One of the biggest weapons in Batman's arsenal is his mind, and Zack Snyder looks to convey that fact in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

When the director talked about one of their big fights in the film, he mapped out just how different their approaches are, and going into some detail as to why. (via Entertainment Weekly)

"Superman doesn't have to be as much of a chess player as Batman," says Snyder. Superman has might on his side, but before the fists start flying, we see an armored Batman placing various traps in an abandoned stockyard, then walking along and driving a Kryptonite spear into the ground. "He paces it off," Snyder says. "Then when he throws Superman, the spear is right there. So you're like, wait a minute, did he [plan] every bit? He know every move?"

Yeah, that sounds like Batman. Superman might have might, but if your opponent can out maneuver you, he has a punchers chance every time, no matter how many powers you possess. Snippets like this make me hopeful that Snyder can capture what makes both of these characters so enduring and iconic.

Also, where did Batman get a spear?
