Last year Justice League hit cinemas only to be a box office flop and not exactly a hit with the critics.

Originally Warner Bros were going to have a second part to the film, but following the poor reception of Batman v Superman, the DC Extended Universe’ plans had to be rethought through.

Nevertheless Snyder, who directed Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Justice League, has revealed he planed for Batman to die at the end of Justice League 2.

The director gave the slightest of comments to a fan post less than a day ago.
