Batman v Superman Rumors Describe Wonder Woman’s Costume and Lex Luthor

There are so many rumors about the upcoming superhero team-up movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that it can be difficult to keep track of them all, and determine which ones come from reliable sources and which are little more than wishful thinking. But the latest scoop from JoBlo contains so many potential scoops that it’s difficult to deny that, true or false, it’s going to become a part of the conversation from here on out, until Warner Bros. either officially confirms or denies them.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS:

Seriously, you have been warned.

It’s no secret that Wonder Woman will be making an appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, played by Gal Gadot. But speculation has run rampant about which of her iconic (and sometimes not-so-iconic) costumes she would be wearing in the film. According to JoBlo she will be wearing a version of her classic costume that includes silver cuffs up to her elbows, the lasso, the shield (slung over her back, not unlike Captain America) and a sword. Instead of the bikini cut outfit she will be sporting the blue leather skirt occasionally seen in the comics. 

Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenberg, will appear with red hair early in the film (leaving room to speculate on whether he will lose his luscious locks later on) and views Superman (Henry Cavill) as a threat to his own personal greatness. The plot will revolve around Luthor attempting to manipulate public opinion against the Man of Steel. 

Other rumors within the scoop suggest that Wonder Woman’s role may be minor until the film’s climax, and that Batman is an experienced crimefighter who can’t bring himself to live in Wayne Manor, choosing instead to reside in a cottage above the Batcave just outside his fancy mansion.

You’ve made it this far, you wanted to know that much about the film (assuming these rumors prove accurate, that is), so what do you think? Does it sound like Warner Bros. has got a handle on its first big superhero team-up?
