So The Penguin’s in Batman v Superman, then?

As previous rumours suggested, Michael Shannon is back as [the deceased] General Zod in “Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice”. A quick google will inform you that, in the film, Lex Luthor gets a hold of Zod’s body and experiments on it. He’s obviously working on something suss.

But what? Is he turning Zod into a SeaWorld attraction, maybe?

In an interview with Vulture, Shannon brought up his involvement in the film and mention that, amusingly and curiously, he had to wear weird hand prosthetic for the movie.

“I was in my costume, and I couldn’t use my fingers because in the sequel I have flippers instead of hands. So I had these wax flippers on my fingers, and I couldn’t open the door, and I could hear Zack [Snyder, the director] being like, ‘Where’s Shannon? Where the f–k is he?’ and the whole crew was standing around. I was like, knocking on the door with my flippers, ‘Let me out of here!’.”

A craft services worker found Shannon and let him out, obviously (otherwise the interviewer would’ve noted that Shannon conducted his interview in the crapper), but the question remains : Why does Zod have flipper hands in the movie? Will CGI replace the prosthetics or will the guy actually get about looking like Oswald Cobblepot’s frail cousin?
