The much-awaited DC Comics movie "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is getting companion books, which should arm fans of the knowledge they need before hitting the theaters to witness the cosmic clash of two of the most popular superheroes.

The first book is called "Cross Fire," which acts as an original prequel novel. According to Superman Supersite, this tie-in guide contains all there is to know about the events that took place before the film, making the transition smooth for moviegoers.

According to the description provided by Amazon, the action-packed "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" junior novel depicts the Man of Steel as the world's most popular superhero and the Dark Knight as crime-fighter from the shadows of his beloved city.

Minding their business and doing their job to protect citizens, the two "very different heroes" find themselves teaming up when Doctor Aesop escapes from Arkham Asylum and threatens to disturb the planet's peace. As they go about their mission, "a young boy is caught in the cross fire."

The cover for the "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice - Cross Fire" shows Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader in separate snaps looking all set and ready for action. Apart from this tie-in tale, two more books will be published but it will be all about the superheroes as individuals.
