WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Zack Snyder's Justice League, now streaming on HBO Max.

Zack Snyder's Justice League strongly suggests that Lois Lane (Amy Adams) is pregnant by the time the credits role. Snyder himself has now confirmed this to be the case.

"Lois is pregnant at the end of the movie," Snyder stated plainly in an interview with Vanity Fair. Snyder originally intended to establish Lois' pregnancy in the theatrical version Justice League, though Warner Bros. vetoed the plot point, even before Snyder left the project in 2017. "That was always my hope, but they made me not do it, originally," he explained. "But I got it in."

At one point in the film, Lois -- still grieving the death of Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill) -- takes a pregnancy test into the bathroom, though the result is never shown. At the end of the film, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) congratulates Clark, though it's unclear if he's referring to Clark and Lois' apparent engagement, Lois' implied pregnancy or perhaps both. It's also unclear if/when this will be resolved, seeing as how there are currently no plans for a sequel to Zack Snyder's Justice League.

At any rate, the way things play out would suggest that Lois' baby is, in fact, Clark's. This is worth clarifying, as leaked storyboards from Snyder's planned Justice League sequels -- which have since been taken down on copyright grounds -- seem to suggest a plot point where Bruce/Batman is revealed to be the father of Lois' baby. (Notably, Snyder himself recently confirmed his initial plans called for a love triangle between Lois, Bruce and Clark.) However, Snyder has also now revealed an updated version of this theoretical plot point where the baby would be Lois and Clark's biological son, but grow up to become the new Batman following Bruce's death at the hands of Darkseid.
