New Batman v Superman Deleted Scene Teases Darkseid
The Bell Has Rung
By Alex Burns
Warning Major Spoilers ahead!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has set the world alight with debate and box office might but here's something to mull over as we await the release of the film on home video. Check it out below.
A new deleted scene shows off Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor being apprehended by the military after Superman's battle with Doomsday. The clip is titled "communion" and shows a meeting between Lex and a seriously savage looking monster that looks to be imparting knowledge upon Luthor. The identity of this creature is unconfirmed but any fan worth his salt will look for a link to Darkseid and his horde of loyal servants on planet Apokolips, judging by the look of this character it could very well be Steppenwolf. Now Steppenwolf is a Apokliptian general and a member of Darkseid's Elite, he is incredibly powerful and has bested both Superman and Wonder Woman in the comics. Check out his look in the New 52 complete with a massive horned helmet!
The big question now is why was this scene cut? Luthor's erratic behaviour at the end of the movie and his creation of Doomsday have been heavily criticised. However, if he was under the influence of aliens who wanted rid of Superman to launch an invasion on Earth then wouldn't this kind of clarification have helped out? Granted you'd have probably need another scene with some dialogue to make it clear but hey, it's another bizarre aspect to this widely ambitious movie.
Dakseid is coming folks make no bones about it and by the looks of things the members of his Elite guard will also be appearing and man do they look scary!
Expect more developments as the R Rated version approaches release the extended cut of this film may answer all our burning questions...
What are your thoughts on the deleted scene?
