Mysteries that the Snyderverse has left completely unresolved

1. How did Snyder plan to introduce the original Doomsday—the one created by Bertron—into his films?

The Doomsday that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman faced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was merely a pale imitation created by Luthor. Yet look how all three struggled against him, with Superman even having to sacrifice his life to defeat this creature once and for all. This is merely the tip of the iceberg, as the original Doomsday created by Bertron is even more terrifying.

What made Bertron’s Doomsday so terrifying and feared was the fact that he was incapable of dying; more precisely, he would never die twice in the same way. Every time he was killed, his genetic material was rewritten to develop a specific immunity against whatever had killed him previously. In fact, it was this monster who shattered one of Krypton’s moons, Wegthor, years ago. In the classic comics, after being expelled from Krypton, he landed on the planet Bylan-5, killed Master Mayhem instantly, and fought Darkseid and Steppenwolf, forcing them to retreat to save their lives. Darkseid, not wanting his right to rule Apokolips to be called into question, forbade his uncle from telling anyone about this episode.

Zack Snyder has, by the way, confirmed that this Doomsday is still alive, wandering somewhere in space. I wonder to what extent he would have been introduced into the Snyderverse and how the Justice League would have managed to defeat such a monster once and for all.

2. What happened to Kara Zor-El and Dev-Em after Scout Ship 0344 crashed on Ellesmere Island in Canada 18,000 years ago?

Unlike in other adaptations, Kara is not Superman’s cousin, but one of his distant ancestors. During Kara and her crew’s journey away from Krypton to discover new planets to colonise, Dev-Em stowed away on their ship and took advantage of their sleep to murder the crew, leaving Kara as the sole survivor. Shortly after her ship crashed following her fight with Dev-Em, one of the two is seen emerging from it and heading into the blizzard.

When Clark visited the ship centuries later, he came across the pods containing the skeletons of the crew members, Kara’s being the only one open. When the Justice League entered the ship to access the Genesis Chamber in order to resurrect Clark, they came across that very same pod.

I wonder if there were ever plans to introduce Kara Zor-El into the film adaptations that never came to fruition. Her story might have allowed for the exploration of a little-known part of Krypton’s history. No one knows whether she is still alive or has ultimately died; what became of her and Dev-Em remains a complete mystery.
