This article contains spoilers forBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandJustice League.
In this sequence, Superman has taken over the world and a gun-toting Batman leads an insurgency against him.
We see that Superman is supported by soldiers wearing his S insignia, and by hordes of insectoid Parademons.
Listen to me now!
Am I too soon?
You were right about him!
Youve always been right about him!
Find us, Bruce!
You have to find us!
Based on the sequence alone, thats the most straightforward explanation of what happens.
Will Superman become evil?
Upon Supermans inevitable return, we have to want to see him again.
The theatrical cut ofJustice Leaguesets about fixing that from the very first shot.
He comes close to killing Batman too, with a sneering reprise of his Do you bleed?
from the darker film that came before, but Lois shows up and calms him down.
They then fly off to Smallville, until he regains control of himself.
Is Darkseid approaching?
Naturally, the real alien threat is paramount inJustice League.
But in changing course, these plans also changed.
The ease with which he loots Atlantis for their Mother Box does the underwater kingdom no favors either.
If theJustice Leaguefranchise has any future, its a safe bet that well see Darkseid somewhere down the line.
When does The Flash go back to warn Bruce?
Heres where things get really complicated.
The Disorienting Future
Batmans Knightmare was initially intended as visceral foreshadowing for films that may never exist.
The Knightmare sequence feels orphaned and anomalous in hindsight.
ByJustice Leagues begrudging acknowledgements of the previous films, its become just another paradox in an incoherent continuity.
