After the latest installment in the "Star Wars" franchise premiered last month, moviegoers are now counting down to the premiere of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." The upcoming film will be laying down the groundwork for the DC cinematic universe, which includes a Justice League movie, a Wonder Woman movie, and many more.

Since the movie was announced, fans have taken to the Internet to search for spoilers. Toward the end of 2015, several spoilers came up courtesy of a Reddit user who claims to have seen an advance screening of the film.

According to Reddit user ViolatingNDA, the movie was "very long, almost as long as [Star Wars: The Force Awakens] if I were to make a comparison." The Reddit user, who claims to be a DC Comics fan, added that while the film was long, every minute of it was used to great effect and that the movie didn't drag on with it its storyline.

Other spoilers that were revealed on the Reddit post were about certain characters, such as Lex Luther (Jesse Eisenberg). Lex is said to be more complex in this film than what is shown in the trailers.

"You will hate him, but at the same time, you can't help admire how capable this guy is," said ViolatingNDA.

Perhaps one of the biggest spoilers that was revealed in the post was about Jena Malone's character. While it was previously announced that the "Hunger Games" actress will be in the movie, no details have been given about the 31-year-old's role.

The Reddit user said that Malone will play a crippled Barbara Gordon. In the DC comics, Barbara, who is Commissioner Gordon's daughter, was shot in the hip by The Joker and this caused her to become paralyzed from the waist down. Barbara then turns into the Oracle, a tech genius who helps the Justice League and Birds of Prey.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" premieres on March 25.
