Will Lex Luthor Be Wearing His Classic Armor In ‘Batman V Superman’?

It’s pretty obvious by the film’s title —  and recent teaser trailer — that the majority of the conflict in Batman v Superman will be between the Caped Crusader and Man of Steel. However, JoBlo is reporting on a rumor that has Lex Luthor donning his infamous warsuit and getting in on the action as well:

That’s right, we will finally be seeing Lex don the armor he’s worn for decades in the comics and various animated series/films. How will it look exactly? Our source says it will be very much like the many variations we’ve seen in the past and will obviously fit the style and look of the film (and DCCU films in general). Lex will don the suit for at least part of the film, but it’s unclear if it’s just in the finale. Either way, he’ll be rockin’ the suit and that more than likely means a throwdown with Supes (although we can’t outright confirm that).

This rumor comes from a “reliable source,” according to the site and opens up the possibility for some pretty great action sequences if it rings true. Yes, it’ll be interesting to see an evil — and bald — Jesse Eisenberg beating up Superman (while bald). But up until now, we haven’t really seen Lex Luthor directly battle Superman in any of the superhero’s big-screen appearances.

Between this rumor and the possibility that Doomsday might appear in the upcoming DC movie, Batman v Superman may prove to be the superhero blockbuster Warner Bros. has been waiting for.
