Zack Snyder Says Ben Affleck Isn’t The Batman He First Imagined (Video)
The co-creator of Batman, Bob Kane, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with Batman Vs. Superman director Zack Snyder in attendance, DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee and more.
Kane created Batman back in 1939 along with Bill Finger, who for the first time this week received credit for creating the Caped Crusader in the DC Comics.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22578:]]
Regarding Zack Snyder, he spoke about Ben Affleck wearing the Batsuit for the first time offering Affleck wasn’t his first choice as the Dark Knight. Here’s the text (via CBM):
I just wanted to first say that it’s an honor to be able to speak here at the dedication of [Bob Kane’s] star as it’s an amazing achievement, and it’s great that we’re all recognizing him because he’s given us an amazing gift wth Batman.
Recently, I got to make this film Batman v Superman, and in the process, I had to design a Batman character. I had to do a suit. “I don’t know if you know anything about the process, but what you do is over months of meticulous designing and editing, you come to an aesthetic you believe will be the Batman you want to see. Along with my costume designer Michael Wilkinson, we did just that and we came to the point where we were going to test the suit on Ben [Affleck]. So, we had built a set of an alley, graffiti, barrels with fire, steamy stuff, and it was this very kind of noir-ish setting to film our Batman for the first time. Ben put the suit on, and we put him in front of the camera, and I was just having him turn and look around looking Batman-ish, and it was amazing because I felt in that moment that I had achieved this goal that I had set out for myself. When I looked at Ben, he was the perfect personification of the Batman I had in my mind.
The truth is, he wasn’t really the Batman I had imagined. Bob really had put him there in my mind, through years of TV shows, comic books, movies. I realized that we all – every single one of us – has a Batman, an imaginary Batman, in our minds, lurking in the shadows. That’s Bob’s legacy.

Fan Theory Says Christian Bale In Batman Vs. Superman
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22570:]]
Now this is one batsh-t insane theory for Batman Vs. Superman, but it’s a heck of an entertaining one, and seeing how the guy put in a lot of effort and time into coming up with it, I think it’s at least worth a mention.
The theory comes from a Brazilan site totalspoiler.com (via moviepilot) that – long story short – says Man of Steel and Batman Vs. Superman continue the Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy. Yes, that means the two movies are set within the Nolan universe with Christian Bale still being the Batman.
The theory states Ben Affleck is NOT playing Bruce Wayne — he’s actually Deathstroke Slade Wilson. It’s theorized that Jeremy Irons is NOT playing Alfred, but Deathstroke’s own butler, William Randolph Wintergreen. It’s further theorized that Jared Leto is actually playing Robin John Blake from The Dark Knight Rises (just that the character has been recast from Joseph Gordon Levitt, which is similar to what happened with Rachel Dawes). It’s also said Jenna Malone is playing Deathstroke’s daughter, Rose Wilson.
The guy goes over a ton of “evidence” to support his theory ranging from the “v” in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actually stands for the Roman Numeral five — meaning Batman v Superman is actually the FIFTH of the Nolan movies (Man of Steel being the fourth) to the fact that the letters of “John Blake” add up to “joke.”
Scenes from the Batman Vs. Superman trailer are also used to back up the claims of Ben Affleck as Deathstroke as the guy thinks the look of Batman in the movie references when Deathstroke was Batman in the comics (Outsiders vol 3 #22).
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22568:]]
A rather interesting piece of evidence is also pointed out as in the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game Deathstroke says a similar line to what Batman told Superman in the trailer: “I will make you bleed.” The end of the BvS trailer has Batman stating, “Do you bleed? You will.”
Obviously, this outlandish theory may prove false, but the guy does put put forth the rather smart-sounding argument that Batman v Superman is being used to create a second “Batman-caliber” character on the big screen with Deathstroke, described as becoming similar in popularity with what Marvel did for Iron Man.
So if Ben Affleck is playing Deathstroke, the theory goes that Christian Bale will be appearing at the end of Batman Vs. Superman (forming the Justice League?) and will appear in the Justice League Part 1 and Part 2 movies, with Affleck also appearing as Deathstoke in Suicide Squad.
Sound crazy?

Amy Adams & Scott McNairy Weigh In On Batman Vs. Superman
Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con Trailer
We’re about five months away from big debut of Batman Vs. Superman which will launch the Justice League-shared universe as the DC Trinity will be seen together on the big screen.
Warner Bros. has yet to release a new trailer, but a LexCorp viral campaign has started and details about what’s not in the movie have trickled out.
Now both Amy Adams and Scoot McNairy weigh in on the film offering Batman Vs. Superman is both humorous and serious at the same time.
Adams, who will be reprising as Lois Lane from Man of Steel, tells THR: “I can’t give too much away, but I’m coming into a scene and Batman and Superman are both in the scene, so I can say that. And it was just fun. Because they had been working together for a couple weeks and just running it, seeing this dynamic. I’ll talk about this when we’re promoting the movie and we can tell more. But there were definitely funny moments involving bat-suits and such.”
McNairy, whose own role is shrouded in secrecy (yet may have been revealed in a fan-theory), stated in a recent press event (picked up by We Got This Covered): “This is the superhero film that is more grounded in reality than any of the other ones. It’s a comic book movie, yes, but it’s very, very grounded.”

OMAC Speculated For Batman Vs. Superman
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22510:]]
Following Cosmic Book News breaking the story that Doomsday will not be featured in Batman Vs. Superman, a fan theory has surfaced online suggesting OMAC will be a villain.
The gang over at the Super Hero Hype Message boards have put forth a rather convincing argument that Zack Snyder will be tying OMAC into LexCorp and Lex Luthor.
Perhaps one of the most visually compelling arguments comes in the form of the LexCorp logo from the trailer and the art of OMAC from the comics which share the same color scheme:
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22509:]]
The recent Batman Vs. Superman LexCorp viral video also seemingly teases the involvement of OMAC :
At LexCorp Industries, we believe in technology that unites us, where inspiration, innovation and imagination all come together to create a greater tomorrow, today. Now, LexCorp is proud to announce Lex/OS the world’s most private and secure operating system. Engineered with the protection you need, and the freedom you want. To celebrate, please enjoy our free Lex Wi-Fi throughout this venue and visit our LexCorp booth for your free charging device. LexCorp and the New Lex/OS, providing the safety and confidence we need in an ever changing world. Let’s build a better tomorrow.
With Luthor stating:
We are on the cusp of unveiling a technology that will change the world forever. It’s about safety. This is a product that will protect you, and everyone, from threats you don’t even know about yet. I don’t want to scare anybody… much. But there are a lot of threats out there, and they’re here today.
In the comics, the OMACs are humans transformed by a Brainiac virus into living machines/cyborgs that are used to assassinate any and all beings with superpowers created by the Defense Department and LexCorp. In Batman Vs. Superman, it’s possible Lex may create OMAC with the use of Zod’s corpse.

No Doomsday For Batman Vs. Superman; Visual Effects Completed
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22505:]]
The visual effects on Batman Vs. Superman have finished as a 3D creature artist who works at MPC posted the above on image Instagram and also revealed Doomsday is not in the film.
“Batman v Superman is wrapped, one the best films i have worked on! My inner child is happy!” Sean Ray added. “I’m the biggest superman fan ever! So it was a dream to work on it! Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen in March! I can’t wait!! Good job everyone who worked on it.”
It’s long been rumored and speculated that Doomsday would be featured in Batman Vs. Superman (with some thinking Michael Shannon playing the part); however, the artist responds in the comments the Superman villain is not in the film.
“Hahaha lol unfortunately he’s not in the film, maybe in the man of steel squel or justice league film who knows,” Ray said responding to being asked if he created a model for Doomsday.
Update: Here is a screenshot of the conversation:

Flash Movie Costume Rumored To Look Like Armor
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22414:]]
I suppose when you are the fastest man alive nothing can weigh you down because, according to a new rumor, The Flash suit Ezra Miller may be wearing in the movie is described as similar to armor.
According to Den Of Geek, a source filled them in that the movie studio is trying to avoid “any comparison to the well designed and received TV version,” and that they are aiming to create a more “tech-based” suit that is said to look quite different than the Grant Gustin Flash costume.
It’s said the Ezra Miller Flash costume will look more “like armor” with comparisons to The Flash from the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game (see above).
Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen is also described as a “tech geek.”
Speaking of Miller he has some rather large shoes to fill as Gustin’s Flash is pretty popular. Interestingly enough, we do already have seen alternate versions of characters on the TV series, and Miller even stated they exist in parallel universes, so hopefully both can work at the same time (though separate).
Ezra Miller debuts in Batman Vs. Superman next March followed by Justice League and The Flash standalone movie in 2019 directed by Seth Grahame-Smith with a script by Grahame-Smith based on the story from Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

Batman Vs. Superman LexCorp Teaser Unlocked at NYCC
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22395:]]
Updated: with LexCorp promo below.
Cosmic Book News just arrived at the New York Comic-Con where we proceeded to the LexCorp booth.
The booth has on display the Batman Vs. Superman costumes, Batman gadgets, action figures and off the various trailers including Batman Vs. Superman and Suicide Squad.
Yesterday saw the news hit that LexCorp will be providing free WIFI for NYCC attendees.
When I connected to the LexCorps WIFI it took me to a login page where I had to enter my e-mail. It then forwarded me to a LexCorp teaser on YouTube.
The bad news is I was only able to connect on my iPhone and unable to get the link to the trailer. I did manage to grab a couple of screen shots.
WB did just launch a LexCorp YouTube channel and the Lex Luthor official Twitter account did tweet out a second tweet: “Where will you be when the future begins? #LexCorp Oct 8-11.” The YouTube channel presently has no videos listed, so I am assuming the LexCorps teaser/promo is presently unlisted.
We’re also unable to connect to the LexCorps WIFI through our laptops, so we’re presently unable to grab the teaser that way. (Note: The LExCorps WiFi may only work around the booth.)
Where will you be when the future begins? #LexCorp Oct 8-11

Watch: Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Batman Vs Superman
Renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is back once again choosing Superman over Batman.
Tyson previously said “Batman is just a guy with a nice belt,” and now says more of the same in that Batman wouldn’t stand a chance in a cage fight versus Superman.
Tyson also goes on to make a point that we all know Batman is human while Superman is Superman.
“Superman would wipe his butt with Batman,” Tyson offers. “That’s basically what would happen there.”
Tyson then goes on to say a better fight would be Batman Vs. Iron Man as they are both human.
The astrophysicist does say that Batman does stand a chance against Superman, just not in a physical confrontation. Batman would need to go a different avenue, such as in the court of public opinion (or even one that of the government).

Possibly No Major Batman Announcement Coming At NYCC
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22364:]]
Possible bad news, Bat-fans.
While Batman Vs. Superman is confirmed to have a presence on the floor of the New York Comic-Con with a LexCorp booth, the speculated “major announcement” teased by producer Michael Uslan from a few days ago may not actually be Batman-related.
Michael Uslan, who has been a producer on every Batman movie, told USA Today last Friday that a major announcement is coming at the NYCC on Saturday at 1:45pm.
As DC is holding a Batman panel around the same time, many online (us included) speculated the announcement to possibly be related to the rumored Ben Affleck solo Batman movie.
However, now it’s learned Michael Uslan is actually a part of a THUNDER Agents panel that takes place Saturday at 1:45pm.
Of course, it’s always possible something Batman Vs. Superman could still be announced at the DC Batman panel, with Uslan simply not being in attendance.
Here is the official info sent out by WB regarding THUNDER Agents:

1:45PM to 2:45PM – T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents panel

Batman Vs. Superman Confirmed For NYCC; LexCorp Providing WiFi
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22359:]]
Batman Vs. Superman has been confirmed to be in attendance at this week’s New York Comic-Con.
Just yesterday saw Warner Bros. kick off the Lex Luthor viral marketing campaign with a new Jesse Eisenberg image, Lex Luthor Twitter account and Lex Luthor “interview.”
Now it’s learned LexCorps will be in attendance at the NYCC.
The official NYCC floor plan map has LexCorp as booth “SC02” which is directly attached to the DC Entertainment booth “SC01.” The NYCC also has a listing for LexCorp, but doesn’t have a description.

Batman Vs. Superman Viral Marketing Kicks Off With Lex Luthor
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22333:]]
We’re about six months away from Batman Vs. Superman, and now WB has launched the first viral marketing campaign for the movie which kicks off with Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor.
A Lex Luthor LexCorp Twitter Account has been created which links to an article over at Fortune featuring a LexCorp sponsored article with: “Lex Luthor Jr.: Not Just His Father’s LexCorp.” The article features an “interview” with Lex, which makes mention of Lex Sr. having passed away and more.
“Well, Dad was a complicated guy,” his down-to-Earth son notes as we pass a tasteful display of his world-famous collection of meteorite crystals. “He came from a country where the government, in the guise of protector, had absolute control over the citizens. That drove him. I get it. Heck, I’d hate to see that sort of thing happen over here.”
.@FortuneMagazine Looking forward to reading about #LexCorp. Father would be proud. http://t.co/esCqzVAaAz

Steven Spielberg Once Again Says Superhero Genre Will Collapse
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22318:]]
About a month ago saw Steven Spielberg make mention that the superhero movie genre will go the way of the Western genre and die.
Now while speaking with USA Today, Spielberg offers up more of the same sentiments.
In clarifying earlier statements he was thought to have said about the film industry as a whole, Spielberg offers that he was actually talking about the collapse of superhero films.
“To clarify, I didn’t ever predict the implosion of the film industry at all,” he explained. “I simply predicted that a number of blockbusters in one summer — those big sort of tent-pole superhero movies — there was going to come a time where two or three or four of them in a row didn’t work. That’s really all I said. I didn’t say the film industry was ever going to end because of them.”
Spielberg also continued with mention again of comparisons to Westerns.
“[The superhero genre] doesn’t have the legs or the longevity of the Western, which was around since the beginning of film and only started to wither and shrivel in the ’60s.”
Spielberg’s comments caused Batman Vs. Superman director Zack Snyder and Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige to respond.
Regarding Snyder’s response, which also contained a jab at Marvel, Snyder said he felt Batman and Superman were bigger than the superhero genre.
Kevin Feige’s own response didn’t seem to worrisome about the matter as Feige stated if Spielberg’s words hold true, that would mean Marvel is still in its infancy.

Lex Luthor Is Scary in Batman Vs. Superman Says Jesse Eisenberg
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22317:]]
Update: WB has launched a Lex Luthor viral marketing campaign.
If there was any question as to what kind of bad guy Lex Luthor will be in Batman Vs. Superman, Jesse Eisenberg offers up further evidence that this version of the Superman villlain will be none like previously seen on the big screen.
Talking with Vulture, Eisenberg reiterates Batman Vs. Superman‘s Lex Luthor will be different than the Richard Donner and Gene Hackman version, and even some of the comic books, which admittedly, have been a bit campy.
There is this trove of stuff about this guy. A lot of it’s repetitive, like he always winds up on the roof of his building giving some faux benevolent talk about how he’s going to change the city. It’s fun to take that campy cartoony stuff and try to put it into a real person and try to reconcile the two.
Eisenberg goes on to offer up a clue that Lex Luthor will come off as a bad guy, but just how so remains to be seen.
this movie is so different … it has real psychological underpinnings, and this movie character feels like a real scary person.”

Kevin Feige Responds To Steven Spielberg & Zack Snyder’s Super Hero & Marvel Comments
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22296:]]
Will the Marvel super hero movies go the way of the Western genre? That’s pretty much what Steven Spielberg recently said, but guess what? That’s okay with Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige.
Feige recently took part in an Avengers: Age Of Ultron Blu-Ray event where he discussed Marvel’s Phase 4 plans, Infinity War, Marvel TV, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man. IGN caught up with Feige to get his thoughts on Spielberg’s comments as well as what Batman Vs. Superman director Zack Snyder recently had to say about Ant-Man and the Marvel movies not being iconic.
Regarding Spielberg’s comments, Feige offered the Western genre lasted almost fifty years, so what would mean Marvel is still in its infancy.
“The Western lasted 40-50 years, and they still pop up occasionally,” Feige said. “It’s been, what, eight years since Iron Man 1 if we count that, which I do, as the beginning of our MCU? Maybe [the superhero genre] will only last another 42 years.”
Feige also offered a rebuttal to Snyder’s comments that Marvel movies are the “flavor of the week.”
“I think we’ve been doing pretty well. I’m very confident in the films we’ve announced that we have coming forward that they’re going to be surprising and different and unique,” Feige offered. “They all happen to be based on Marvel characters and Marvel comics, but from a genre and a cinematic perspective, they’re all very unique. Civil War may as well be a different genre from Age of Ultron.”
Feige continued by offering an an example of comparing Spielberg and Snyder’s sentiments to movies that have adapted popular novels, as obviously the novel-to-movie industry is booming and won’t be going the way of the Western any time soon.
“The way Winter Soldier was a political thriller, I think there is a more emotional and more geopolitical and real world through line through Civil War than there was in the broader Age of Ultron with the killer AI Tony Stark invention,” Feige said. “I think it’s the same thing as saying: ‘I don’t know how many more movies can be made from novels. I think people are going to bored with novels being turned into movies. I don’t know how long it’s going to last.'”
Speaking of the Winter Soldier, Sebastian Stan also recently fired a few shots in the direction of Zack Snyder defending the Marvel brand as well.

Batman Vs. Superman Rated PG-13 For Sensuality
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22264:]]
The official rating for Batman Vs. Superman is in, which should come to no surprise, as the film is rated PG-13.
What may come as a bit of a surprise is the reason is in part due to “sensuality.”
intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality
Basically what that means is we’ll see some people getting down in the movie. Maybe Bruce Wayne hooks up with Wonder Woman?

Big News Coming at NYCC Says Batman Producer Michael Uslan
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22254:]]
Big news is coming at next week’s New York Comic-Con regarding what could possibly be the next Batman movie.
Michael Uslan, who has been a producer on every Batman movie, told USA Today: “On Saturday October 10 we plan on making a major announcement. Stay tuned. Join us at 1:45 p.m. in one of the large rooms. You won’t want to miss what’s going to take place there.”
More than likely the large room Uslan is talking about is the “Batman: The Bat Universe” panel, which takes place that same Saturday on the Empire Stage at the NYCC Javits Center. Here is the official description:
A veritable who’s who of Bat-talent will gather together in Gotham for “DC Comics – Batman: The Bat-Universe.” Explore the latest adventures of the World’s Greatest Detective with Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo (BATMAN), Amy Chu (POISON IVY: CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH), Khary Randolph (WE ARE ROBIN), Tom King and Tim Seeley (GRAYSON), Peter Tomasi (BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT), and James Tynion IV (BATMAN ETERNAL), and be the first to witness never-before-seen art and breaking Batman news. Saturday, 1:30 pm, Empire Stage 1E.
It’s pure speculation, but Uslan may be talking about the standalone Ben Affleck Batman movie that has recently been rumored. Affleck has been said to be attached to three Batman movies in which he will star and direct.
Of course, the announcement could be about a number of things as Uslan is also involved with Batman Vs. Superman. It’s possible the news could be Justice League related or about another DC movie.
Cosmic Book News will be in attendance at the NYCC. You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep up with all the news as it happens.

Michael Shannon Jokes More About His Batman Vs. Superman Role
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22252:]]
Michael Shannon previously made mention he wears flippers for Batman Vs. Superman, which drove the internet wild with speculation Zod may become Doomsday or maybe even Bizarro.
Shannon has since come out and said he made it all up, and now while talking with Screen Rant says more of the same, but does offer a “no comment” when questioned if he actually has more of a role than the body bag scene depicted in the trailer.
Flippers? I think that might be a prime example of my scatological humor. People ask me a lot about Batman v Superman and I really don’t have anything to say about it, so sometimes I just make up stuff, which I’m sure Warner Bros. is really happy about.
I run for President (laughs). Uh, no, you know, I think it’s better left unsaid. I mean, when does the movie come out?
Yeah, I don’t want to spoil it for anybody. Yeah, no comment.
It’s speculated Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor gets a hold of Zod’s corpse and experiments with it, perhaps creating the Luthor Warsuit from the comics or maybe even one of the above mentioned Superman villains.

Matt Damon Would Play Daredevil For Christopher Nolan
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22232:]]
With Ben Affleck becoming the new Batman, long time friend to Affleck, Matt Damon, has been fielding questions about which super hero he would play.
While Damon recently said he views Jason Bourne as a super hero – and one that could kick the sh-t out of Batman – in a new interview with the NY Daily News, Damon actually says he would like to play the Man Without Fear.
“For us it was always ‘Daredevil’ — that’s the comic we read when we were kids. But when that one came along (in 2003) I chickened out, because I couldn’t tell. I hadn’t seen the director (Mark Steven Johnson’s) work and I didn’t know. So I just said, ‘No.’ Ben was like, ‘I gotta do it.’
“And the movie ended up doing very well, even though I don’t think Ben was ultimately very proud of it.”
“If Chris Nolan came up to me and said, ‘I want to do Daredevil,’ I would be in.”
“Just putting that out there,” he joked.
More than likely Damon becoming Daredevil wouldn’t happen as Charlie Cox plays the character for the Marvel Netflix series. Damon also commented about Affleck choosing to don the cape and cowl.
“I think he approached it the right way, which is, ‘Can I make a great superhero movie?’ rather than, ‘Do I want to play a superhero?’ I’d consider it if the right thing came along,
Matt Damon is currently filming the fifth Bourne movie, which has a July 29, 2016 release.

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.

Batman Vs. Superman is Man of Steel 2 Says Zack Snyder; Talks Justice League
Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con Trailer
With rumors of George Miller directing a Man of Steel sequel, the question of a second Superman standalone movie is brought up to director Zack Snyder, who seems to insinuate it’s not their top priority as he makes mention Batman Vs. Superman is essentially Man of Steel 2.
Snyder, talking with Canoe.com about the Doritos contest, offered the following about Man of Steel 2 and Justice League:
I think in a way Batman v Superman is Man of Steel 2. Justice League is kind of the transcendent, knights-of-the-round-table of the story. It’d be interesting to think about what a standalone Superman movie might be.”
Regarding Justice League, Snyder also offers his thoughts about going from Dawn of the Dead back in 2004 to now doing DC movies:
“At that point I was really into (Frank Miller’s comic) The Dark Knight Returns. I don’t know that I thought about it in those terms, but if you told me that I might make a Justice League movie, I wouldn’t think that that was weird. But I don’t think I would realize what it meant to pop culture the way it has struck pop culture right now.”
