George Miller Confirms DC Talks; No Man Of Steel 2 (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22289:]]

A little over a month ago saw a rumor hit that George Miller was set to direct the sequel to Man of Steel. It was then said that Man of Steel 2 was put on permantent hold, but that Miller could direct whatever interested him. Zack Snyder even said the door was open for Miller.

Now word comes directly from the director of Mad Max: Fury Road that he isn’t directing Man of Steel 2, but George Miller does confirm talks with DC.

“There has been some of that in the mix, but I would say, probably not true,” Miller responded to DC and Man of Steel 2 questioning while talking with Digital Insider.

“I was going to do a Justice League movie that fell through in 2009,” Miller continued. “Not a fault of anybody’s fault except a new Australian govenment wasn’t agile enough with their rebates. It went indecisive. There was a writers strike. The planets didn’t align for that one, but I’ve always been interested in mythology, and the superhero movies are basically new incarnations of the greek and roman mythologies. That’s always something I’m interested in.”

Miller did note he is a DC fan as well. 

“I group in an era that was mainly DC, and so they are the pantheon for me,” Miller said. “I’ve seen some of them. I obviously haven’t seen Batman Vs. Superman. I love [Zack Snyder’s] work.”

Miller also noted the next film he directs he hopes will be small.

“I hope the next film I make is a very small film without any special effects and not many stunts.”

Batman Vs. Superman is Man of Steel 2 Says Zack Snyder; Talks Justice League


Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con Trailer
 

With rumors of George Miller directing a Man of Steel sequel, the question of a second Superman standalone movie is brought up to director Zack Snyder, who seems to insinuate it’s not their top priority as he makes mention Batman Vs. Superman is essentially Man of Steel 2.

Snyder, talking with Canoe.com about the Doritos contest, offered the following about Man of Steel 2 and Justice League:

I think in a way Batman v Superman is Man of Steel 2. Justice League is kind of the transcendent, knights-of-the-round-table of the story. It’d be interesting to think about what a standalone Superman movie might be.”

Regarding Justice League, Snyder also offers his thoughts about going from Dawn of the Dead back in 2004 to now doing DC movies:

“At that point I was really into (Frank Miller’s comic) The Dark Knight Returns. I don’t know that I thought about it in those terms, but if you told me that I might make a Justice League movie, I wouldn’t think that that was weird. But I don’t think I would realize what it meant to pop culture the way it has struck pop culture right now.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22192:]]

“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.

Zack Snyder Says Door Is Open For George Miller Doing A DC Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22047:]]

Recent rumors have suggested either that George Miller is directing Man of Steel 2 or that he is at least in line for a DC movie property.

Now while promoting the Doritos Super Bowl contest in another interview, Zack Snyder tackles the rumor stating he hasn’t talked about it with Miller.

“George doing one of the DC movies? Oh my God, absolutely. George can do anything he wants, in my opinion,” Snyder told The Herald Sun. “We haven’t talked about it, and to be frank I just didn’t know what he was thinking of doing next. But yeah, if I was to think he had any interest in them of course I’m happy to talk to him.”

Snyder continues with mention that Miller would be welcome to come on board.

“Oh my God, [the door is] so open,” Snyder said.

Previously, Snyder took a couple of jabs at Marvel and Ant-Man, and now offers more.

“It’s an interesting question. I haven’t seen Ant-Man. I just haven’t had time. I’ve been so stacked, I’ve been in post, but I do want to, I have an interest in seeing it. But to me it’s like, there’s undeniable and amazing talent and entertainment in the movies they make, and Joss [Whedon] is really good. The question is whether or not — or how — the superhero genre evolves, or does it stay the same? Steven Spielberg made that comment about [superhero movies] going the way of the westerns, and my reaction is: then you’ve got to make a better movie. That’s the reality. I know that doesn’t really answer the question, but the feeling is that we can’t stay the same, that’s one thing for sure.”

Watch: Tom Hardy Wants To Return As Bane & Drown Batman & Superman

Tom Hardy who played Bane for Christopher Nolan in The Dark Knight Rises and was up to play Rick Flag in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad is asked by MTV if he would like to return to the DC Universe.

Check out the above video for Hardy’s response, but he does state he would like to return to the DC Universe as Bane, and he also says he would like to hold Batman and Superman’s head under the water.

Regarding Tom Hardy’s future with the DC Universe, he is involved with the 100 Bullets Vertigo adaptation, but more than likely that will be set outside DC’s superhero universe.

Any ideas what roles could be good for Hardy? While not DC, after watching Hardy in Warrior, I kind of pictured him maybe as Wolverine.

DC Comics In Trouble? Down 2 Million Dollars? Superman Back To Normal?

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21847:]]

I’ve long expected this since about four or five months into the New 52.

Bleeding Cool is reporting that DC Comics is down over 2 million dollars for their financial year beginninng in 2015.

Reasons cited include the cost from moving the offices from New York to Burbank were higher than expected as well as the poor performance from the less than stellar Convergence event series and tie-ins, in addition to the post-Convergence relaunch doing all that not great.

DC also offered their comics to be returnable, which has only added to the problem, as obviously the issues are not selling and retailers are returning them, which is a loss for DC.

According to the report, “a lot” is riding on Frank Miller’s Dark Knight III: The Master Race upcoming graphic novel.

It’s also said that DC senior executives have ordered the DC editors to go back to the “meat and potatoes.”

Bruce Wayne will be returning as Batman (it’s noted that was always the plan), but it’s also said Superman may be returning to normal (whatever that is) as look for Superman to “ditch the shirt and jeans a lot quicker than planned and to get back into the suit pronto.” It’s further said, regarding Superman, that DC has to downplay the recent identity revelations themes and not write the stories specifically about the change in identity status as they are now.

It’s argued that every book isn’t going to be a “surprise hit” the way Batgirl or Harley Quinn have turned out, or even Marvel’s Hawkeye. Trying to get every DC book that way isn’t working out, so it seems it’s back to basics. 

Regarding my statements above about the New 52, the first few issues of just about all the series were actually quite good; however, it seemed (at least from my reading) as if the writers were given less freedom, with the stories subsequently suffering (blame who you wish).

My two cents (which admittedly might be all its worth), would be to follow what Marvel is pretty much doing: Whenever an issue starts falling below a certain number (popular titles around 50k; less popular around 30K), they relaunch – and they relaunch with multiple covers. As much as I hate the gimmicks and such, the variant coves for Marvel work and comic readers are eating them up. If I was DC, I probably would have ten or so variant covers for Snyder’s Batman and the same for Johns’ Justice League. Whenever a title drops around 20-30k, I would relaunch with another #1 (i.e vol. 2) with multiple covers and go that route.

I would also stick Johns on every DC event, and tie them into the popular characters’ comics (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash). I would also relaunch Superman with only one title and stick Chris Roberson on it. I would nix all the Green Lantern rainbow brite stuff and go with only two books, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps (both series were awesome prior to New 52), with Abnett and Brad Walker on one title, and Marz and Lanning on another (Giffen would be in the cosmic mix somewhere, and Starlin). 

Lastly, I would nix the notion of the DC movies influencing the DC comics as the comics are the inspiration for the movies and not the other way around (ditto at Marvel).

Man Of Steel 2 Said To Be On Permanent Hold

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21845:]]

A recent rumor stated that George Miller will be directing Man of Steel 2.

Jon Schnepp, who recently released the The Death of ‘Superman Lives’: What Happened? documentary, dropped the news.

Now, however, the info is being contradicted as Den Of Geek is stating a source has filed them in that while it’s true George Miller is in talks with WB for a DC movie, it might not be for the Man of Steel sequel as Man of Steel 2 is on “permanent hold.” It’s said what Miller directs depends on what interests him.

Den Of Geek recently reported on the three picture Batman deal with Ben Affleck as well as the early Batman Vs. Superman screening for Warner Bros. executives.

Regarding Man of Steel 2 being on hold, there may be some validity to it as I was told a while back, WB wanted Man of Steel to hit a billion dollars at the box office and were disappointed with its $668 million gross. When it didn’t do as well as they wanted, they chose to go with Batman Vs. Superman instead of another Superman movie.

There is evidence of this as following the debut of Man of Steel, there was talk of a sequel being green lit, and in lots of interviews, Zack Snyder, David Goyer and Henry Cavill were all pushing for more Superman prior to Justice League, as well as stating Superman was their first costumed super hero and go-to guy.

Obviously things changed with the addition of Ben Affleck and Batman to the scene. From what I’ve been told, Goyer wrote a Man of Steel sequel script/treatment that was more or less combined with a standalone Batman script, which ended up becoming Batman Vs. Superman. When Affleck was brought on board, his Argo writer came with him, Chris Terrio, and did further rewrites.

Around the same time also saw Jeff Robinov forced out of WB, with Kevin Tsujihara taking over as WB CEO.

I actually recapped a lot of this in an article about the Batman Vs. Superman rumors from almost two years ago.

Regarding another Superman movie, when the Justice League slate of DC movies was announced, there was also mention of doing further Superman movies. More than likely if Batman vs. Superman is a smashing success (i.e. billion dollars), there will probably be another standalone Superman flick down the road.

George Miller Said To Be Directing Man Of Steel 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21810:]]

It’s being stated that George Miller will be directing Man of Steel 2.

The info comes from Jon Schnepp, who recently released the The Death of ‘Superman Lives’: What Happened? documentary.

Schnepp appeared on the Popcorn Talk YouTube podcast where he dropped the news.

“Yeah, George Miller,” Schnepp responded matter-of-factly when questioned about who is directing the Man of Steel sequel. “He’s doing Man of Steel 2. I don’t feel weird about breaking it, so… Yeah. Obviously, Zack Snyder is doing Justice League [Part] 1 and 2. We already got James Wan doing Aquaman… But, yeah, I think George Miller is the perfect choice to do Man of Steel 2. He’s going to bring so much to it.”

As fans know, George Miller was attached to the defunct 2008 Justice League movie that was to feature Armie Hammer as Batman, DJ Cotrona as Superman, Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, Adam Brody as The Flash, Teresa Palmer as Talia al Ghul, Jay Baruchel as Maxwell Lord, Hugh Keays-Byrne as Martian Manhunter and Megan Gale as Wonder Woman.

While Man of Steel 2 isn’t offically a part of the WB slate of announced DC movies, it was reported that standalone Batman and Superman movies would be forthcoming.

Check Out Kryptonian Script On New Superman Costume

Earlier saw Batman Vs. Superman costume designer Michael Wilkinson make mention that Zack Snyder added Kryptonian script (writing) to the Man of Steel costume, and now we get an up-close look at the new Superman costume.

A user on Reddit uploaded the images to Imgur where the Kryptonian writing can be found on Superman’s chest shield, arms (just above the biceps), wrists, waste and belt.

“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.

Michael Wilkinson Talks New Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman & Aquaman Costumes

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21772:]]

Oscar-nominated costume designer Michael Wilkinson, noted for American Hustle, Tron and Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, Sucker Punch, 300 and Man of Steel, returns for Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League.

People’s Choice caught up with Wilkinson who is in Las Vegas for the MAGIC Panel at the Las Vegas Convention Center where the following was offered about the new Batman Vs. Superman costumes:

Updated Superman Costume:

We tweaked the Superman suit only slightly from our suit from Man of Steel. We streamlined plus sharpened the details of the costume a little to suit the more earthly (less alien) context of this film. 

Zack had a great idea to have some kryptonian script [writing] subliminally included in the details of the suit, so we made that happen (update: you can check out details images of the scripts in Superman’s costume here). 

Ben Affleck’s Batman Costume:

The batsuit is a complete 180 degree turn from the previous film incarnations — our Batman’s power comes from his incredible physical strength and fighting skills, not from armor. The director Zack Snyder wanted him to look as much like the comic book version as possible — to be respectful to the original source.

My favorite details of the batsuit are the brass knuckles on the gloves. 

Gal Gadot Wonder Woman Costume:

As for the Wonder Woman suit, well she has never been seen in a film before, so there was nothing to compare it to! There is of course the costume from the TV show. Zack wanted our character to be a fierce and intimidating warrior — gritty, battle-scarred and immortal.

There is ancient Greek script [writing] on Wonder Woman’s weapons too.

Jason Momoa Aquaman Costume: (note: Wilkinson looks to have confirmed Momoa will be seen in the Aquaman costume in Batman Vs. Superman):

It was pretty hard to get Jason to get out of his Aquaman costume. It really became part of him.

Here are pics of the new costumes (click to enlarge):

Other people fear him. Is he a tyrant?”

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!

Watch: First Ten Minutes Of Superman Lives Documentary & Final Nicolas Cage Costume Surfaces

An image of the final look of Nicholas Cage in his Superman Lives costumes has surfaced online, and ten minutes of the new documentary has been released exploring the film with The Death of ‘Superman Lives’: What Happened? which is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD and can be found at booth #3915 at Comic-Con. 

Info:

The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened? is a Feature Length Documentary about the unmade movie “Superman Lives”. This film, out of all the various attempts to make a Superman movie between 1987 and 2006, would have stood the test of time and become a bonafide Cult Classic nowadays. I am not alone with my intense interest in knowing everything I can about this project, and so now I’m embarking on making a Documentary that will cover everything ever made for this film, from interviewing as many people as I can who were involved, to including actually recreating scenes from the script!!!
