The Justice League movie has an awful lot to do.
It needs to round off the first bumpy phase of the DC Extended Universe and successfully introduce new characters like Cyborg, Aquaman and Flash and set them up for their own spin-off movies.
It needs to integrate the visions of two incedibly different directors, Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder.
It needs to somehow bring Superman back out of that coffin but, much more trickily, it also needs to somehow bring his very human alter ego back from the dead.
The Justice League main trailer already featured Clark Kent, moodily standing in a field of corn. But this was some kind of dream sequence.

The world depicted on screen and the audience in the cinemas will be completely able to accept that an almost god-like being could come back from the dead. After all, we saw him hit by a nuclear bomb and apparently dead floating in space during Batman V Superman, before the rays of the sun revived him.
Clark Kent, clearly, can NOT do the same.
If Superman does indeed return as expected, is Clark still dead?
The only real way that the human alter-ego can reappear is if everyone is told the Caped Crusader’s secret identity.
This renders Clark almost useless. It immediately compromises his work as a journalist and also puts his family and Daily Planet colleagues in enormous danger as potential ways for an enemy to harm Superman as Lex already tried in the preceeding movie with Martha.
There are simply no good solutions.
The filmmakers could try and present a convoluted excuse that Clark had gone on a secret undercover newspaper job that required his enemies to think he was dead.
For a film franchise still struggling to find its tone and win the complete trust of fans, this would surely be too ludicrous and undermine the integrity of the character and the entire on-screen universe.
Superman could possibly fly around the world really, really fast and turn back time and “save” Clark but that might have been done before…
If Clark assumes a new human identity, this is much more plausible but means he can never interact with any former friends, except Lois and his mother who already know his dual identity.
It also makes it impossible for him to marry Lois. It might look a tad suspicious if she walks down the aisle with a man who is the spitting image of her dead fiance.
How on Krypton will the Justice League movie solve this dilemma?
