Batman Vs. Superman Cereal Debuts At Wizard World New Orleans Comic-Con

Get your first taste of the Batman Vs. Superman cereals this coming weekend at the Wizard World New Orleans Comic-Con.

Previously shown off by DC Entertainment chief creative officer and Batman Vs. Superman producer Geoff Johns, now General Mills has officially revealed the cereals.

The Batman Vs. Superman cereals come in two flavors: “Superman Caramel Crunch” and “Batman Chocolate Strawberry.”

“Superman and Batman continue to appeal to the generations of fans that have enjoyed them for decades, as well as new Super Hero fans experiencing them for the first time,” Alan Cunningham, senior marketing manager, Cereal Innovation, at General Mills said in a statement. “So it doesn’t get much more exciting for us than having the opportunity to feature these iconic characters on their two new cereals.”

The “Superman Caramel Crunch” pieces are shaped like the Superman shield, and “Batman Chocolate Strawberry” pieces are shaped after the Batman emblem.

“We spent extensive time and effort to develop the flavors and look of these cereals, and their packaging, so that they will match the incredible quality of the characters they feature,” Cunningham added.

Fans can visit DCSuperHeroesCereal.Tumblr.com to find fun content, coupons and more about the “Superman Caramel Crunch” and “Batman Chocolate Strawberry” cereals.

The Wizard World New Orleans Comic-Con runs January 8-10.

Watch: Justice League: Crisis Fan-Trailer

I see I am not the only one that has thought of a Justice League “Crisis” movie.

Wouldn’t it be something if following Batman vs. Superman, the two-part Justice League movie was actually a take on “Crisis On Infinite Earths” and featured Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, in addition to appearances by Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Stephen Amell from Arrow, Grant Gustin from The Flash, Brandon Routh reprising as the Christopher Reeve Superman, Supergirl, Michael Rosenbaum as Lex, Jack Nicholson returning as the Joker, and more?

While that may not be on the table, check out a cool Justice League “Crisis” fan-trailer put out by UltraSargent on YouTube.

New Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luthor Image & Viral Content

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23357:]]

Following the three new posters, Warner Bros. has released a new image of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor for Batman Vs. Superman as well as new viral content as part of a sponsored “interview” on Wired.com. We also see a chart with mention of Ted Kord (Blue Beetle), Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) and more.

Here are some highlights:

On superhumans:

RON TROUPE: You’ve been very vocal about that. About the new superhuman threat.

LEX LUTHOR: Well I don’t know where you got that term. I think to be a super human, one should begin by being, you know, from this planet.

Batman:

RON TROUPE: And what are your thoughts on the Batman? He’s human. Presumably.

LEX LUTHOR: Well, he is. In fact, I’d say he’s all too human. Any objective analyst will tell you that his brand of justice, vigilantism, is painfully outmoded, designed to be effective in an age when the law carried billy clubs because crime carried knives. The most dangerous guy on the street worked in the shadows because he was cowardly and superstitious. That’s all you needed to play upon in order to disrupt their operations. You want to clean up the streets? Dress up like the boogeyman, switch on a fog machine and lower your voice.

RON TROUPE: When you put it that way, it sounds ridiculous.

LEX LUTHOR: It didn’t when the Batman first appeared, but that was a long time ago. This is a new world, Ron, and it’s time to get serious.

Mention of ARGUS (and potentially hinting at Suicide Squad):

RON TROUPE: What changed?

LEX LUTHOR: Let’s just say I ran into a wall. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail here. Suffice it to say the dangers we’ve been talking about are very real. And they’re not just limited to a couple of alien brawlers able to level tall buildings in a single bout. I’m ready to sit down with whatever task force the government has assembled — in the interest of sharing intelligence and building solutions together. If she… they… Argus… the government, whatever you want to call it, has a real interest in fighting for the future, they ought to work with those of us who are already on the front lines.

RON TROUPE: I’m sorry, can we— what is Argus?

LEX LUTHOR: What. Is. Argus. Spelled A.R.G.U.S.

“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 as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

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.

Dan Slott Still At It: 24Hrs Bashing Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23090:]]

We’re guessing the next issues of Spider-Man and Silver Surfer may be late, with the blaming lying with the Batman Vs. Superman footage released last night during Gotham.

Marvel Comics writer Dan Slott has spent the last 24 hours blasting the footage, Batman Vs. Superman, Zack Snyder, Man of Steel and Superman on Twitter (read Part 1 and Part 2).

Slott isn’t happy with Snyder’s portrayal of the Man of Steel as the writer feels it’s a “dark/grim/joyless Superman.” Slott goes on to defend his opinions stating, “From watching 2 trailers & all of MAN OF STEEL, my opinions are firmly based and far from ‘senseless.'” Slott even argues to ask Cap fans if they are happy with the character’s portrayal in the Marvel movies, and then to go ahead and ask if the Superman fans are happy with the Henry Cavill version. Slott argues Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers was “on point” for Cap, while Man of Steel was “FAR off point” for Superman.

Slott continues with mention if they switched directors he would be “less wary.”

Here are the latest tweets:

@david83ny Tone of the characters. Flash is Flash. Supergirl is Supergirl. The movie Superman? He’s dark/grim/joyless Superman.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@david83ny Grim is okay. There’s nothing wrong with grim. THE DARK KNIGHT is grim and it’s a fantastic movie. There, the tone is right.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@david83ny I hear you. But for me the take is so off base from what Superman is supposed to be, it might as well be an Elseworlds. :-/

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@Double_Irony If we were talking about Peter and NOT Doc Ock, I’d agree w/ you. Here’s my answer to FAQs about this: https://t.co/qAOCSWujJs

@vanvaldo07 Valery, this is silly. I made a few tweets and answered questions posed to me. You make it sound like some melodramatic crime.

@vanvaldo07 I’m not spoiling anyone’s enjoyment of a trailer. And I’ve worked for DC. And I have promoted DC projects and books online too.

@vanvaldo07 From watching 2 trailers & all of MAN OF STEEL, my opinions are firmly based and far from “senseless”. Also, they’re opinions.

@HarrySif Ask Cap fans if they’re happy w/ Cap’s portrayal in Marvel films. Ask Superman fans if they’re happy w/ Supe’s portrayal in MOS…

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 2, 2015

@HarrySif …see which answer gets the sharper divide.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 2, 2015

@JJ53s411 Not really. I’m a BIG fan of The Dark Knight. Grim is great when it suits the tone of the char. Joyless MOS is wrong for Superman.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 2, 2015

@HarrySif The difference: Track record. CA:FA was on point for Cap’s character. So was Avengers. Man of Steel was FAR off point for Superman

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 2, 2015

@HarrySif If they’d switched directors, I’d be less wary. But this is the SAME guiding hand from MOS that’s now on BvS.

Marvel’s Dan Slott Continues Blasting Batman Vs. Superman On Twitter

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23081:]]

A couple of hours ago saw Marvel Comics writer Dan Slott voice his thoughts on the new Batman Vs. Superman footage that debuted earlier on Gotham.

Dan isn’t too happy by what he is seeing regarding Superman, and he also wasn’t a big fan of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.

Following Cosmic Book News having made note of what Slott had to say (where he deleted his “I dunno. Do you really think Superman would snap one of his enemy’s necks?” comment), Slott has continued blasting both Batman Vs. Superman and Man of Steel on Twitter as well as having to defend himself against accusations of being a Marvel shill, which sees DC Comics Batman writer Scott Snyder brought into the conversation.

Check out the latest tweets (we’re guessing this may go on all night long):

@dceufacts I’ve seen MAN OF STEEL. And now I’ve seen footage of this trailer. That’s a lot to go on. Sorry if you feel differently.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

This is the recent DC trailer that has me the most excited. Because it looks wonderfully trippy and FUN. Can’t wait! https://t.co/FGR4HDb2A4

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@TheThreadpool You’re right. It– the other trailer– and all of MAN OF STEEL– aren’t setting a tone at all. Nope. No tone. Move along. 🙂

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@nona_sanz @Ssnyder1835 Hi. I also praise DC things: The Flash and Supergirl TV shows (regularly), and, of course, Scott & Greg’s book. 🙂

thanks man – back at you! https://t.co/XoaHo5P14x

Hi. Have we met? I’ve also written a run of Batman Adventures, Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, and issues of Superman & JL Adventures too. 🙂

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@jakeriv16 @BatmanvSuperman What’s wrong is the tone they’re selling. In that trailer, the previous trailer, and ALL of MAN OF STEEL.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@TheThreadpool As someone who watched all of Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL, I think I can hazard a guess about Zack Snyder’s BvS. Fair?

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@TheThreadpool The cast and OST for MoS are fantastic. The missteps in tone were unforgivable. But for me, SUPERMAN 1 is a perfect movie. 🙂

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@DipswitchDan This trailer, last trailer, and all of MAN OF STEEL are pretty good indicators of what kind of tone Zack Snyder will deliver.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

“You think all super hero movies should be fun!” No. THE DARK KNIGHT is grim. And brilliant. SUPERMAN movies should be fun & full of hope.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

If it’s a movie about Batman vs Superman, Yes, Batman should be Batman. But Superman should BE Superman. Not this. https://t.co/s9jRZBw887

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@MrWarMachine12 Understood. But the first trailer wasn’t. And neither was the entire run time of MAN OF STEEL– by the same director.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@EvanGrayM Everything from the ticket sales of Guardians of the Galaxy to the ratings The Flash pulls in every week say differently. 🙂

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@Marcohtx Understood. But the Superman in the first trailer was. And so was the guy in ALL of MAN OF STEEL– by the same director.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@joeaveragepal Their way of running away from the core of one of their most iconic characters, who’s time-tested & beloved around the world.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@Guardians_Comic But we’ve seen the other trailer too. And the entirety of MAN OF STEEL. All by the same director. The tone for Supes is off

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@Kayne_Martin The other trailer wasn’t. Neither was the entirety of MAN OF STEEL. All by the same director. Their tone for Superman is off.

Superman Lives Brainiac Concept Art & Designs

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22945:]]

Check out Superman Lives concept art and designs of Brainiac, who was to be the villain of the film, which was to be directed by Tim Burton and set to star Nicholas Cage as the Man of Steel.

In the Kevin Smith version of the script, Brainiac blocks out the sun to make Superman powerless and sends Doomsday to kill Big Blue, in which he succeeds. Brainiac also teams up with Lex Luthor in the film, but Superman is brought back to life by the Krytonian robot known as The Eradicator. The casting for the movie was said to have wanted: Ben Affleck as Clark Kent / Superman, Linda Fiorentino as Lois Lane, Jack Nicholson as Lex Luthor, Famke Janssen as Mercy, John Mahoney as Perry White, David Hyde Pierce as the Eradicator, Jason Lee as Brainiac and Jason Mewes as Jimmy Olsen.

The art comes from propstore.com who recently auctioned off a Superman Lives lot.

Advanced Review: Superman: American Alien #1 (of 7)

The last few years have been tough on the overall character of Superman. He has been lacking a true form of identity, shifting between a depowered “everyman,” an infected Doomsday clone, as well as the most recent, “god of power” incarnation — while the character of Clark Kent has been left by the wayside to fall into his own obscure oblivion until further called upon.

Well, look no further for a glimmer of hope to bring Clark Kent back to the forefront! Max Landis has crafted a tale of pure joy and wonderment in his Superman: American Alien book, and it will invigorate even the most skeptical of readers, I should know, I am one!

Going into this book, I was dreading what may yet defile DC’s “Golden Boy” even more than what he has endured in the recent past. But from page one, Landis encapsulated the sheer amazement that those tales all lacked and by page two, I wasn’t believing that a boy could fly, but I was damn sure rooting for him to! Landis has woven a tale that brings the heart and soul back to the Superman mythos, and no one should pass it by!

We follow a young Clark Kent that is both frightened of himself and by what may be done to him if anyone learns his secret. His journey is laced with nostalgia and overpowering in youthful invigoration. Readers will find themselves grinning emphatically over Clark’s exuberance and innocent wonder and will feel connected to the character more than they have in years. But this tale is not purely about young Clark, it is about the Kent’s as a family dealing with extraordinary things while trying to teach their adopted son how to act like a man regardless of what his DNA may say.

Landis couldn’t tell this story alone, and Nick Dragotta is the perfect artistic compliment to his tale of a prepubescent Clark. Dragotta’s bold, clean lines accentuate that youthful vigor ever present in the tale while creating crisp action sequences that will make your heart soar!

Max Landis has stated that each issue will revolve around completely different parts of Clark’s life with a different artist for each part as well. If each issue is as complete and thrilling as this first one, fans will not only clamor to get back into the Superman fold but they will bring as many readers with them as they can!

Batman Vs. Superman Merchandise References Joker & Robin Costume

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22859:]]

Following the earlier Batman promo image, additional Batman Vs. Superman merchandise images have hit the net featuring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

We also see what looks to be a Joker car with the packing reading: “Guthams Dark Protector.” Batman’s horns are circled (or it’s a halo), Gotham City Police Department is crossed out, and “HERO” is written over Batman, with the Bat symbol behind the vehicle.

We see the writing on the Joker packaging is similar to the Robin costume from the Batman Vs. Supreman trailer (pictured above), which seemingly confirms Joker’s involvement one way or another.

That’s exactly what takes place in the above song by Rod Stewart, who created the “Batman Superman Spiderman” as a bedtime lullaby for his 4-year-old son, with Toy Story’s Woody and Buzz even getting a mention.

David Goyer Defends Man Of Steel & Talks Christopher Nolan Batman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22675:]]

David Goyer recently appeared on a Nerdist podcast where he talked about creating the Christopher Nolan Batman movies, mentioned how studios want to emulate Disney and Star Wars, and he also defended Man of Steel.

Below you can check out the podcast and text (via indiewire):

Nolan Batman:

“We got lucky in that ‘Batman and Robin’ had not done well. And there had been a lot of who people who had attempted to do Batman films in the interim. Mark Protosevichhad written another one, and there was going to be an R-rated [Darren] Aronofsky one, and Boaz Yakin was going to do ‘Batman Beyond,’ and[Andrew] Kevin Walker did a ‘Batman [and] Superman, there were all these stillborn things that had not happened in the intervening period. So by time Chris and I came along they knew they had to do something radical. And they were kind of desperate. I just remember when I got the job, everyone was saying, both online and amongst my friends, ‘Oh, that’ll never get made.’ “

“We knew that we were coming in from a deficit. There was negative connotation with the character, so we had to get past that, much less it even being a good movie. We were aware that it had to be radically different, but that said, it wasn’t the guiding principle. I don’t think you can create something just as a reaction to something. The guiding principle was, ‘What if we play it straight?’ And then reverse engineer it down to everything, the utility belt, the Batmobile…the previous Batmobiles that had been in the [Tim] Burton films, that was not a practical car. You could barely turn a corner. So we just said, ‘What if it’s real?’ ”

Shared movie universes:

“I think [audiences] are savvy to do the idea that, ‘Oh, this isn’t a film, this is a piece of commerce now, in this ongoing franchise.’ If you go to the studios now, everyone wants story universes because they’ve seen what Marvel or what Lucasfilm has done. Not to say that what Marvel and Lucasfilm have done isn’t amazing, but all the other studios want to do the exact same thing. And so you’ve got, whether they’re successful or not, all these different studios saying, ‘How do we keep up with our own elite universe?’ Now it’s not just enough to say, ‘Oh, I hope this is a three movie franchise,’ it’s ‘Oh, I hope this is a nine movie…’ — it’s a ten year plan.”

“You’ve got all these projects — and I won’t name them — that are going out there that’s like, ‘This is going to be the first in a projected eight movie thing.’ And you’re like, ‘How about starting with just making a good movie?.’ There have been a lot of good sequels, and it’s really hard to do a third film. It’s incredibly hard to do it the third time out, especially if you’re not designing them to be one long story. In the Batman films, we weren’t. When we finished ‘The Dark Knight,’ we didn’t say, ‘We’ve set these seeds to do x, y and z.’ We had no idea what we were going to do. Chris always felt like, each movie has to have its own integrity, and if you have a great idea, use it, and don’t think about a sequel. And if you do that really well, it becomes harder to do a sequel. But at the same time, if you’re trying to do a presumptive trilogy, I think audiences are starting to catch on to this, and be a little weary of it.”

Man of Steel:

“The way I work, the way Chris works, is you do what’s right for the story. That exists entirely separately from what fans should or shouldn’t think of that character. You have to do what’s right for the story. In that instance, this was a Superman who had only been Superman for like, a week. He wasn’t Superman as we think of him in the DC Comics…or even in a world that conceived of Superman existing. He’d only flown for the first time a few days before that. He’d never fought anyone that had super powers before. And so he’s going up against a guy who’s not only super-powered, but has been training since birth to use those super powers, who exists as a superhuman killing machine, who has stated, ‘I will never stop until I destroy all of humanity.’ “

“If you take Superman out of it, what’s the right way to tell that story? I think the right way to tell that story is if you take this powered alien who says, ‘You can have your race back, but you have to kill your adopted race,’ the moral, horrible situation to be in is to actually be forced to kill, not wanting to, the only other person from your race. Take Superman aside, I think that’s the right way to tell that story.”

Watch: Anthony Mackie Doesn’t Like Man of Steel

“What was the last good DC movie you saw?” Mackie asks in the above video before he proceeds to argue against Man of Steel being a good movie.

Of course Anthony Mackie is a Marvel man and will be appearing in Captain America: Civil War, which follows Batman Vs. Superman.

Interestingly enough, Marvel announced Captain America vs. Iron Man following WB’s announcement of Batman Vs. Superman. The two movies even originally shared the same release date prior to WB moving up BvS to March.

There has been an ongoing battle between Marvel and DC, with the most previous coming from Zack Snyder with mention that Ant-Man was a flavor of the week movie.

Years ago also saw Robert Downey Jr. state f-ck DC Comics about Nolan’s The Dark Knight:

The Dark Knight. “My whole thing is that that I saw The Dark Knight. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ I loved The Prestige but didn’t understand The Dark Knight. Didn’t get it, still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it. This is so high brow and so fucking smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? Fuck DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from.”

The new Aquaman followed that up recently as a fan requested Jason Momoa write “F— Marvel” on a poster:
