New Batman Vs. Superman Details Include Flash, Aquaman & Luthor

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23138:]]

Some new details about Batman Vs. Superman are learned from the Comic-Con Experience out of Brazil as costume designer Michael Wilkinson talked about Batman, Superman, Flash, Aquaman and Lex Luthor.

Ezra Miller already confirmed Flash for the movie, but now a new detail is learned in that this version of The Flash won’t be as powerful as the other Justice League members.

“He will have a small appearance and will not be as strong as the other Justice League Heroes.”

Wilkinson also offered:

“I’m not really at the liberty to talk about The Flash right now, but it’s something that you’ll be seeing in the future in our films. You do get a glimpse of him, of course, in Batman v Superman. But I’m really looking forward to taking the amazing, iconic costume for The Flash and interpreting it in a fresh way where Ezra Miller is playing The Flash. He’s an extraordinary performer, he has a sort of interesting sense of humor and the youth that will be great for Barry Allen and I think he’s going to make a great Flash.” 

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23139:]]

Wilkinson also teased that Jason Momoa’s Aquaman undergoes some sort of change in Batman Vs. Superman that sees him don two costumes.

“…have two uniforms in the movie. “He will start one way and will develop for a different look,” says Wilkinson. 

Prior to the release of the latest Batman Vs. Superman trailer, WB revealed a scene which saw Superman as a bad guy unmasking Batman. Just as many fans online speculated, it’s a dream sequence as Wilkinson confirms it’s Batman’s nightmare. Note: The costume Batman is wearing in the scene has already been revealed to be “Nightmare Batman” as part of the action figure line, so this news shouldn’t come as all that much of a surprise.

… in Wayne’s dream, the world turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland in the style of Mad Max, in which Superman became a despot and have an army of followers, composed of soldiers and by flying beings that appear in the trailer. 

“It’s like a dream that Ben has, so we wanted to, it has almost a Mad Max quality to it where it’s like the end of the world, trying to survive and then of course Superman and his minions come, so it’s sort of a way of representing the amazing amounts of, the sort of obsessive quality that Bruce Wayne has about the threat of Superman.” 

Wilkinson also confirms that Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor will be featured in other DC films, and that the look of Lex will change.

Wilkinson talked about Lex Luthor, revealing that the visual of the villain will evolve over the other films by DC.

New Aquaman, Green Lantern Rumors & Justice League Movies Get PG-13 Rating

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23045:]]

We get two bits of information for the upcoming DC slate of movies as Batman producer Charles Roven confirms the Justice League movies will all be rated PG-13, and a batch of rumors for Aquaman, Green Lantern and more surface.

Batman producer Charles Roven confirms all the Justice League movies will be PG-13:

“Right now the movies that we’re making, the movies that have been announced by Warner Bros., I would say those are all intended to be PG-13 movies,”Roven told Collider, but didn’t totally rule out an R-rated movie in the future. “I can’t tell you something may not come out of left field or we might get inspired to develop a different character, but the ones that are in front of us right now through [Justice League 2 are] PG-13.”

Regarding the Aquaman movie rumor, according to JoBlo, the villain of the film will be Ocean Master, Aquaman’s half-brother. It’s also said Mera will be heavily featured in the movie, with it said she will be a force to reckon with. According to the report, a non-white actress is being eyed for Mera to match Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

It’s also said DC is looking to develop more team films as a larger cast can offer a broader diversification of characters. It’s said possible movies being looked at are Birds Of Prey and Teen Titans (which may tie into the Cyborg movie). 

The Green Lantern Corps movie is also said described as: “Hal Jordan and John Stewart in a ‘Lethal Weapon in space’ team-up. “

It’s further suggested that DC may go with a gay character at some point to further diversify the line.

David Johnson Said To Be Writing Aquaman Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22931:]]

It’s being said Aquaman is getting a new writer with David Leslie Johnson who has worked with director James Wan previously on The Conjuring 2. Johnson also wrote Wrath of the Titans and episodes of The Walking Dead.

Johnson apparently comes on board Aquaman to do rewrites as Will Beall and Kurt Johnstad were hired to write separate scripts for the project. It’s possible Johnson could be incorporating ideas from both of them.

Jason Momoa is set to star as the titular character in Aquaman, which has a July 27, 2018 release, with Momoa first appearing in Batman Vs. Superman next March followed by the Justice League movie in 2017.

Batman Producer Charles Roven Talks Justice League Characters & Plans (Video)

Check out a video interview above with Batman producer Charles Roven talking about the direction of the DC Justice League characters.

Roven talks about the DC “brain trust,” going different routes for their movies and working with other filmmakers.

Here is some of the text (via Collider):

“I think also very much involved in that brain trust is John Berg, who is the executive vice president at Warner Bros. I would say the Snyders, myself, John Berg, and Geoff Johns would be sort of that Brain Trust… I’m working with great people. They’re all really great people. And not that we don’t—there are many times we agree, and there’s many times we don’t agree [and] we work it out.”

“The other thing that I really love about what we’re doing is we’re also bringing in really talented other filmmakers and having them come in and create—I call it the sandbox. We’ve got this sandbox of the Justice League DC characters, and we are hoping to create—this series of movies that we’ve announced are somewhat interlinked. The characters move at a throughline that hopefully will take us all the way to Justice League 2, but they also can interact in the other films as well in some way.”

“So if, for example, The Flash movie or the Aquaman film is gonna come out after Justice League 1, it’s not gonna be a completely different character; that character will have evolved from Justice League 1. Wonder Woman, when we see her in Justice League 1, will have evolved from Batman v Superman. Unless we decide that in one of these stories we’re gonna do something that happened in the past and have it be more of an origination story, in which case you’ll realize how that character became what they were in the movie that they were first introduced.”

“So that’s really challenging and interesting, and you lay out a road map but then when you bring somebody else in they kinda go, ‘Well you’re going to San Francisco by Route 5, what if you took the 101?’ [And you go] ‘Well that’s interesting, maybe we should go Route 101. What if we did?’ And so that changes the whole thing and all of a sudden you realize you can actually get to where you need to get to by a whole different methodology than what you originally planned. Or you might decide to blend the routes. And by doing that it’s very fresh. You’ve got very fresh ideas, very interesting ideas. It’s just really a lot of fun if you’ve got really great collaborative minds working together to try to make things better, more interesting, more fun, more provocative.”

Geoff Johns & Ivan Reis Back On Aquaman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22782:]]

Right in time for Jason Momoa‘s debut as the King Of Atlantis in next March’s Batman Vs. Superman, DC Entertainemnt chief creative officer and DC Comics writer Geoff Johns is returning to Aquaman along with superstar artist Ivan Reis.

Both Johns and Reis launched the New 52 Aquaman comic back in 2011, and now they will be returning for the “Rise of the Seven Seas” storyline that will tie into the Justice League comic as well.

“I can officially say that Ivan Reis, Joe Prado and I have started work on Rise of the 7 Seas! The team is back…” Johns posted on Twitter along with previously released artwork. “We are introducing this mythology piece called the Seven Seas in my last two issues and that’s going to continue into a big Justice League story next year. It warrants Aquaman getting help from the Justice League. It’s too big for him to handle alone, so the seven seas, the seven members of the Justice League — it’s all going to be a nice, big story.”

Jason Momoa Hints At Classic Aquaman Costume & Motives

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22228:]]

In a recent interview, Jason Momoa offered up some hints as to what Aquaman may look like in Batman Vs. Superman, Justice League and the standalone film.

Presently, there is only one official image of Jason Momoa as Aquaman, which is basically colorless, but Momoa offers the Aquaman costume will give a nod to the classic comic book look.

“Well, there might be some bit of orange and green,” Momoa hinted to TheRobotsVoice. “A bit of respect to prior work, but I think he is meaner now and upset – look at what has been done to our oceans. That’s his world that has been polluted.”

Momoa also confirms Aquaman toys are on the way.

“Yes I have,” Momoa says about being questioned if he has been scanned for the toy line. “There will be collectibles.”

Batman Vs. Superman hits next March with Justice League Part 1 in 2017 followed by Aquaman in 2018. It’s also rumored Momoa may be featured in Suicide Squad.

Zack Snyder Talks Batman Vs. Superman, Justice League & Robin

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22002:]]

Warner Bros. and DC are teaming with Doritos for the “Crash the Superbowl” contest, which will see the winning filmaker of a Doritos Super Bowl commercial working with director Zack Snyder on a DC movie.

You can enter the contest here, and Snyder also talked with Yahoo about Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League.

Regarding Batman Vs. Superman, back in June the cinematographer on the movie teased an image of Zack Snyder’s 19-year-old son Eli with “Boy Wonder” leading many fans to speculate Eli Snyder is playing the sidekick to Ben Affleck’s Batman; however, Zack Snyder shoots down the rumor.

“There’s a rumor that my son is [playing] Robin. It’s not true,” Snyder said. “Now there are all these images of him that people have made where he’s dressed like Robin. It’s fun to hear and see them.”

With so many DC projects in the works, Snyder offers he is mainly focusing on three of them, but is also on board to help out with the rest.

“I’m staying with Batman V Superman and Justice League and Justice League 2 — those are my main responsibilities, as well as producing the other movies,” Snyder offered. “That’s the main line. Once you get Justice League, you’re pretty deep in it. But like I was saying, not to be a selfless promoter of our program, what it shows is that we have this giant berth of opportunity with the DC movies now to I think find the opportunities for even young filmmakers to even get involved because there are so many projects.”

Here is the current slate of DC movies:

2016:
March 25: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Michael Wilkinson Talks New Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman & Aquaman Costumes

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21772:]]

Oscar-nominated costume designer Michael Wilkinson, noted for American Hustle, Tron and Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, Sucker Punch, 300 and Man of Steel, returns for Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League.

People’s Choice caught up with Wilkinson who is in Las Vegas for the MAGIC Panel at the Las Vegas Convention Center where the following was offered about the new Batman Vs. Superman costumes:

Updated Superman Costume:

We tweaked the Superman suit only slightly from our suit from Man of Steel. We streamlined plus sharpened the details of the costume a little to suit the more earthly (less alien) context of this film. 

Zack had a great idea to have some kryptonian script [writing] subliminally included in the details of the suit, so we made that happen (update: you can check out details images of the scripts in Superman’s costume here). 

Ben Affleck’s Batman Costume:

The batsuit is a complete 180 degree turn from the previous film incarnations — our Batman’s power comes from his incredible physical strength and fighting skills, not from armor. The director Zack Snyder wanted him to look as much like the comic book version as possible — to be respectful to the original source.

My favorite details of the batsuit are the brass knuckles on the gloves. 

Gal Gadot Wonder Woman Costume:

As for the Wonder Woman suit, well she has never been seen in a film before, so there was nothing to compare it to! There is of course the costume from the TV show. Zack wanted our character to be a fierce and intimidating warrior — gritty, battle-scarred and immortal.

There is ancient Greek script [writing] on Wonder Woman’s weapons too.

Jason Momoa Aquaman Costume: (note: Wilkinson looks to have confirmed Momoa will be seen in the Aquaman costume in Batman Vs. Superman):

It was pretty hard to get Jason to get out of his Aquaman costume. It really became part of him.

Here are pics of the new costumes (click to enlarge):

We can probably take this as a confirmation that new Aquaman Jason Momoa will be at Comic-Con for Batman Vs. Superman as the actor has posted an image of himself with Gal Gadot who will be playing Wonder Woman.

In WB’s official announcement for Comic-Con, Gal Gadot is confirmed to be attending the Batman Vs. Superman panel, but no mention was made of Jason Momoa.

It’s possible the below image was taken at San Diego, which would of course mean Jason Momoa will be seen on stage alongside Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons and Holly Hunter.

The Batman Vs. Superman panel takes place Saturday in Hall H.

Jason Momoa is first set to appear as Aquaman in Batman Vs. Superman and then Justice League and standalone Aquaman movie.

Common Rumored As Black Manta For Suicide Squad

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20233:]]

A couple of days ago saw word hit that rapper turned actor Common has been cast in the Suicide Squad movie in an unknown role.

Now it’s being rumored that Common is playing the Aquaman villain, Black Manta.

The character does have a history with the Suicide Squad in the comics as most recently in the New 52, Black Manta turned down Amanda Waller’s offer to join the Suicide Squad while in prison (more than once).

If true, we can guess Common may basically have a cameo in Suicide Squad setting him up for the Jason Momoa Aquaman movie.

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, and Viola Davis is playing Amanda Waller.

Fast & Furious 7’s James Wan Wanted For Aquaman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19995:]]

It’s reported James Wan is WB’s top choice to direct the Aquaman movie starring Jason Momoa.

THR reports that hot off the heels of the of Fast & Furious 7‘s $500 million debut, Warner Bros. is in preliminary talks with Wan.

It’s said there is no offer on the table, but the hope is in choosing Wan that the director would bring both critical and financial success to Aquaman.

It’s unknown if Wan would be able to find time to direct Aquaman as Wan may potentially direct the Fast & Furious 7 sequel and has The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist in the pipeline as well.

WB wants someone like James Wan to bring a more serious approach to Aquaman, whom has been the butt of jokes amongst fans for decades. We see that WB is pretty serious about the character by choosing Momoa as well.

Jason Momoa will first appear in Batman Vs . Superman before Aquaman and will be a part of the two Justice League movies.

Aquaman is due in 2018 with two separate scripts being written by Will Beall and Kurt Johnstad, respectively.

Jason Momoa Says Aquaman Will Be Bad Ass Because Of Him

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19920:]]

Some fans of the comic books consider Aquaman a second-rate superhero, but come March 2016 the King of the Seven Seas will be played by Jason Momoa.

Momoa is set to first appear in Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League followed by the standalone Aquaman film, with Momoa telling Total Film magazine Aquaman will be bad ass in the movies.

“Aquaman will be badass, otherwise they wouldn’t cast me for the role,” Momoa offered. “Being Hawaiian, our gods are Kanaloa and Maui, and the Earth is 71 percent water, so I got to represent that. I get to represent all the islanders, not some blond-haired superhero.”

The article also mentions that Momoa will be featured in Justice League Part 2 as well, with all his appearances looking to be a part of an origin-type story.

“It will probably be this whole origin story, I would think…” stated Momoa.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

While chatting about his SundanceTV series The Red Road, Jason Momoa also talks about Aquaman and the Justice League movie.

Fear not fans of The Red Road, Momoa says if a third season is green lit, he will still have time to do it. 

Regarding the Justice League movie, Momoa offers he hasn’t read a script as of yet.

“Justice League is quite a ways off. We don’t have scripts and stuff like that,” Momoa told THR. “I’ll bring my professionalism there. I’ll bring my sense of humor. Hopefully people will like that. If they don’t I’ll modify it.”

Momoa also talks about the big reveal when Zack Snyder released the first image of Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

“Michael [Wilkinson], the head costume designer, he created all of that,” Momoa said. “I basically just showed up and he made it happen. And it’s all Zack, through his genius mind.”

Momoa continues with mention that balancing the smaller TV roles with the larger movies roles is a “dream job.”

“I have a TV show that I love,” Momoa said. “I’m going to be in one of the biggest movies in history in a minute, playing a superhero. And I have kids so that’s cool. My kids can finally see something that I’m in.”

Prior to Justice League in 2017 and Aquaman in 2018, Jason Momoa will be first appearing in Batman Vs. Superman next March as well.

The cast of Arrow and The Flash attended PaleyFest where a pair of super cool trailer was released.

Clevver Movies YouTube also managed to ask the cast which of the DC movies they were most looking forward to.

John Barrowman offers when he was younger Aquaman was his fantasy, with Paul Blackthorne adding, “Oh, yeah. Me, too.” Barrowman then jokes, “I bet. He’s such a liar,” and offers a story about his husband, Scott: “I joke with [him] all the time that I’m going to give him an Aquaman outfit that he can swim around in the swimming pool with, but we’ll just leave it at that.”

Jesse L. Martin also likes Aquaman: “Jason Momoa is the man. And the picture they showed – it’s nothing at all like I thought Aquaman would look like, but it’s still really cool. Like really, really cool.”
