The rivalry between The Man of Steel and Gotham's Caped Crusader may not be over just yet. A rumored description of the second "Justice League" trailer described Batman with a scared look on his face as he fought with the antagonist version of Superman. The lack of confidence only hints that this time, tables may turn.
In the description which was originally posted last June 24 on r/DCEUleaks, Superman was said to be wearing a black suit and sporting a beard with a mullet that lands right in front of it. He was wearing the said costume as he descended from the sky to fight Batman.
According to Comic Book Movie, the costume implies that The Man of Steel is returning from the dead but he will no longer be fighting for the same cause as his former friends. He will be controlled by the Darkseid and/or Steppenwolf.
No details about DCVMARVEL's identity were indicated in the post. He did, however, partly reveal his sources. Apparently, the spoiler was from two users on Twitter. DCVMARVEL did cite their usernames but he claimed that both are "very reliable," pointing out that one of them had shared accurate leaks for several new movies.
His Twitter sources posted similar details about the uncut trailer. However, only one shared a full description which DCVMARVEL copied and shared. As for its release date, both leakers are clueless.
To date, there is no official confirmation about Superman's return. In fact, both Warner Bros. and DC have been quiet about his character. The Hollywood Reporter suggested that this is their way of saving The Man of Steel's resurrection until a later date.
The online entertainment news source also pointed out that Superman's return in "Justice League" is not about when it will happen, but how. As an example, The Hollywood Reporter then cited a mullet as a sign of his resurrection.
Moreover, they explained another possible explanation that fits perfectly into the movie's cinematic plans. In the 2012 series "Earth 2," the first issue opened with an invasion by the villain Darkseid. In the battle, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were all killed as they defended the Earth. After a year, The Man of Steel showed up as though he was brought back to life. However, instead of attending to his superhero duties, he served as the Darkseid's slave. Later on, it was revealed that it was not really Superman but a clone.
