OpticBlast: Well, the statue is confirmed to be in the movie somewhere. This is just pure speculation that it'll be a shrine though. You never know, it might just be a statue made by African tribes worshiping him or some weird crazy stalker.

@ManCalledSting: Well, technically, it is the sequel to Man of Steel.

@Alpha: Crazy stalker Lex? Hm, interesting... Sounds more like Joker, though. They also said Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal is like DCUO's Lex: An alien-racist.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, a thousand times no to them ever doing the "Death of Superman" story in a movie. I don't want to see a hero killed off, even if you do just bring him right back in the next movie (the only exception would be Thor, because going to the afterlife and coming back is a natural part of his mythos.) And I especially don't want to see Superman killed as brutally as he is killed by Doomsday in the comic (and kids definitely shouldn't see that.) Plus, I don't really like it when they try to just directly adapt a comic storyline to a live-action movie. I don't mind getting ideas from a comic, but don't try to directly adapt an entire storyline (TWS was based on a comic storyline, but there were enough differences that it wasn't a direct adaptation.) But, this is one idea that should be left in the comics (and no, I didn't like any part of the comic storyline, especially the way they brought him back.) And I think general audiences would revolt at seeing Superman killed. All you fanboys would love it, but you're the only ones calling for that story to be adapted. Breaking the bat was done in TDKR partly, maybe even totally, to make fanboys happy, and it caused a major plothole in that movie (fixing his back in a prison.) And killing off Gwen was fanboy appeasement too. I would rather that they had been original and kept her alive. Have Pete end up with Gwen instead of MJ.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if WB ever did kill Superman in a movie, I might decide to stop watching WB/DC films totally. It's just something that should NEVER happen. And I definitely don't see it happening in DoJ.

I actually think it would be great if Superman where to be killed off by Doomsday and have the villain be brought in to the film. You have Batman come in to try and help Superman and Wonder Woman. I actually think that's who the Rock could be playing he mentioned that his character is equally or more powerful than Superman. If this film has the death of Superman then the return of Superman can happen in the Justice League film which is being filmed back to back.

I'm just thinking if people are complaining about the destruction in Man of Steel how are they going to cope watching Superman fight against Doomsday? In Man of Steel the destruction was caused by Zod and the Terraforming machines. Luckily for Superman he stopped the machines before it could destroy the whole city, only a small fraction of the city was destroyed. Superman did his best to try and stop a psychotic kryptonian in which he was unable to reason with because Zod had became insane. Superman tried to stop him before coming to a last resort to kill Zod in order to save a family. At least Superman felt remorse and sadness after killing Zod rather than just grinning as he did in Superman 2.

SinTzu - Doesn't Justice League release one year after Dawn of Justice? If so, Superman sacrificing himself and reappearing 1 year after his apparent death would just make his sacrifice cheap IMO.

I hope not.....just too soon.

I happen to think this will be outside the Hall of Justice.
