Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice - 8 Major New Story Details Revealed

2. Lex Luthor's Horrifying Plan

We've known for a while that Lex Luthor plays a part in pitting Batman against Superman, with some going so far as to claim that the Dark Knight initially starts off working alongside the villain to formulate a plan to take out the Man of Steel. Well, it's now been confirmed that Luthor "orchestrates a mass murder," which he uses to manipulate the heroes. If he's willing to kill innocents, then this might just be the most evil Lex yet. It's also mentioned that he's been deeply tormented and emotionally scarred by his father. "This is the Lex who was abused and no God ever rescued him," Snyder says. "And so, to get revenge on that God, you know - God kneels, right? Bends to my will." That goes some way in explaining why he's so messed up, and his plan will include using "Kryptonian relics" to create Doomsday from at least SOME of General Zod's remains.
