March 3, 2016: Entertainment Weekly Reveals New "Batman v Superman" Storyline Details
Posted by Neil Cole
The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly features an in depth look at "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" as well as the following variant covers featuring both Ben Affleck as the Dark Knight and Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel:
The issue also reveals new storyline spoilers in regard to Lex Luthor's manipulation of the two iconic superheroes and some insight into how Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) fits into the overall scheme of things:
The rage and anxiety of these two characters is manipulated by Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), a billionaire sociopath with a God complex of his own who takes joy in bringing the powerful to their knees. Luthor not only [slight spoileralert] orchestrates a mass murder aimed at turning the two heavy hitters against each other but also uses some Kryptonian relics left behind from the Man of Steel aftermath to cook up a cosmic mutant Frankenstein— Doomsday, partially built from the remains of Michael Shannon's General Zod.
Beneath the action set pieces is an intricate tale of hidden agendas, psychological turmoil, and even some complex theological questions — plus a lot of smashing. Although the new film does focus squarely on the battle between the title heroes, Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) has a major supporting role, with her alter ego, Diana Prince, running afoul of Bruce Wayne as they engage in rival missions to steal some of Luthor's most disconcerting secrets. Even before she brandishes a sword and her golden lasso, Wonder Woman’s secret identity is pretty badass.
