‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ synopsis confirms ‘face off’ and Lex Luthor pulling strings
“Who will win?” may be the big fan appeal of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the new synopsis for Zack Snyder‘s upcoming film takes this fact and works it straight into the plot description.
The Batman v Superman plot synopsis comes via Comic Book Movie who found this description of the film through Odeon Cinemas, one of the U.K.’s largest theater chains, here it is:
At long last, see Batman and Superman square off against each other in ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’, an epic superhero showdown which will change both their lives forever.
Clark Kent doesn’t trust Gotham’s mysterious masked vigilante. Bruce Wayne doesn’t trust the alien who nearly destroyed Metropolis. And Lex Luthor, who hates Superman more than anyone, is manipulating both of them for his own twisted ends.
Choose your side: the Man of Steel or the Dark Knight? Learn the answer to the age-old question – who would win? – in ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’.
Lex Luthor is behind it all?
No real surprise there, but confirmation of the battle and the role of Luthor.
Total Film (via The Playlist) caught up with Snyder and asked him the question that has defined the Batman vs. Superman debate for decades and how Batman can stand up to the Man of Steel: “The advantage that Batman has is the goodness of Superman; the compliance to fair play that Superman has… Batman knows how to exploit Superman.”
In other words, Batman would never stand a chance against Superman if he wasn’t morally righteous. Then again, Superman wouldn’t be Superman if he wasn’t morally righteous, so that wouldn’t be a fight between Batman and Superman.
Henry Cavill returns as Superman with Ben Affleck set to don the cowl as Batman. Gal Gadot (Furious 6) will play Wonder Woman against Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor.
Also cast are Holly Hunter, Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Callan Mulvey, Jeremy Irons, Tao Okamoto, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Jason Momoa and TJ Norris.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens on March 25, 2016.
