'Batman v Superman' News: Zack Snyder Shares Doomsday's Importance
The upcoming DC superhero clash is just two months away, and director Zack Snyder has gotten too excited during his latest interview that he had to dish some details about Doomsday and why he was chosen to become the big bad in "Batman v Superman."
According to Comic Book Movie, Snyder told the Empire Magazine, "He [Doomsday] is an essentially unstoppable force. He poses a real threat to the world within the film," adding that the team had to pick someone worthy of going against Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill).
The decision to put Doomsday in between the two quarreling heroes is actually a smart move. As Snyder put it, Doomsday is one of the most remembered villains in the history of DC since he murdered Superman at one point in the comic books.
Recent rumors have also been digging into Lex Luthor's (Jesse Eisenberg) involvement in the creation of Doomsday and some speculate that he was the one who brought life to the demon. Snyder didn't provide too many details about the rumored involvement, but he said, "You learn pretty early on that Lex is interested in metahuman existence and that there might be some relationship between that investigation and the appearance of Diana Prince."
That said, Snyder has paved the way for fans to make a clearer connection between Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and her intervention in Superman and Batman's fight against Doomsday. Rumors last year suggested that Lex may have investigated the origins of Diana, which then allowed her to get in the midst of the fiery battle.
The latest trailer also shed more light on the questions that fans have about General Zod's connection to Doomsday and Lex. It appears that the crazy businessman experimented on Zod's remains, which then resulted to the transformation into Doomsday.
Meanwhile, Collider has obtained some low-resolution images of the Empire magazine featuring Batman, the Batmobile, and Wonder Woman.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" hits the big screens on March 25.
