Second fiddle
Obviously, Batman v Superman isn't all about larger than life superheroes trading punches. There are also some secondary characters who are worthy of mention. And the first one is Alfred, Bruce Wayne's butler.
Now we already know that Bruce Wayne isn't living in the mansion any longer and that Alfred has his own house now. However, the two are still cooperating, in order to take down the bad guys. As Jeremy Irons said on numerous occasions, this version of the character will be more hands-on than the previous versions. So, besides imparting the usual bits of advice that any old Englishman would, he will also aid Batman in his quests.
And the final trailer showing him remote-controlling the batwing "“ after all, even if he doesn't always see eye-to-eye with his master, he is more than willing to help.
Lois Lane is another secondary character about whom we could talk for a bit, even if it only adds to Clark Kent's story arc. Thus, the final trailer did show that they are an actual couple now, living together, and surprising each other in the most intimate ways. But this last trailer also revealed that, at some point (perhaps during the final battle), she will be in danger. Maybe Doomsday will connect the dots, and use her against the Man of Steel.
Is this a tease towards a Wonder Woman "“ Superman relationship, just like in the comics?
There is also one other character who could be mentioned, although we don't even know his name. This is the character portrayed by Scoot McNairy, who can be seen throughout all the trailers. He is legless, which probably means that he was hurt during the battle of Metropolis. Furthermore, people suspect that he is Jimmy Olsen, coming to testify in front of the Senate on Superman’s behalf.
We believe otherwise, since another, even more interesting, rumor says that he is a tool of Lex Luthor, testifying against the Man of Steel. What’s more, it is said that it turns out that this character explodes right in the face of Superman "“ literally, or figuratively? Lastly, this same rumor says that this will act as an origin story for another Superman baddie, Metallo.
