Batman and Superman may not like each other very much at the moment, but for the next eight months they’ll be stuck sharing the spotlight for the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice promotional campaign. After all, we did get an extended new trailer, new images and a new poster. We all had our guesses, but Warner Bros. and DC have officially acknowledged the character, and shes someone fans of the canon will recognize.

Zack Snyder wants to highlight the “interconnected universe” of DC Comics in his forthcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Also cast for Batman v Superman Holly Hunter, Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Callan Mulvey, Ray Fisher, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Scoot McNairy, Jena Malone and TJ Norris. The character is usually depicted as Lex Luthor’s bodyguard and assistant, with Tao Okamoto sharing most of her screen time with co-star Jesse Eisenberg.
Henry Cavill will be looking to prove Superman isn’t his Kryptonite. DC Comics says in the movie, Batman blames himself for not being able to save his young friend from the enemy’s hands, the report details. Guess we’ll have to pick up the latest issue of Empire when it hits newsstands this Thursday to see if we can find out more. Some are speculating that this scene actually takes place inside Wayne Manor, home of Bruce Wayne, aka Batman. Graves, Mercer and Tessmacher have all served under Lex Luthor in some capacity.
The trailer also showed Batman going up against a ton of Superman Guards soldiers, which may also be under the command, not of the Man of Steel, but of Lex Luthor.
