One of the biggest aspects of the movie that fans still don't know much about is the role that Wonder Woman, who's already the most anticipated new comic book character of the
year according to Fandango, will play in the chaos. Snyder says that fans are 100% right to be pumped about her, because while she's not the focus of the film she certainly demands
attention while onscreen.
Synder: "We kind of tried to just listen to Wonder Woman... to preserve her mystery but understand her as much as we can, in the way that we see her in the movie," he said.
"You’ve got to listen to Wonder Woman because what Wonder Woman wants, Wonder Woman gets, that’s just how it is."
"I think that Gal [Gadot] is amazing, an amazing Wonder Woman and really – I feel like there’s an atmosphere out in the world where [with] this giant iconographic strong female
superhero, it’s time. It’s time for that. It’s long overdue."
Also new to this film is the quirky, manic version of Lex Luthor that Jesse Eisenberg is bringing to the table, which has already become a pretty contentious sticking point among
fans -- some found him annoying in the most recent trailer, while others thought he was the best part by far.
Synder: "In the trailer, of course he comes across in a very specific way," said Snyder.

He and "Argo" screenwriter Chris Terrio had a lot of conversations about the sort of Lex they wanted to write before letting Eisenberg take the reins.
Synder: "In the movie, he’s like a million times more sophisticated than what you get in 30 seconds. But that’s also the fun of it. That’s why you go to the movies, so you can
actually see the context and understand the depth."
Of course, you also go to the movies to finally figure out which spoilers you come across are totally fake and which predications turn out to be true -- which is certainly what we'll all
be doing when "Batman V Superman" finally hits theaters on March 25.
Our prediction: stuff's definitely gonna get punched.
