I’m just going to warn you now, in case the headline wasn’t clear enough, that potential spoilers for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice follow. You can only watch a movie for the first time once and you can never un-read a spoiler.

That being said, let’s continue.
So, we know Superman and Lex Luthor will inevitably become rivals in the DC Cinematic Universe as Lex rises into villainy, but what is it that is going to set Superman off? What’s going to make him super mad at Lex?
Don’t mess with Superman’s mama. El Mayimbe, a usually reliable source in the comic book movie rumor mill, is reporting that Lex Luthor is going to kidnap Martha Kent.
Remember what happened when Zod simply threatened Superman’s mom? A small town was demolished. I think the entire world should seek shelter if this spoiler turns out to be true. Perhaps this is what will start to bind Superman and Batman into a team, rather than have them pitted against each other.
If Lex does, in fact, kidnap Superman’s mom, wouldn’t that imply Lex Luthor knows Superman is Clark Kent? It’s an interesting thought. Go ahead and theorize in the comment section based on what you’ve seen in trailers, now paired with this juicy info.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters March 25, 2016.
