Rumors Regarding Lex Luthor's Villainous Scheme in BATMAN V SUPERMAN
Some additional plot information has leaked out online regarding Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now before I get into it, there's some speculation here that has not been confirmed. There is also stuff that some of you might consider to be SPOILERS, so tread carefully.
First, Lex Luthor's (Jesse Eisenberg) villainous scheme in the story might be bigger than we thought. An extra who has been on the set of the film offers up some information on two funerals in the movie. One is for the President of the United States, and the other is a flashback of Bruce Wayne's parents funeral.
The President is apparently assassinated by someone, and comic book readers speculate that this could be a plan set into motion by Luthor to clear his way for presidential candidacy. It wouldn't really be a surprising plot device because Luthor briefly served as President in the DC Comic universe. It's also something that could lead into the Justice League movies since his aim was to take them down.
When it comes to the Wayne funeral, the extra said via Tech Times:
The first scene we filmed was with Jeremy Irons [who plays Alfred.] It was out in a field with young Bruce Wayne. A flashback to the Wayne funeral. The small set was really cool with the hearse vehicles sporting Gotham license plates.
One of the other bits of information that has come out includes a photo from the set (via Movie Pilot) that hints at another character joining the movie. The photo is of a trailer door with a sign that reads "Kahina Double." If this photo is legit, it means that Kahina the Seer will be appearing in the film.
The character is a member of the Others, who are hunting down Aquaman's rival, Black Manta. So there's a chance that Kahina's inclusion in Batman v Superman is setting up something for the Aquaman movie. One of the rumors is that Jena Malone is actually playing Kahina, not Robin as previously rumored.
