Crazy Aquaman rumor for ‘Batman v. Superman’

Let’s talk Batman v. Superman rumors! Yeah why the fuck not! It’s Monday night! I’m sitting in shorts, my Padmé Amidala baby doll, and my comfy crocs. Ain’t got nowhere to go. Ain’t got nothing better to do. The latest rumor involves newly christened OL Babe Khal Drogo (ever since the great booth flyby of 2014) and his role as Aquaman.

Spin-Off:

It turns out you might not have to wait until 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice for the first cinematic crossover between two DC Comics superheroes.

On the latest episode of the Meet The Movie Press podcast, hosts Mark Reilly and Jeff Sneider discussed a recent conversation overheard by one of the hosts. According to Sneider, a film journalist for The Wrap, he heard a conversation between someone who recently worked with Zack Snyder on Batman v Superman, claiming that Aquaman saved Superman’s life back in 2013′s Man Of Steel.

The scene in question takes place after Clark rescues workers from a burning oil rig off the coast of Alaska. Clark is seen floating in the water unconscious, as two whales float away. According to Sneider’s overheard story, the whales saved Clark from drowning by pushing him up to the surface — all on the orders of an off-screen Aquaman. While no scene establishing this connection has been released, Sneider says that the link will be confirmed in Batman v Superman.

Aquaman hasn’t been officially confirmed for Batman v Superman, but the conjecture behind the easter egg would be the first direct link to Snyder’s take on the DCU’s water-dwelling hero, and would lay an interesting foundation for the two relationship between the two superhero

Two questions: one, do you think this is true? Two, do you think this is retroactive continuity, or that it was always planned? I’m answering those questions in the following ways, respectively. 1) Yes, 2) No.
