Rumour: Batman v. Superman will boast four villains besides Lex Luthor

With Batman v. Superman already boasting a host of heroes, it makes sense that should be plenty of villains to counter balance them, with Latino Review reporting there will be as many as four antagonists lining up alongside Lex Luthor.

First up will apparently be Gotham villain, Victor Zsaz, the knife-wielding mass-murderer who carves a scar on his body for each of his victims. Nice chap.

He'll also be joined by Luthor underling Morgan Edge, and David Cain, a fiftysomething assassin who also finds himself in Luthor's employ. No prizes for guessing who his target will be…

Finally, the report claims that Senator Amanda Waller will be making an appearance, regarding Superman as a serious threat to her power, and planning a counter measure to take him out of the picture. Boooo!

None of these have been confirmed by Warner, of course, but they certainly make good grist for the rumour mill. Directed by Zack Snyder, Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice will open in the UK on 29 April 2016.
