Last month, Michael Shannon created quite a stir on the Internet by claiming that he had flipper hands in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The idea of flipper hands set off speculation that Shannon was in some type of motion capture suit and might be playing Doomsday in the film.
However, Shannon later claimed that he was only joking about the flipper hands. In a new clip from Larry King Now provided exclusively to Comicbook.com, Shannon reiterated that he wasn't serious about the flippers, before revealing some more interesting new details about his role. ?The pressure that I?m under in this situation sometimes leads me to say silly things like Zod has flippers,? said Shannon. ?It was a false.. red herring, as it were.?
But Shannon didn't stop with just denying the flipper hands, he also described his role as a Zod ghost.
?It?s the same thing like in the first one with Jor-El. Russell Crowe?s character is kind of like a ghost,? said Shannon. ?So I guess I?m a ghost, kind of.?
