Kevin Conroy Not Comfortable With Batman Vs. Superman
Long time Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy offers his thoughts on Ben Affleck as the new Dark Knight in addition to his feelings on Batman Vs. Superman.
While promoting the animated Batman: The Killing Joke movie – that is not without its own controversy and negative criticisms – Kevin Conroy offers the following to IGN.
Regarding Ben Affleck as Batman:
I love the fact that Warner Brothers have for the live-action Batman changed the casting so frequently. I think it’s really interesting to see different actors in the role, to see what they bring to the character. Everyone brings something different.
And there have been so many actors that have been wonderful. I liked Michael Keaton and I like what Ben Affleck is doing with it now. But they couldn’t be more different. It’s just the same with the Joker. When I started working with Mark Hammill I thought no one would ever nail the Joker better than Mark Hamill, and then I saw Heath Ledger, and he knocked it out of the park in just a different way.
While Kevin Conroy may be a fan of Ben Affleck, he notes he wasn’t all too thrilled with what went down in Batman Vs. Superman.
Personally I love the fact that Batman – in the stories I’ve done, and the way he’s been rendered by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, the people I’ve worked with most closely – he never kills anybody. He doesn’t cross that line. Batman is not a killer.
He puts them into Arkham Asylum, which is what is so brilliant about the Arkham Games – someone realized, ‘my god, all these incredible villains are all in the same institution – let’s get a video game in there’. It’s a brilliant idea. But the fact that Batman never kills anyone – I loved that fact.
In the most recent live action movie, that seems to have been a line that was crossed and it’s not one I’m particularly comfortable with.”
Check out video below that Kevin Conroy released a while back where he discusses who would win between Batman or Superman. Conroy goes into why Batman is such a relatable character and offers that Batman thinks his way out of things, which probably explains why Batman doesn’t need to kill — at least in Conroy’s mind. Stick around until the end to hear Conroy offer Batman’s perspective on the matter (and voice).

Wonder Woman Movie Said To Be A Mess By Alleged Former WB Employee
Update: Patty Jeknins fires back at the rumors.
Original story:
Is it Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad all over again?
According to an alleged former Warner Bros. employee, things aren’t looking good for Wonder Woman as well.
An open letter (more of a rant) to WB Ceo Kevin Tsujihara goes off about the current state of WB and the DC movies.
The person that penned the rant, posted to pajiba, goes on to complain about all the layoffs at Warner Bros. blaming Kevin Tsujihara for them because of his poor decision making resulting in a string of movies that have all flopped.
You just don’t get it. And it’s not just DC movies, it’s your whole slate. Jupiter Ascending. Get Hard. Hot Pursuit. Max. Vacation. Pan. Point Break. Fucking PAN, you jerk. People lost their jobs and you decided Pan was a good idea. You think another Jungle Book is a good idea.
Regarding the DC movies, it seems that Suicide Squad was the last straw for the writer of the article.
I kept holding off on doing anything with it because of one title: Suicide Squad. Zack Snyder’s Dawn of Justice was a fiasco, but here comes this plucky little dark adventure about antiheroes. I love David Ayer. I love Harley Quinn. I love Will Smith. Put the letter in a drawer. The ship isn’t sinking anymore. Everything is fine. There’s no way this movie is bad.
And here we are. I got back from my screening and dusted this sucker off. You, your executive team, and the vision of your ‘extraordinary storytellers’ that resulted in the loss of around one thousand jobs seem intent on crashing the ship into as much shit as you can find in the ocean by making inane decisions over and over again.
Regarding, Wonder Woman, the writer pens to Tsujihara:
What are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn’t be such a mess. Don’t try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it’s another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.
Zack Snyder also takes some blame:
Zack Snyder is not delivering. Is he being punished? Assistants who were doing fantastic work certainly were. People in finance and in marketing and in IT. They had no say in a movie called Batman V Superman only having 8 minutes of Batman fighting Superman in it, that ends because their moms have the same name. Snyder is a producer on every DC movie. He is still directing Justice League. He is being rewarded with more opportunity to get more people laid off. I’m assuming you yourself haven’t been financially affected in any real way. You and your studio are the biggest lesson about life one can learn: The top screws up and the bottom suffers. Peter Jackson phones it in and a marketing supervisor has to figure out a plan B for house payments.
“Wonder Woman” has a June 2, 2017 release directed by Patty Jenkins starring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Connie Nielsen.
Synopsis:
Wonder Woman hits movie theaters around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Suicide Squad Beats Out Captain America: Civil War & The Avengers 2
How about that?
Suicide Squad, despite the poor reviews, has again beaten out Guardians of the Galaxy, and now also beats out Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War and The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
Following Suicide Squad‘s record breaking August and Monday screenings, now it’s learned Suicide Squad has broken the record for the Tuesday August box office.
Suicide Squad netted $14.27 million, which is actually up 9% from Monday. The number also passes Guardians of the Galaxy‘s first Tuesday and also beats Captain America: Civil War‘s $13.76 million, Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s $13.1 million and Batman v. Superman‘s $12.7 million Tuesday.
Suicide Squad is near $300 million worldwide:
U.S: $161,087,183
Foreign: $133,300,000
Total: $294,387,183
“Suicide Squad” is 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, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.
Synopsis:
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

No Worries About Wonder Woman Movie
Following all the negative reviews for Batman Vs. Superman and Suicide Squad, I’ve seen more than a few reactions state the same regarding the upcoming Gal Gadot Wonder Woman movie.
While it’s true that both Batman Vs. Superman and Suicide Squad had their faults, they were at least enjoyable and lots of people did love them (I’m fond of the BvS Ultimate Edition myself).
Regarding Wonder Woman, this will be the first DC movie that Geoff Johns is directly involved with. Johns helped write the Wonder Woman script, and he was also on set in England. Following the Batman Vs. Superman fallout, Johns was elevated to President of DC Entertainment, and you can even argue he is in a better position than that of Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige. While Feige is simply in charge of the Marvel movies, Geoff Johns is involved with all forms of DC: from movies, to TV, to comics to gaming. The Batman Vs. Superman fallout also saw various producers ousted from having much influence, so Wonder Woman probably won’t have the interference that Suicide Squad (lots of cuts and versions) and even Batman Vs. Superman (didn’t let Snyder go ahead with his cut of the movie) had.
I’ve said it before, and I know some of you will bring up Green Lantern, but Johns was on board as an executive producer in most likely an advisory role. The writers of Green Lantern also recently came out and said not to blame them as the version of the movie was a lot different than their script. I think the pattern we see is that the execs/producers at WB (whoever they are) interfered with these movies a bit too much, but the good news is that they are apparently no longer involved.
“Wonder Woman” has a June 2, 2017 release directed by Patty Jenkins also starring Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner, and Saïd Taghmaoui.
Synopsis:
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Jason Todd Robin Suicide Squad Easter Egg Revealed
So far 2-for-2 as Jason Todd has been referenced twice with the release of Batman Vs. Superman and Suicide Squad.
We all know the dead Robin suit from Batman Vs. Superman that’s in the Batcave, now we get another reference to Jason Todd in Suicide Squad with Harley Quinn.
As the members of the Suicide Squad were introduced, each member was given an intro featuring credits where it’s learned Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn was involved with the death of Robin (see the image below).
“Accomplice to murder of ROBIN,” Harley Quinn’s intro says.
Joker killed the Jason Todd Robin in the comics as well as the DCEU.
It’s also been rumored that Jason Todd may come back in the upcoming solo The Batman movie as The Red Hood.
Regarding Robin:
WB did confirm it’s Jason Todd.
Robin died around ten years earlier or so in a run in with Joker.
Bruce Wayne is bitterly disappointed and has had previous devastating losses.
The loss of Robin contributed to Batman’s hatred of Superman.
“Suicide Squad” is now in theaters 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, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Suicide Squad & Batman Vs. Superman Fans Petition To Get Rotten Tomatoes Taken Down
As we reported on earlier, Suicide Squad is getting hammered over at the movie review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
If you are unfamiliar with how Rotten Tomatoes works, it gathers reviews from other sites and marks them as “rotten” (negative) or “fresh” (positive), and then gives the movie a percentage based on the outcome.
Suicide Squad is currently “rotten” as only 35% of the current reviews are considered “fresh” (24 positive out of 68 total reviews), which isn’t sitting well with the fans.
If you’ve ever surveyed Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, or various forums, you’ll see some fans posting accusations that many of the sites that do the reviews are pro-Disney and such (shill sites). While there isn’t any proof of some conspiracy, after all, Rotten Tomatoes is partly owned by the movie studio that put out Suicide Squad with Warner Bros., there have been claims that reviewers jump on the “bandwagon” (particularly with Batman Vs. Superman) and post reviews based on trends in order to increase page views.
Now a petition has been started by DC fans asking to take down Rotten Tomatoes, which currently has amassed just about 7000 signatures. The petition accuses Rotten Tomatoes of giving “unjust bad reviews like Batman vs. Superman [and] Suicide Squad that affects people’s opinion even if it’s a really great [movie].”
Regarding Batman Vs. Superman, reviews gathered by Rotten Tomatoes gave it 27 percent positive rating, but what’s rather interesting is that they gave Captain America: Civil War – a rather dull movie in my mind – a whopping 90 percent favorable outcome.
“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, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Batman Vs. Superman Justice League Synopsis & Doomsday Featurette Released
A couple days ago saw new Doomsday concept art released, now check out a new Batman vs. Superman featurette about the Superman-killer.
WB has also updated the Batman Vs. Superman synopsis last month with the release of the Blu-Ray which includes mention of the Justice League characters:
Directed by Zack Snyder and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film is a follow up to 2013’s Man of Steel and is the second installment in the DC Extended Universe. It was written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the first live-action film to feature Batman and Superman together, as well as the first live-action cinematic portrayal of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash. In the film, criminal mastermind Lex Luthor manipulates Batman into a preemptive battle with Superman, whom Luthor is obsessed with defeating.
The general public is concerned over having Superman on their planet and letting the “Dark Knight” – Batman – pursue the streets of Gotham. While this is happening, a power-phobic Batman tries to attack Superman. Meanwhile Superman tries to settle on a decision, and Lex Luthor, the criminal mastermind and millionaire, tries to use his own advantages to fight the “Man of Steel”.

David Ayer also told JoBlo that if given the chance, he wouldn’t mind taking on the Man of Steel.
If everything was on the table? I love Superman, I think Superman would be amazing. There’s so many; it’s such an insanely rich universe, there’s so much depth to it. You could literally open up the encyclopedia of characters and stab your finger at a page and you’d have an amazing character.
And his thoughts on Batman vs. Superman:
I liked it a lot. I love Zack; he is probably the biggest fan of DC Comics. He has an incredible passion in a very specific way, a specific take on it. He’s a smart guy, and I think he heard everybody, he heard them loud and clear, and you grow and you evolve. I thought it was a stunning movie, absolutely stunning. I wish I could get some of those shots in the can. The guy’s an amazing visualist.

Geoff Johns Promoted To President Of DC Entertainment
Update: It’s confirmed.
It’s being said Geoff Johns has been promoted to President of DC Entertainment, though Warner Bros. has yet to make an official announcement.
Johns, known for writing for DC Comics as well as being the DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer, recently received new duties following Batman Vs. Superman.
It’s known Geoff Johns is working with WB film exec Jon Berg on the Justice League movies, so the promotion makes a lot of sense. Johns is also involved with DC TV and remains involved with DC Comics.
According to Bleeding Cool, Geoff Johns is both DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer and President, and still reports to Diane Nelson (who is also President of DC Entertainment). Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, DC Entertainment Co-Publishers, continue report to Diane Nelson as well.
It’s said the promotion happened because of the Batman Vs. Superman “fallout,” and explains the different approach the recent Justice League and Wonder Woman Comic-Con trailers took.
It’s recently become known that Geoff Johns also helped write the Wonder Woman movie script and wrote a treatment for Aquaman with director James Wan as well. Johns is also writing The Batman with Ben Affleck.
I’m sure someone will bring up the fact that Geoff Johns “executive produced” the Green Lantern flop; however, his role could have been more or less as a consultant. There’s also the fact that the writers of the Green Lantern movie, Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, said not to blame themselves for the failure as their script was different than the final product. Reporters who took part in set visits even offered the storyboards they saw on the Green Lantern movie set (which looked cool) weren’t even a part of the finished movie (for whatever reason).
As I previously wrote, DC seems to be in good hands with Geoff Johns, unlike Marvel who is currently a house divided.
It’s also thought Geoff Johns is the reason why DC TV and the movies are now sharing characters played by different actors (Batman is now rumored for DC TV and Tyler Hoechlin will play Superman on Supergirl).

Batman Vs. Superman Oracle Easter Egg Spotted
While Jena Malone was revealed not to be playing Barbara Gordon in Batman Vs. Superman, it turns out the character is at least referenced in the form of an Oracle Easter Egg and may have helped Bruce Wayne crack Lex Luthor’s Justice League code.
An eagle-eyed fan on Reddit posted a screen grab from Batman Vs. Superman of the Batcomputer where Bruce Wayne connected to the Oracle Network to decrypt the Lex file.
Of course, Barbara Gordon in the comics is known as the computer hacker/tech specialist behind Birds of Prey (the character is also rumored to be appearing in Supergirl).
The Oracle Easter Egg could also reference a run in with the Joker, again as in the comics, the Joker shot and paralyzed Barbara Gordon. Interestingly enough, Oracle made her first appearance in an issue of Suicide Squad, the next DCEU movie.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is directed by Zack Snyder 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 as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves.
