Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel Teased Doomsday With An Easter Egg Most Fans Missed

Adding more lore to a franchise we’d sadly never get to see completed, Zack Snyder stoked the fan theory fire a little more when asked about the moon-bashing brute that preceded Luthor’s monstrosity. Just what happened to the original Doomsday? How did it come into existence, and did Krypton manage to put an end to it? Well, unfortunately not, as Snyder once again revealed on Vero, «Yes, the real Doomsday is out there still.»

Considering that the original planet-wrecking creature is strutting around the universe is indeed a scary thought, given how much time passed between the Last War mentioned on Krypton in «Man of Steel» and Kal-El arriving on Earth. Created by genetic scientist Bertron as a weapon, it proved too powerful. It was decreed by the Council of Krypton «that none will ever again give life to a deformity so hateful to sight and memory. The desecration without name.» It was this very warning that Lex Luthor ignored when creating his own Doomsday in «Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,» leading to a similar catastrophe that was thankfully averted, courtesy of the big blue brooding boy scout.
