How BvS Might Lead Into JUSTICE LEAGUE

No. Superman should not die.

Doomsday would be a stupid JL Villain IMO.
Doomsday is NOT primary villain material IMO as he provides basically no dialogue to the movie.

If he's going to be a Villain, he needs to be 2nd to someone else. (i.e. Luthor)

As for a film's 2nd Villain Created by Luthor, there are a couple of routes for that.

The obvious example is Metallo. (I still think that kryptonite should not be found on earth, but brought here by brainiac in a future JL story arc)

Then there's Bizarro. but there's a slight twist. Based on the current story so far, Lex Luthor wouldn't need Superman's blood to create bizarro.

Bizarro is often portrayed as being a falty clone of superman that Lex Luthor Created through superman DNA found in his blood. But here in the MOS universe, there's a machine that creates kryptonian babies.

What if Lex Luthor tries to rebuild and modify one of the destroyed machines in the ship, and the machine works, but is falty thus the newborn turns into bizarro?

He'd still have bizarro's powers, he just wouldn't need to look like a zombified cavill, because there's no need to have superman's DNA when you have a kryptonian baby maker.

I wouldnt say Superman dies, but gets badly injured that Batman takes him and hides him at the Batcave, leading people to believe he died, where we will see Jeremy Irons as Alfred taking care and watching over him till the final climax battle that Supes is fully healed and joins the rest :]

I like your ideas. If Superman where to die or perhaps was to get badly injured i'd have no problem with it. A Justice League should be formed to take down a greater threat and what greater threat than to be Doomsday but if all the Justice League's members are to get involved they should be fighting not just against Doomsday but an army of supervillains or aliens, robots, ect.

Pretty solid prediction. I can see it going down this way.

I don't see the problem with Superman 'dying' in this movie.

Captain America 'died' in the first movie.

You know they'll show him alive in the last scene.

My question is why does everyone think that he dies?

The one thing they could do that would actually piss me off would be to do the Death of Superman storyline. I just hate having comic stories adapted almost directly to a movie, and I really, really hate the idea of killing any hero off (the exception would be Thor, because dying and going to Hel and then coming back is a natural part of his mythos.) Among other things, these films should be fairly kid-friendly, even if they are PG-13, and seeing Superman killed, especially as brutally as he is killed by Doomsday in that storyline, would be potentially very traumatic for younger kids. And I can't see them doing that. (Plus, if they were doing that, I think they would be much more secretive about it, and wouldn't film a scene out in the open of people laying flowers at his broken statue that could be photographed by onlookers and basically let people know the ending of the film 2 years in advance.)

I do have a potential theory about the scenes shot yesterday. What if the "battle" between Batman & Superman is just staged by the two of them? It could go like this: Batman comes to Metropolis to investigate Superman, and at some point early on there is a small confrontation (think Thor v. Iron Man in Avengers, except probably even smaller.) Batman comes to trust him, while not totally agreeing with him on everything. While in Metropolis, Batman becomes suspicious of Lex Luthor's efforts to discredit Superman, thinking that he has ulterior motives to just being worried about an alien with that much power. In order to expose Luthor's true motives, Batman talks Superman into staging a very public battle between the two of them near the statue, which destroys it and Superman "dies" during the battle. With Superman out of the way, Luthor begins whatever scheme he had in mind, maybe a partnership with Brainiac or maybe he did make Metallo to help him. Then once the scheme has been exposed, Superman returns to help stop it. And Wonder Woman helps in the final battle too.

This is probably totally wrong, but it would make sense. I just hope they don't kill off Superman at the end and then have him come back in JL because I could see that turning off general audiences.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA ITS PERFECT

My guess is that it is not the death of superman but a memorial for all those lost on the day the world engine was there.

The ideas above work in a comic book but not in live action which (knowing Warner Brothers) means it probably will happen. They have not even established that there are other aliens and for Luthor to have the technology to create Doomsday two years after Man of Steel is getting into the cartoony zone. Once they go that route it is all systems FAIL!

I don't see why it's too early.

Cap 'died' in Cap 1.
Thor 'died' briefly in the first movie.
Neo died in the Matrix.
Kirk 'died' in STID.

Obviously he would come back in the last scene.

The Death of Superman was awesome when it came out but now is widely criticized because they brought him back. So I doubt they'd do that on screen.
