8 Interesting Ways That Justice League Sets Up Future DCEU Movies

Superman (And Clark Kent) Is Reborn

This is kind of an obvious one, but it still needs discussing. After his death in Batman V Superman, Justice League resurrects Henry Cavill’s Superman so that he can save the world alongside his Super Friends. However, the film offers just the tip of the iceberg of the Man of Steel’s story from hereon in.

Firstly, Kal-El comes back noticeably lighter-hearted than he was before his death. Coincidentally similar to Barry Allen’s recent personality adjustment on The CW’s The Flash, a stint in the afterlife seems to have done the hero a world of good. It’s clear that the DCEU Superman will be much more in line with the classic interpretation of the character in the future. He even has a much brighter outfit.

It’s also worth mentioning that Clark Kent is back in action, too. At the end of BvS, Kent’s death was made public as well. Justice League‘s final moments, however, see Supes hiding behind a pair of glasses once again, no doubt heading back to his job at the Daily Planet (shout-out to the long-awaited shirt rip). We’re not sure how they explained that one away. But then again, I guess who’s going to care about a lowly reporter coming back from the dead when Superman has just returned?
