So it stands to reason that Steppenwolf didn’t battle the “Doomsday” that killed Superman, but one of its predecessors long ago.
It’s certainly possible that what was screened won’t be Justice League’s final cut, but that is indeed the finalized version, then don’t expect to see Luthor scheming with Steppenwolf in the latest DCEU feature.
But what’s most curious about this latest report is the mention of Lex Luthor.
Those who saw Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will remember that Doomsday died in battle with Superman, but let’s not forget that this was just the latest Kryptonian deformity to be created, an act that was banned on Krypton by the Law Council.
