!!''Batman VS. Superman'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* BadassNormal: Batman, as per usual, but this time, he's joined by SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor as well.
* BigBad: Lex Luthor.
* CoolCar: The Batmobile, which bears greater resemblance to a car than the [[TankGoodness tank design]] of ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'' (though it does have armored plating).
* CoolVersusAwesome: It's Batman versus Superman! What else would you expect?
* {{Crossover}}: Between Batman and Superman. Ultimately, this would be an AvertedTrope, as this movie is trying to set up a shared cinematic universe for DC characters instead of creating an IntercontinuityCrossover.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: The producer and director have stated that they are drawing inspiration from ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightReturns'', indicating that Batman and Superman will have at least some kind of fight before sorting things out.
* SuperHeroOrigin: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Batman's origins will be discussed, but will not take up a huge focus on the film. {{Justified|Trope}} in that Batman's origin story [[Film/BatmanBegins had already been told not too long ago]], making an elaborate retelling unnecessary. It's more likely that the film will place a greater emphasis on Wonder Woman and Cyborg's origins, in part to familiarize audiences with the characters and to set up ''Justice League''.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Bruce Wayne, with an emphasis on tall - at 6'4", Ben Affleck is the tallest actor to play the character.
* TruerToTheText: The Batsuit looks closer to one from the comics than the armored suit from ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'' or the molded plastic suit from the [[Film/{{Batman}} Tim]] [[Film/BatmanReturns Burton]] and [[Film/BatmanForever Joel]] [[Film/BatmanAndRobin Schumacher]] films. Creator/KevinSmith says the new costume looks ''exactly'' like its comic counterpart when shown in full color.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Batman and Superman, two of the most iconic superheroes in the history of ever, finally meeting on the silver screen. Yeah, this trope applies.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Lex Luthor has a genuine concern to want the world to be rid of Superman - he blames him for the destruction of much of Metropolis. However, he's still a corrupt businessman that wants to maintain power over the world.
