Batman V Superman: 10 Wild Rumours That Could Happen
5. Lex Luthor & Superman Are Working Together
Batman’s motives for taking on the Man of Steel are pretty self-explanatory, its Superman’s motives that is the real wild card heading into the fight.
In Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, Superman is a government tool pushed into fighting Bruce Wayne to protect face and it may not be quite far off to assume Superman is hunting down Batman at the White House's behest as well.
The clip of Lex Luthor and Holly Hunter’s unnamed Senator in the trailer confirms a link between the Government and Lex, and with Superman looking to prove himself to the American people as their ally, it is likely he enlists the help of Luthor who no doubt will benefit immensely pitting the two heroes against one another.
