BvS The BvS Rumor/Speculation Discussion Thread! - Part 2

[dhandler01]

Agreed.

The white martian storyline from Morrison's JLA should work, if they want to go that way (although that might not work initially...since the League in that story line was composed of experienced members).



Well, to know what he's doing, he has to gain experience, and that takes time. In the new 52, they simply skipped 5 years - so we had a more experienced Superman. Doubt they will do the same in the movieverse - BvS seems to happen right after MOS.

I dont think it happens right after, even at the end of MOS Metropolis looked like it was in pretty decent shape. Add in that Lois and Clark are living together and I would guess it has been at least a year to a year and a half later.

I am not saying Clark should be the Reeve version of perfection but we already had Superman Begins we saw Clark's baby steps from alien with no path to Earth's Savior. He can have moments where he is unsure of what his role is (like the scene with Lois from the trailer) but overall he should be saving people and doing what is right. If anything I would rather he be a bit overconfident, trying to do too much which gets him in trouble over making rookie mistakes.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Yeah, Metropolis looks to have been rebuilt to a great degree and that statue was put up. Then there is Lois and Clark living together. I think some time has passed.

 

[Tra-El]

Even at the end of MoS when Clark arrives at the Daily Planet, time has passed. When Clark is talking to Ma Kent at Jonathan's grave, he's telling her how he has to find a job to where he has to keep his ear to the ground. It's kind of foreshadowing in storytelling at that point. I can see by the end of MoS that about a year has passed between Zod's battle and him finally getting a job at the Daily Planet and about 2-3 years once BvS/Batman enters the picture. I'd think between that 1-2 year gap, the public has some time with Superman roaming around to get a full feel for him before a new threat arrives. The jury is still out on Supes. Looking forward to seeing that story play out and I hope Supes is handled properly in that regard.

So anyone rember this Faraci rumours

Spoiler

Rumour 1
Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:
Batman v Superman opens with Batman's origin and fast forwards to Bruce Wayne coming to Metropolis during the Superman/Zod fight, but that's just setting the stage for that character. From there the script turns its attention to Superman heavily, and it examines the implications of Superman in the real world. The main action takes place a couple of years after the end of Man of Steel, and Superman has been busy in the meantime, becoming the hero we know and love. Clark Kent and Lois Lane have moved their relationship forward to the point where they live together. Clark is still working at the Daily Planet, although it's unclear if he's loving his assignments - he's tasked with covering a Metropolis/Gotham football game when he would rather be writing about Batman.

Very early in the film Lois is in the Middle East following a story when Superman shows up to help her out. This becomes something of an international incident as other nations view Superman as a tool of the United States. China, for instance, doesn't want him in their air space. It's an interesting look at how a being like Superman would be viewed on a global scale.

What are the lessons that Superman learned from Man of Steel? Some slight spoilers follow.

When Superman confronts a big bad guy and unravels his plot, he tells the villain, "I won't snap your neck, I'm going to take you to prison," an on-the-nose response to criticisms of the first movie. Of course Superman later loses his cool and threatens to break the bad guy's back, so he hasn't quite internalized everything yet.

As for being a protector of the people - when the Doomsday fight starts General Swanwick tells the military that Superman will move the battle away from populated areas because he's a hero, and that's what heroes do. Again, this is a direct response to complaints about the first film. It's also interesting to see that Swanwick, who was tracking Superman with drones at the end of Man of Steel, is such a supporter in this film. It seems that most people - except Lex Luthor and a cautious Batman, who is prepping anti-Superman weapons - believe Superman is a hero.



Rumour 2
James Gordon is dead

Rumour 3
In Batman v Superman Superman is no lackey of the government; if anything many of the world's governments distrust the guy. But it is Superman who goes to Gotham and starts the confrontation... at the behest of Lex Luthor. And unlike The Dark Knight Returns, Superman comes out swinging, pulverizing the Batmobile with one punch. Why would Superman do Lex Luthor's bidding? What is Lex hoping to accomplish? That would be spoiling. But know that when the fight is over, Batman will be able to point to Superman and say, "He started it!"

Rumour 4
Doomsday is in the movie.

Rumour 5
Aquaman is barelypresent, showing up only in a survey of metahumans by Lex Luthor and then again at the very ending, when Batman recruits him for the Justice League (see: Dawn of Justice as the title).Flash,Cyborg are also just small roles.

The bolded part of rumour 1 was confirmed but that cld easily be Faraci making an educated guess.

Rumour 3 is entirely false from what we know now

 

[matt47]

How is Rumor 3 known to be false? That actually sounds plausible.

It says Superman starts the fight with Batman.But thats not true and we know that.Batman starts the fight because he fears Superman going evil.

But we assume that their first confrontation is Superman going up to Bats in the Batmobile, like in trailer, then Batman plans the second "fight".

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Devin was working from the debunked false script though.

That's the thing. All the destruction took place in a concentrated area..so, it's possible that the construction is still going on (and as far as we know, DP building wasn't affected).

Anyways, I just hope they don't skip too far ahead. 1 year sounds about right (although it does beg the question - what was Bruce doing for an year? Just training and learning more about Kal?).

 

[KillerWolf]

I am pretty sure this is the place where majority of destruction happened:

And they built a memorial for those who died during "Black Zero event", as names are engraved on those pillars behind Superman statue.

Hmm, it's possible.

If that is the case, they didn't do much rebuilding. Just covered the place with concrete and built a memorial statue.

 

[KillerWolf]

Pretty much, yeah. So if we're going by this, it wouldn't take much time from MOS to have this built.

 

[WoodyROM]

That's an interesting thought, and gives credence to the perceived quick rebuild. I like it Wolfie!

 

[Charlatan]

especially if Supes was involved with the cleanup. He scans for any survivors or bodies. Removes them then reduces everything to dust with heat vision.

Warner Bros clearly has big plans for its growing DC movie universe, with next year's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice and Suicide Squad to be followed by Justice League, Wonder Woman and Aquaman. There's also the small matter of Ben Affleck's stand-alone Batman film, which he'll write and direct.
We've now heard, however, that Affleck's role in the DC movies is about to get even bigger.
According to an industry source who will remain anonymous, a cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice was screened for the film's crew and Warner bosses within the past 24 hours or so. "It's a near finished cut but not locked," our source tells us.
That screening was, we're told, a glowing success - to the point where Zack Snyder's movie received a "standing ovation".
Warner is said to be so impressed with Affleck's performance as Batman that it's apparently in the process of making an extended, "Golden deal", which could see the actor play the Caped Crusader in a trilogy of stand-alone movies, not the single outing already announced.
All told, this deal could see Affleck in the role of Batman for the next 10 years or so.
"Basically, Warners are now working their movie universe around Ben's Batman," our source says.
As far as Warner's bosses are concerned, Affleck is considered to be the "definitive Batman" and could be the hub around which the DC movie universe will rotate in future movies.
Of course, this is all unconfirmed at this point, but if there's truth to the story, it's likely that an official confirmation will emerge fairly soon. We'll keep you posted as and when we hear more.

If even part of that is true...oh my! The fact that they delayed his non DC properties tends to lend credence...

It's obvious WB's wants to make room for Affleck to work on filming JL and keep writing and prepping his solo BatFlick. Just hope Terrio has a pass at the script for Affleck and Johns story.

Positive signs! t:

Who will be the main baddie in the solo BatFlick??

Hmm.....

Whoa I didn't notice that, nice! Im just consistently surprised by how deep this film is going to be.

They gotta go all out! Joker takes over the asylum and breaks out all the big baddies!

 

[Marz69]

...and forms the legion with good ole Lex HAHAHAHA

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Just thinking... What if Batman gets access to the tech recovered from the scout ship? The ship had those hibernation pods. Could Batman use Kryptonite and some other means as a way of weakening Superman enough to get him into one of those pods and put him to sleep?

I call BS on this, because it's too soon to be making such decisions before BvS even comes out. If BvS is as big of a success as they are hoping then this may become a possibility but until then I for am not believing it.

 

[kguillou]

I dunno if Affleck would even want to be committed to that many movies though. He's already contracted for BvS and two Justice League movies in the next 5 years...now they're gonna add 3 Batman films to it? That'd make his schedule REALLY full and not really give him time to work on his pet projects which I'm sure is the reason he took the deal in the first place; so that he'd have the money and carte blanche to do what he wanted in his downtime between BvS and JL movies.

 

[matt47]

All depends on how many movies he will be directing. That takes up a whole lot more time than just acting.
