Batman V Superman: 10 Characters That Could Steal The Show

4. Mercy Graves

Mercy Graves is a character that debut in Superman: The Animated Series back in 1996. She became so popular that she was co-opted into the DC Comics universe and is now transitioning into live-action cinema with Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, with Tao Okamoto (who previously played love interest Mariko Yashida in The Wolverine) taking the role. Mercy is an ass-kicking female bodyguard to Lex Luthor who also serves as his personal assistant. This should throw up loads of chances for Okamoto to steal the show, since she€™s bound to have lots of interplay with Jesse Eisenberg€™s psychopathic entrepreneur and a lot of cool fight scenes. This means she should have chances to prove herself as a talented martial artist and a capable verbal sparring partner. If Okamoto can pull off kick-ass and funny at the same time, she€™s bound to become a fan favourite. She doesn€™t have any superpowers either, which will make her an underdog if she ends up battle Superman and/or Batman. And who doesn€™t love an underdog? Surely, with all that in mind, Mercy will be a character that everyone starts talking about after the movie
