First Official BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Synopsis Revealed

The Licensing Expo is set to kick off in Las Vegas tomorrow, but we've got an early glimpse of something from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice for you now. The following synopsis teases the epic clash between the "god-like superhero" and the "forceful vigilante"...

Collider has just released the very first official story synopsis for Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Though it's understandably fairly light on specific plot details, it does confirm that a villain/villains will take advantage of the superhero showdown and launch some kind of global attack of their own. This "new threat" is most likely engineered by Lex Luthor, who may have had a hand in setting the Dark Knight and the Man Of Steel at each other's throats in the first place. But that's just a theory! Have a read of the synopsis for yourselves and see what you think.

"Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before."


There should be some more Batman V Superman related goodies on the way at some point, so keep an eye on CBM for updates. The movie opens in theaters on March 26, 2016, and also stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons, Scoot McNairy, Jason Momoa, and Holly Hunter.

"...while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs."

This is the part that really intrigues me. If the script follows through on this theme and doesn't just pay lip-service to it, that could be ridiculously cool to see.

On how they describe the plotsynopsis, the Doomsday rumor feels a lot more legit

@yonny616

I think Lex is just doing thing behind the scenes whit the "threat" ending up being Doomsday.

Yep Doomsday is in this movie and I'm cool with it.

I really hope it's not Doomsday, I feel it's too early for him too appear in the universe. My guess is the villain is of course Lex in his battle suit or maybe Darkside?

I think it's Lex that's the threat. He probably creates Doomsday or Bizarro. Guess we'll find out in under a year.

I'm okay with Doomsday making Supes bleed. Batman...Not so much.

TBH I always believe that Doomsday shouldn't be the end of all villians, like the film makers are not adapting "The Death of Superman", so why not bring Doomsday into the mix to bring Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman together.

Not sure.....just typed in Fan art of Doomsday......I've seen a fan art which IMO is the best Doomsday pic EVER!! But can't seem to find it anymore. :(

Ah yeah. really jazzed to witness the carnage.

But here's a question. Are they gonna have a scene in Suicide Squad where Joker and Lex meet face to face. That would be sick.

Doomsday?? guess we will find out

so, Batman's logic is "I should beat the sh*t out of this guy, just to make sure he's not a bad guy".

Isn't this pretty much what we already expected? batman and superman fight and a greater threat arises while they're up each other's butts?
