Rumored villain & plot details for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Besides the titular duo, we know other superheroes like Wonder Woman and Aquaman will appear in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, but what about the villains? Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor can't be the only one that's going to be in it, right? Badass Digest has learned which two other villains might be introduced in the Zack Snyder film, as well as plot details involving Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman. While there's nothing too spoilery in their report, and these are only rumors, you still might want to avoid this new info on the upcoming movie.

According to the site, Lex Luthor has been monitoring metahumans with some help from his agents, and one of them is Batman villain KGBeast.

Lex Luthor has many agents making his dark agenda a reality, an agenda that includes keeping an eye on all metahumans, mainly a woman who walks the streets today but who is seen in pictures from the 1800s. A wonder woman, you might say. At any rate, one of Luthor's agents has a name, and that name is Anatoli Knyazev. Hardcore fans will recognize that as the name of the KGBeast, a Batman villain introduced in 1988's classic Ten Nights of the Beast storyline. In that story the Beast, an enhanced agent of the KGB, came to the US to kill ten targets, and he did it with extreme measures, including poisoning an entire 200 person dinner party to get one guy. He battled Batman to a standstill, and at one point when entangled in the Batrope the KGBeast cut off his own hand to escape. He of course put a cybernetic gun on the stump, as you do. You won't see this version of KGBeast in the movie, but the character name is there – in the script at least – for those who care to pick up on these little easter eggs.

The site also claims Superman baddie Doomsday will appear in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, saying "let me confirm for you that Doomsday is in the film", and Joker (which yesterday we learned will be played by Jared Leto in David Ayer's SUICIDE SQUAD) "already exists, and Superman knows about him," however we apparently won't see him in the movie.

It's been previously rumored Doomsday might show up in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, however like many of these characters, we have no way of knowing exactly how much screen time they'll have in the film. Do you think there's any truth to these latest rumors, and are you down with Doomsday appearing in the DC movie?

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is set to hit theaters on March 25, 2016.
