Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Plot Details Revealed in New Synopsis [SPOILERS]

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is one of 2016's most anticipated blockbusters, and will be hitting cinemas in just over two months. The full trailer released in December hinted at the action we can expect, and revealed that the monstrous Doomsday would be the film's main villain. Now a more detailed plot synopsis has been put online.

The synopsis was published on the website for cinema chain Cinevue, and was reported by CBR. It reads:

Following his titanic struggle against General Zod, Metropolis has been razed to the ground and Superman is the most controversial figure in the world. While for many he is still an emblem of hope, a growing number of people consider him a threat to humanity, seeking justice for the chaos he has brought to Earth.

As far as Bruce Wayne is concerned, Superman is clearly a danger to society. He fears for the future of the world with such a reckless power left ungoverned, and so he dons his mask and cape to right Superman’s wrongs. The rivalry between them is furious, fueled by bitterness and vengeance, and nothing can dissuade them from waging this war. However, a dark new threat arises in the form of a third man: one who has a power greater than either of them to endanger the world and cause total destruction.

The superhero stand-off that the world has been waiting for is finally arriving in cinemas, with an all-star cast bringing to life the characters we all love. Zack Snyder (300) returns as director following the huge success of 2013’s Man of Steel, along with Henry Cavill (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) in the role of Superman. Also starring Ben Affleck (Gone Girl) as Batman, Amy Adams (American Hustle) as Lois Lane, and Gal Gadot (Fast & Furious 7) as Wonder Woman, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is an explosive, action-packed blockbuster that is sure to thrill DC fans everywhere.

In an interview with French magazine Studio Ciné Live last month, star Ben Affleck explained what would set the Batman of this movie apart from those other films. "[The film] plays a bit more with the billionaire playboy side of the character," he said. "He lives that life at full tilt. He courts many women, owns many cars, and parties a lot. He does that as a way to fill the void in his soul.

"Past incarnations dealt with a straightforward search for justice. This time, Batman's reasoning is clouded by frustration, bitterness and anger."

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will open on March 25, 2016. It is directed by Zack Snyder and also stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Gal Gadot, and Laurence Fishburne.
