The “Dawn of Justice” treats for fans just keep on coming. Hours after the release of the first official photo of Superman (Henry Cavill), a new report says that Lex Luthor won’t be the only bad guy he will have to go up against: there will be at least another 3 villains.

That makes sense, if you think about it: when you have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg together, one single threat is not enough to make them show off their abilities in saving the world.

Latino Review says that these guys will battle at least 3 secondary villains and one opponent that hasn’t even been confirmed, let alone cast.

These are: Victor Zsazs, a seasoned killer whose weapon of choice is a knife, with which he also carves a tally mark on his own skin once the deed is done; Morgan Edge, described as Lex Luthor’s mouthpiece; and David Cain, “one of the world’s deadlines assassins.”

The antagonist is Amanda Waller, a “very stern and focused senator with an intimidating presence. She doesn't trust Superman. At all. Sees him as a threat and comes up with a counter measure.”

One of the things fans fear as regards “Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice” is that characters won’t be done right. If you add 3 more villains and an antagonist to the mix, you see the risks of doing a sloppy job go up.

What I’m saying is that, if all these baddies aren’t treated properly and are instead just tossed in there to make the movie more action packed, more “interesting,” audiences will eventually lose track of what’s happening on the screen in front of them. Those who hate Michael Bay’s movies for this very reason know what I’m talking about.
