But, Ive got some further info to share. I was waiting to get final verification this week before I broke the bad news and Ive gotten it. I really wanted my readers to hear it from me
Tom Welling is completely out of the running for Superman.
We first heard this from the same source that first confirmed him to us, I then confirmed it with 3 other studio sources. I am asking for an explanation but they have not been able to give me one quite yet.
What happened? I dont know, I really dont. He was the shoe in. I am lost for words. Why did he not sign? He was the favored pick. Was it scheduling? Was it something else? All we know is the negotiations went south. We will do some digging and try to find out why the deal didnt go through and let you know as soon as we do.
Does this mean Routh is in? I am looking into it. I heard he had talked to someone from WB as recently as this week but that could have been about anything. No one is talking at this point, I will let you guys know as soon as I hear something concrete.
So the dilemma is do you recast and have a new Supes on JL (which would bring our current # of Supes to 3) or bring in Routh? With the production start date quickly approaching, theyve got to come up with something quickly.
Now, as for Batman, in my original Welling post I mentioned a bit about Batman, but wasnt willing to confirm the name just yet. However, my message boarders got the best of me and I soon announced that it was Oscar nominated actor Ryan Gosling whose name had been thrown around the WB offices to fill the Bats shoes.
Now dont go posting that IESB said Ryan Gosling has been cast as Bats. He hasnt. But, from what Ive heard hes at the top of a very short list. Hes a bit lanky to pull off Bruce Wayne but considering this is Justice League and we only ever see the Super side of our heroes, a well made rubber suit can take care of that.
One more thing that has a lot of people wondering, what happens to the Bryan Singer Superman sequel Man of Steel? Well folks, its been pushed back indefinitely. Variety called it taking a backseat but my inside source says it will at least be a few years before we see any movement on that end.
So there you have it. Welling is out (unfortunately) for Superman, Gosling is the favored for Batman and Man of Steel is indefinitely postponed.
I guess theres some light shining through at the end of this dark day..
... he's starting filming on a new film very soon. Look like we will have a 3rd player...
