Context for God Killer Wonder Woman.
To make Wonder Woman more of a threat, she kills what's left of the Greek Pantheon and absorbs their powers. Her brand of justice will bring the mortals to heel, she will reunite the regime and end this insurgency once and for all.

With the success of The Batman, I’d love a similar treatment for Superman

Dec 4: Remember that time we learned Clark Kent totally peeked at all his Christmas presents with his X-Ray vision? (Justice League, “Comfort and Joy”)
Because Clark is awesome and loves christmas.
remember that time we learned clark kent is a grown man who still believes santa exists
He’s an alien and a superhero who knows other superheros in a world with a talking telepathic Gorilla, ofc he believes, anything is game.
Thats because Father Christmas/Santa Claus totally DOES exist in the DC universe, and every year, without fail, Santa fights through Apokolips’ defenses just to give a lump of coal to Darkseid.

The following rant/analysis has been submitted by V. As a way to avoid their email address from being shown, I copied the content of the submission in a new post. Have a good read ! :D
I’ve seen on numerous sites WB accused of botching the set up of the DCEU in their rush to catch up with Marvel.
While it’s probably true that WB wants to get the DCEU up and running ASAP, that doesn’t automatically mean that the execution of it was bad. The majority of the criticism surrounds having a joint Batman and Superman movie so soon in the extended universe. A lot of the comments essentially want DCEU to follow the blueprint of Marvel – have a series of stands alone movies with events that runs concurrently to each others before the first big team up.
I don’t have a problem with Marvel’s method. They have good reasons for doing what they did and it was very successful. However, there is more than one way to skin a cat and I disagree that the DCEU was poorly set up. In fact I think Snyder, Goyer, Terrio and the rest of the creative team have done a great job of organically setting up a truly interconnected universe.
Superman and the events of MOS is the foundation for the DCEU. Learning about the existence of Superman, alien life form and getting invaded by said aliens was a paradigm shift for the in-movie universe and set up the events leading up to the first Justice League movie. First, people now realized that there are beings with incredible powers amongst them – opening the door for all the meta- humans to come out of hiding. Second, there is intelligent life out in space and they are not necessary friendly – a set up for the Green Lantern Corps and the eventual invasion by Darkseid.
In BvS the audience get dropped into the middle of this extended universe as we witnessed the respond to this paradigm shift at a micro (Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor) and macro (the public, the government etc.) levels. I think it was very realistic – we have people who responded to Superman and his power by worshipping him as a God, we have another group who responded with fear manifested as hatred (earth belongs to human, God hates aliens etc.) and we have people like Senator Finch who are ambivalent; they want to believe that he’s just a good guy who is trying to do the right thing, but they need to know that he can co-exist with the existing laws and systems of the world.
Thanks to Lex Luthor’s machinations, mid-way through BvS it seems like fear and hatred have won and people turned against Superman, but by the end of the movie his sacrifice demonstrated – more than any speech ever could – who he really is; just a man (not a god) trying to do the right thing even if it means giving up his life. It is a powerful message that changed not only Batman and Wonder Woman, but the public.
Jor El’s words have essentially come true, Superman has given the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards and the Justice League will come to symbolize that. Another outcome of Superman’s sacrifice is that once other meta-humans make themselves known, the public – learning from their mistakes with Superman – will be kinder and more accepting of their “heroes”. I’m looking forward to the public reaction to their “original” hero’s resurrection and return when he joins the other Justice League members to protect mankind against Darkseid.
To conclude, I think the DCEU has been set up wonderfully. I particularly loved the inter-connectedness of the movies’ universe so far and with news that Suicide Squad is a direct follow up to BvS as well as suggestions of Cyborg being in the Flash movie, I hope this inter-connectedness will continue. I also love that the DCEU doesn’t just focus on the heroes, but also show how these heroes impact their wider world. By including the public reactions to these superheroes beyond the brief “oh hey it’s Superman, awesome!” it really feel like an actual universe populated with these living, breathing, larger than life figures. It has been a while since I’ve been invested in a fictional universe, but thanks to Snyder and co. I’m very excited about all the possibilities of the DCEU.

do you understand how great this scene is it doesn’t even need editing
Phantom Zone technology was mastered by Darkseid long ago and the phantom zone is in fact where he recruits most of his soldiers.
Darkseid has heard of the young mad Titan Thanos. As long as he stays out of his plans he has no problem with him, yet.
