There's more details emerging about Zack Snyder's superhero film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and it sounds like Superman (Henry Cavill) could be a villain (or at least perceived as one). According to a new report by Batman-on-film.com, the film's theme is "very anti-Superman" with people marching in the streets protesting against the Man of Steel.
The site also wrote that the pictures of Affleck, "sporting very gray hair on his temples... as Bruce Wayne involve a scene in the film where he's saving people after some sort of attack on Metropolis which caused a lot of destruction."
This rumor could suggest that the residents of Metropolis view Superman as a threat.
"Combine that with Bruce Wayne having to save a whole bunch of lives in Metropolis, and the shape of a plot seems to be emerging - and it might just be one where Superman plays the part of the bad guy, for the first half at least," Moviepilot.com suggests. "If the rumors are true, it sounds as though we're likely to see Batman hunt down Superman - with the backing of the general public - for the first part of the movie."
These rumors fall in line with a previous report that Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) had hatched an evil plan to turn the city against Superman. In a Fat Man on Batman podcast, Kevin Smith said Lex uses the destruction in "Man of Steel" to turn Metropolis into Superman-haters.
"I guess it's all integral to their next plot," Smith said. "Like the word is Lex is very like, 'We can't trust this Superman, because look what he did to our city.'"
It was also said that Eisenberg's Lex looks completely different than what fans have seen before. Reportedly he won't have his signature bald head and will instead rock loose and wavy, dirty blonde curls.
"Eisenberg's Luthor has spastic mannerisms, like a 20-somehting guy that pounds energy drinks all day. I'm told that the scenes shot take place towards the beginning of the movie... so maybe there's still a chance that Lex Luthor could show up bald by the end? We'll have to wait and see," Batman-News wrote.
