almost certainly, but Aquaman gets a bad rap in the Justice League he could kick the crap out of half of them with out breaking a sweat.

I saw it yesterday. Liked the historical background aspects, but the storyline was shite and much of the actions scenes dragged on excessively.

Comic-Con 2013: Batman / Superman Film for 2015?
Flash races in 2016, Justice League may land 2017

Some potentially huge breaking news from inside Comic-Con today: according to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is set to announce that Henry Cavill?s Man Of Steel Superman will be teaming up with Batman in 2015, followed by a stand-alone Flash film in 2016 and the long-gestating Justice League in 2017.

Zack Snyder is set to direct the Supes/Bats team-up, which will be scripted by Man Of Steel collaborator David S. Goyer.

With Cavill back in the super-suit, the big question remains as to who will play Bruce Wayne/Batman, since Christian Bale has ruled out a return.

There are even fewer details thus far on the Flash and Justice League announcements beyond the release years, but with the Warner Bros./Legendary panel happening as we write this, expect more news to hit fairly soon today.

We have one of our best embedded in Comic-Con?s Hall H, so expect Empire?s team to bring you all the details once we have them?

Exclusive: Tyler Hoechlin Up For New Batman; Screen Test With Henry Cavill; Plot For New Superman/Bats Movie - Cosmic Book News

Exclusive: Tyler Hoechlin Up For New Batman; Screen Test With Henry Cavill; Plot For New Superman/Bats Movie

Last Saturday at Comic-Con following the Warner Bros. panel, attendees were graced with a surprise visit by Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and Harry Lennix announcing the next Superman movie.

Lennix read text from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel, and then a Superman/Batman logo was revealed to a stunned audience.

The audience quickly erupted with cheers of enthusiasm as Snyder revealed that the new Batman will be a part of the sequel to Man of Steel.

Our DC Entertainment source who provided us with first draft script details for Man of Steel, which included mention of LexCorps in the Metropolis skyline as well as the bus scene with Lana Lang witnessing a young Clark Kent using his super powers, has sent over some information on the upcoming as-of-yet untitled Superman/Batman movie.

Our DC Entertainment source also previously provided us with information on the Batman reboot, which was said to be in part based on the popular Batman Arkham video game franchise. That now looks to be adapted into the recently announced Batman: Arkham Assault animated movie slated for 2014.

We're told Warner Bros. didn't go forward with the Arkham adaptation because they want to get both Batman and Superman out into the cinema quickly. Also, that Snyder and Goyer plot-wise initially didn't have Batman vs. Superman, but since WB wanted to move things along they essentially are combining two films in one, with the movie having been in pre-production for a couple months (merchandising underway as well etc.). We're told, "Snyder is really loving building the DC Cinematic Universe."

9744 Regarding the new Batman, Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf, Lincoln Heights, 7th Heaven, Road To Perdition) is being heavily considered for the part and will be getting a screen test alongside Henry Cavill. Warner Bros. and Snyder are looking at somebody to play the new Batman with a reputation similar to Cavill's, when Cavill was testing for Superman. It's also said that better known actors could also be testing for the role. As filming is expected to begin in early 2014, screen tests should be happening soon.

Cosmic Book News is also told that the Superman/Batman movie will features villains (in the plural), with it currently thought that the Joker and Lex Luthor team up; however, the source said the villains are only known by a select few, but Luthor is all but guaranteed.

Regarding the plot of the film:

"The sequel is set a year after Man of Steel, and the world is still getting used to having this powerful god on the planet who isn't fully trusted by everybody. Batman certainly doesn't trust Superman. Superman doesn't trust Batman; either of which causes the two to clash when they initially meet. They do however pair up to defeat the villains (not 100% confirmed who the villains are). COULD be Luthor and Joker, but only a select few really know that. Luthor is definitely in the sequel and he doesn't like Superman, believing him a threat to the planet."

Previous to Comic-Con there was also rumor of a Justice League movie and a film for The Flash; however, Snyder only announced Superman/Batman.

We've been told there is a lot in the works being built up to Justice League, which will take place after Superman/Batman with The Flash possibly spinning out of that (the previous rumor said Flash before JL). Also, expect a lot of Easter Eggs to the Justice League members in Superman/Batman with characters like Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern getting referenced.

Our DC Entertainment Source also says it looks as if the Justice League movie will feature the DC Comics New 52 characters, which could mean no Martian Manhunter, but Cyborg.

JUSTICE LEAGUE FLASHPOINT PARADOX Interview With Superman Actor Sam Daly

JUSTICE LEAGUE FLASHPOINT PARADOX Interview With Superman Actor Sam Daly

Interview conducted by and copyright Edward Gross

Although Superman appears in an early sequence of the now available on Blu-ray/DVD/digital download animated film Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox in his classic form, he shows up again [SPOILERS!!!!] in a time-altered world, emaciated and having been held a prisoner under a red sun lamp. It's through the efforts of the Flash, Batman and Cyborg that he is freed and given the opportunity to do what he does best ? this despite all he's been through as a person. Particularly significant about this version of the character as well is the fact that he's voiced by actor Sam Daly, son of Tim who himself had started voicing the Man of Steel in the 1990s with Superman: The Animated Series.

In an excerpt from an exclusive interview, Sam reflects on the experience of portraying this iconic character, a fact he and his father have some fun with on their web series The Daly Show, the latest episode of which finds Sam being initiated into the elite club of actors who have played Superman, including guest stars Dean Cain and Brandon Routh.

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: Before we talk about anything else, I saw the episode of The Daly Show called ?The Supermen Dalys.? I?m convinced that you guys are insane.

SAM DALY: And you know what? I don?t think you?re far off from the truth [both laugh]. It?s all in good fun, as it should be.

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: How cool is it that you got Brandon Routh and Dean Cain involved? Seriously speaking, where else are you seeing Brandon Routh having fun with the Superman image?

SAM DALY: It?s so funny actually how we know them. My dad has actually known Dean Cain for a long time, because back when he was doing Wings, Dean was doing Lois & Clark and they knew each other. I remember we went to a Superbowl once when I was a kid, and Dean Cain used to play for the Buffalo Bills, so I met him when I was a kid. It?s funny that for the past five or six years I?ve played in this basketball thing that used to be called the NBA Entertainment League, and now it?s just called the Entertainment League, with both Brandon Routh and Dean Cain. My dad plays in it, too, and it?s a league filled with actors, comedians, musicians, producers, managers, directors?it?s really fun, because one week you?re playing with Brandon Routh and Dean Cain, and the next week you?re playing against Chris Brown. It used to be you?d play against Jaime Foxx and Adam Sandler and all of them, but these guys come and go every year. It?s fun, because I wouldn?t invite a friend to my old man?s basketball league, but when you?re playing against Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake, they?re, like, ?Oh, yeah, I?ll come by and check it out.? For me, meeting the other actors and celebrities is fun and everything, but it was really about meting directors and producers snd saying, ?Hey, wouldn?t you like to put me in your project?? From it I?ve made some amazing friends, and met such cool people like Dean and Brandon. And Brandon was so cool. When he came to shoot on our shoot day, he was so excited because this was the first time he had revisited his Superman role since Superman Returns. We were very hmbled and honored by the fact he would come and do it and mess around with us for an afternoon.

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: Don?t get me wrong, I think Henry Cavill is a great Superman, but I always felt that Brandon Routh got a raw deal because, unfortunately, he was in Superman Returns and they had to distance themselves from it.

SAM DALY: As do I. I think Brandon was an amazing Superman. Not only did he look the part well, but he was a great Clark and a great Superman. It?s weird how when the higher ups are relaunching something, you have to remove yourself from the last one. I?ll certainly never forget Superman Returns.

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: Alright, enough of this tangential stuff, let?s talk about you. Is there any special feeling that you?re following in your father?s footsteps with this character?

SAM DALY: Of course. He said it best at the 75th Anniversary Superman panel at Comic-Con, that it?s so incredible that we?re the first ever father and son in real life to be part of the Superman family in one way or the other. To be able to have that bond with such an iconic character is something that they can never take away from us. Again, it?s a humbling thing, because I grew up loving Superman so much, as did he. Now I get to actually put a voice behind him and the fact that my dad has done the voice for so long, is really an incredible experience. I?m so grateful and I hope to do lots more.

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: Did you have to audition for this? How did it come together?

SAM DALY: This was actually my first ever voiceover work. What happened is that the wonderfully talented Andrea Romano ? my dad had worked with her starting in 1996 ? became a big fan of The Daly Show and loved watching that. It?s sort of hard to ignore the fact that my dad and I do sound very similar to one another, so she called him up one day and said, ?Listen, I have this new animated movie. It?s a Justice League movie, but it?s mainly about the Flash. Superman shows up in a much smaller role.? She knew my dad was busy ? he was going back East last summer to do a play ? and she said, ?Would Sam be interested?? Luckily enough I was sitting in the car with him when she called and I almost jumped through the phone to say, ?Of course I am!? She brought me in, we hit it off, talked about it, did a few ADR sessions and that?s how it all went down. It was all thanks to the brilliance of the amazing Andrea Romano. I owe her everything.

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: When you read the script and despite the fact that Superman?s role is a pretty small one, were you able to get inside his head?

SAM DALY: To be honest, at first I was, like, ?Wow, he?s really weak and soft. Thanks, Andrea? [laughs]. Reading it, what?s so great about the Superman character in this one is that he has an interesting ? even though he may not have many words of dialogue ? arc in the movie. He starts off and he?s classic Superman. He?s huge in the first scene; he?s the extra-bulky Superman. But then in this alternate world to have this sort of weaker, frail Superman is such a different side that we?re not used to seeing him as. And through it all to overcome the obstacles and rise up again and become the Man of Steel and save the day in some way, was really something that I could tap in to as an actor to bring my voice to that and try to give him a little bit of an arc. Through it all at the end he comes back as hero and friend and preserves truth, justice and the American way. I really saw it as a challenge and saw it as something that, luckily, Andrea was able to help direct me through. I also learned that I could grunt in many different ways [laughs]. That?s what you learn quickly doing the voices of superheroes.

Is Josh Brolin Now Unlikely For Batman In SUPERMAN/BATMAN; A New Name Rises For The Role Of Batman

Is Josh Brolin Now Unlikely For Batman In SUPERMAN/BATMAN; A New Name Rises For The Role Of Batman

With the announcement of the Superman/Batman movie coming in 2015 from a couple of weeks ago at Comic-Con, many have wondered who will be the next Batman? Many fans had hoped that the rebooted Batman would be a younger Batman that is earlier his career but instead it seems like we may get a more experienced and older Batman. A list of actors who are rumored to play Batman has been revealed. The list included Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, and many others. It is said that Josh Brolin is currently the front runner but it doesn't seem like he will do it. Here is what they say about Josh:

From what I am hearing the frontrunner. Hot choice. If a nasty, edgy, Frank Milleresque bone breaking Batman is what Zack is looking for, well then this is the guy. The only thing that makes me think he won?t do it is because he went through a nasty divorce this year with Superman?s mom Diane Lane. Yes, I know they won?t have scenes together but there is a thing in pre-production called a table read with the whole cast which could be quite awkward. That and junket/premiere appearances can be awkward as well. I can be totally wrong but who knows.

So even though Josh Brolin is becoming a big fan favorite out of the list of actors who WB's is looking at, he may not do it due to his recent divorce to Ma Kent, Diane Lane. Since it's reported Diane Lane will be back as Ma Kent, it will be kind of awkward for Brolin to be in a film with his ex-wife. Personally Brolin is my pick for Batman out of that list of actors for the role but I can understand him not doing it.

So since Josh Brolin maybe out, who's in? Well the Latino Review is suggesting that Gerald Butler (300) is on the list to be the next to receive the cape and cowl:

Yes, the Spartan King. He?s another dope actor who got the height, presence, acting chops, and is a winstrol cycle away from being a physically imposing macho Batman. The only negative is his accent which my twitter followers have been giving me shit over. Remember though, Butler already worked with Zack in 300 and is coming off a hit Olympus Has Fallen, the movie that murdered White House Down.

So with Brolin may be out, we now have Gerald Butler added to the list.

Mark Strong hints at Lex Luthor 'Superman vs Batman' role - Movies News - Digital Spy

Exclusive: Mark Strong hints at Lex Luthor 'Superman vs Batman' role

Mark Strong has hinted that he will play Lex Luthor in Man of Steel's untitled sequel.

Following the release of Zack Snyder's film, it was strongly rumored that Superman's iconic nemesis would feature in the sequel, with Strong named as one of several contenders for the role.

Asked by Digital Spy whether there was any truth to the rumors, Strong responded: "All I can say is... watch this space."

It was announced at Comic-Con last month that the Man of Steel sequel would feature Batman, and would draw heavily on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, in which a grizzled Bruce Wayne faces off against Superman.

Christian Bale will not return to play Wayne, and it has been reported that Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Matthew Goode are among those being considered to take over the role.

Strong's new series Low Winter Sun starts in the UK on Friday, August 16 at 10pm on Fox.

Ben Affleck to Play Batman in Man of Steel Sequel | Comcast

Ben Affleck to Play Batman in Man of Steel Sequel

Ben Affleck may not be directing a Justice League movie, but...

This is so much better!

The Oscar winner is going to play Batman in the planned Man of Steel sequel, Warner Bros. announced Thursday.

Zack Snyder is returning to direct the follow-up to his first Superman flick, starring Henry Cavill as the titular superhero, which has made more than $649 million worldwide.

Production on the sequel, which has no official title yet, is scheduled to kick off next year and the film is due in theaters July 17, 2015.

Of course, this isn't Affleck's first foray into playing a character ripped from the pages of a comic book?he starred in Daredevil in 2003?nor is it his first brush with the Superman mythos.

Back when his acting career was in its limbo period, Affleck scored a Golden Globe nomination for playing George Reeves?the star of the 1950s-era Adventures of Superman TV series?in Hollywoodland, which took on the murder vs. suicide question that shadows Reeves' death to this day.

"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," Snyder said in a statement. "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can't wait to work with him."
 
Affleck as Superman, that doesn't sound good at all, IMO.
 
Bryan Cranston Cast as Lex Luthor in

Bryan Cranston Cast as Lex Luthor in ?Man of Steel? Sequel

Matt McGloin of Cosmic Book News is reporting that actor Bryan Cranston has been cast as supervillain Lex Luthor in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel. He writes, ?Bryan Cranston has been cast as Lex Luthor in what is said to be at least a six ?appearance? deal?and may be as high as ten.? The sequel will also star Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman and opens in theaters on July 17, 2015.

Here’s What The BATMAN/SUPERMAN Film Could Look Like… ? Nerdist

Here?s What The BATMAN/SUPERMAN Film Could Look Like?

With the burning fury of one thousand imploding Kryptonian suns, the Internet descended upon the news that Ben Affleck will be playing Batman like a school of piranhas in a kiddie pool. While many of you were seething with rage, enterprising filmmakers like YouTube?s SoylentBrak1 were creating mock trailers to give us a sense of just what it would be like to see Mr. Affleck as Bats, Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor, and, of course, Henry Cavill as Superman once again. Judging by this fan-made teaser trailer, I have to say the results aren?t half bad. Now, it?s just up to David Goyer to write a monologue half as good as anything that?s come out of Walter White?s mouth in the last five seasons of Breaking Bad.

 
Superman/Batman Film Will Shoot In Detroit | Movie News | Empire

Superman/Batman Film Will Shoot In Detroit
The new home of Metropolis and Gotham. Gothtropolis?

Though there was a thought that Zack Snyder would be returning to Vancouver and its environs (a favourite shooting haunt of his) to film the Superman/Batman crossover-flavoured Man Of Steel sequel, Canada will have to manage without the last son of Krypton and Gotham?s Caped Crusader: they?re off to Michigan.

In an announcement from the Michigan Film Office, picked up by Coming Soon?s Bat-web radar, the superhero mash-up, lured by tax incentives, will film in and around Detroit. Which means that both Metropolis and, presumably, Gotham will both be played on screen by a city that has recently declared bankruptcy. Hopefully Bruce Wayne?s billions will be a welcome cash injection.

?Detroit is a great example of a quintessential American city, and I know it will make the perfect backdrop for our movie,? says Snyder. ?Detroit and the entire state of Michigan have been fantastic collaborators, and we are looking forward to working together on this film.?

With the title still undecided, we do know the film will feature returning Steel workers Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane, joined by Ben Affleck, who, as you may have heard (and read via the virtual gnashing of teeth and rending of garments online), is playing Bats. It?s scheduled to kick off production early next year for a July 17, 2015 release date in the US (and possibly here, though there has been no official word on that).

Meet Your New Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot ? Nerdist

Meet Your New Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot

After months of speculation and weird fan Photoshop mock-ups, the DC Cinematic Universe finally has its Wonder Woman: Gal Gadot. The Israeli actress, who has made a name for herself in the Fast & the Furious series, will star as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince alongside Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck in 2015′s Zack Snyder-directed Batman vs Superman. It?s unknown how large the role will be, but it?s significant in that this is the iconic character?s first feature film incarnation.

Originally, it was reported that Gadot was testing for a role believed to be Wonder Woman alongside G.I. Joe: Retaliation?s Elodie Yung and Olga Kurylenko. Now, thanks to Batman vs. Superman director Zack Snyder, we know who won that Paradise Island throwdown.

In a statement presumably made from the window of his new invisible jet, Snyder said, ?Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.?

But, that?s not all, folks! Variety reports that Warners is looking to cast the villain in the film with Zero Dark Thirty and 300: Rise of an Empire star Callan Mulvey being eyed as the top candidate. Who could that villain be? My money is on Starro because why not.

Batman vs. Superman is set for release on July 17, 2015.
