WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

If you're not a comic book fan, there are at least a couple scenes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that may leave you confused. On the flipside, there are plenty of cool Easter eggs that comic book fans will doubtless appreciate, and one of the more intriguing hidden gems comes when the film is introducing the audience to other Justice League heroes.

For the uninitiated, a Mother Box is a device that can manipulate time, space and reality, and merging with the Mother Box turned Victor into a technopath.

Of all the inelegant extended universe teases we got in Batman v Superman, Cyborg's had me the most interested. His solo film has no writer or director at the time of writing, but I'm intrigued to see how Snyder plans to use him in the Justice League movies after this tantalising glimpse.

Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Mamoa, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher, Justice League: Part 1 is currently scheduled for a November 17, 2017 release.
