After Warner Bros announced that Ben Affleck will play Batman in "Batman vs Superman," the sequel to "Man of Steel 2," everyone immediately commented on the casting news, including Matt Damon, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney.
Now that Affleck is promoting "Runner Runner," he appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and spoke about playing the popular superhero. "It's so awesome, I'm so excited," he said. "They called me up and said 'do you want to do this', and I'm like, 'I'm not a 25 man are you sure?' So they said to come down and we'll show you what we're doing, and it was incredible."
Affleck continued: "Zack [Snyder] has this incredible take on it.. obviously we can't do what Christian [Bale] did, those movies are amazing, so he wants to do something different but still in keeping with that. So I thought... this is a brilliant way to do this, and I really know how to hook into this."

you know I had a chance to think about this for a while ... going to give him a chance because his is a life long batman fan and I think he going to do his best to stay true to the part.
problem I have is the movie itself ... have a bad feeling it might not be good... because you have both characters of great stature ... are they going to share screen time ... who the focus of the movie ... it a Superman follow up , but there borrowing from a Batman story.
Who are the villains? that is my concerns about this movie
I heard Bryan Cranston...
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1RuxzOl_A6w/UiNY1bdKtgI/AAAAAAAA6EA/Bj2vcKTdaJc/s1600/cranston-luthor.jpg)
...is the front runner for Luthor.
Now that I am down with
he has the chops to add depth to Lex Luthor
The thing is, we are ALL going to give Affleck a chance because he IS cast and that is the end of the discussion... I am more so REALLY worried about who they want to play Robin :-\
robin should not be in the movie ... if he is ... it a cameo at best .
maybe Batman and Superman talking in the batcave ... robin rolls up and stop and looks at Supes ... as superman files off ... that should be the robin scene
...Matt Damon?
I'm more interested in seeing what they do with Luthor in this movie than Batman all things considered.
Larry David in Talks to Play Villainous Mr. Mxyzptlk in "Batman vs Superman"?
(http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/headlines/headline27919.jpg)
Radar Online has learned that Larry David is in talks to join the upcoming "Batman vs Superman" film and that Batman actor Ben Affleck is strongly encouraging him to accept the offer.
According to the site, David would play Mr. Mxyzptlk, a prankster who is not limited by physical laws and uses that ability to torment Superman as well as Metropolis.
This wouldn't be the first time that the actor has been pursued by a studio for a big budget superhero film. At one point, Sam Raimi wanted David for his "Spider-Man" sequel. But since David is close friends with Affleck, this may be an opportunity he won't pass by.

Mr. Mxyzpltk is a cool character, but he is nowhere near well known enough to be a villain in a blockbuster. The only way it works is if Lex Luther somehow brought him to Metropolis to mess with Superman, it backfires on him, Superman stops him in say the first 30 -45 minutes and becomes an even bigger hero to the people. Then, that gives Luthor reason to try and destroy him, and you can add in Batman trying to help Superman find out where the hell Mr. Mxyzpltk came from, who the hell brought him to Metropolis, and then helping out because Luthor has the kryptonite. they finish him off, and the final scene is Batman taking a piece of the kryptonite and starting his file on Superman.
This sounds like they're trying to fit WAY too much into one movie. Kinda like Spider-Man 3 all over again...
Henry Cavill Wants Cyborg In His Man Of Steel Universe
Man of Steel - HD 'Henry Cavill on DC Universe References' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9InUf2IMBFs#ws)
Man of Steel star Henry Cavill continues to dish out interesting asides as part of the DVD extras that fans are coming through. Sites picked up and ran with his opinions on Ben Affleck as Batman (spoiler alert – he thinks Affleck will be great). And in this revealing interview shared on Warner's UK YouTube page, the new Superman hints at other DC Universe heroes who might be pulled in to an eventual Justice League movie thanks, in part, to Easter eggs buried in Zack Snyder's film.
We already knew about the obvious nods to Wayne Enterprises and LexCorp, with Batman's corporate trademark resting on the side of a satellite. But eagle-eye Man of Steel viewers probably picked up on the inclusion of S.T.A.R. Labs, referenced by Dr. Emil Hamilton (Richard Schiff). And if you are up to date on your DC knowledge, you know that it means Cyborg is a very strong possibility. In the above clip, Cavill even says that Cyborg could be "an incredible bridge between both superhumans and humanity in a different way than Batman. So I don't know where he's going to come in, or if he's going to come in, but that's one I'm particularly excited about."
If Cavill's mentioning Cyborg in official interviews, you can bet the character is being bandied about in DC executive meetings. So, who is he? The character has been around since 1980, created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez as a member of the Teen Titans. During the 2011 reboot of DC's universe, though, Cyborg received a "promotion" of sorts. He was established as a founding member of the Justice League, and now plays a more prominent role in DC's timeline. (He's also a kick-ass character in the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us).
This video nails his origins, and where Cyborg fits into the reboot:
Cyborg-Welcome to the Big Leagues (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs8HqCZNSNw#ws)
What's interesting is that, when fans talk about a Justice League movie, they mention the need to factor in Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash... classic JLA heroes who were important pieces of our childhood. Cyborg rarely is mentioned, though he should be in the mix, as he's important to a new generation of DC readers. And if Cavill is tipping his hand to future developments, Lex Luthor and Cyborg could be parts (large and small) of the as-yet-untitled Batman-Superman movie. Good idea?

Is DC Moving Too Fast By Introducing Wonder Woman In Batman Vs. Superman?
(http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/40566/Batman_vs_Superman_40566.jpg)
At San Diego Comic-Con this past summer, Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. – with a little help from actor Harry Lennix – announced news that long-time comic book fans have been waiting their whole lives to hear. It was revealed that the upcoming Man of Steel sequel would have Batman and Superman in a live-action feature film together for the very first time. Geeks worldwide began buzzing about possibilities, wondering and imagining how the classic superhero characters would either face off or team up against a mutual threat. "World's Finest" comics came down off the shelf and we were all reminded of the great showdown at the end of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns."
But now we know that the 2015 blockbuster won't just be about the Caped Crusader and the Man of Tomorrow.
Earlier today it was officially confirmed by both Snyder and Warner Bros. that Fast & Furious actress Gal Gadot has joined the cast of the Man of Steel sequel and will be playing Princess Diana of Themyscira, best known to audiences as Wonder Woman. It's been suggested that she will be one of the female leads in the movie – which already has Amy Adams coming back as Lois Lane – and if that's true she could wind up having a huge impact on the film's plot. But if that does turn out to be the case, what would make the colloquially-named Batman vs. Superman any different from a Justice League movie?
Regardless of whether it's a lead role or just a bit part, the introduction of Wonder Woman into the DC Cinematic Universe is going to require a good amount of detail and explanation. In addition to setting up Gotham City as a location in the world outside of Metropolis (not to mention Batman's supporting characters), the film would likely also have to dive into the history of Themyscira and the culture of the Amazons in order to provide background and explain why Wonder Woman can do what she does. Adding all of this information would require the movie to have a huge increase in scale just so that the character doesn't seem overshadowed or underused. It's hard to see how that wouldn't have a major impact on the launch of the new Batman, and if the movie is just about introducing new heroes it could end up partially undercutting the specialness of any future Justice League project.
What makes the developing production even more curious is that it doesn't look like Wonder Woman will be the last superhero added to the film's roster. Toward the end of their article reporting Gadot's casting, Variety says that The Flash is a lock to "make an appearance in some fashion, whether that's a significant role or a cameo." If it's a big role it will only draw more attention away from Batman and Superman, but – possibly more importantly – if it is just a cameo I don't want to hear about it until I get to see the film for myself.
Obviously there's nothing wrong with having multiple superheroes in the same movie –the issue is more about building up to something. Marvel Studios released five solo films on the path towards making The Avengers, making sure that all of the major characters got proper introductions so that it actually meant something when they all came together. These new developments with the Man of Steel sequel suggest that the filmmakers and the studio aren't comfortable with the one-hero-at-a-time route and want something that closely resembles a Justice League film sooner rather than later. The risk that is run with this is just piling too much into one feature, and as Iron Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 showed us, the results can be less than desirable.
It's not exactly hard to see the endgame that's in mind from all of these developments. DC Comics and Warner Bros. wants to create a cinematic universe that can compete with what has been constructed over at Marvel Studios, and that ultimately will lead to the creation of a Justice League movie. But are they moving too fast by potentially introducing as many as three new superheroes in the first sequel to Man of Steel?
First they introduced a brand new Batman to this world. Now they want to just throw Wonder Woman and Flash in there, cold? This is falling apart faster and faster.
This call the movie Trinity
be done with it
Question for those more familiar with the Justice League than myself...
Were all DC villains involved in the comics? For example, would it make sense, in the world of the Justice League, to see The Joker? I'm not familiar with what was/wasn't used, so figured at least one of you would know more about it.
I wonder when the DC Multiverse will be added to this. Pretty soon at this rate.
I don't understand the question.
You mean like this...
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1a/JLA_13_Covers.jpg)
What I meant was do they use everything DC. I could be wrong, but as far as I am aware, The Avengers, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, etc. in Marvel pretty much stayed separate, at least in the old days. Iron Man and Hulk weren't going after Magneto or Dr. Doom. So what I was wondering is if DC did the same and kept things separate, or did they cross over more often, like having the Justice League take on The Joker and Lex Luthor.
It all depends, I guess. Superheroes and Villains team up all the time. lol
It's something I've always wondered when Iron Man was involved. Whomever he is up against should just call Magneto and render IM useless.
You should probably go to the comic book boards to discuss this since this thread is about the Batman VS Superman movie. lol But yeah... Villains are villains... so they don't get along to well. Who trusts The Joker?! lol

get a chance check out "Worlds Finest " , but your answer is yes ... the Major Villains have work with each other in the pages of the Justice League. They normally don't last long, because it in there nature not trust each other. Double crosses happen or someone screws something up because their pushing there own agenda... things like that.
I remember a storyline where the joker literary let the heroes get the advantage over the villains. Because he thought plan was bullshit and just walked away ... not before fucking it up only in the way the joker can lol
Back to movie talk ... DC is going to mess it up , because there going into overload... Thought marvel put up the blue print . They introduce characters in there own movies and connected them. After that they brought them together and went from there. It worked ... DC play attention , it worked. You can do the same.
You don't need to do everything at once... Hell , give Wonder Woman her own movie ... I have the prefect story that you can tie the Lynda Carter TV series into the movie and re-introduce her to the new world. Diana from the TV show got back to the island ... he takes over as queen and than something else happen in the man world that ask for another person to be sent. She has her own daughter now and she is sent to stop it... the god of war wants to bring a world war about so he can gain strength again. Blam ... she stops it and stays to help out man's world , now she has to get use to this world ... it simply and we get her introduce
We all assume. Til we see it, we don't know it'll be crap.
Screw Snyder though. He sucks
Marvel has the PERFECT set up for their movies. They set things up over multiple movies and then go all out ala Avengers with all the stories coinciding together. DC should use that model instead of not setting everything up beforehand.
reason were upset is because we want this to succeed ... you get the feeling there trying to hard and moving to fast.
The movie ain't out yet. It might turn out perfectly. It might be better than avengers. Fuck zack snyder
No chance of Shaq reprising his role as Steel? :-<
No chance of this being a good film?
Man of Steel Sequel Carrying Reported Budget Of $131 Million?
(http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/40934/Batman_vs_Superman_40934.jpg)
Movie accounting is always more than a little mercurial. If you ask some guys at Warner Bros., they still haven't made any profit off the merchandising behemoth that was 1989's Batman. Never mind today, in a world where international box office is relied upon but obscured by more complex gross share rules, and where the DVD market blossomed, then capsized immediately. It's a very complex thing you're saying when you declare a movie a bomb or a hit. Or even when you say it's expensive.
So it makes perfect sense that a Detroit CBS affiliate would get their wires crossed in discussing a budget for the WB's upcoming Man of Steel sequel, which does not yet have a title but is sure to be something unnecessarily complicated. The claim is that this film, which unites Batman and Superman, and possibly a slew of other DC characters, is budgeted at $131 million. Which, for those of you keeping score, is nearly $100 million less than the reported cost of Man of Steel, allegedly a $225 million movie. The report also claims it's the most expensive film ever made in Michigan, besting the costs of Oz The Great And Powerful. Which, reportedly, cost $215 million. Perhaps there's an extra digit missing somewhere.
Maybe that dollar figure is the initial cost of some of the location shooting, and only some of the effects work, supposedly being done at Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac but also likely elsewhere given the size of such a project. Maybe it's isolating the separate paychecks of all the actors, like Ben Affleck's $10-$15 million payday and Henry Cavill's $12.50 plus bus fare stipend. Maybe there's a second wave of filming set for an undisclosed location, and the WB is keeping it under wraps from any reporter that might inquire. Or maybe they just got it wrong. Journalism is a fickle beast.
Whatever the case, this is sure to be one of the most expensive films of all-time. How could it not be? It reached that status as soon as Batman entered the picture, given that he's the only superhero in the game coming off back-to-back billion dollar hits (not counting Iron Man, who needed The Avengers to pull that off). You've also got Gal Gadot joining the gang as Wonder Woman, with a host of other superpowered characters jumping into the fray. There's also the matter of all that collateral damage in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. It's likely all parties involved think that orgy of death and mayhem needs to be "topped." Poor Michigan. You're not gonna make it out of this alive.
The nice takeaway is that the production is expected to bring several jobs to the state, beefing up their economy, with the claim that $5 million alone will go straight to the hotel industry. This movie may be a big budget behemoth, but if one of these superheroes doesn't get a hotel mint on their pillow, there might be some skyscrapers coming down. Superman And The Super-Friends remains on-schedule for a July 17, 2015 release date.
Film pushed to May 2016

Star Wars pushed back from the summer of 2015 as well. I think some studios are afraid to go up against The Avengers...
Or more likely, they're smartly giving an expensive and complicated film enough time to actually be good.

Batman Vs. Superman's Production Is Still On Schedule Despite Release Date Shift
(http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/41306/Batman_vs_Superman_41306.jpg)
Don't change that Bat-channel too quickly! The industry has been scattered since news broke that the Man of Steel sequel was being pushed from its 2015 release date to May 2016. Everyone figures with a shift like this, everyone simply moves to the right, and we start talking about Wonder Woman movies, Ben Affleck's other jobs, and an inevitable Justice League film. Instead of everything shifting, however, could it be that Warner Bros. plan is to just build on the production plans they already had set?
Buried within a Deadline report about Ben Affleck's possible commitment to direct the Fox pilot The Middle Man is the news that Affleck will not be free to shoot the show due to plans that involve a certain black cape and cowl. Despite the release date change, the report says that production on Batman vs. Superman is imminent and Deadline claims that "the main players have been summoned to start work right away." This scuttles plans for Affleck to helm his first ever series pilot, a step several major directors have been taking recently (just last night, Fox debuted Rake with Sam Raimi behind the camera). On the TV side of the story, the network remains undecided about either pursuing another director, or waiting for Affleck's schedule to clear up.
The question is, will that ever happen? Or will the WB ride Affleck like The Lone Ranger rode Silver? Part of this whole Affleck-as-Batman situation, which will involve the actor starring in multiple films as WB's crown jewel superhero, was about pleasing the actor/director, given that both The Town and Argo were such mainstream successes for the studio. Affleck wants to continue directing, shooting his next feature Live By Night sometime later this year, and in the fall he'll have press obligations for David Fincher's Gone Girl. Basically, commitments to Batman vs. Superman - which promises to have both a long, arduous blockbuster-level shoot and will be a tremendous physical strain on the 42 year old thespian - mean that he doesn't have a lot of free time for anything else. The studio likely knows that pushing the superhero film to a start date during any other time in 2014 was a fool's game, and that by postponing or losing Live By Night they'd be losing another potential moneymaker as well as angering one of their treasured filmmakers. So, hey, maybe they do have a script ready to go, namely one from Affleck's Oscar-winning Argo collaborator Chris Terrio.
Of course, if they're ready to shoot now, why was the movie delayed at all? Why depart that primo 2015 release date? The opening slot of summer 2016 is undoubtedly also primo real estate, but by that time it will be only the fifth big DC hero film (not including Jonah Hex) since 2008, the start of Marvel Studio's self-produced empire. In contrast, the competing studio will have put out ten films in the same time period, with the eleventh currently carrying the same May 6, 2016 release date. Seeing Superman and Batman tango onscreen is undoubtedly the audience draw. Waiting another year certainly tempts the overexposure of the genre, though, particularly if it's a long and drawn-out production period. All it takes is the smallest droplet of bad buzz, and the project will look like a sorry sister next to whatever Marvel is cooking up for that date - or even later that summer. Perhaps there's more to this story, but regardless: full steam ahead on the Man Of Steel sequel!

Granted that is fan made but the news is true.
Jesse Eisenberg has been cast as Lex Luthor
and
Jeremy Irons has been cast as Alfred Pennyworth
http://popwatch.ew.com/2014/01/31/jesse-eisenberg-lex-luthor-batman-superman/ (http://popwatch.ew.com/2014/01/31/jesse-eisenberg-lex-luthor-batman-superman/)
I don't see Eisenberg as Lex, but it could work. A lot of people thought Ledger wouldn't work as the Joker, so maybe this could work out similarly. Getting Jeremy Irons is a good get. He's a good actor.
Just when I thought my confidence couldn't get any lower.....
Did they just use random.org to cast this film?
Having said that, I'm a big fan of Jeremy Irons.
I'm anxious to see him, if I'm honest.
A cocky billionaire in the year 2014 doesn't look like an oil tycoon anymore, but rather a young-looking, white kid with a start-up. Granted, Eisenberg's 30 years old (the same age as the guy who plays Superman, if you can believe that), but maybe he'll pull something outta left field.
Call my cautiously optimistic?
Credit Latino Review, via 411mania:
Quote- If you thought that Jesse Eisenberg being cast as Lex Luther in Batman vs. Superman caused some drama, the following rumors could cause some interesting reaction. According to Latino Review, here are the latest rumors on the Lex Luthor character...
Eisenberg's Luthor will be into tattoos, and have a sleeve of the Metropolis skyline down his right arm. He also has a shaved head.
At the age of 14 he was initiated into a gang and then took it over within a year.
He is a ruthless business man and tech genius with street smarts; becoming a self-made billionaire at 18, and is the CEO of Lexcorp.
Wayne and Luthor meet early in the film, but they have a past, as Bruce once called Lex as an amoral, arrogant brat. Lex thinks of Bruce as a trust fund baby and feels he got himself to where he is at by innovation and hard work while Bruce onl;y has what he does because he was born a Wayne.
Wayne is a fan of Superman, while Luthor considers him an alien, and a trespasser that doesn't belong on this planet.
Wayne is in Metropolis to help rebuild, and wants to pull his sources with Luthor's and believes working together would better serve the citizens of Metropolis and Bruce is willing to put his differences with Lex aside.
This leads to Luthor feeling as if Wayne is invading his territory, because Lex Luthor is Lexcorp and Lexcorp is Metropolis. But Luthor also feels that he can use Wayne Enterprises for his own.
That's not terrible.
I like the backstory idea between Lex and Bruce but the tattooed, gangbanger Luthor might be a bit much.
I can only imagine how ridiculous Eisenberg will look, bald and tatted up.
Screen Junkies Imagines What Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor Might Be Like
(http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Eisenberg-B-vs-S-625x351.jpg)
When it was announced last week that Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg had been cast as Superman's best known nemesis Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's Batman vs. Superman, the internet, for lack of a better term, exploded. All of the casting rumors that we had heard leading up to this point had been of the Heisenberg or Joaquin Phoenix variety, and then, BOOM! Jesse Eisenberg?!
There has been nothing but rumors and speculation since the announcement including one breaking today suggesting that Batman vs. Superman would feature a tatted up Lex Luthor, who is possibly a skinhead and hails from the streets. You can read more about those rumors here. And while we have no real insight into any of this, the folks over at Screen Junkies had a little fun with the casting news creating a "trailer" for Batman vs. Superman featuring Eisenberg at his snarkiest, Henry Cavill at his most super, and even a little cameo from the man who would be Batfleck.

Rumor: Cyborg To Appear in BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN?
(http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/andykubert-cyborg.jpg)
According to the latest rumor mill report over at Latino Review, it appears that Victor Stone, a/k/a Cyborg, could have a small part in Batman Vs. Superman, probably leading to a much bigger role in a follow up Justice League movie. According to their sources, the production is currently looking for a black actor in his early 20s who is also physically fit. The part is for a small role in the Batman Vs. Superman movie, but will be recurring in other upcoming DCU films. Apparently, director Zack Snyder met with actor Michael B. Jordan, although his now having the part of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch for Fox's Fantastic Four reboot seems to preclude his involvement with a Justice League movie. But the fact that they wanted Jordan for the part lets you know the type they are going for.
Right now, the evidence is all circumstantial that this is Cyborg, but as far as circumstantial evidence goes, it's pretty strong. Back in September, Latino-Review leaked the info that Warners was "looking for an actress in their late 20s who is both tall and possesses physicality." Based on that description alone, everyone guessed it was Wonder Woman, and it turns out everyone was right. Now, all that's known is they need a "young black actor in his early 20s who is physically fit." Add to that the fact that some of the early scenes already shot for Batman Vs. Superman involve a football game; Before becoming Cyborg, Victor Stone was a football player. DC Comics has been pushing Cyborg hard as a member of the Justice League since the New 52 launch two years ago, and he's now been shown as a founding member in Justice League: War and is on a lot of the Justice League merchandise. It would make a ton of sense that they are looking at Cyborg as the opportunity to racially diversify the League.

Batman vs Superman Update: New LEAKED Plot Details!
Here we go again! These just keep on coming :)
Fresh rumors have emerged regarding the script of Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice. Hybrid Network claim to have a reliable inside source in the production team of the movie. The source apparently showed them legit evidence to back up his claims. Now Hybrid Network generally does not post stuff for the sake of it and they are careful with their videos. They have assured that if you contact them they will name their source.
Possible heavy Batman vs Superman spoilers from here on!
Without further ado, I'll start with some bullet points:
1) The basic plot structure is exactly like The Dark Knight Returns (TDKR)
2) Superman will be a government tool just like in the TDKR. But here he is working for the government & Luthor to atone for all the destruction that happened in Man of Steel.
3) Superman feels immense guilt over the events of Man of Steel and the movie deals with him trying to make up for it in any way possible. This film will be kind of part 2 of his origin story.
4) Batman is a secluded figure. Robin did die at some point during Bruce's career causing him to hang up the cape. Bruce Wayne's age will be around late 40's to early 50's in this film. We don't get much of his back story in this film.
5) Alfred and Bruce have very few scenes and just like TDKR he dissuades him from fighting Superman
6) Jim Gordon is in this film. Bruce Wayne and Gordon have a dinner scene just like in TDKR
7) Wonder Woman comes to Metropolis after the events of Man of Steel because she feels Superman could be one of the lost Gods of her people. She doesn't get too many action scenes but she is involved in the final fight in some capacity.There is a thread which can further lead to 4th world, Darkseid etc.
8 ) Aquaman is in this movie. Arthur Curry is a marine biologist that Superman encounters sometime during the film.
9) Hal Jordan is name dropped in this movie by Amanda Waller who will be working with Mercy Graves and Lex Luthor
10) Lex Luthor will be a young guy in this film. He will lose his hair due to cancer. He will be manipulating Superman. Kryptonite is in this movie
11) Batman vs Superman fight will be the climax of this film and not in the middle as some fans were hoping. Batman beats Superman. Superman holds back in the fight because he knows Batman is correct ideologically
12) Batman teaches Superman that being a government stooge is wrong. Pa Kent's quote is used "You have to decide what kinda man you wanna be" by either one of them at some point of the fight. Superman wants to lose this fight so that the government thinks Superman can be beaten and that he is not an unbeatable God
13) Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman will be the main characters in this film and after Batman vs Superman fight they team up to form the Justice League.
I find this stuff interesting! If these plot points are true then it will deal effectively with the ending of Man of Steel. TDKR is one of the best comic book story-lines ever and Snyder will be wise to stick to it. And Batman is just bad ass here!
What do you guys think about these rumors? Put in your thoughts down below.

Damn..was hoping for Metallo to be the final boss but I'm sure Snyder will give us a good fight scene.
I don't see where Wonder Woman or Aquaman fit in this story.

agree with you on this
Cameos for the next movie...
I picture Micheal B. Jordan to play Cyborg. If anyone plays Raven make it Kristian Stuart she can makes a good emo bitch.
Ray Fisher is already playing Cyborg, but I get the will for Michael B. Jordan. Kirsten Stewart can fuck off though. I would actually take someone like Christina Ricci as Raven, or even someone like Alexandra Daddario.

Damn :( Jordan if he bulked up would match Cyborg perfectly. I was joking about Kirsten Stewart because I cannot stand Raven. The good question who would play Starfire, Beast Boy, and Donna Troy if you would cast the rest of the Titans.

I don't see where all 80 characters they're putting in will fit in.
Batman vs Superman is gonna be a clusterfuck worst than Man of Steel was.

If they do Aquaman they better not make him lame like the comics. Give him the Injustice look so he doesn't look like a wuss.

yep... sequel should have been about superman dealing with the aftermath of the first movie. He not only took a life , but pretty much killed his own people , least condemn them to the phantom zone, choosing his adopted family over his blood family, now he has to deal with the consequences of that chose and maybe have second thoughts , thinking to himself did I actually make the right choice here . Seeing the way people treat each other . maybe people still don't trust him. Hell he did wipe out a major city in knock down drag out brawl with someone of his race. This is god like powers he showing... he not just going to be embrace over night. also rise of Lex Luthor in the rebuilding of metropolis... Luthor doing behind the scenes shit to fuck with supes , because he does not trust him. thinking it is him Luthor , not Superman that the people should follow. Lex having no problems being the Leader he thinks the human race should follow
you could have intro Mongrel or Brainiac , Brainiac being more logical , you could easy have Luthor finding Brainaic and using him to learn more about supes and universe ... Superman battle with Zod has caught the attention of the the universe, hell could have put in bits pieces of Darkseid influence starting to creepy into earth , Batman and the other heroes should been a slow build , cameos , bit parts at best , leading into a justice league movie ,
to me this should have been more of superman movie building on the themes set in the first movie ... DC same to want it all now and think it going to hurt the film
DC should've followed the Marvel formula. Instead they do the opposite.
From the sounds of it. Wonder Woman, aquaman and cyborg will all have an extended cameo.
Outside of that, where does it say they won't be dealing with the aftermath of the fight? Of superman dealing with the consequences of his actions? Of lex Luther rebuilding metroploos?
It's a logical way to have the sequel go following the dark knight returns idea. It'd be tougher to set up the justice league as fast without these two fighting.
Shut up and watch the movie. Then rant appropriately

You have a copy I can borrow?
I was under the impression that Wonder Woman was going to have quite a big part in this movie.
what i am saying it should just been a superman movie ... but I will wait and see when it comes out
From what I understand, this is NOT Man of Steel 2. MoS 2 will be made after BvS. Wonder Woman will have a hefty role in this movie, and everyone else will basically be extended cameos.
They're using this movie to set up the conflict between Bats and Supes, to create the DC Universe going forward.
It's been confirmed (by Snyder or some writer or some other important WB person) that a proper MoS 2/Supes solo comes after BvS. I think Angry Joe put it best when he said WB/DC compared MoS's 600+mil to the last 2 Batman films' billion dollar grosses, then decided to throw Batman back in the loop to not only make more money, but start up their DCU to compete with Marvel.
Michael B Jordan's superhero career might be done for. The Fantastic Four seems like it'll flop after all the fan outcries - Kate revealing the story has nothing to do with what's seen in the comics was a big nail in the coffin. And, with these things, you only get one shot to play a hero before the execs find new meat....unless your name is Ryan Reynolds, in which case you get 3 shots.
To be fair, he's young like Chris Evans was who went from Johnny Storm to Captain America, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to find a role as a super hero, I mean given Marvel's success with GotG and the Inhumans news, he'll find a role in obsure superhero movie #23 or something in a couple years.
ANd Reynolds has been tied to Deadpool for years, even the shitty version in Origins couldn't hurt him there.
