***WARNING: Possible spoilers. Please proceed only if you don't mind spoiling the movie.***

It's a common trend for toy companies to make toys in line with hit movie releases and a newly-released toy might give away a possible spoiler to “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

While the promotional items released for “Batman V Superman” have included images and videos that are centered on the titular and main characters Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), not as much importance has been given to other characters in the film.

To date, Batman has been shown to have the most costume changes, Screen Rant reported. So far, there's the standard Batsuit, an armored Batsuit, a desert variety and, of course, Bruce Wayne. Now, new images have surfaced, giving possible hints that another character that has more than one get-up.

Photos of a new action figure, as seen in an Idle Hands blog, showed Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) donning a robotic suit that appears to be more hardcore than Batman's new armor.

Although some toy elements are exaggeratedly made just for the sake of fun (and not as actual movie/show releases), the toy blogger has noted that the toy has been made by Mattel and that there's an important detail found in the chest area of the alleged robotic suit that Luthor has.

The chest area appears to have a logo of LexCorp, which is Luthor's company in the movie. Here's how the website explained why this mech-suit could make an appearance as a possible threat to both titular characters:

“One thing that stands as a strong argument for this being in the film...if a toy company was going to make up a power suit for Lex to wear while fighting our heroes in an imagined moment in the film, why would they go through the trouble of putting Lex's company logo on the chest? Why bother...unless it was a detail from the movie and they were going for authenticity....”

Not only that, adding this new detail will make for a great selling point. As such, the toy blogger believes “there's a 75% chance we get to see this battle between Robo-Lex and both Superman and Batman...”

The website has more photos but, so far, this is not confirmed yet. Fans better wait for the movie to see what's really going to happen.

“Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” premieres in theaters March 25, 2016.
