Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice confused everyone by taking us into a future dubbed "Knightmare," but filmmaker Zack Snyder has since explained that Justice League: Part 2 would've taken place in a desolate future ruled by Darkseid and a Superman under the control of the evil villain's Anti-Life Equation.

The plan was for the Flash to use the Cosmic Treadmill to travel back in time and help make things right, and while it's doubtful that Zack Snyder's Justice League will have time to touch on that to any great extent, he has confirmed that more Knightmare scenes will be included in the #SnyderCut.

Your guesses are as good as ours when it comes to what that could entail; will Bruce Wayne doze off again, getting another vision in the process, or was Snyder intending to tease his sequel somehow? We know Cyborg has a vision of his own when he plugs himself into a Mother Box, so it's feasible that he could get a glimpse of what's to come for him and his fellow League members.

However, Snyder has confirmed in a past Vero post that the Flash inadvertently travels through time, so perhaps he ends up in the far flung future and comes face to face with the Knightmare Batman?

Yay, more Batman killing people with guns!

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - how about spears

@BlackBeltJones - Proves how sadistic Batman really is. He doesn't want to just kill Superman, he wants to shove a spike through his neck and watch him suffer. My hero!

@BlackBeltJones - *Cringe* It's literally like reading my own creative writing notes from high school.

Thankfully, in college I had peers and professors who pushed me to explore motifs and allegories more deeply than just "X is like Y, get it?". Por exemplo...

If Superman is Christ, what is the internal logic of Batman casting himself in the role of Longinus?

...But if the spearing is meant to reflect the crucifixion... Superman isn't Christ, Doomsday is. Superman is killed by Doomsday's spike, not the spear.

...So... Doomsday is Christ? And Superman is Longinus? And I guess Wonder Woman and Batman are supposed to be Pontius Pilate and Caiaphas?

@Spock0Clock - this is the level of thinking that was needed when Terrio and Snyder were cooking up this mess

Zack skipped the creative writing courses on reigning it in

I think the idea of a Lovecraftian evil alien intelligence influencing people like Lex, along with the corrupting power of anti-life, and Darkseid could be really interesting. Even within Snyder's idiosyncratic version of the characters, the corrupting power of hatred was a coherent theme.
