Director James Gunn Reveals Lex Luthor's Pocket Universe Toilet Secrets

In the lead-up to the release of the 2025 Superman movie, director James Gunn has been engaging with fans on social media, answering even the most oddly specific questions about the film's lore. One such query came from a fan who was rewatching the previous Superman movie and wondered, "Are the prisoners in Lex's pocket universe watching each other go to the bathroom, or do they get some privacy?"

Gunn, known for his meticulous attention to detail, provided a straightforward response: "They have little corner toilets in full view." But the director didn't stop there. In a follow-up, he revealed that the character "Mr. Handsome" - a gray-skinned, black-eyed creature created by Lex Luthor in a petri dish - is tasked with cleaning up after the prisoners.

This exchange offers a darkly humorous glimpse into the twisted world-building of Gunn's rebooted DC universe. The director has long been praised for his ability to think through even the most bizarre aspects of his stories, and the plumbing details of Lex Luthor's pocket dimension are no exception.

As the release of the new Superman film and its sequel, Man of Tomorrow, draw closer, fans can expect Gunn to continue providing these kinds of insightful and often absurd answers, further expanding the lore and mythology of the DC universe in unexpected ways.
