Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceis just mere days away from exploding onto screens across America and the rest of the world. This is going to be the superhero showdown of the year! And to get everyone ready, Warner Bros. andDC Comicsis really putting their pedal to the metal. Today, we have an epic TV spot that showsKal-Elhas finally met his match. We also get to see Wonder Woman back in action as she joins these two heroes in what will surely be one of 2016’s biggest blockbusters. But that’s not all!
The officialLex Luthor Websiteis live. And it appears that the company is gathering data through cognitive tests in an effort to build an operating system that can ‘behave more human’. What does this mean for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? We’re not sure. Here’s what the site has to say as it sets out to create a version of Apple’s Siri that behaves and thinks like a real person.
“Lex/OS Beta. Help us build a more human system. Innovation is a human instinct The desire to make our lives better and safer has driven innovation since man discovered fire. In the 21st century, we are innovating automation. An age of machines that will ‘think’ for us, freeing up brain power to tackle the world’s biggest questions. When machines behave like machines, they can be compromised. But when machines begin to behave more like humans, that complexity and uniqueness can make us more secure. Lex/OS is the world’s first neural network based operating system. We’re teaching it to think like a human, but we need your help. As a Beta Tester, your actions will teach the system how humans solve problems. Each time you participate, the system will get smarter. Ready to get started?”

Following his titanic struggle againstGeneral Zod, Metropolis has been razed to the ground andSupermanis the most controversial figure in the world. While for many he is still an emblem of hope, a growing number of people consider him a threat to humanity, seeking justice for the chaos he has brought to Earth. As far as Bruce Wayne is concerned,Supermanis clearly a danger to society. He fears for the future of the world with such a reckless power left ungoverned, and so he dons his mask and cape to rightSuperman’s wrongs. The rivalry between them is furious, fueled by bitterness and vengeance, and nothing can dissuade them from waging this war. However, a dark new threat arises in the form of a third man: one who has a power greater than either of them to endanger the world and cause total destruction.
