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.

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.

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: 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........

Zach Snyder Directing "Justice League" If "Man Of Steel" Is A Hit!

"Man Of Steel" director has confirmed in Empire Magazine that if his upcoming Superman reboot is mega successful, then he will be asked to direct the 2015 planned "Justice League" film. He didn't though say if he'd do it, but c'mon...........JUSTICE LEAGUE!!!!
I think, from what we have seen, Snyder has the new "Man Of Steel" film on the ball and if this is going to be as epic as it looks, then give him the whole fucking DC film universe. I think Snyder will become the Joss Whedon of the DC films. It's like, move out the way Chris Nolan..........SNYDER'S HERE!!!!

"Sons Of Anarchy" Star Playing The Flash?

Charlie Hunnam, star of TV's "Sons Of Anarchy" is said to be playing the role of The Flash in Warners planned "Justice League" film in 2015. Online sites are saying that his likeness is being used in concept art for the high speed superhero. We yet have any confirmation from Warner or Hunnam, but the sites are saying that the info is from trusty insiders over at Warner.
Personally I think he'd be pretty cool looking as The Flash. I've never seen "Sons Of Anarchy", but I've heard it's amazing and that he's great in it. Hunnam is next seen in Guillermo Del Toro's sci-fi film "Pacific Rim" with Idris Elba.

Next "Batman" Reboot Not Happening Until 2017?

The Batman will return in his first solo film since last years "The Dark Knight Rises" in or around 2017 according to insiders over at Warner Bros. The next official appearance of Batman will be in the 2015 live action adaption of the "Justice League", but it's still unknown if that will be the official rebooted Batman or if there will be two versions. One in the "Justice League" and the other in the 2017ish solo film.

The "Justice League" Line-Up Revealed?

A rumored line-up for the 2015 "Justice League" live-action film has been leaked online. It reveals that Henry Cavill's Superman and Ryan Reynolds's Green Lantern could actually appear in the upcoming planned DC Cinematic Universe after all.
It's been rumored for ages that there would be two split universes. One was the planned reboot "Batman" franchise and the upcoming "Man Of Steel" franchise and the other was going to just be based on the "Justice League". Now it seems that it could be all one universe.
Here's the line-up, courtesy of ComingSoon.net:
• Superman is essentially the same character from Man of Steel, and Zack Snyder is consulting regarding the writing of the character.
• Batman: The strategist of the group. Batman doesn't really want to be involved with these super powered beings he considers too powerful. Easily the most complex written.
• Wonder Woman: She has only been in man's world a few short months. The Wonder Woman script Michael Goldenberg is developing will be set before the Justice League movie. 
• Green Lantern: Will be Ryan Reynold's character from the Green Lantern movie, but will be freshly written with a more serious tone.
• Flash: The most popular hero in civilian eyes who loves media attention, but when called upon is very serious.
• Martian Manhunter: Alien who has lived on Earth in secret for over a hundred years who has knowledge of Darkseid and his reign. 
• Aquaman: Will be the King of Atlantis who has a key role in the film.
• There will also be a heavy military presence in the film which in future rewrites could include characters featured in Man of Steel or even Amanda Waller (Angela Bassett) of which neither are included in the first draft.
• Alfred Pennyworth is in the film in a minor appearance.
• Lois Lane is also in the film in a cameo.
• Darkseid's Elite will be featured who go up against the Justice League early on in the film.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Playing The Next Batman After All And Snyder And Cavill Involved In "Justice League" Film Too?

Reports online are strongly suggesting that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in meetings over at Warner to star as the new Batman in their "Justice League" BIG-screen movie. It's been rumored for ages that Levitt could be the next Batman in either a direct sequel to Chris Nolan's film series or crossover and enter into the "Justice League" film universe when it begins in 2015. 
Online sites were suggesting that Warner were going to clean the slate and cast a brand new Batman for both the "Justice" universe and the solo Batman reboot series, but now that may not be the case after all. John Blake could be Batman rather than go back and re-create Bruce Wayne again. 
Fans, including me, didn't like the idea of two Batmen and the same going for Superman, two different Supermen on-screen. Maybe Warner have listened to fans and thought, "Fuck it, let's bring back Levitt and keep him as Batman from now on."...........well hopefully, because this is just a MASSIVE rumor. 
Zach Snyder did though let slip that he and his Superman, Henry Cavill, could be apart of the planned "Justice" film after all, rather than the split universe. I would rather see Cavill come back rather than two different actors playing the same hero on-screen.............POINTLESS!!! 
When Snyder was asked about his involvement in the "Justice" film, he said, 

"I can’t really say anything to that, because that’s a big spoiler. I will say, yeah, they trust me to keep them on course."

He also added,

"I don’t know how ‘Justice League’ is going to be handled. Honestly, I don’t, but ‘The Man of Steel’ exists, and Superman is in it. I don’t know how you’d move forward without acknowledging that."

UPDATE: Hollywood.com have reported that Gordon-Levitt's reps have denied the rumor of him appearing in the "Justice League" film as John Blake. Reps have denied things before and it's turned out true though.

Holden McNeil To Direct "Justice League" Film?

So it looks like Warner are racing ahead to get a BIG-screen live-action "Justice League" film up and running again in time for it to go head-2-head with Marvel's "Avengers" sequel in around 2015ish. The minute Marvel announced that Joss Whedon was returning to direct "The Avengers 2", DC and Warner rushed in and announced that the long-awaited "Justice League" film was looking for a key director to get the superhero on the BIG-screens. The said that they are looking at Ben Affleck to take the rains of the big budget film.
Apparently now Affleck has gave Warner and big fat "NO!!!" to the project. Variety magazine confirmed this yesterday after the word broke out from Warner Bros. that this was in the planning. Affleck obviously just feels that he's not up for the challenge just yet, maybe some day though.
See what happens when a studio opens their big mouths and says something out loud without thinking about it first. Probably if they spoke to Affleck in a meeting instead of announcing it and him hearing it from someone else, then maybe he would have said "maybe"................silly Warner!
Warner haven't thought any of this through though. Yes they had the "Justice League" filming in development since like 2004/5, but nothing has ever really picked up. Marvel on the other hand have released film after film after film, leading up to the main event that was "Avengers Assemble" or "Marvel's The Avengers".

We had background stories from each character, they crossed-over to let each other be known to each other and get ready for the assemble. Warner and DC are just planning to dive right into a "Justice League" film with a new Batman, probably a new Green Lantern, a Wonder Woman, a Flash and well let's hope.......Henry Cavill and Zach Snyder's Superman, rather than some other guy who we know nothing about.

DC and Warner are planning to release all stand-alone character films after the "Justice League" film, which personally I think is kind of a big mistake! Let them be known to the fans first before throwing them into the deep end with new actors, Superman, Batman and Green Lantern and new looks. marvel worked hard and achieved so much, whereas DC could fail, but only time will tell.

Future DC Films In Trouble? And "Justice League" Set For Possible 2015 Release?

Warner Bros. President, Jeff Robinov told The LA Times that any plans for new BIG-screen DC films are a few years away. He said, "will likely be at least three years before a new DC title hits the big screen, according to several knowledgeable people close to Warner Bros." 
Next years "Man Of Steel" is said to be the last film for now. Since the "Green Lantern" flopped last year, Warner and DC Comics are scared to release anymore. "Man Of Steel" was lucky not to have the plug pulled on it, but production for too far in by the time the Lantern film was released. Warner still have plans to make a new Lantern film someday with Ryan Reynolds returning as the green superhero, but that's going to be a good few years off. Robinov did end the interview with a positive note, "My hope is that over the next month or so, we’ll be ready to lay out the plan for the next DC movies," Even though they might not be out anytime soon.
It's said that Warner have plans to release the planned "Justice League" film sometime in 2015 and then release solo films afterwards, i.e. "Green Lantern 2", "The Batman", "The Flash", etc. Plans are still strongly going ahead for the Batman reboot, but now it seems it may not come out anytime soon now. "Man Of Steel 2" is still rumored for a 2016ish release.

Nolan & Bale Not Involved With The "JLA" Live-Action Film Or Anymore Batman!

In two different interviews, both director Christopher Nolan and actor Christian Bale were asked about the possibilities of returning for one, a "BATMAN 4" and two, the planned "Justice League" film. Nolan said that he is just completely done with the Batman universe and will not be part of the "Justice League" film in any sort of way. 

"No, none at all," Nolan said. "We're finished with all we're doing with Batman. This is the end of our take on this character.
Batman will outlive us all, and our interpretation was ours. Obviously, we consider it definitive and kind of finished. The great thing about Batman is he lives on for future generations to reinterpret, and obviously, Warner's will have to decide in the future what they're going to do with him. We've had our say on the character. ...
I've got no plans to do anything more, and certainly, no involvement with any 'Justice League' project."

So this must mean that him and his producer wife will definitely not be producing Warner's next reboot of Batman, which is under the working title of "The Batman". Originally they were both to be involved, but it looks like they ain't anymore. 

As for Christian Bale, he says that unless Nolan says he wants do do a fourth film, then he won't be back either for a "BATMAN 4" and he also said that he's heard nothing about him appearing as Batman in the planned "Justice League" film. 
"Well, I mean, you know; gun to my head I certainly can't give you an answer about that. But I'm really the wrong person to ask. It's down to Chris, and I think that he's been pretty definitive about this being the final chapter."
"I've not spoken with anybody about that. I don't know that that's in-keeping with Chris's world of Batman. I don't know."

Warner Bros Getting Ready To Make More DC Comic Films!

Now I know this is news from a few weeks back, but I haven't yet reported it so here it is. Warner execs have announced that they are planning to make much more DC Comic films than before. They are said to be going along the lines of what Marvel have been doing with their "Avnegers" films and the stand-alone films for each of the characters in the main film. They announced that the "Justice League" film is back on and it's said that the script is much more dark and mature than Marvel's "Avengers Assemble" script. 

"Kick-Ass" creator Mark Millar, gave some news on the script, "A pal of mine is good friends with the new Justice League screenwriter and said his take on the team is incredible. Very real-world and not at all what you might expect. WB has a chequered history with their superhero characters. They're great with their boy wizards, but less consistent with their DC stable. But my chum said that this could be a thing of beauty and has been in the works for a little while now, not just an Avengers knock-off. Best of luck to them. The tidbits I heard sound quite dark and mature, which isn't what I expected. But word on Gangster Squad is great too so I feel this is in really good hands."

There's still no news on when Warner plan to release DC's main event film, but it's still rumored for a 2015 release. Warner, like I said above, plan to have some stand-alone films out before that, like a "Green Lantern 2/Reboot", which is reportedly still starring Ryan Reynolds. The have plans to also finally make a BIG-screen version of female favorite, "Wonder Woman". That film has been in development hell for over 10 years, so hopefully it'll finally see the light of day. The closest updated adaption was the 2011 TV pilot starring Adrianne Palicki. 

Warner are also finishing off on another drafted script for "The Flash", which was once rumored to star "Hangover" star, Bradley Cooper. "Aquaman" and "Lobo" are just two other projects being planned right now. Warner plan to have them all released within the next few years, some before the "Justice League" and some after. 

The reboot of Nolan's "Batman" franchise is also deffo getting a reboot, so that it can be rebooted to lead up to the "Justice League" film. The next "Batman" reboot is under the working title of "The Batman" with Nolan and his wife staying on as producers. There's no news on wether on not Henry Cavill's Superman will make an appearance in the "Justice League" or if that Superman will just have his own universe and Warner will have a "Justice League" Superman being played by a completely different actor all together. I guess like everything else.............we'll just have to wait and see. But I do know that Warner are going ahead with a "Man Of Steel 2" with Cavill, though not sure if director Zach Snyder will be back of not.

"Justice League" Is Filming Coming......Good & Bad Thing!

Warner have announced that work on the cancelled "Justice League" film is now back on again. They plan to have the film released by 2013, which will be one year after Marvel Comics "The Avengers". They only thing that'll suck about this film is that none of the stand-alone DC films out now will build up to "Justice League", unlike "The Avengers" and the Marvel films out now.
Warner have also announced that they plan to recast everyone for the new film. This means that Ryan Reynolds wont be playing Green Lantern, Henry Cavill or Brandon Routh wont be playing Superman and Christian Bale wont be playing Batman. And this is why "The Avengers" will also be awesome, as everyone in the stand-alone films out now will all be returning for the 2012 film. Ryan Reynolds literally confirmed that his Green Lantern will deffo not be appearing in "Justice League". Now that's really sucky...........fucking DC!
