SDCC 2015: New Action-Packed And EPIC Batman Vs Superman Trailer Is Officially Released!

So to kickstart myself blogging again on this blog, let's talk about fans being treated with a nearly 4 minute Batman Vs Superman - Dawn Of Justice trailer last weekend at the 2015 SDCC. It was action-packed with plenty of Batman going head to head with Superman in Snyder-esque fighting style. It's an absolutely fucking majestic trailer to watch. Superman is made out to be a sort of villain, Lex Luthor is trying to take over the show as per usual, Batman is having flashbacks and then we all of a sudden have Wonder Woman jumping in and joining in on the action.
I must admit that at first, I wasn't a massive fan of Gal Gadot's casting as the upcoming big screen DC Movie Universe Wonder Woman, but after seeing her in action in the latest trailer, fuck me, she's got it nailed by the looks of it.
Jesse Eisenberg looks like he'll be on top form and possibly steal the show with his newly revived version of classic Superman villain, Lex Luthor. He seems so secretly sinister as if he's waiting to release his true evil when the film officially opens next Summer. I can't wait to see his Luthor.
Ben Affleck is just perfect as the lastest Bruce Wayne/Batman. He just looks like he'll own this role, even more than Christian Bale ever did! And on the note of Bruce Wayne, we get awesome confirmation that Watchmen actor and close friend of director Zach Snyder, Jeffery Dean Morgan WILL indeed be playing Thomas Wayne, father of Bruce. It was speculated ages ago that he was playing the father of our Dark Knight as a painting of him was spotted on the set of the movie outside, what was and is now confirmed to have been Wayne Manor.
The only weird thing about this new trailer and well, persumebly the film, is that Superman has guards, that's right, guards. There are some sort of task force team shown throughout the trailer with the "S" symbol on their left shoulders. Does Superman need help in this film? He's Superman!!! My theory is that they're Superman fan boys who want to help the Man Of Steel in this movie, similar to the Batman wannabes that appeared in 2008's The Dark Knight.
After seeing this new trailer for Warner Bros, Batman Vs Superman - Dawn of Justice, I personally think it's 100% going to be THEE 2nd biggest movie event of 2016, just after Captain America III - Civil War. It's got everything you want, Zach Snyder type of over the top fighting and CGI, a good strong sounding story, great cast, dark themed, action-packed, just everything you expect from a film that's to lead up to the full on Justice League two-parter.
Anyways, enough talking, get this trailer watched and enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAcbTd8Nd70

PS:
One more piece of fantastic news is that Ben Affleck aka our new Batman was just confirmed the other day that he will DIRECT, CO-WRITE AND STAR in his very first Batman solo film, which is rumored to begin filming sometime next year or possibly the beginning of 2017 for a planned 2018 release date. This could end up being the first Batman film to receive an Oscar for Best Film because BatFleck is a great director. I honestly think this is a big challenge for him to take on but I have total faith in him. Can't wait to see this in 2018!!!

BatFleck Is Stunning Looking!

Here we have it ladies and gentlemen.......................Ben Affleck all good looking in his Batman suit for the yet untitled "Man Of Steel" sequel. His suit is stunning looking!!! Seeing as the first picture of BatFleck in his suit is black and white, we don't get a great look at what colour the suit will be but we can assume it'll be a similar suit to the suit that was used by Bruce Wayne in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns", which was a grey suit with a black bat logo.
Next to him, we get a glimpse of the new Batmobile, which looks like a mix between the old car and the newest tumblr from Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy.

"Man Of Steel" Sequel Pushed Back To May 2016!

Warner Bros. have officially announced that their "Batman Vs Superman" movie has been pushed back to May 6th 2016. This is happening due to the fact that Warner feel as though they want to give the films makers more time to write the script and make it perfect considering that amount of newly announced superheroes added to the roaster.
Originally, only it was a "Man Of Steel" sequel with the introduction to Ben Affleck's rebooted Bruce Wayne/Batman, but then it was announced that Gal Gadot had been cast as Wonder Woman and that her role in the film was quite a big part. It was then announced that there will possibly be appearances from other heroes such as The Flash, Aquaman and The Green Lantern, who is rumoured to be played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. It's basically turned into the "Justice League" film that Warner were planning to make for about 2016/17. So really, they need the time to get the script perfect and balance all the heroes and villains out properly like the perfect balance in Joss Whedon's 2012 "Avengers Assemble".
It's been rumoured that Ben Affleck has also sustained a leg injury which would push production back about 10 weeks but nothing has been confirmed on that part by either himself or Warner.

"Fast & Furious" Actress Cast As Wonder Woman In "Batman Vs Superman"

That's right, Wonder Woman for the big screen "Batman Vs Superman" film has been finally cast........................and I just hate who Warner Bros and Zach Snyder have cast to be honest. I just don't think she looks the part. OH, the picture above is a fan-made image with a photoshopped Wonder Woman costume on her. Still, seeing this picture, I still don't think she's right for the role of the Amazon princess. She's a stick, she needs to be a bit more curvier to make the big screen version looks sexy and appealing to male geeks!!! I really can't think who I'd cast if it was up to me, but Gadot is a no in my books. Here's hoping I'll change my mind once I see her in action.

Warner Register Domain Names From 2015 "Batman Vs Superman" Movie!

Earlier this week Warner registered some potential names for their upcoming 2015 "Man Of Steel" sequel. It was rumoured that the Zach Snyder sequel was going to be called either "Batman Vs Superman" or just plain old awesome "World's Finest". Now, it seems as thought the film could end up having an extremely interesting and very original title. 

Here are the titles that have been registered: 
1. Man Of Steel: Battle The Knight
2. Man Of Steel: Beyond Darkness
3. Man Of Steel: Black Of Knight
4. Man Of Steel: Darkness Falls
5. Man Of Steel: Knight Falls
6. Man Of Steel: Shadow Of The Knight
7. Man Of Steel: The Blackest Hour
8. Man Of Steel: The Darkness Within

Now the titles above are great, but the title or titles that jump out at me are "Man Of Steel: Darkness Falls" and "Man Of Steel: Shadow Of The Knight", even though that just sounds like a title for a "Star Wars" film but fuck it, why not. The last title that could work would be "Man Of Steel: The Darkness Within". There's a lot of darkness, black and knight used in these titles. Whatever it's called, I'll watch it to be honest!!!

"GLEE" Star Cast As The Flash In "Arrow" Spin-Off!

"GLEE" star Grant Gustin has became the lucky guy to play The Flash in the planned "Arrow" spin-off featuring the adventures of the fast paced superhero. The character will be introduced in three episodes of "Arrow" series two, which will be backdoor pilots for his own series which is said to begin filming as soon as the episodes hit tv. The show is expected to air sometime next year.
Warner have had plans coming and going for the red suited superhero to hit either the small or big screen for years but nothing has been set in stone until now. Plans are still reportedly going ahead for the planned "Flash" movie, which is set to be released in cinemas sometime in 2017/18. It's not confirmed if Gustin will play The Flash in that or if we'll see two different actors playing the superhero on the small and big screen.
I for one am excited that we're finally getting to see The Flash on the screen. He's an awesome superhero who deserves some screen time again after the cancellation of his series way back in the early 90's.

Daredevil Will Be The New Batman!

So first we got the controversial casting of Peter Capadli as The 12th Doctor and now we have none other than Ben Fucking Affleck cast as Zach Snyder's older and newly rebooted Batman for his 2015 "Man Of Steel" sequel?! My mind is ready to explode with geekness!!! Some people WILL probably hate this casting choice but I for one flippen love it.
I never even thought of him when thinking of older actors to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming sequel. I honestly thought that Warner would have gone with actors such as Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Karl Urban, etc. They obviously just thought nah.......BEN AFFLECK!!!! Like I said with the casting of Capadli as The 12th Doctor, not the best casting, but not bad either........THIS GOOD BE GREAT!!!
I think Affleck is perfect because he's an amazing actor and director and I, like Kevin Smith, have always had faith in him and knew that some day he WILL rise again in greatness......obviously he did that with "Hollywood Land", "Argo" and "The Town". Now it's time to see him become a superhero again and prove that 2003's "Daredevil" was just a mistake (even though I loved it) and he CAN play a superhero awesomely after all.
I think that Affleck's Bruce Wayne will be like Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark.......the guy who brings the team together by cameoing in other superhero films. It's assumed that Affleck will lead off to play Batman in his own standalone films and rejoin Superman and the rest of DC Comics top superheroes in the planned "Justice League" film sometime in 2017.

Josh Brolin And Many Others Up For Role As Next Batman!

So not only are fellow geeks going on about who the next Doctor will be, but we're also going on about who the next Batman will be. After this image above of "Men In Black 3" star Josh Brolin hit the net with his head photoshopped onto Batman's body, everyone went batshit crazy over it. The image above looks amazing. I don't think anyone even thought about Brolin when thinking about who could play the next Batman. He actually looks like Bruce Wayne from the cartoons, well the older ones from like the 90's.
There's a rumour that Zach Snyder and Warner are possibly searching for an older actor to play the role of their Batman in the 2015 "Man Of Steel" sequel. Brolin is 45 years old and is not bad for his age so he can still move about and fight, etc. They are also looking at Ryan Gosling, in case they go for a younger actor, Tyler Hoechlin from "Teen Wolf", Richard Armitage from "The Hobbit" films and even Luke Evans from "Fast & Furious 6".
An insider did sort if confirm that they are indeed looking for an older actor for the role of the next Dark Knight in "Man Of Steel 2", so that would mean that Brolin and Armitage have more of a chance than any of the others listed. Brolin and Gosling are speculated to be Warners top choice after their roles in this years "Gangster Squad".
Fans are expecting that The Dark Knight's story will be based around Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" comic book, seeing as a quote was read out at this years COMIC-CON.

COMIC-CON: "Justice League" Film Confirmed For A 2017 Release Date!

So while Zach Snyder was confirming a Batman/Superman film in 2015, Warner confirmed a Flash film too and now they've also fully confirmed that the "Justice League" WILL FINALLY BE A FILM IN 2017!!! That's right ladies and gentlemen.......a "Justice League" film IS coming out finally finally finally, but not in 2015 though. I think 2017 is a good time to release it. Gives Warner a lot of time to make it right. Plus, we've got Batman, Superman and The Flash to keep us going for a while.
It's assumed that Henry Cavill, the new guy playing Batman, the guy who's going to play The Flash are all returning for the "Justice League". It's also assumed that Ryan Reynold's will be returning too but nothing has been totally confirmed there yet.

COMIC-CON: Warner Announce "Flash" Film Coming Out In 2016!

So after years of speculation, Warner have finally confirmed that a "Flash" film is in the works and is set for a 2016 release date.
There's no word on who's making the new highly-anticipated film and neither has any cast members been confirmed too. Filming is expected to begin sometime next year alongside filming for the upcoming Batman/Superman film.
I honestly can't wait to see The Flash on the big screen. He's one of those superheroes who needs to finally get his own movie. I want to see Bradley Cooper or Chris Pine play The Flash, but as previously rumoured, Warner are possibly looking at "Pacific Rim" actor Charlie Hunnam to play the fast-paced superhero.

COMIC-CON: "World's Finest" Film Coming Our Way In 2015 With Zach Snyder Helming The Project!

I can't believe this is happening.........finally we're getting a Batman/Superman film and it's coming out in 2015! Henry Cavill will be returning as the Man Of Steel himself. Amy Adams and the rest of the cast of this years "Man Of Steel" are all set to return too. Zach Snyder is helming the "Man Of Steel" sequel featuring the Dark Knight, who will be played by a new actor this time around. No casting announcements have been made on that role yet or any other. 
Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" plot will be used to bring this "World's Finest" film together. Snyder is directing, Chris Nolan and his wife Emma are exec producers and David S Goyer is writing the script. 
"Man Of Steel" actor Henry Lennox came out on stage in one of the halls in Comic-Con and quoted this line from "TDKR" and this is what got the fans going that something cool was about to happen and then before you knew it, a Batman/Superman logo appeared on the screen. 

"I want you to remember Clark in all the years to come. In all your private moments. In all the years to come, my hand at your throat. I want you to remember, the one man who beat you." 

I think the new logo is awesome! Loving the new Batman logo. It's very vintage and works out well in my opinion. I'm just looking forward to seeing who will be playing the Caped Crusader and also the newly rebooted costume. 
This film is going to be just the best DC Comics film ever!!! Marvel and Joss Whedon have to seriously make sure that the next "Avengers" sequel is going up to scratch because they can't afford to loose out in fans. I've said it before and I'll say it again..........................2015 is going to be the greatest year in film ever!!!!

COMIC-CON: New "Batman" And "Justice League" Film Coming In 2015?

Again, rumours are surfacing on Warners plans for a "Justice League" film. A source says that the project has been in the works since the post-production and the release of this years Superman reboot "Man Of Steel". The source says that the studio plan to release the film sometime in 2015 alongside a newly planned Batman reboot, which is awesomely rumoured to be based around the cartoon tv show "Batman Beyond". Finally fans could see a big screen adaption of the much loved cartoon tv show.
I personally would love to see a "Justice League" film being made but I can't see it being released as soon as 2015. I think it would be rushed a bit so maybe release it in 2016 at least. In a way, I'd rather see another "Man Of Steel" film first before a full on "Justice League" film. Also, how will a "Batman Beyond" film work alongside a "Justice League" film? Is there going to be two different versions of Batman on the big screen? Like a present Batman for the "Justice League" film and a future one for the "Batman Beyond" film? Who knows........

"Kick-Ass" Villain Wanted For Lex Luthor Role In "Man Of Steel" Sequel!

So now that "Man Of Steel" director Zach Snyder, has "sort of" started work on his "Man Of Steel" sequel, rumours for casting have began. The role of Lex Luthor in the next film is the most active casting rumour.
"Kick-Ass" villain Mark Strong, is the number one fan choice for the role of Luthor and it's been rumoured online that he is in talks with both Snyder and Warner Bros. about the evil villain role. The sources are actually stating that both Snyder and Warner WANT Strong to play Lex Luthor in "Man Of Steel 2".
I personally think Mark Strong would be an awesome Lex Luthor. I actually spoke about casting him to a friend in work and now this rumour has come out..........PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE!!!

"Man Of Steel 2" Is Happening As We Speak!

It's been confirmed that "Man Of Steel 2" is officially underway with Zach Snyder returning to direct and David S. Goyer returning to pen the script. Henry Cavill is expected to return as Superman with Amy Adams expected to return too as Lois Lane. 
An insider at Warner Bros is even saying that they plan to have the sequel out in cinemas as soon as Summer 2014. It's then said that the official "Justice League" film will follow in Summer 2015. 

"Warner is already in development on a sequel to "Man of Steel" and is expected to fast track that for release as soon as 2014, said knowledgeable people close to the studio. In addition, it has long been developing a "Justice League" team-up movie featuring characters such as the Flash and Wonder Woman that could come out as soon as 2015." 

David S. Goyer has been confirmed to write the script for "Justice League", as this is part of Goyer's three-picture deal with Warner. This is all extremely exciting for Superman fans and fans of DC comics too. I am so happy that there's finally going to be a Superman sequel rather than another reboot.
