- Is the Joker in 'Batman vs. Superman'? Here's the Photo Sparking Rumors



- Aussie actor Callan Mulvey playing The Joker in the new Batman v. Superman movie?

- Is Callan Mulvey playing The Joker in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice?

A couple of weeks ago director of photography Larry Fong posted an image of a playing card to his Instagram account, sparking speculation as to whether The Joker might appear in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Well gossip site TMZ has seemingly picked up the ball and ran with it, speculating that 300: Rise of an Empire star Callan Mulvey – who has been cast in the film in what Warner Bros. has described as a newly-created character – is set to portray the Clown Prince of Crime.

How have they reached this conclusion? 1) Mulvey’s character is yet to be revealed on the IMDb; 2) He’s got scars; and 3) He’s Australian (as was Heath Ledger). So of course, he has to be The Joker, right? Anyway, the site put the question to the actor, who replied: “I can’t say anything, man. I’m sworn to secrecy. You’re going to have to wait and see.”

I hope Superman will be in this movie.

Who? Sony have the rights to Spider-man, dude.

Joker eh? That conjures up some ideas...




If only I had confidence that this movie would be any where near as good as World's Finest

- Rumor: Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman Outfit Will Include Pants And A Jacket

As usual, locate your local salt dealer. Actually, you should just buy a salt lick, because as Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice ramps up, the rumors are only going to pick up. The newest one? Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman outfit will be based on her 2010, pre-New 52 redesign, introduced in comic issue #600.

Booooo! Hissss! Bloody well hope not.

- WB’s ‘Justice League’ Plan: What We Know About Each Rumored Movie


Apparently, WB is going to lay out their plan for very quickly building the DC film universe with three films a year, starting in 2016 with “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

Much of what Finke revealed has been rumored for some time, but never put into such concrete terms. So while we can’t confirm whether you’ll see a Flash-Green Lantern team-up in 2017, we can tell you everything we know for sure about the rumored films.

Long story short: Somebody saw a big freakin Superman statue being erected in front of a green screen:





- Jason Momoa will play Aquaman in 'Dawn Of Justice,' and we know how it will happen

So remember a few weeks ago when Jason Momoa made headlines because he said he was tired of being asked if he was going to play Aquaman in "Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice"?

Well, he's totally playing Aquaman in "Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice."

While Warner Bros. hasn't made that announcement officially yet, HitFix can confirm that he will be playing the part, and that Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon.

Certainly an interesting Aquaman choice. Make me think we're getting beardy harpoon hand Aquaman.

I look forward to many more confirmations.

- Lex Luthor's Hairstyle & BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Scene Description

"It’s not Eisenberg’s typical curly look — it’s a bit longer, kind of loose and wavy, and it’s dirty blonde. Eisenberg’s Luthor has spastic mannerisms, like a 20-something guy that pounds energy drinks all day."

"Lex has a super modern-hip Facebook/Google style office with a basketball court, pinball tables, etc. Everyone looks ultra douchey and has bowties and blazers, etc. Lex is introduced in which he takes a basketball shot, and in the same motion, after draining the shot, turns around and shakes a senator's (?) hand, who is there to greet him. He looks like Kurt Cobain, and is a complete douche."

You'd really think this was just some web mark describing the cliché worst expectations of an Eisenberg Luthor. Or hope.

We all saw that coming. We all knew that the writers just said "Let's make Lex a modern billionaire, like Mark Zuckerberg" and the casting people said "Let's just hire that fake Mark Zuckerberg." And somehow, in the depths of their ignorance, they thought people wouldn't see so easily what they were drawing on. As if, somehow, people would go in and be amazed as this youthful and "new" Lex Luthor. He's young, he's edgy, he's cool, he's the fucking Facebook guy!

- HOT RUMOR! What's In Store For Ben Affleck's Batman

According to sources, I'm hearing the studio is eyeing 2019 for the standalone Batman film and I even got a working title: THE BATMAN.

Let's break it down. Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice League should be ending production in December, then they break for the holidays and go into production on Justice League in the winter of 2015.

Affleck then takes a break from donning the cape and in the summer of 2015, he writes, directs, and stars in his period gangster film Live By Night. The film's scheduled to hit theaters in October 2016. The studio has the time after Live By Night's release to develop the screenplay to the standalone Batman film ready to start production either in 2017 or 2018. It wouldn't surprise me if they actively start developing the script after Justice League or sooner.

The question is whether Affleck will direct the stand alone Batman film. It is a good possibility since Affleck is now one of the studio's signature stars headlining as one of its signature characters whose last directorial effort Argo took home the best picture Oscar. Remember, Affleck's deal to play Batman took months for his agent at WME and attorney at Ziffren to close. Perhaps the contract contains a clause or a separate rider in his deal for directing services.

While I did say that I would ultimately reserve my judgment for when I see the movie, I can't say that I'm really liking the overall direction. I'm not sure what to think in regards to Jason Momoa as Aquaman, but with the Ben Affleck stuff regarding Batman, they really are trying to jump steps ahead. For Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor, I'm really skeptical of it. Personally, I'd like to see more of the Clancy Brown version of the character from Superman: The Animated Series.

- Daniel Radcliffe: ‘I could be Robin, I’m perfect’

In a “rapid fire” Q&A with Buzzfeed, the Harry Potter star was asked if he’d ever be willing to appear in another franchise. He said yes, and the host responded by asking which one.

“Batman. If they reboot that again I’ll do that too,” Radcliffe said when asked which franchise he’d like to appear in. “It’s happening, isn’t it? With Ben Affleck. I could be Robin, I’m perfect.”

Equal parts repulsed and intrigued.

- 'Justice' is served with another helping of Superman

When developing Man of Steel, Snyder didn't harbor dreams of one day putting Batman on screen, too — he figured he'd one day tackle an adaptation of Frank Miller's seminal 1980s masterpiece The Dark Knight Returns, which pits a retired Batman against government agent Superman.

It ultimately made sense with Dawn of Justice to add Bruce Wayne and his cowled alter ego to the mix. Because of Christopher Nolan's recent Dark Knight trilogy, "I was in no rush to put Batman in the movie," Snyder says, "but on the other hand it seemed organic the way our story was unfolding to start to feather him in."

Instead of using several movies to define Affleck's Batman, Snyder felt the character's 75-year mythology is so deep in culture now that they can just jump to an older, road-weary take on the Dark Knight. Plus, he says, "it's cooler to see a crusty old Batman beating the snot out of guys."

The director can't say exactly how the relationship between the two superheroes evolves, "but suffice it to say there is a 'v' in between their names" in the movie title, Snyder says. He explains that having the "v" instead of "vs." is a way "to keep it from being a straight 'versus' movie, even in the most subtle way."

Snyder's only done a few scenes so far with Cavill and Affleck together, but the historical significance isn't lost on him, he says. "It's never really been done and it's kinda cool."

More in the link. Pretty light and fluffy stuff.


Nice one!

Doesn't seem like a whole lot of difference. Still no pants. Boo!

- Fake 'Batman v Superman' Script Written and Leaked by Kevin Smith?

I guess I haven't been reading the right gossip sites - I haven't seen very many of these easter egg rumors. If it's true - and they're lacing the decoy script with character references that won't make the final film - they might just be playing with fire. Interesting.

- New ‘Batman v Superman’ Photo Proves We’ve Learned Nothing From ‘Man of Steel’

I thought this was a nice commentary RE: the new photo.

- Of Course Kevin Smith Didn’t Write a Fake ‘Batman v Superman’ Script and Leak It

There’ve been a few movie websites reporting I might’ve been involved in a BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE misinformation campaign, at the behest of Warner Brothers, director Zack Snyder and producer Chuck Roven. The idea was that everything I’ve ever said about the forthcoming big screen team-up of the World’s Finest is a carefully constructed web of intrigue to throw movie sites off the real track.

Since last year at this time, I’ve been enjoying an unexpected period of prolificacy with screenplays. It all started with CLERKS III and was followed by me finishing nearly 5 scripts in a year, including the fall release TUSK. After TUSK, I penned ANTI-CLAUS (formerly COMES THE KRAMPUS) and a sitcom pilot that’s now seeing some action (both co-written with Professor Andy McElfresh from the EDUMACATION podcast). Then I wrote YOGA HOSERS and now I’m in the middle of MOOSE JAWS.

However, none of those has been a fake BATS v SUPES script. C’mon, kids... No major studio would let a guy like me near their franchises – even if it was for a dummy script meant solely to fool the news sites. (Don’t know if it’s true or not, but this Twitter user is claiming credit for a fugazi script that’s currently being reviewed online.)

No, anything I’ve said about “Milo and Sage” was based on an image Zack showed me while hosting a MAN OF STEEL online event at Yahoo many months back. The little I know of the flick beyond that I learned from some cats involved (though never BatFleck himself; as I’ve said a few times now on the Babble-On podcast, beyond email, I haven’t spoken to Ben in years). Fun story, though.

New official image of Ben Affleck as Batman (image is much bigger if opened in a new window):

So Wondie has been revealed. And she looks ok. I think?

Noticed that she's got heels and a lack of muscle. But the costume looks like Wonder Woman at least.

Still nervous as all hell for the movie because DC or WB dont make good comic book movies often and this movie has sounded like a clusterfuck from day one.

Here you go:


Personally I think she looks good. Considering how thin Gal Gadot is in the Fast and Furious movies, i was concerned she wouldn't really look the part.

You guys see the leaked ComicCon trailer yet?

My feelings toward Wonder Woman are so entrenched in the unlikelihood of finding a quality mortal actress who really embodies the character that I think this is pretty cool. She's a little slight. I'd like to see some more color in the costume. It's a nice, sincere effort, though. A lot of it is going to be in how she carries herself on screen, and with any luck they'll pull that off. I expect the material itself to be dour and lacklustre, but somebody might pick up that slack if Wonder Woman finds her way to her own film.

Hard not to get a buzz from the teaser trailer. It's not quite DKR and that's a bit of a shame, but it's a classic moment on screen. Look forward to seeing a better quality version.







Seriously, Supes. If you're gonna eyeball dudes in the dark, you've really got to put some pants on. The naked Blue Man routine just doesn't fly, mate.

You see, the thing is I see this a lot out there, Am I the only one on the internet that sees this picture of Wonder Woman is like in a sepia tone/colour scheme. The Batman reveal was B+W I believe. And Superman's reveal was stylised I believe, so WW is in Sepia.

The costume is gonna be Dark Red and Blue and Gold but they aren't showing it off yet.

Loving gadots costume and look..Glad there going with the sword and shield look! Hopefully this silences a few critics.
