2016 Camaro Rumored For Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20796:]]

Could Lex Luthor be seen cruising down the street in a custom 2016 Chevy Camaro during Batman Vs. Superman?

Well, the rumor is the new Chevy Camaro may be appearing in the Zack Snyder movie.

USA Today, of all places, reports on the possibility as Chevy has filed a trademark for a “Camaro Krypton” and “Krypton” in addition to the car being built in Lansing, Michigan where Snyder filmed Batman Vs. Superman.

As of now, the rumor appears to be just that as the designer on the 2016 Camaro says it’s news to him.

“I think that’s just internet buzz, which is great,” Oppenheiser told the Detroit Free Press, a sister publication to USA Today. “It’s another thing about this segment of cars: there’s always internet buzz.” 

Oppenheimer continues with mention in which he may be attempting to steer (sorry, bad pun) people in the wrong direction.

“Sometimes when we come up with a new color in our studios, they just apply (for a trademark) in case we ever use it,” Oppenheiser said. “We never said we’re going to do anything with that color.” 

It’s possible the 2016 Chevy Camaro may be a product placement for the movie. Batman vs. Superman‘s predecessor, Man of Steel, revved up (sorry, another one) more than 100 contracts and an additional $160 million from corporate sponsors including Sears, Nokia, Wal-Mart and more.

As Kyrypton is the home planet of Superman – and also a reference to Kryptonite – perhaps if not Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne might be driving the custom Camaro Krypon? Or maybe even Clark Kent?

“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.

Watch: George Clooney Apologizes For Destroying Batman

While recently promoting Tomorrowland on the UK’s Graham Norton Show, actor George Clooney apologizes for ruining Batman.

Clooney starred in the 1997 Batman & Robin film, which featured the “bat nipples” in addition to a huge cast of actors and characters.

Whether it as Clooney’s fault or Joel Schumacher’s (or both) is up for debate.

Batman wouldn’t be revisited until eight years later when Christopher Nolan released Batman Begins in 2005.

“I always apologize for Batman & Robin,” Clooney said.

Greg Capullo Teases Jared Leto Joker Image May Not Be Real

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20322:]]

When WB released the first look at Jared Leto as the Joker for Suicide Squad, the internet exploded.

Reaction swung both ways, but the tattoos seem to be what most fans disliked.

Then speculation began with thought the image wasn’t really Leto’s Joker as rumors began swirling the tattoos were just for Joker’s 75th Anniversary.

A reported Hollywood insider even said the image isn’t what Leto will look like in Suicide Squad, and then a second rumor stated the tattoos were just being used to cover something else up.

Now former Spawn and Quasar artist, Greg Capullo, who now draws Batman for DC Comics, has added some fuel to the fire.

During a DC Comics Twitter Q&A, Capullo stated he thought the look was “pretty rad,” but then offered, “I heard it was just a troll.”

“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.

Ben Affleck In Batsuit Suicide Squad Set Image

We get our first live look at Ben Affleck in the new Batman costume as Affleck is on the Suicide Squad Set in Toronto.

It’s not a full reveal as the crew is doing its best to hide the actor from the public’s eyes.

Affleck was also spotted as Bruce Wayne, and locals said they spotted the Batmobile.

It’s unknown how involved Batman is in the movie, but it looks to be larger than previously thought.

“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.

Advanced Review: Batman #40

There are tales in comics that truly reveal how the medium can transcend all others. These instances are swollen with theatrical imagery, drama and action sequences that exceed those of movie or television. Ones that put a microscope on the duality of heroism, eloquently portray the finality of man and grace us with inevitable quest for hope more than prose or poetry can. Tales that dazzle the senses with color and form, juxtaposition and layout more than any art museum could hope for. 

Scott Snyder’s Batman #40 is one of those tales.

The final chapter of “Endgame” is a stunning piece that will move readers. It is a cornucopia of themes, burrowing deeper into the mythos of Batman than Snyder has ever gone before. At moments you are careening down an unmanned roller coaster, a journey that will have you gasping for air then, suddenly, you are left completely breathless, hovering above it all not being able to believe where you are or how you came to be in this position. It is a story of life, the inevitability of death and the realization of who we are along the way. 

I have often called Scott Snyder the “modern day master of horror,” and I will again now. His portrayal of the Joker as a malevolent, undulating demigod of terror has become synonymous with horror on multiple levels and will surpass many incarnations from the past seventy-five years as THE Joker! But the fear in this book does not solely come from the Joker, it is deeper than that, even though Greg Capullo’s renderings of the “clown prince” and his Cheshire grin will always scare the hell out of me! It comes from Bruce and his final realization that he is not the man he always thought he was. It is that revelation that sometimes, even though we have fought so hard to believe otherwise, we were inevitably wrong about ourselves.

Scott Snyder has created a masterpiece of storytelling that will be beloved and despised like all great works are. He has taken a rich world and made it richer in just forty issues, a feat rarely seen in the medium today. He has taken risks and pushed a hero to the brink and beyond and I thank him for the nerve to give us something never seen before with such an iconic character. 

The beginning will ensnare you, the middle will enthrall you and the end will crush you. Who could ask for anything more?
