DC and Warner Bros. announced that 'Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice' will focus on the ideological and philosophical differences between the two superheroes - and that Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent will eventually team up against a common enemy.
Speculations point to two possible appearances, from the iconic Superman villain Doomsday and the infamous criminal mastermind, Lex Luthor by Jessie Eisenberg. Rumors got fans excited to the possibility of the latter building his trademark - a green/purple war suit - capable of fighting Superman on a one-on-one combat. Luthor is said to gather Kryptonian technology and build his armor from that.
It's more likely that the film will be featuring multiple bad guys instead of one singular threat - let's not forget Aquaman and Wonder Woman will have their appearances as well. With Lex Luthor playing the central villain in the film, Doomsday's addition could also materialize, according to reports. Lexcorp may harvest General Zod's corpse to create him, making him the 'muscle' of the antagonist group.
Along with Doomsday's possible appearance, DC enthusiasts can't help but ask, could Superman die? In the 1993 comic book 'The Death Of Superman' Doomsday actually caused the death of our beloved Man Of Steel, proving that he's the most powerful foe Superman has ever faced.
'Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice' also takes us one step closer to 'Justice League: Part One' which is set to follow in 2017, and Wonder Woman's solo franchise, starring Gal Gadot.
Just recently, Scoot McNairy was seen wearing green tights halfway through his pants during the shooting of some scenes. Some guessed that he'll be playing Bruce Wayne's assistant. The film also stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. The announced release date is on March 25, 2016.
