8) Maggie Sawyer
The military factored into Man of Steel in a big way, and it seems as if the government will have an equally pivotal role in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice as they look to make Superman answer for his actions in Metropolis.
It would be a nice change of pace then for his next movie to put the spotlight on the city’s police department and how they go about handling having this hero – and his villains – in their midst. Captain Maggie Sawyer was introduced as the head of the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, a branch dedicated to handling super-powered menaces when Superman is unavailable.
Openly gay, Maggie is in a relationship with Batwoman, and if her introduction in the sequel were to lead to that also playing out here, it could open up a lot of interesting possibilities.
[zergpaid]7) Sam Lane
In case it wasn’t already obvious from the name, General Sam Lane is the father of Lois Lane. Man of Steel was a pretty busy movie, so it’s easy enough to understand why he wasn’t included there, but it would be foolish of Warner Bros. not to use him somewhere down the line.
Sam and Lois have a complicated relationship, and he’s not a fan of either Clark Kent or Superman. In fact, his actions have bordered on the point of villainy a number of times in the past when he’s come up with various schemes to take down the superhero.
Like Lex Luthor, Sam is convinced that the alien poses a threat to Earth, and even if a movie doesn’t go down that route, seeing him insert himself into the lives of Lois and Clark now that they’re living together would make for a great subplot.
