Eighteen months after the devastating clash in Metropolis depicted in Man of Steel (2013), Superman has become a polarizing figure. Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck), the billionaire vigilante known as Batman, has been operating in Gotham City for nearly two decades and holds Superman responsible for the widespread destruction and loss of life during his confrontation with General Zod.

Clark Kent (Henry Cavill), under his civilian identity as a journalist for the Daily Planet, perceives Batman as a dangerous vigilante and sets out to expose him.
