Possible Details on 'Batman v Superman' Plot!

There has been a lot of misinformation, assumptions and rumor about how the plot for Batman v Superman is structured. From Metallo to Joker to Doomsday, there are a a lot of details that are unclear about the film.

The latest rumor comes from Badass Digest, which has supplied both very credible information AND famously reported the fake shooting script for BvS as authentic. That having been said, take all this as such and not necessarily as gospel.

In the report it reveals that the story skips ahead several years, skipping over major character developments, then takes pains to address the controversial ending of Man of Steel.

"The main action takes place a couple of years after the end of Man of Steel, and Superman has been busy in the meantime, becoming the hero we know and love. Clark Kent and Lois Lane have moved their relationship forward to the point where they live together. Clark is still working at the Daily Planet, although it’s unclear if he’s loving his assignments – he’s tasked with covering a Metropolis/Gotham football game when he would rather be writing about Batman.…When Superman confronts a big bad guy and unravels his plot, he tells the villain, “I won’t snap your neck, I’m going to take you to prison,” an on-the-nose response to criticisms of the first movie. Of course Superman later loses his cool and threatens to break the bad guy’s back, so he hasn’t quite internalized everything yet."

And about those pesky Doomsday rumblings…

"As for being a protector of the people – when the Doomsday fight starts General Swanwick tells the military that Superman will move the battle away from populated areas because he’s a hero, and that’s what heroes do. Again, this is a direct response to complaints about the first film. It’s also interesting to see that Swanwick, who was tracking Superman with drones at the end of Man of Steel, is such a supporter in this film. It seems that most people – except Lex Luthor and a cautious Batman, who is prepping anti-Superman weapons – believe Superman is a hero."

The report also comes with a warning about the info:

"A caveat on this, and my previous Batman reporting – this information comes from a script that was handed in a month before principal photography began. While the broad strokes surely will make it into the film, small details like dialogue and character moments could be cut from the script or in the editing room before the movie reaches theaters."

Even still, he seems confident in many of these rumors that fans A) hope aren’t true or B) are still unconfirmed. Stay tuned for more on this, as the new teaser trailer is expected to accompany The Hobbit this weekend.
