    Could We See A Superman Clone In Batman v Superman?

    By Irfan RashidOctober 24, 2015

    At some point of watching the Batman v Superman trailer over and over again, I noticed some things that I’d like to share with you guys. I have this theory that we are gonna see a clone of Superman in the movie created by Lex Luthor (Bizzaro maybe?). I know this sounds… insane! But, it’s just a theory, so try to read it with an open mind.

    *This article was originally posted back in July, I just felt it’d be interesting to re-post and get your opinions.

    7. Lex Luthor Has General Zod’s body

    I’m sure everybody saw this. His body being carried under the supervision of a lady who I’m assuming is Lex’s secretary. And also a body bag is being opened to reveal a dead Zod’s face. I’m guessing Lex is gonna use Zod’s DNA to create this clone.

    6. Lex Has Kryptonite

    I’m thinking this one as a fail-safe in case something goes wrong with his experiment. Or this could be his way of hurting the real Superman after learning about his weakness from Zod’s body.

    5. Something Escaped From Lescorp

    There’s a scene in the trailer where we see LexCorp in ruins and investigations going on all around. This might be the result of the clone escaping Lex’s facility.

    4. Superman Acting Like A Pet

    Here we see Superman kneeling in front of Lex and Lex is almost patting him as if he is his (Lex’s) pet dog. Could this be Lex’s creation? And the look of anger in Supe’s face might suggest the classic creation vs creator battle.

    3. Superman Has Servants (?)

    We see some armed men kneeling before Superman. They even have the ‘S’ on the shoulder of their uniform. I mean, come on, that’s not the humble, down to earth superhero we know. In another scene, we even see these guys shooting people. And clearly they work on the Man of Steel’s commands. (Or maybe his clones)

    2. There’s Something Wrong With Superman

    In this scene we see a family, who are the victims of what seems like a flood, wanting Superman’s help. A woman reaches for Superman as she sees him. But wait, Superman just hovers over them without actually doing anything. He doesn’t even show any intention of saving them. And, it almost looks like he is staring down at some “lesser beings”. This might be the clone I’m talking about.

    And last but not the least:

    1. Superman Is Trying To Kill

    So, they are fighting. Okay I get it. But does that mean Supes would try to fry Batman with his heat vision? I mean, the guy actually cried after killing a monster like Zod. But look at the picture above. I shouldn’t have to explain what would’ve happened if Bats didn’t dodge that beam. Just look at the magnitude of the shot!

    What did you think of this theory? Let us know in the comment section at the bottom of the page!
