Breakdown of current "Batman v Superman" scoops with newest available details.

There has been an update by the original source of this information.



Fans that are looking forward to a film focused on the differences of Batman and Superman, with side villains as minimal, will be thrilled with recent developments in news that has come out over last 24 hours. The ideological and philosophical differences between these two heroes is what will be the focal story. Obviously we expected this to be the centerpiece, with a movie featuring the most known superheroes of all time.

According to the tweets in the past few days previous to this article by Umberto Gonzalez, Lex was the only known physical villain. Now he has updated his scoop with a reveal that DOOMSDAY will be the physical villain of the movie! The likes of Metallo, Brainiac, Parasite, or other physical villains are still not going to be a part of the new Batman v Superman movie. The choice of foregoing some of the big gun villains may not necessarily build the excitement and hype that could push a movie like this into a larger appeal. DOOMSDAY should still keep the interest level high!

Fans got excited seeing the green legs of Scoot Mcnairy during the shooting of some scenes. The speculation ranged from him playing the Flash (which we know has been cast with Ezra Miller in lead role) to Jimmy Olsen (with mechanical legs). Other people proposed that the legs were a sure fire sign of Scoot playing Metallo.

Long time hero scooper, now formerly of Latino Review (now launching new "Heroic Hollywood" site), has revealed some details that are quite substantial. According to Umberto Gonzalez:

1. Scoot will be Bruce Wayne's assistance. He will not be playing Metallo. This will be a new character for the movie.

2. Metallo is NOT going to be in the movie AT ALL.

3. There will be only one physical villain, aside from the antagonist relationship between Batman and Superman.

4. Lex is the main villain.

5. Update from the original scooper is that DOOMSDAY is the physical villain and cause of heroes uniting to lead towards Justice League.

6. The "Do you bleed?" voice over moment from the trailer is reportedly a dream sequence.

All of the pieces of info are within 3 days. If you have been glued to his twitter I suppose it isn't news to you... but to others it most certainly is.

I'm still wondering why Jena Malone's role is so secret, hopefully she has a role in BvS cause Zack knows her from Sucker Punch and she's a top-notch actress. Remember her set visit and a few days later the dyeing of her cartoon-esque red hair. If anyone has a clue please answer me.

Jena is most likely going to play Barbara Gordon/Oracle.

To Artisan What makes you think she's Babs Gordon, why not Carrie Kelley? Do you think she's in it at all cause everything is so quiet around her?

My money is on Jena is playing Cara Kelly since this movie is influenced by tdkr

If Doomsday's the villain I'd like to see Martian Manhunter being in this movie. Seeing him teaming up with Superman to take down Doomsday would be great.

Scoot said it himself that he is playing a charachter that has read in the comics.

The set pics showed Scoot McNairy's character hanging around the destroyed Wayne Financial building, indicating that he's an employee (and amputee).

I wonder though, is Doomsday the only physical villain, or will Lex indeed suit up in armor? Because those two factoids contradict. I'm not sure that Doomsday is a big enough villain to warrant the entire Justice League. He's strong enough, but I wonder how a Justice League would work with only a singular physical villain, especially one like Doomsday. Maybe they'd adapt the Doomsday virus story from the New 52, but would that even warrant splitting the story into two parts? Darkseid is about the smallest (relatively) threat I can think of that could warrant two films.

But I want more information about Wonder Woman and the context of Superman going to Themyscira.

@DerekLake

I believe in the comics it was the "Amazo virus", but I could be wrong...

Wasn't there a theory he's playing Legs & he'll work with Anarky in the Batman solo movie??
