The last few weeks/months we have gotten plenty of rumors and reports on how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will lead into Justice League. Here I’ve outlined how I these two movies should and can connect based on on those rumors/reports.
-
The events of Man of Steel leads to the emergence of other heroes
-
Batman, seeing Superman as a threat, challenges the man of steel. Meanwhile Diana/Wonder Woman is dispatched from Themyscira to observe and report on what is occurring
-
Lex Luthor wages an anti-Superman campaign in public, while in private developing a weapon (the film’s second villain) to take down Superman
-
This new enemy emerges (possibly Doomsday) and forces Batman and Superman to put aside their differences and work together. Wonder Woman, realizing she can’t sit idly by, joins the fight
-
Superman dies in battle
-
Batman realizes the world was better off with Superman and sets about tracking down and assembling a group of heroes (hence the rumored cameos/casting)
-
In Justice League, the newly formed team would face Doomsday (or possibly another villain) before the eventual return of Superman at some point during the movie
So thats my theory. Thoughts?
