Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con Trailer
 

Check out the latest cover to Empire Magazine featuring Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Update: Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill offer the following about Batman and Superman in the film:

“There is just this gravitas to Batman,” director/producer/franchise oversees Zack Snyder stresses in our cover feature. “He is operatic.” And Superman? ” In this movie, everyone has split into different directions as to how they feel about this alien,” explains Henry Cavill. “Some people love him, some hate him. Other people fear him. Is he a tyrant?” 

And  Snyder says about the Justice League slate of movies:

“I want all the other directors of the other films to be able to stretch their legs and do what they want, but at the same time there is a big interconnected universe.”

DC Comics Announces Justice League: Gods And Men

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21329:]]

During Friday’s One on One panel at COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: SAN DIEGO 2015, JUSTICE LEAGUE writer Geoff Johns revealed his plans for a series of one-shots spinning out of his current “Darkseid War” story arc.

Scheduled for October, JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MEN is a series of six single issues focusing on key characters in the Darkseid War and extends their individual conflicts against the backdrop of universal Armageddon, with Darkseid squaring off against the Anti-Monitor:    

Batman – Armed with the godlike power of the Mobius Chair, the Dark Knight has taken on the role of Metron and plans to use the infinite knowledge of this device to turn Gotham City into a completely crime-free zone!    

Superman – Corrupted by the weird energies of Apokolips’ fire pits, Superman has been turned into an angry, violent brute. And only one man can possibly save him: Lex Luthor.               

Green Lantern – Oa has been conquered and transformed into a Parademon factory and the Green Lantern Corps is no more! Only Hal Jordan remains to follow a distress call from the last active Lantern seen fighting on Oa: John Stewart               

Lex Luthor – At last, Lex Luthor, the new ruler of Apokolips, can do what he never could accomplish on Earth: hold the fate of a world in his hands. But his one failure from the “Darkseid War” continues to keep him from the peace he craves – and only a crazed Superman can help him get it!               

The Flash – The Flash takes on the role of death’s harbinger, the Black Racer. And the beneficiary of his first visit is Aquaman!

Shazam! – Instead of accessing the powers of the old gods, Billy Batson now commands the combined powers of the New Gods like Highfather, Mantis and others trapped within the Source Wall. And that’s power that no mortal should possess!

Zack Snyder & Henry Cavill Talk Man of Steel Sequel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21237:]]

While WB chose to go with Batman Vs. Superman as the next movie following Man of Steel, in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Zack Snyder talks about the potential villains they may have used if they went with a direct Superman sequel.

“I remember we were talking about, ‘What’s the next ­villain?’” Snyder offered. “We can’t do another alien invasion. Brainiac was definitely down the road. Metallo, I think, was going to be the main bad guy of this movie.”

Snyder even said he had an idea for an end-of-the-movie-scene for Man of Steel that involved Kryptonite and Wayne Manor that he told to both Christopher Nolan and David Goyer.

“I said, ‘What about at the end of the movie we do a scene where there’s a crate full of kryptonite delivered to Wayne Manor,’” Snyder said. “Everyone was like… ‘Okaay.’ Once you say it out loud it’s a problem because you can’t unsay it.”

Of course, Lex was on the table for the Man of Steel sequel as well, and Jesse Eisenberg is playing the character in Batman Vs. Superman.

“We did talk about Lex right away,” Snyder said. “I think Lex was always on the books.”

Regarding future Superman movies and Man of Steel sequels, Herny Cavill said he is pretty optimistic about the possibility.

“There’s plenty of time for individual Superman sequels,” Cavill said. “He’s a tough character to tell. People like the darker vigilante. I think it speaks to the human psyche more easily rather than the god-like being that we can’t really understand. Once we have a more expansive universe we can delve more into the character of Superman and hopefully tell more stories.”

With a planned documentary on the defunct 2009 George Miller Justice League movie in the works, concept art hit the net featuring Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman.

Artist Steve Skroce posted the following on his Facebook adding: 

I’m seeing a lot of art from the cancelled George Miller Justice League film so here’s a few boards that I did for the film. It was incredibly fun drawing the DC comics characters which I hadn’t had the opportunity to do until then. It’s Wonder Woman versus Superman ( they have their reasons, mind control!)

DJ Cotrona was going to play Superman, with Megan Gale as Wonder Woman.

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.
