Released on 19th March 2016, the film is set eighteen months after the events of Man of Steel where Superman has become more or less a suspicious person.
The Plot in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Superman receives criticism on a daily basis from the media and government officials. At the same time, Superman and Batman develop a form of mistrust with each other as they doubt each other’s intentions.
Meanwhile, Lex Luthor gains access to Zod’s body as well as the Kryptonian ship. At the same time, Bruce attends a gala at LexCorp where he steals a form of encrypted data from there. He decrypts the data only to find out that Lex has been working on developing metahumans that are enriched with unique and special powers.
Threatened by Superman’s powers, Batman prepares himself by obtaining Kryptonite and crafting a spear and grenade based off it. On the other end, a bomb smuggled by Lex goes off, killing everyone in parliament except Superman.
The criticism increases as Superman goes into self-exile. Lex, in order to bring Superman back from exile, captures his adoptive mother Martha and reveals to Superman as to how he has been provoking him as well as Batman to fight against each other.
Lex’s plan works as Batman makes an appearance and attacks Batman with his unique weapons. They soon make peace thanks to Lois Lane’s revelation about Martha. The two then head out and fight Lex’s Kryptonian monster which he summons as part of his backup plan.
Superman realizes the monster’s weakness and hits him directly on the heart with Batman’s Kryptonian spear. The monster retaliates and kills Superman before dying off. The film ends with Batman revealing his intentions of forming an army based on metahumans to save the Earth from external threats.
