Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel changed everything. This movie finally gave us a post-credit scene. But here’s the kicker: it wasn’t funny, cute, or even relevant to the plot. It was a Microsoft commercial. No, I’m not joking. After the credits rolled, Superman removed his glasses and clicked on a Surface tablet to read about his events. Product placement so shameless it made Lex Luthor blush. If you blinked, you missed it. And if you stayed sober, you cursed it.
But wait—there’s more! The real post-credit scene for Man of Steel was actually a second scene that only played in IMAX theaters. It showed a Kryptonian scout ship buried in ice. And that ship? It contained the pod that held a sleeping General Zod. Yes, Zod was literally napping through the credits. That’s why he shows up in Batman v Superman—he’s just cranky from being woken up.
