BvS What do we really know?

[Rocketman]

I don't think they are gonna run out of characters

I understand that, but not 10 of them at one time.
And be honest with yourself - we're not getting Red Tornado or Metamorpho in a movie, ever. Hahaha.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Rex? No. Reddy? Well, he's very much a JL character, so as Pa Kent says... Maybe.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

I can't believe WB would go all-out and just have all major members of JL in one go. I'm shocked. It's so many characters. You essentially need Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern. You can EASILY have a thick movie with just them. All this talk of Cyborg, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter... you don't need THAT many characters for a first film. Like, damn. Save some members for a sequel.

I'm with you...

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Le bump.

Momoa and Fisher OFFICIALLY confirmed to be playing Aquaman and Cyborg while Ezra Miller will be playing the Flash!

An Aquaman solo film would be insane. And it's going to happen. DC are finally getting their show on the road in a big way. Obviously pumped about Batman and Superman solo flicks, but Aquaman, Flash and WW movies are long overdue. Especially WW. Exciting times indeed.

Yeah, I take back what I originally said in this thread. Screw it. We're getting all the big Leaguers in one go. Let's do it!

I'm also excited at the notion that WB will beat Marvel Studios to the punch on:

- The first major female led superhero film
- The first major African-American led superhero film
- The first Samoan led superhero film

I don't think Elektra/Blade/Catwoman really count anymore, especially in terms of major superheroes. I'm absolutely thrilled and proud of WB.

I won't lie though - I REALLY want a She-Hulk movie, and Black Widow, Spider-Woman, and Captain Marvel are all welcome by me. I'll be there opening night if they do it.

don't forget
- The first openly gay actor cast as a superhero

- The first openly gay actor cast as a superhero

Oh yeah!

Man, they're really taking the genre to the next level, based on that alone.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

First openly gay actor cast as a MAJOR superhero AND as the lead in his own film.

 

[Klidokrator]

don't forget
- The first openly gay actor cast as a superhero

What about Sir Ian?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

What about Sir Ian?

Superhero.

 

[Klidokrator]

Superhero.

Cool. . (Even though what is a superhero is very debatable)

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Cool. . (Even though what is a superhero is very debatable)

I'd say dudes that try to repeatedly kill the film's heroes can easily be put into the VILLAIN box. That's me.

 

[DC2739]

So do we know if the whole Kevin Smith faking a script is real or not? And if it is, should we disregard every rumor that comes out since then?

Smith denied writing a fake script. The only fake script out there was the one written by the guy he mentioned when he denied it. That's the script that fooled all the "scoop" sites.

Ugh...if only people would read.

 

[DC2739]

APPARENTLY DARKSEID and MARTIAN MANHUNTER are CONFIRMED..

I am super happy if this is true. Hope they don't go JL: War route ..

MoviePilot is as reliable as Cosmic Book News. I'd stay far away from them.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

SonofArrogance I believe was the writer of that fake script. I will never forget the Twitter convo between him and Eh Maybe.

 

[DC2739]

With the revelation that Warner Bros has been actively sending out mis-information, including a fake script written by Kevin Smith. It's now time to re-evaluate what we really know about this film.

What we know:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/official-warner-bros-reveals-batman-589527
July 20th 2013...Zack Snyder announces Batman vs Superman at Comic con.
Zack Snyder will be directing the film and Henry Cavill is set to reprise his role as Clark Kent. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane will also return for the film.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ben-affleck-is-batman-man-612907
Aug 22nd 2013...WB announces that Ben Affleck is the new Batman.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/warner-bros-finds-wonder-woman-661991
Dec 4th 2013...WB announces that Gal Gadot will be Wonder Woman in BvS.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/batman-superman-chris-terrio-write-666735
Dec 18th 2013...The Hollywood Reporter got an exclusive that Chris Terrio, who wrote Argo, is writing BvS. Months later WB confirms this.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jesse-eisenberg-cast-as-lex-676043
Jan 31st 2014...WB announces that Jesse Eisenberg is the new Lex Luthor. They also announce that Jeremy Irons will be the new Alfred.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-superman-movie-finds-cyborg-698835
April 24th 2014...THR confirms that Ray Fisher will be Cyborg. WB hasn't confirmed.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ben-affleck-batman-photo-703629
May 13 2014...Zack Snyder tweets the first look at Batman

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/jason-momoa-playing-aquaman-batman-711899
June 16th 2014...The trades 'confirm' that Jason Momoa is Aquaman...I placed confirm in quotation marks as WB hasn't announced it. THR got the Chris Terrio rumor right so I'll give this some credibility.

In regards to Kevin Smith...it helps to do a tiny bit of research.

He denied this officially long ago. Time to move on.

SonofArrogance I believe was the writer of that fake script. I will never forget the Twitter convo between him and Eh Maybe.

Indeed he is. I'm friends with him on twitter and have read the fake script. I urge all of you to stay away from any site claiming to have script info. There are sites to this day *cough badass digest cough* that are still trying to hit-****e themselves out based on that fake script.

These sites are literally posting complete BS just to get clicks because they know how big the hype is for this movie.
