I'd love to see Johns and Frank's Brainiac storyline serve as the basis of the next Superman film (or the one after). I'd be fine even if it was loosely based off of it, but I doubt that'll ever happen since it would probably need Kara.

Just about every rumor surrounding the film has been debunked or confirmed here:

Didn't THR say Adam Driver was up for Luthor rather than Nightwing, but had scheduling conflicts which forced him to pass on the project?

Yep. Driver's involvement was mentioned in the same report that the Phoenix rumor was acknowledged. Some fans have speculated that Eh Maybe's earlier Nightwing scoop was based on that.
 
A good portion of the existing rumors surrounding the film have been debunked or confirmed here:

http://dccinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Batman_v_Superman:_Dawn_of_Justice/Rumors

Note: Contrary to what's been documented on this site, Joaquin Phoenix actually was considered for the role of Lex Luthor. That rumor was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter a little while back.

lol at the one with scoot mcnairy

"Scoot McNairy may be playing Dick Grayson/Nightwing, The Flash, Green Lantern, Shazam or Martian Manhunter"

That's my website haha!

Some guy called Lgspears is forever adding references to articles and stuff and finds some wacky rumours! I try to debunk as much as I can!
 
Rumor: Superman will die at the end of BvS, be absent for Justice League, and then a new, rebooted Superman (played by a different actor and part of a new continuity) will debut in Justice League 2, even though the film will still be part of the MOS continuity. Wait what?

Source: Tobias

Investigation: Tobias is a known troll who floods this forum every week with negative crap because he hated Man of Steel. Since Henry Cavill is signed to a 3+ picture deal, MOS was intended as a launchpad for the DC universe and it pulled in nearly $800 million in theaters and in Blu-Ray/DVD sales, you'd have to be smoking crack to believe they are going to recast the role before the DCU even gets off the ground.

Counter: Set photos hinted that BvS may take some cues from the Death of Superman storyline.

Conclusion: While we still know nothing of the plot, common sense will tell you that they're not going to kill off the central character in this series (unless it's to subsequently bring him back immediately like Kirk at the end of the last Star Trek movie). They're also not going to make a JL movie without Superman. He's one of the three key team members that people expect to see there. And Cavill will be playing him. Don't like him in the role? Fine, go watch the cartoons and leave us in peace.
 
It's time we bring this thread back to life. DO we even know the plot of this movie and the people that will absolutely appear in it?
 
No, we know nothing about the plot, or even who all is in the cast. Some of the supposed additions (Momoa, Fisher) haven't been officially announced by the studio. McNairy wasn't announced either, however, he confirmed in an interview that he is in the movie so he's in. We don't know who he is playing, however, he said that he was working out while filming BvS. This may or may not be a confirmation that he is playing a superhero or supervillain; he was talking about how energetic Snyder is and how he goes to the gym twice a day. He may have just meant that Snyder's intense workout inspired him to kick his own workouts up a notch. Or it could be for the role.
 
Okay I might have misheard this a while back but was there a rumour that Jessie Eisenberg was training in hand to hand combat? Which would lead you to believe that Lex Luthor gets physical. Battlesuit perhaps?
 
I remember reading that rumor. I'm pretty sure it was just a rumor though.
 
Roach or anyone else, please debunk that BAdassdigest story from Faraci about Batman being in his 50's in this movie!!!
 
Ben Affleck's Batman in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will reportedly have been at work for nearly thirty years and have a long history, including at least one dead Robin, according to Badass Digest.

Devin Faraci, a writer whose sources are typically solid, describes Batman as in his fifties and "still an urban legend, a creature of the night, and no one has ever taken his picture. But he's had plenty of adventures, and the Batcave includes a memorial centered around a tattered Robin costume."

Faraci notes that such a persona sets Batfleck apart from previous Batmen -- or indeed form Zack Snyder's Superman -- in that he's not involved in massive, property-destroying, attention-grabbing battles but is operating in secret and largely without appreciation (although a bat-signal in the Comic Con trailer certainly suggests he's got some fans at the police department).

This also jives with earlier rumors that Jason Todd would be a character referenced but perhaps not actually seen onscreen in the film. If there's a dead Robin shrine, it's likely it's Jason; Dick is too valuable an IP to kill offscreen and DC doesn't seem to know what to do with Tim Drake anymore. Damian Wayne is a possibility for the "current" Robin in the film, but it would require referencing Ra's al Ghul and Talia, who played a big role in The Dark Knight Rises, so it seems unlikely. More likely is that he's flying solo with no Robin, either after the loss of Jason or the retirement of Tim, and the "next" Robin doesn't exist yet in the film.

Of course, all of that is just speculation based on nothing concrete except a claim that there's a suit. For all we know, it could be Stephanie Brown's.

This information is something that the writer has apparently been sitting on for a while, but chose to come forward with after on-set photos of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne started to circulate online, and he looks surprisingly spry for a fifty-something-year-old.

Of course, Affleck is in truth only 41...

There's no real way to debunk it. The pics of Ben's Bruce don't look 50-ish to me but other than that we have no real evidence to the contrary.

I don't believe the rumor. When I examine rumors the first thing I ask myself is have I heard this somewhere before. When the rumor about the comic con "You are not alone" video came out...it sent my 'roach-sense' ablaze because I had heard that before...back when this movie was announced people put forth ideas of what the teaser would look like.

The other thing I look at is the wording...and this becomes very important when dealing with costume rumors...vague wording and the use of 'some sort of". There is a 'rumor' about the WW costume going around that seems accurate and used to prove a website's authenticity...until you realize they were being extremely vague about everything and they used the phrase "some sort of tiara", 'some variation of the red top"...these are not descriptions from someone that has sent the suit.

Okaaaaay. I see. You seem to know what you are talking about. We'll just see how this plays out like ChrisB said. Thanks for your insight.

If you step back and think about things you can cut the rumor from the truth. If I said describe the bat suit...you'd say: "Black and grey, short ears, black cowl and cape and gloves and boots, grey bodysuit, maybe a black bat, not heavy armored like the other suits. Very Frank Miller/Jim Lee."

Those are descriptive words.

Now time travel back before we saw the suit....if someone said this: "The costume will be some variation of the suit from the comics, it's very comics based and not like the Nolan suit"

Those are vague phrases. And when the suit comes out...'oh look we were right because it is like the comics and not like the nolan suit."

so back to the Faraci rumor...
We are expected to believe that Batman was an urban legend for all this time, going through multiple Robins...that to me is where it doesn't add up.

I actually never noticed that, I see what you mean. I'll try to remember that when more rumors come up and as for Faraci's, it's again starting to sound like a fake script rumor...
