Whether Snyder and his screenwriting team of Argo’s Chris Terrio and David S Goyer have the comedy chops to pull off a similar feat remains to be seen, but there are positive signs in the scene when Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman turns up for the first time to help face down a monstrous new villain. Joss Whedon’s great innovation on The Avengers was the realisation that audiences will accept just about anything from a comic book movie, provided the wit flies faster than any of the preposterously powered titans on screen. Snyder is aiming for a certain Whedon-esque levity The new iteration’s apparent origins also represent a much more satisfying link to the events of Man of Steel, so we can perhaps forgive the tinkering.
But both versions had their origins on Krypton, so the new take makes a certain sense. This would be a significant departure from the comic-book canon, which pitches Superman’s nemesis as an eternally reincarnating monstrosity who hates all life. Unless Snyder is teasing us with smoke and mirrors, it looks very much like Zod is the vessel through which the character Doomsday is brought to life, Frankenstein-style. Previous trailers have shown us the dead Kryptonian villain’s body bag being unzipped, but we now learn that Eisenberg’s maniacal Lex Luthor is the man who has his dirty little hands on the corpse.
