There are two extra scenes after the credits start rolling. The first is a fun extra for comic fans with no real bearing on the future of the DC Extended Universe. ( Justice League )
It’s the second one at the film’s very end that you won’t want to miss that teases where the future of the franchise is heading.
In case you missed one or both scenes, we have you covered.
The First End-Credit Scene :
The Flash and Superman are seen outdoors and are getting ready to race to see who the faster superhero is once and for all. As they prepare to take off, they share an exchange over a bet. ( Justice League )
Flash: “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you doing this.”
Superman: “If I win, you’re off the team … Bruce said something about you taking us all to brunch.”
Earlier in the film, Flash told Batman he wasn’t a big brunch person when the two first met.
Superman asks the Flash which coast they’re running toward. He says he’s never been to the Pacific coast. They get ready to take off, but the Flash mixes up his directions again and, abashed, asks Supes which direction that may be. The scene ends as the two take off. ( Justice League )
Who’s faster, the Flash or Superman?
Most argue this should be a no-brainer. Agility and speed is The Flash’s main power while Superman has super strength, can fly, has ice breath, and can shoot lasers out his eyes in addition to outracing a speeding bullet.
If you’re really curious, there’s a good breakdown of different times the two have raced here. ( Justice League )
Essentially, the Son of Krypton and Scarlet Speedster tied in two different races in the ’60s. The Flash later outraced Superman in three races, though only one of them was a true foot race.
Of course, we don’t learn in the scene as we see the two race off toward the Pacific coast. Maybe we’ll get the answer in the next superhero movie over a team brunch. ( Justice League )
The Second End-Credit Scene :
A buzzer sounds in Arkham Asylum. A guard by the name of Nelson yells out to a prisoner still in his cell, “Come on Luthor, let’s go.”
When no one comes out of the cell, Nelson walks over to get Lex Luthor. When he turns the man around, he’s surprised to find Luthor has been swapped out with a look-alike.
The scene then cuts to a man in a boat after dark. He boards a yacht and it’s clear we’re looking at Deathstroke. He takes off his mask to unveil a grizzly and gray Joe Manganiello. ( Justice League )
The real Luthor is sitting pretty awaiting his arrival and welcomes Deathstroke.
“I was celebrating the return of God,” Luthor tells him of Superman’s return.
He notes how Batman and Wonder Woman have put together a little group of their own and asks Deathstroke, “Shouldn’t we have a league of our own?”
So who’s Deathstroke?
If you thought he looked a lot like Will Smith’s Deadshot from “Suicide Squad” or Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool, you’re not wrong. Deadpool is actually a giant parody of Deathstroke. ( Justice League )
Deathstroke himself is just a guy by the name of Slade Wilson who was in the army but who got caught up in an experiment to create super soldiers. The experiment bestowed him with speed and enhanced strength. Wilson is also incredibly smart and he’s able to heal himself to an extent. Since then, he’s been a mercenary and assassin. If you’re a fan of the CW’s “Arrow,” you’re probably familiar with the character.
In the comics, Deathstroke has also been a main member of the “Suicide Squad,” but because his outfit bears some resemblance to Deadshot, it may have been too confusing to have the two side by side in that Warner Bros. movie.
His appearance at the end of “Justice League” actually teases another group that he’s usually fighting against.
