'Batman V Superman' Rumors, Spoilers, News: Lex Luthor to Kidnap Martha Kent?

'Batman V Superman' plans to establish their DC cinematic world by introducing a whole host of new heroes and villains.

Amongst these new characters is Lex Luthor, set to be portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg. There are still many speculators that aren't convinced just yet on how Eisenberg will work in a villain role, however a new rumor released by Heroic Hollywood would insist on the movie making this version of Luthor particularly sinister.

It's reported that the character will kidnap Superman's Earth mother at some point in the film, Martha Kent.

The news outlet draws reference to the scene in 'Man of Steel' where Superman reacts rather harshly to General Zod threatening his mother.

"Remember in Man Of Steel when General Zod and his crew went to Smallville to look for the codex on the Kent farm? Remember how Superman blew his stack, pummeled Zod through the grass and said, 'You think you can threaten my mother!'"

"A 7-11 & most of downtown Smallville were destroyed in the battle. Only because Zod "threatened" Martha Kent. So imagine what is going to happen to Lex Luthor for actually kidnapping her? I won't spoil when, how, or what comes of it (come on now, some spoilers are better left unsaid), but I expect Superman to be um, mad. Really REALLY mad," writes Heroic Hollywood.

It's safe to say that this adaptation won't see the two characters as friends.

Here's the synopsis:

"Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before."
