Zack Snyder Talks About DC TV Universe & Batman Vs. Superman Justice League Prequel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22035:]]

Check out the “Hall of Justice” podcast below featuring director Zack Snyder talking about Batman Vs. Superman, Justice League and the DC TV Universe.

Highlights include Snyder talking about whether or not the DC TV universe effects the movies:

This is the bottom line for me. I have 100% respect and love for what they’re doing on TV. I think it’s amazing. The joy and the fun of them speaks to the iconic, graphic nature of these characters. These characters are bigger than any of the actors playing them. Long after I’m done making a Batman v Superman movie, there will be someone else who makes it. It’s almost like an American tradition now we’ve established that these characters will be played again and again, and they exist outside of us in this moment.

I think that’s sort of the thing I’ve embraced, and as opposed to trying to shoehorn all of these storylines into a single universe, we let the characters exist in multi-universe, and therefore it’s a lot more fun and a lot more value for the audience. They get to see their favourite and most beloved characters on different adventures at the same time in different universes and it really makes the meal a lot richer and a lot more fun. We get to go with these guys in all different directions and that’s really the joy of what we’re trying to do over here at DC.

Snyder also talks about the controversial reception of Man of Steel noting that “if you actually read Comics, you know I didn’t change Superman.” Snyder continues with talk of how he is a big comic book fan and wants to keep the characters in the movies similar to comic book canon. Snyder also says he considers Batman Vs. Superman a Justice League prequel; that they do go into Batman and Superman’s backstory, and that the other Justice League members are only touched upon in Batman V Superman while noting the Wonder Woman movie goes into her story.

Snyder also mentions he and Chrisopher Nolan talked about using a new Batman, as Superman wouldn’t fit into The Dark Knight Universe.

Superman Gets Another New Power In Action Comics #48

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24122:]]

Spoilers follow for this week’s Superman Action Comics #48.

 

Quick recap: Superman has been pretty powerless as of late because, among other things, Vandal Savage stole his power. So the Man of Steel comes up with the idea to use Kryptonite to burn away his top layer of skin cells that are preventing him from soaking up the yellow sun energy. Well, things don’t go exactly as planned and Superman is left with a new power.

Instead of his skin cells dieing off, they absorbed the kryptonite, which now gives him the ability to “feel transmissions… energy waves… from all over the world… including signals…”

Check out the pages below.

It’s being speculated Superman may be soon returning to his “normal self” with the upcoming DC relaunch, “Rebirth.”

Action Comics #50 also marks Greg Pak’s last issue.

Tom Welling Again Talks Supergirl (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24120:]]

About a week ago saw Tom Welling discuss the possibility of appearing in the new Supergirl series, and now Welling is asked again by Access Hollywood, with this time seeming a bit more open to it.

“Yeah! I’ve gotten a lot of questions about that, and the funny thing is, I’ve never been asked,” Welling said. “They’ve never asked me. So, we’ll see. It’s a great show; I’ve seen it.”

Welling also added he would like to “get a little notice” before slipping into the tights.

It’s been thrown out there that Welling could possibly play Superman in Supergirl as  the Man of Steel is presently featured as a blur in the series – Welling was known in Smallville was as The Blur.

Welling previously offered about appearing in Supergirl:

“There’s people who would like it. There’s people who don’t like it. But I will tell you that no one has ever asked me to do it. So, I don’t know. It would be kind of odd. I don’t know who he is at that point. He would obviously be Superman…”

If fans do indeed want to see Tom Welling on Supergirl, get on Twitter and tweet at Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg.

Henry Cavill Talks Batman Vs. Superman From Empire Magazine

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24049:]]

Check out the images (click any image for super high-res) and quotes from Henry Cavill’s interview in Empire Magazine for Batman Vs. Superman.

Henry Cavill On Superman:

“We see the reaction of Lex Luthor, and the reaction of Batman. And the reaction of Baman to this god-like being.”

“People have begun to fear him. Is he too powerful? Is he, in fact, a tyrant?”

“He’s more used to this gig, doing his best to save as many lives as he can. He is no longer frantic. He’s no longer a wet-behind-the-ears kind of superhero.”

Zack Snyder and Ben Affleck:

Snyder: “Can we really assume Superman will never turn on us?”

Affleck: “Sо it’s аbоut twо hеrоеs whо cаn bе sееn аs hеrоic аnd villаinоus, аnd whеn yоu lооk аt thе dоublе-еdgеd swоrd оf thаt, diffеrеnt pеоplе will cоmе аwаy lооking аt it vеry diffеrеntly.”

Affleck: “Rаthеr thаn just Аliеn Vs. Prеdаtоr, whеrе yоu hаvе twо mоnstеrs аnd thеy’rе gоnnа fight, yоu hаvе twо pеоplе whо rеаlly truly bеliеvе thеy аrе dоing sоmеthing hеrоic аnd nеcеssаry in thеir cоnflict.”

Affleck: “Batman has seen the devastation that comes from aliens battling on Earth. He thinks Superman is attracting flies to our planet. He is basically a beacon.”

Henry Cavill on Clark Kent:

“He is the human side of the character, but there is often this idea that Clark and Superman must be so different.  He’s being himself, only he’s presenting a different front while he’s in these different outfits. He can only get away with wearing glasses so much. If he’s drawing attention to himself by being clumsy, that’s not going to work. We don’t want to be jokers.”

Henry Cavill on Lois Lane:

“It’s not a normal relationship. How could it be? One of them is an alien.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24050:]]

Henry Cavill On Batman:

“He doesn’t agree with his form of justice. For this farm boy who tries to do things the right way, justice at any cost is not something he can come to terms with.”

Cavill notes that instead of Superman bullying Batman by simply defeating him, he uses Clark Kent to “..show the world what this Batman dude is doing.”

“It’s the human outlook on Superman and that is why such a major thing happens. It’s not about one on one. Of course Superman is going to win, but it’s deeper than that. It’s more that these two great powers exist and are actually trying to achieve the same thing, but in such different ways.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24051:]]

Miscellaneous:

Cavill: “I don’t do push-ups. (prefers three hours a day on the on-site gym). Zack does a lot of push-ups on set, though. He started a push-up cult.”

Cavill: “It’s not as if I am going to be able to play a POW and then Superman again. (Cavill put on 30 lbs). My commitment lies with this first.”

Cavill: “He’s always in there. It sits there simmering at ten percent all the time and then when it comes to acting, you just crank it up to 100 percent.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24052:]]

Henry Cavill on the Dawn of Justice League:

“There are hero moments where it looks like a hero moment. It doesn’t look like a bum saving a bunch of people then disappearing into the shadows. We’re introducing a potential long-term villain (Lex Luthor), we’re introducing Batman, and we’re introducing Wonder Woman. This is the Dawn of Justice.”

“It’s a bunch of people who are all used to getting their own way, so we’ll see how they interact. And the guy who can kick anyone’s ass is the nice one.”

Tom Welling Talks Possibly Reprising As Superman For “Supergirl”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24022:]]

We already know that Superman is a part of the CBS Supergirl universe as footage has featured the Man of Steel, albeit in more of a blurry form.

Speaking of The Blur, the actor who played Clark Kent and Superman on Smallville for ten seasons, Tom Welling, comments on potentially reprising the character for the new Supergirl series.

“There’s people who would like it. There’s people who don’t like it,” Welling told Buzz Feed. “But I will tell you that no one has ever asked me to do it. So, I don’t know. It would be kind of odd. I don’t know who he is at that point. He would obviously be Superman…”

As seen in the final episode of Smallville, Welling would don the familar red and blue cape and costume and fly off as Superman. Perhaps Welling, now 38 years old, if not as Superman, could guest star as a different character. The Supergirl show already featured former Lois and Clark Superman, Dean Cain, as well as former Supergirl, Helen Slater, from the 1984 film.

Check out a scene featuring Superman saving Supergirl below as well as a Tom Welling Superman tribute video.

Suicide Squad’s Viola Davis Picks Batman in “Dawn of Justice”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24019:]]

A few days ago saw Zack Snyder ask fans to choose their side for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Now Suicide Squad‘s Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) weighs in on the debate and chooses Batman.

“You’re asking a girl. A girls love Batman. They love Batman,” Davis offered to Empire Magazine. “You ask any woman, ‘Batman or Superman?’ It’s always going to be Batman. It’s the mask. It’s the muscles. It’s the car. Come on, it’s the Batmobile. The Batcave! Batman, man. Batman is hot. Superman needs a car. And the tights don’t work for me.”

It probably should be noted Batman does appear in Suicide Squad (probably doesn’t make a difference, though).

Empire also caught up with Jake Gyllenhaal (up to play Batman at one time), Matt Damon and Amy Schumer. See their picks below.

“Batman Vs. Superman” has a March 25, 2016 release; “Suicide Squad” hits August 5th.

DC Comics Rumored To Relaunch Again

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23960:]]

Update: DC Comics and Jim Lee have released a “Rebirth” teaser image, which can be found below.

Update #2: Scott Snyder rumored off Batman, moving to Detective Comics.

Update #3: Titans rumored to drop “Teen.”

 

It’s being said that DC Comics is going to relaunch their line of comic books yet again.

Following the New 52 relaunch back in 2011, now Bleeding Cool is stating DC will relaunch this June with a batch of all-new #1 issues.

It’s said to expect the popular titles to dominate the line even more (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad-related titles).

It’s also said that any of the titles that tie into the movies and TV shows “will be okay” (Flash, Arrow, etc).

It also seems insinuated something may be up in regards to Green Lantern, as it is noted nothing has been “heard about Green Lantern…” 

Sales on DC Comics have been pretty poor as of late, with it partially being blamed on the move to the West Coast. In addition, the latest DC initiatives and events (DCYOU and Convergence) have failed to be a hit with readers and retailers alike.

Update: Jim Lee shared the following:

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.

“It came about when we were having a brainstorming meeting,” Debra Dorfman, v-p and publisher at Scholastic, said, reports Publishers Weekly. “We thought, we should do a biography series of fictional characters. How fun would that be?”

The first three titles of the line focuse on Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, and will be published in March, right in time for the release of the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

“We’re using writers that are already immersed in these worlds, and we’re getting to dive into the archives of these characters,” Dorfman said.

It’s also noted more DC titles are in the works including Harley Quinn and Super Girl. Plans are also underway to produce Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars Princess Leia and Darth Vader.

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.
