Was Metallo Originally Slated To Appear In BATMAN V SUPERMAN? Check Out This Concept Art
Concept art has surfaced that seemingly indicates that at some point during Batman v Superman'sdevelopment, a version of Metallo was set to appear.Was this Zack Snyder's original plan for Wallace Keefe?
Concept art has surfaced via Reddit and ArtStation that reveals Metallo was originally slated to appear in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, in a film that included Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Doomsday and KGBeast it appears Metallo was deemed one comic book villain too many.
Another clue that points to Metallo's early inclusion in the film was the fact that the LexCorp scientist who found the kryptonite on that remote island for Lex, is actually Dr. Emmet Vale as revealed in the end credits. Comic book fans will recognize that Emmet Vale was the scientist who created Metallo in the comics.
The artwork was produced by Robert McKinnon, who has also worked on Iron Man 3, Justice League and The Walking Dead.
As you can see this is a pretty unique take on Metallo as this rendition appears closer to Ray Fisher's Cyborg than how the villain is usually depicted in the comics. However, it seems this overly-weaponized version would have still used kryptonite as his power source.
