Here’s the Real Reason Batman and Superman Are Brawling inBatman v Superman

Throughout its merchandising campaign , Batman v Superman has focused on the fact that Batman and Superman are border heads pretty much because Bruce Wayne has taken it upon himself tostop Superman before he becomes a threat to the humankind . Turns out , that ’s not the only rationality , as a certain other billionaire is behind their battle .

The tidbit get fromEntertainment Weekly ’s raw screening story reveal for the movie , forward of its release at the death of the calendar month — Batman and Superman are pressed into natural process against each other because Lex Luthor , noted sports fan of nefarious hijinks , essentially massacres a bunch of citizenry . Oh , and he use that misdirection to do something we already knew he was doing from the prevue : using the corpse of General Zod to create Doomsday .

The fury and anxiety of these two characters is manipulated by Lex Luthor ( Jesse Eisenberg ) , a billionaire psychopath with a God complex of his own who takes joyfulness in bringing the potent to their knees . Luthor not only orchestrates a mass murder aimed at turning the two leaden hitters against each other but also uses some Kryptonian relic left behind from the Man of Steel aftermath to cook up a cosmic mutant Frankenstein — Doomsday , partially built from the clay of Michael Shannon ’s General Zod .

Considering that Luthor ’s participation in the large story of Batman v Superman has been mostly keep under wraps until now , this seems like a weird thing to reveal with just a month to go . Like I say , much of what we ’ve seen has firmly put the focussing of Batman and Superman ’s conflict around the destruction of Metropolis in Man of Steel , and Batman ’s personal beef cattle with a top-notch - powered extraterrestrial go around on his major planet . But hey , I guess the movie ’s villain has to do something fittingly grim and villainous , right-hand ? It ’s shameother dastardly Luthor plots were n’t used , though .
