BvS All Things Superman and Batman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 81

[Mr. Gatsby]

Not only am I grateful that we're seeing these two go head to head on the big screen finally, but that there is some very talented people bringing it to us. Remember that BvS film from ten years ago or so where it had Bruce getting married and (if I'm not mistaken) the Joker at one point kills Bruce's fiance and makes it look like Superman killed her, causing the two to fight? Wasn't Bale tapped to play Superman and Josh Hartnett was going to portray Batman? Even if I'm wrong, there seemed to be some highly questionable story decisions behind it, and I doubt it would come close to the way BvS will look visually. With Dawn of Justice, they've got a great visual director who knows the source material inside out and isn't afraid of taking panels from the books and putting them on paper in Snyder, a (very) talented cast, an Oscar winning writer (who "crushed" the script), and possibly most importantly of all a plan. Snyder and co. aren't the first to attempt a BvS film, but the seem to be the first that are in the right mindset while making it.

I think the only real teases today we got were Kevin Smith once again reiterating that the WB panel tomorrow morning is the place to be and the trades expecting something too. I pray to Zod Finke's scoop is legit.

I'm not there. I am going through all my emails, friends sending me tons of pictures. So I basically sort through thousands and choose the best pics to share.

Even though I'm not a fan of the logo, the Bat emblem is kick***.

Yes sir.

 

[Deserana]

Cool cheers I just checked up on it didn't realise there was no solo Batfilm in it

Finke's scoop:

We know that Warner Bros Pictures is way behind Marvel Studios when it comes to making movies out of its comic book properties. But I have intel on what is coming up at this July’s Comic-Con from the studio. A lot of stuff remains in flux but my sources have so far:

May 2016 – Batman v Superman
July 2016 – Shazam
Xmas 2016 – Sandman
May 2017 – Justice League
July 2017 – Wonder Woman
Xmas 2017 – Flash and Green Lantern team-up
May 2018 – Man Of Steel 2

There had been talk of a Metal Men and Suicide Squad movie for sometime in 2016 but that project fell off the schedule.

Meanwhile, if you were wondering why Batman v Superman was delayed, it wasn’t the script or Ben Affleck or Jesse Eisenberg but with the fact that this pic will act as a launching pad for the Justice League. According to my source, "Like Marvel’s The Avengers, there will be cameos of superheroes for future installments. The cameos will include the already known Cyborg and Flash. Green Lantern [not played by Ryan Reynolds, thank god] may be introduced. And Aquaman will be seen in the Justice League movie. Problem is, Warner Bros Pictures was still negotiating with the actors for those cameos and future roles, meaning major contracts for multiple JL/character films to follow. The studio didn't want to move forward until they had more of this secure so they held off starting production for a few months. Seemingly simple reason, but the implications are pretty darn huge."

Ah man, that Kris Anka WW statue. I need it desperately.

Wow... That's not a scoop. That's the whole dam gallon bucket of ice cream.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Wow... That's not a scoop. That's the whole dam gallon bucket of ice cream.

Well in that case, we better get some damn ice cream tomorrow!

 

[Mr. Gatsby]

I'm sure a solo Batman film would come out in 2018 or 2019. Only one out of three films in 2018 are revealed, and if they wait until 201/2019 it gives Affleck time to work on some of his pet projects. Perhaps after JL he'll go write/star/direct a film of his own, then go work on a solo Batman film (hopefully he directs one too).

I forget what thread I read it in, but someone said Finke has had a history of executives purposefully leaking stuff to her to get the word out early. I haven't heard of that happening before and I'm not sure how credible it actually is, but it gives me another small glimmer of hope that she's right.

It happens but you don't notice it...whenever there is a casting that is not announced by the studio (Momoa as Aquaman...Terrio writing BvS) its via back channels
