Here’s what we know about "Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice" based on the first teaser trailer. Superman is viewed as some kind of false god, people don’t trust his alien ways, and Batman is ready to make him bleed. And now, an official synopsis basically confirms that.

Collider is on the floor of the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, and of course, Warner Bros. folks will be there representing their wares for next year’s blockbuster showdown. And this summary of the movie doesn’t reveal much, but in terms of providing broad strokes, it does what it’s supposed to:
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
So, what’s the "new threat"? Lex Luthor? Some really cool thing we don’t know about yet? Either way, it’s probably a safe bet that Bruce and Clark will hug it out and use their powers together to save the day. Speculate below and see you in cinemas on March 25, 2016.
Brainiac?
Doomsday?
I can\’t see Lex being the thing that "puts mankind in greater danger than it\’s ever known before". Lex takes issue with Superman\’s god-like status and makes Superman\’s life a subsequent hell, true, but having him break from the gate by putting the whole of humanity at stake is a little bit too much for this film. It seems more likely his involvement will be a setup for the next Superman film to not feature Batman (or another hero), as a means to establish just how much Lex has a dislike for Superman. Whatever the threat is, it\’d have to be something serious enough to potentially push both Batman and Superman into a partnership, so my immediate guess is one involving someone/something from Apokolips coming to earth.
Everything that seemes funny about \’Captain America: Civil War\’ looks pretty boring here, but why?
