Potential Spoilers about BvS:

"It's a Superman cult that's been spreading in the Middle East. They attack a war-torn place, Nairomi, where Superman is forbidden to go by the local government. Lois Lane is there covering the conflict and, when Superman intervenes to save her, the cult bows to him, and the Nairomian government believes Superman to have been part of their campaign and threatens retaliation against the United States government if Superman is not punished.

Superman is then called to a congress hearing in Washington, D.C. to decide his place in the world, which Lex Luthor bombs, leading to the deaths of several politicians and innocents, sowing political turmoil and leading to a global backlash against Superman. Batman is among the ones that believe Superman is out of control, while Superman is manipulated into believing Batman is behind the bombing, setting off their conflict."

IMBD has listed 4 roles for Nairomian Crying Woman - and this particular thread mentioned Congress hearing long before the trailer. So, this could be true.

(According to WinterAssassinR from SHH forums - thanks to him).

There might be some truth to it anyways. We have to wait till March to find out if it's true.

well that would explain Supes bowing before Lex with a super pissed off look on his face.

Snyder may be taking a page out of The Dark Knight Strikes Again where Superman had to do Lex and Brainiac's bidding because they had the Bottle City of Kandor in their possession.

Costume Designer Wilkinson Talks about BvS

People’s Choice: What did you enjoy about tackling the wardrobes for Batman v Superman?

Michael Wilkinson: There’s nothing I like more than a challenge. I love to get outside my comfort zone and go to new creative places. Designing the costumes for Batman v Superman really allowed me to do this. It was an incredible 18 month experience with a costume department that at times swelled to 75 people. It is rare to have the opportunity to explore the visual world of a film in such depth, and I was accompanied on this journey by the world’s best costume experts. It’s a chapter of my life that I will never forget.

What sort of research went into creating Batman and Wonder Woman’s looks?

Wilkinson: To get ready to design the costumes for Batman v Superman, I really did my homework. I immersed myself in the long histories of these iconic characters — Superman [Henry Cavill], Batman [Ben Affleck], and Wonder Woman [Gal Gadot]— I studied how they have been portrayed over the last 75 years on film, on TV, in comic books, graphic novels and video games. I studied what they mean to people, what they stand for, why they are important. I started an exhaustive search for new materials and technologies — original ways of portraying these characters that would be unlike anything audiences have seen before. I wanted the costumes to help make the characters inspirational and relevant to modern audiences.

How are this film’s costumes different than what we’ve seen in previous films?

We tweaked the Superman suit only slightly from our suit from Man of Steel. We streamlined plus sharpened the details of the costume a little to suit the more earthly (less alien) context of this film. The batsuit is a complete 180 degree turn from the previous film incarnations — our Batman’s power comes from his incredible physical strength and fighting skills, not from armor. The director Zack Snyder wanted him to look as much like the comic book version as possible — to be respectful to the original source. As for the Wonder Woman suit, well she has never been seen in a film before, so there was nothing to compare it to! There is of course the costume from the TV show. Zack wanted our character to be a fierce and intimidating warrior — gritty, battle-scarred and immortal.

Should fans look out for anything in particular when it comes to the costumes?

Zack had a great idea to have some kryptonian script subliminally included in the details of the suit, so we made that happen. There is ancient Greek script on Wonder Woman’s weapons too. My favorite details of the batsuit are the brass knuckles on the gloves.

What was Ben Affleck like at his first fitting? How did he react to the suit?

From the moment Ben had the suit on in the first fitting he was hooked. He liked the way it made him feel – powerful and intimidating.

What was it like collaborating with the rest of the all-star cast—Amy Adams, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa?

The cast for the film were all amazing. Everyone was so excited to be working on such a cool, high-profile project. I wanted them all to look as impactful as possible. The fitting room was a very upbeat and inspiring environment.

How involved was director Zack Snyder in the process? What sort of feedback would he give you?

Zack was there at every step of the way — initial meetings, concept design, prototyping, fittings, camera tests. His energy and passion were phenomenal. It was the fifth film that we have done together, so by now we pretty much finish each other’s sentences!

You previously worked on Man of Steel. How many of those costumes carried over to this film?

Only the main superman costume. Everything else is new!

Did anyone beg to keep a memento from the costume department?

It was pretty hard to get Jason to get out of his Aquaman costume. It really became part of him. And Amy was rather attached to her winter coats and trenches.

Where did the costumes go after filming ended?

The hero suits begin a world-wide publicity tour in the next few months. They will be seen everywhere from Tokyo to L.A.

What was the most challenging part of creating this film’s wardrobe?

Trying to keep the stamina going for an 18-month project. Trying to make sure every decision I make is the most original one. Trying to make sure that I have put the maximum amount of passion and intelligence to every costume I put in front of the camera.

What’s one thing that would surprise us about the film’s costumes?

I think that most people would be surprised to hear that my approach to designing the costumes for Batman v Superman is similar to my approach on a film like American Hustle, even though the genres of the films are so different. I work out what ideas and mood I want to convey to the audience for each character, and aim to capture them using color, texture and silhouette. The choice of fabric and materials is absolutely crucial to my process. I always try to make bold, surprising, sophisticated choices when it comes to sourcing materials and using technology.

Any particularly fun anecdotes or memories from set?

I think I have to wait until closer to the film’s release to spill any beans. Ask me again next March!

Are you lined up to work on any of the Justice League films?

Again my lips are sealed. All I can say is that I am very excited about the year to come.

Has anyone seen this?

[Tracer Bullet]

DC has done better. General Zod is a much more terrifying, brutal, and fleshed out character than any villain in the MCU, and that includes Hydra from Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Yeah, but if only he had charisma.

[Burning Eyes]

Yeah, but if only he had charisma.

Effectiveness-as-a-Villain trumps Personality IMO.

Lord knows Zod was certainly effective.

Well if both these recent rumours are true about Lex, he is a pretty evil bastard who seems to be going out of his way to wreck Supes life in as many ways as possible lol... I love it! With the DCEU I'm hoping for a more cerebral Lex who tries to mindf*** the hell out of everyone, seems like we will finally get something like this.

Yeah but Zod is suppose to have some Charisma lol. Although really Zod is not what I would ever choose as a First Villain for Superman to fight.
