A while back, ComicBook.com speculated that the logo worn by General Zod in the forthcoming film Man of Steel, which resembles a stylized omega symbol in the same way Superman’s familiy crest resembles an S, might tie him with Darkseid, the rumored villain of the now-scuttled Justice League movie who has a bit of an affinity for that sigil.It made sense at the time–Darkseid was not just a villain rumored to be at the heart of Warner’s planned Justice League film–he was the only villain discussed, showing up in numerous different rumors and leaks to different sites from different sources. And the recent redesign of the character for the New 52 put the omega front and center in a way that his previous costumes had not.But since the Justice League script went up in smoke, and the new Warner CEO seems a bit less committed to film than his predecessor, a couple of sites have claimed their sources never really believed that Man of Steel was designed as a launchpad for a broader DC Universe, and so that a connection between the two villains was anything but a given.Okay–fair enough. So what are our best guesses for the logo?“For Darkseid!”We’ll just get this out of the way; we’re still not totally sold on a lack of connection between the two. We’re probably wrong, but when has that stood in the way of some fun speculation?
