Batman V Superman: 15 Theories That Were Utter Bull

11. Superman Is Actually Bizarro

Warner Bros.

The Rumour: Wondering why Superman appears to be firing potentially deadly optic blasts at Batman in the trailer? It's because the Superman we're seeing here isn't in fact the Man of Steel, but rather Bizarro, the malevolent mirror image of Superman, presumably created by Lex Luthor.

How Much We Believed It: Though this rumour definitely had a valid point about the blast, it seemed way too ridiculous for a movie that already had Doomsday to juggle. 2/10

The Truth: This was really just sneaky trailer editing: Superman about to fire a blast and Batman barely diving away from it are two different scenes stitched together, and the offending blast was in fact fired by Doomsday in the movie's climax.
