BvS Michael Shannon IS Zod's Corpse

Threads like this really liven up the hype.......... :D
 
th


He looks sooo confortable in this pic.

like "Shhh, don't wake him up, he is soo tired, must be dreaming about puppies."

"You believe your pyjamas are safe? I will find them , and reclaim the fluffiness you have taken from us. I will find them. I WILL FIND THEM!!!!"

If Zod wasn't in a state of rigor mortis, he'd probably be excited to read Trigger Mortis, the new Bond novel.
 
Ever since I read that interview with Shannon I am constantly imagining Zod balancing a beach ball on his nose.

Does anyone have the same problem or is it time for me to go to another psychotherapy?
 
Shannon, as usual, is totally f**king with everyone. He might be Doomsday. He might not be. He could even be a Porsche, like he said.

I love the guy.
 
He said in that same interview that he hasn't been actually filmed, implying that the face in the trailer is a synthetic cast.
 
It's possible that Lex Luthor clones Zod but the experiment is not quite successful, and Zod-Bizarro is created.
 
Think there will be a Movie Masters Action figure verson of Zod's corpse? LOL
When you unzip the body bag it has the secret green flipper hands.
 
BUMP

I just wanna say, Zod's corpse could very well be engineered to Doomsday.

But I'm betting so hard that he won't be. The big bad in this movie is going to be Bizarro. I can feel it.

No chance imo. Visually, that would pretty much be the same as the Zod/Superman fight. Not interested in that at all.

Doomsday brings so much more to the table than Bizarro, I'm certain that if there is a 3rd act villain, it will be created like Bizarro, but it will look like and be referred to as Doomsday
 
Except who knows how Bizarro could be engineered? His power set and fighting style might be different than what we're used to. If people can accept that Doomsday can now have heat vision, it seems rather obtuse to suggest that Bizarro couldn't have gotten a few upgrades as well.

Plus, Batman and Wonder Woman are probably in the mix as well. So visually, the battle could look completely different based on that alone.
 
Am I the only one who thinks Zod's corpse is just there as a test dummy? I mean, Lex has to have some way of figuring out Kryptonite weakens Kryptonians, right? My assumption since before the first teaser came out has been that Lex picked up Zod's corpse and experimented on it, trying to find Superman's weakness, and that Kryptonite is either a meteor which Lex tested on these samples, or Kryptonite was just lab-created for this select purpose through analyzing Zod's corpse.

This is my thought exactly. It makes sense that Lex would test Kryptonite out first. You don't just walk up on an alien god and throw a rock at him without seeing if it will do anything to him...or just automatically know it will kill him like in Superman the movie.

I think Lex will learn about Kryptonite from how it affects Zod. But I also think while doing tests on it & Zod, he creates the creature (either by accident or on purpose)
 
Interesting

After causing some Doomsday-level confusion late last month with his comments about "flipper hands," star Michael Shannon appeared on Larry King Now to further clarify his comments, which, he reiterated, were just a joke.

Following up that brief clarification, Shannon divulged a few more interesting nuggets about his presence in the upcoming Zack Snyder film Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. He confirmed to King that he does in fact appear in the film outside of being just a corpse and also, once again, likened his role to Jor-El's in Man Of Steel and said he's sort of a ghost that presumably haunts Clark throughout the course of the film: “It’s the same thing like in the first one with Jor-El. Russell Crowe’s character is kind of like a ghost... So I guess I’m a ghost, kind of.”

However, while admitting that he does share at least one scene with Henry Cavill's Superman, when asked whether he crossed paths with Ben Affleck's Batman, Shannon replied: "I did not cross paths with Batman, no."

So, perhaps it's possible that Jor-El wasn't the only one who transferred a copy of his consciousness into the Kryptonian control key - Zod had one too (which he used to assume control of the ancient Kryptonian ship, and to erase Jor El's hologram) and this suggests his consciousness is on it. Did Clark retrieve it?

Or perhaps it's just a manifestation of Zod in Clark's mind, where's he haunted by the fact that he had to kill him.

The key thing would be interesting though. Especially if Lex got his hands on it and was able to interrogate Zod's mind. He could learn a lot about Kryptonian tech, military hardware, maybe even about things like ............. Kryponite. Creatures like Doomsday. And so on .....

I also think this!

I've always felt the threat in this movie could be Lex with kryptonian tech
