It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry to the #BatmanvSuperman references to the DC lore series. Today is the turn for the Metamorphosis scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood

In this one Lex Luthor uses his blood and General Zod’s body to start creating the desecration without name. In this one there is not a particular reference but wanted to highlight different things about these scenes that are similar to comics.

First, Lex Luthor is trying to create a creature to kill Superman. This has happened a lot in the comics, especially for different versions of Bizarro. For instance, in Post-Crisis, in The Man of Steel #5 he creates a clone of Superman that ends up becoming Bizarro (a creature).

In this scene Luthor combines his blood with Zod’s body to create this deformity. Though Luthor uses sometimes human DNA to create Bizarro he does not seem to use his own. However, he does use his DNA (and Superman’s) to create Superboy in several versions of the comic.

I guess I could also write about times in the comics where Lex Luthor either creates or revives/enhances Doomsday. But that will have to wait until he creates and names Doomsday later in #BatmanvSuperman.

To finish I want to highlight the uniqueness of Lex using his DNA plus Zod’s body to create something. That has hardly happened in the comics, and in #BvS it reinforces the continuity with #ManofSteel allowing Snyder to play with parallels like this later on which I love!

So that’s a wrap for today’s scene. Remember if you like this thread or any previous ones, consider donating to the @afspnational Autumn Snyder Fund. Every small amount counts to raise awareness for this cause! supporting.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuse…

Adding this one here of Lex using his DNA to create a bizarro which seems similar to what he does with Zod’s body
