'Justice League' Reveals Villain, Possibly Nixes Two-Part Movie Plan

A bunch of media outlets recently got to visit the set of Justice League, Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice follow-up, and there's a lot of takeaways out there—one of the biggest is certainly the villain reveal. Steppenwolf (the bad guy; not the band) will menace the superhero crew in the November 2017 flick. A deleted Batman v Superman scene previously hinted at this.

Here's what the knowledgeable folks at ComicBook.com have to say about Steppenwolf:

"An uncle to Darkseid, Steppenwolf is one of the despot's most trusted lieutenants. He's been killed and resurrected more than once, the first and most notable time after he assassinated the wife of Izaya, the Highfather of New Genesis and Darkseid's opposite number. Steppenwolf's sister, Heggra, was Darkseid's mother, until she was killed by her husband. The villain is generally depicted as the great military mind behind Darkseid's forces."
