Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice

[ZariusTwo]

Japanese tv spot (one new clip and a new shot, but that's about the extent of it)

We got our Robin questions answered.

Why can't we get a solid Dick Grayson/Robin in a movie? That is all I ask. Don't let a goofy Batman & Robin film prevent that.

[Leo656]

Just be patient. Nightwing is supposed to be a major player in the Batman solo films. Good stuff is in the mix homie.

Take this with a grain of salt, but there's possibility that Batman v Superman is going to have a Watchmen style montage sequence, which sets up the Justice League.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the opening scene of The Watchmen movie.



Imagine that but during the end credits.

[NinjaPug]

Yeah, I'm gonna ignore anything "reported" by El Mayimbe.

[Leo656]

F*ckin' Yahoo's been annoying all week, hyping these International Trailers with "New Footage!" that's so blink-and-you'll-miss-it that it's not even funny.

Ah well, almost home stretch now.

So, Leo, who do you think Jenna Malone is playing?

Babs Gordon? Carrie Kelley? Vicki Vale?

REALLY hoping we get Babs...

Arguably the BEST part of Watchmen.

Hopefully no one special. She got on my nerves in Hunger Games.

I honestly don't know, I haven't heard anything. I've heard LESS than nothing about Carrie Kelly, though, so I'd write that one off. The only people buying that rumor are people who still haven't figured out that the movie is NOT a direct adaptation of Dark Knight Returns. I mean I get it... they see the armor, they see he's fighting Superman, they see he's older, some people figure it's the exact same thing as the book, rather than just taking some visuals from it. I will be very surprised if there is a Carrie Kelly character in the movie, put it that way. I've heard Less Than Zero about that.

Babs having some sort of role is the most persistent rumor I've heard of those three, so maybe her? None of those characters are mentioned at all in the plot synopsis, though, so if any or all of them are in the movie, we're talking tiny cameos. Alfred is supposedly the only prominent member of Batman's supporting cast in the movie, and he actually has plot reasons for being there. Even the rumors I've heard about Babs being involved basically limit her role to simply illustrating that time has passed in this Batman's world since he started...

Spoiler:

The rumor being that Barbara, post-Joker shooting and still in a wheelchair, has grown up and replaced her father as Gotham City Police Commissioner. Jim Gordon is rumored to be dead in this universe, but the rumors don't get into how or why, which implies that it could either be incidental in the big picture, or simply an untrue rumor.

There's also the idea that she may appear in a flashback scene being shot and crippled by the Joker. One persistent rumor suggests that there may be a brief flashback montage of Joker's last big crime spree, the events of which - crippling Barbara and murdering Jason (and possibly Jim Gordon as well) - lead to him being locked up wherever he is at the start of Suicide Squad, and to Batman going into semi-retirement. Basically the scene would exist to link the two films and give some backstory on Batman's universe, and why he gave up being Batman for so long.

....So in theory, if Barbara's in the movie at all it could be literally for all of one minute, if that. I genuinely haven't heard anything but either of those rumors sound plausible. I wouldn't hold out hope for anything big, though.

If not Babs, maybe Vale. I could see Vale being present to cover either Lex's party where Clark and Bruce first meet, or the Senate conference where Superman has to defend himself for what happened in Metropolis. But again, in either case she'd be one reporter out of a roomful, with one or two lines.

Other than that who knows?

Its a shame Affleck changed his face, he looks really good for the role here. I hope in the sequel he's wearing the suit 90% of the time because he looks like a different person now.

[NinjaPug]

Allegedly there was a screening last night and this guy is answering questions about it. Allegedly.

OMG...^^This is so great. Ladies and gentleman; Plast-fleck is the new nostrils.

Beat me to it. I read about it on the Superman Homepage. http://supermanhomepage.com/news.php...17426#comments

They've apparently updated it with this, however:

UPDATE: We have received word from someone who actually worked on the movie that this "review" is false. As mentioned above, it's up to you whether you believe the above review or not.


I looked at a lot of the Q&A stuff he posted on his Reddit and it had me very confused. There were a ton of things that don't match the leak I have AT ALL, and the stuff that did match up could have been taken from the trailers. I wanted to believe it because it was so glowingly positive, but it started to fall apart right away the more he said.

Ah well. Some of the stuff he said was going to happen wasn't very good so I'm actually glad it's debunked.

Figured it was fake but haven't been following the production of this close enough to know if it was legit.

I did like hearing that there would be a flashback of Death in the Family and allusions to The Killing Joke though. Hate that those reports weren't true.

While the screen test may or may not have happened there is a report that Hal Jordan/Green Lantern will appear in the film and be portrayed by actor Dan Amboyer. As far as I know he is an unknown. Time will tell if he is the new Hal Jordan.

That news came from the alleged screening.

Who thinks Ben will be the next Keaton?

[Leo656]

Word going around is that there really WAS a screening of the movie but that this specific person's claims about what happens in the movie are false, despite containing kernels of truth. Supposedly the actual word of mouth coming out of the screening was indeed very, very good, however.

I have a huge problem that Yahoo and other sites are still making a lot of noise about the Reddit "leak" despite it more than likely being fake. I've seen that article repeated in multiple places, but only the Superman Homepage has a disclaimer that it's fake. The Homepage always has credible inside sources on any and all of these productions and is always among the first to shoot down false rumors early and often, so while their "inside source who worked on the movie" isn't named, if they say they have a guy and that guy in turn says the Reddit leak is fake, then there's no reason to disbelieve it, nor is there any reason for people to keep reporting on it. I hate internet "Journalism", there's no accountability and you don't have to make corrections or retractions, it's so bogus.

I also read the Hal Jordan rumor this morning, but as has already been pointed out, that was "revealed" at the same time and from the same source as lots of other false information. I'll say this much of what I know: There was absolutely nothing about Green Lantern or even Hal Jordan anywhere in the leak from the Spring. Now, back then they hadn't even announced any plans for Green Lantern at all as far as the upcoming DC films, so there's a chance they may have decided to add something after most of everything else was done, just to provide a more direct link to the JLA movie. I can see them doing that. But IF Green Lantern or even just Hal Jordan do show up, that was something they added literally at the very end, like 5 minutes ago. I won't be shocked if they do - recent rumors have it that now that they have an actual idea what they want to do with GL, DC/WB are thinking of downplaying Cyborg's overall importance to the League and making GL more prominent instead - but I'll believe it when I see it as far as anything for him in this movie goes.

Spoiler:

As far as the leak I have goes, it describes the state of the JLA at end of BvS as: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman united as the core of the League, Aquaman heading back to Atlantis but offering to help out if he's needed, Vic Stone is all messed up but isn't Cyborg yet, Flash is literally just a red blur on a screen, and nothing at all about GL, which I admit is weird.

Now, it's entirely possible that very, very recently, a decision was made to put Flash and GL more "front-and-center" in a brief scene at the very end of the movie. It would make sense, but given how we've very recently had people as high up as Affleck flat-out saying there's little to nothing of Flash or GL in the movie, like just a couple weeks ago, I just find it hard to believe. They might have decided to stick five seconds of Flash or GL in there, but I kind of doubt it.

I personally still feel like in the actual movie, Flash and GL will be hinted at or implied but not actually seen in full until the JLA movie. That's the plan they've been committed to for two years, it seems unlikely they'd shift gears at the last minute. It happens, but again, in this case I'll believe it when I see it.
