After the internet brought us rumours of Doomsday appearing in Zack Snyder’s next DC movie (here) over the weekend, today we have more villain news.

Rumours are circulating that Jesse Eisenberg will be suiting up in Lex Luthor’s Kryptonite-powered exoskeleton (above) for Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Originally designed by George Perez in the 1980s, the Iron Man-style super suit has been a feature of comics and animated TV series since. It seems that Luthor might not be content to stand back and watch Batman bust out his Hulkbuster gear to take on the Man of Steel after all.

Further info on Luthor’s threads as and when we get it, but suffice to say this could be a big thing. Wheels are in motion; just a shame there has to be a 10-month wait…
