Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice Synopsis: "A New Threat Arises"

Warner Bros has released the synopsis to the hugely anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, set for March 2016. The studio had already released a teaser trailer and some images from the movie, which stars Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader and Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman.

The new threat? Well, that's likely to be Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor, though we're still unsure how the primary villain will fit into a story designed around Batman versus Superman. Also, it's unclear where Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman will fit.

Elsewhere this week, Warner Bros unveiled the new Batmobile at the Licensing Expo. The accompanying notes describe it as an "infamous pursuit and capture vehicle [which] has earned its reputation as the apex predator on the mean streets of Gotham City"

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will open in theaters on March 26, 2016 and also stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons, Scoot McNairy, Jason Momoa, and Holly Hunter.
