About a month ago, Michael Shannon said in an interview about returning to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that his character of Zod would have “flipper hands”. While it seemed like a bizarre story, he later admitted that it wasn’t true. Now it would seem we can’t believe anything he has said.
“Flippers? I think that might be a prime example of my scatological humor,” he told ScreenRant. “People ask me a lot about Batman v Superman and I really don’t have anything to say about it, so sometimes I just make up stuff, which I’m sure Warner Bros. is really happy about.”
Director Zack Snyder also went on record to say that the majority of rumours spread about the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice are way off base. So perhaps we won’t know anything concrete until we actually see the film.
