Look, we all know how unreliable toys are when it comes to story details, but there's something very interesting about these Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice action figures. If Batman and Superman were wearing alternate costumes, I'd completely dismiss this, but they're in their movie duds, so would the designers really have plucked the Lex Luthor design out of thin air? After all, it's like nothing we've seen in the comics, so it's definitely an original design and one which could very well end up in Batman v Superman next year. After all, we've seen multiple denials about Doomsday being in the movie, so the heroes uniting to take on the armoured Lex is certainly plausible. It looks a little alien too, so could the LexCorp boss have utilised Zod's armour?
Starring Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane returning from Man of Steel, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and Holly Hunter in a role newly created for the film. Jason Momoa will also be making an appearance as Aquaman. Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set to open in theaters on March 25th, 2016.
