Script Leak for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice [spoiler]

In this image that has been circulating from a supposed past draft of BvS, it looks as if from the dialogue there is a reason to believe Metallo and possibly a form of Brainiac are villains alongside Lex. 

It would appear that Lex is trying to create a drone army and develops Metallo using Corben as a "host" to fully adapt the Kryptonian technology as the current understanding of AI is limited. Brainiac appears to make computer contact with Lexcorp.

Perhaps this means Brainiac will help Lex construct Metallo for the purpose of perfecting the process and ushering in a physical body for Brainiac, along with a drone army that he could possibly take control over from Lex.

Lex may in fact be taking the superhero "military development" plot device in BvS. Could that mean Corben is a former soldier adapted to become Metallo? Interesting theories can be developed from this script snippet.

I read this with Jeese's voice. But this sounds very fake.

IF true, it'd be cool.

Definitely plenty of ways of utilizing Metallo, but him as the host for a great plan involving Brainiac is cool. Love how Superman's villains can be intertwined so well.

Did you read it in jeese's voice, Klone? It helps a lot.

I KNOW! I so feel like Spacey was wasted. He would have been a perfect Lex for this universe, had he had the right material. Oh well, HoC is [frick]ing amazing.

They removed the image so it has a chance of being legit.
Jus sayin'...

If this is true, though it probably isn't, then I assume that Lex, and some version of metallo will be the villains of this movie. Meanwhile brainiac is being built secretly in the background being set up as the justice league villain.

I like the sound of the direction that the film could go in. I was hoping to see Lex being shown more of an antihero. Which I could see happening with him building Metallo. He would be building him as a weapon for if Superman ever goes bad. Plus if Brainiac does end up having a small part in this movie I guess he will be the villain for Justice League.

i'd rather lex build metallo himself... i want to see the lex that's so smart he can build anything with his own hands.

I wish the movie's Lex Luthor was more like Elon Musk:

Sounds okay on paper. I guess in live action it would sound silly and stupid now that I think about it haha.

I don't believe it. I do want to see a new Superman villain to be placed on the big screen. I'm hoping the film will introduce Metallo or even Parasite and have Lex Luthor utilize one of the two villains or even two villains.

Lot of badly written exposition in that script.

LEX

I want you to take the exo-suit from the last film and make a robot.

WORKER

We are making a robot, because that is what you have told us to do

LEX

And you will then make an army for me.

WORKER

Yes, that is what we shall do. But we need a human for this because we have a limited undestanding of AI.

LEX

Well, this is the very first time that I have heard of this. Ok, then I shall get a human.

WORKER

But who will you get?

LEX

I will get John Corben. Gee, I hope that the Kryptonian AI will not take control.

Brainiac's three conjoined circles light up and wink to the audience.


Give me a fvcking break.

I mean you wouldn't have the phrase "Lex is looking at the Kryptonian metal alloys that have been formed into a robotic structure" at this point in the script. That would have probably been established already, surely.
You wouldn't have a line of desciption at the end of Man of Steel that read "The alien that had been sent to Earth as a aby from the planet Krypton and is being called Superman by the military snaps the neck of the General that was sent into the Phantom Zone and then escaped".

And I noticed that after Grif's comments about it still being up you took it down as soon as you could.

And you say that the image has been "circulating", yet your source is yourself?

I mean, thanks for saving as many Jews as you could during WWII, but if you think any of us are gonna fall for such a hastily plotted prank, then you are mistaken, sir.
