May 17, 2015: "Batman v Superman" Doomsday Rumors Persist

Doomsday For quite some time now rumors of Doomsday being part of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" have circulated around the internet... and according to movie scooper Umberto Gonzalez (aka El-Mayimbe), Doomsday is indeed part of the movie.

"It's been out there, but it's official. We are going to see Doomsday," he told the Shanlian on Batman podcast.

    Gonzalez likens Doomsday's part in the film to that of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars ­ in that he is the brawn that "main villain" Lex Luthor goes to when he needs a physical threat (similar to how Vader was Grand Moff Tarkin's muscle in Star Wars). That dynamic certainly makes sense. While Luthor represents a great danger with his massive intellect, he wouldn't pose much of a challenge to Superman and Batman (and Wonder Woman?) in a fight ­ unless he was wearing some sort of armor. On the other hand, Doomsday is one of the few DC Comics villains who has the potential to be lethal toward Kal-El, so Luthor unleashing Doomsday on the heroes is a logical way for the story to conclude.

As for the line in the teaser trailer in which Batman appears to ask Superman if he bleeds, Gonzalez stated that the line is actually part of a dream sequence... but would say no more.

Whether you believe any of the above rumors or not is up to you. Warner Bros. have not confirmed nor denied the Doomsday rumors. We'll just have to wait and see...
