Batman V Superman: 7 Fan Theories We Already Know Are Bullsh*t

Is Christian Bale secretly returning to the role he never wants to play again? Umm...no.

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice (that subtitle really needs to go) will finally unite the two biggest comic book icons on the big screen; a title event that fans have waited decades for. Whatever people think of DC€™s slightly cynical approach to the movie €“ like jamming in Wonder Woman and other characters to set up other films €“ or Zack Snyder as a director, there€™s an excitement about it that€™s undeniable. This anticipation obviously leads to rumours and wild speculation about where the movie could go; who are certain actors playing, what will the big twists be and who will win in the end? These fan theories are a fun way to pass time until it comes out, but the sheer amount of them can make it hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. Thankfully through the process of research €“ as well as what the trailer has released so far and some good old fashioned logic €“ it€™s entirely possible to rule out some of the bigger rumours surrounding it. The film will no doubt have a few surprises in store for people, but until we know what they are it€™s better to walk in as fresh as possible.
