Henry Cavill has teased a major plot point in the upcoming Justice League film.
With filming well underway on the new superhero team up, the son of Martha (MARTHA!) and Jonathan Kent uploaded a cryptic image that looks like a black version of the “S” shield that adorns the Superman suit.

While the character is still technically SPOILERS FOR BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, it is an open secret that Superman will be returning for Justice League: Part 1 when it otherwise emerges in 2017.
Why all the fuss about a black version of the Superman suit? Well in the comics Superman donned a black costume after being “revived” (turns out he was actually in deep stasis recovering in the Fortress of Solitude.. comics are weird… yadda yadda).
After spending some months on the shelf, Superman’s hair had grown shoulder length….
That’s right, for a time in the ’90s, Superman rocked a mullet.
The rest of Superman’s return concerned dealing with four pretenders to his crown.
But the questions we really have in the wake of this tease are:
1) Will Superman return early into Justice League: Part 1’s run time, or will he be saved for a ending reveal?
2) WILL HENRY CAVILL HAVE A MULLET IN JUSTICE LEAGUE?
Seriously, all will be forgiven if Henry Cavill dedicates himself to growing a nineties style mullet for Justice League.
Imagine, Justice League, one of the most expensive films ever made, featuring one of Hollywood’s most square-jawed and most handsome men – in a mullet.
Warner Bros. coming off the back of three critically underwhelming films, once again entrusting Zack Synder to do right… making Henry Cavill have a mullet.
The thought of it makes us all excited.
Please have Henry Cavill in a mullet for Justice League. Have Zack insist he grows it long, none of that wig nonsense too.
