HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

On the heels of the worldwide success of “Man of Steel,” director Zack Snyderis bringing together the two greatest Super Heroes of all time—Batman and Superman—for the first time on the big screen. The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution,Warner Bros. Pictures.

nyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay. Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an anticipated release date inSummer 2015.

The new film brings back Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder as producers. This time, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are serving as executive producers, along with Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.

Thomas offered, “Whilst our ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy is complete, we have every confidence that Zack’s fresh interpretation will take the character in a new and exciting direction. His vision for Superman opened the door to a whole new universe and we can’t wait to see what Zack does with these characters.”

flashpoint paradox was dope

[ShadowBun]

^ Definitely
Kind of down that they didn't show what Bruce's dad wrote

[StylinRed]

They've been wanting to do a Batman Superman movie for decades i'll believe it when i see it

As for JL they've been talking about that for ages as well but have kept pushing it back

Hopefully we'll see them

[SkinnyPupp]

I dunno without Christopher Nolan, Batman might suck again

Because both the latest Superman movies kind of sucked. The last one sold a lot of tickets though so that's the direction that'll stay I guess. The thing about the Nolan movies is that they did well AND they were good. We need more movies like that.

[StylinRed]

i dont think nolans style would fly for something like justice league though or even superman heck it barely worked for batman imo (but they were good flicks nonetheless)

[SkinnyPupp]

No I don't think so either... Whedon would be perfect, as has been proven.. but obviously that can't happen.

JJ Abrams would be a better choice than what Snyder has shown too.. but again he'll be busy for a long time with Star Wars

I get what they're going for by going with Snyder, I just don't really like it. His movies are all style, no substance. Abrams and Whedon can do the style, but their movies still have interesting characters.

Actually I think David Fincher would make an amazing super hero movie :ahwow:

[nabs]

i dont think nolans style would fly for something like justice league though or even superman heck it barely worked for batman imo (but they were good flicks nonetheless)

They need Michael Bay for the Justice League...

Robot Chicken: Michael Bay Presents: Explosions! - YouTube

Needs moar unnecessarily awesome explosions

[StylinRed]

^^^ i could see him working for Teen Titans he'll fill all the roles with models + explosions and since it would be a teen flick BOOM success :D

No I don't think so either... Whedon would be perfect, as has been proven.. but obviously that can't happen.

I still think McG would be a good choice I don't get the hate I thought Terminator Salvation was good :)

JJ Abrams would be a better choice than what Snyder has shown too.. but again he'll be busy for a long time with Star Wars

agreed even though im not a fan of flares ;)

Abrams can do the style,

OH NO U DIDNT :D


Actually I think David Fincher would make an amazing super hero movie :ahwow:

:crazy2: actually he would probably have made a great Batman director

Unfortunately, David S. Goyer and Henry Cavill didn't let slip any huge details about the recently announced Batman/Superman movie, but did reveal that they have yet to decide on a title for the Man of Steel sequel. "We don't know what we're going to call it yet — 'Superman vs. Batman,' 'Batman vs. Superman,' — but those two guys on screen, that's happening." World's Finest seems to be a popular choice among many fans, but that may not be the best title to help sell this movie to regular moviegoers. What would you guys like them to choose? When Goyer was asked whether or not he was surprised about the backlash surrounding Superman breaking General Zod's neck at the end of Man of Steel, he replied: "To a certain extent, Superman, cinematically, hadn't been reinvented since the Donner films. We will be dealing it with the coming film. He's not fully formed in [Man of Steel]. He will have to deal with the repercussions in the next film.

[RFlush]

Nah, they are looking into either Val Kilmer or George Clooney to fill the role. :troll:

tough to cast the new batman. huge bat shoes to fill.

Just finished watching flashpoint paradox, sooo good highly recommend it to those that didn't watch it yet.

lol at superman, sorta reminded me of mr fantastic

[twitchyzero]

agreed
but I don't think Fincher can do a good comic book adaptation tho...then again I'd probably say the same thing about Nolan before he did the batman films

[rsx]

Any ideas on the story line? Adapt a comic series?

[SkinnyPupp]

Sometimes it's the less obvious choices that do the best job.. I mean this whole modern superhero movie revolution was started by Spiderman, directed by Sam Raimi who up until that point did mostly horror movies

[DanHibiki]

Parts of the dark knight returns will be in it.

yeah most of them are on netflix too. I'm a sucker for super hero cartoons lol. there's just some things you can't emulate from a cartoon.

[DanHibiki]

If anyone is a fan of Arrow, the Green Arrow tv show, Barry Allen aka The Flash will be in season 2 and then followed by his own spin off tv show.

I'm excited and scared at the same time. Arrow is doing just fine on its own. It's also a direct copy of the nolanverse batman where everything is grounded. He's been trapped on an island for 5 years. Comes back. Pretends he's still a billionaire playoff but secretly a dark tormented vigilante. They've redone all the villains to make them grounded and without powers.

But then bam! We're hit with this flash news and now the fans are all skeptical.

Apparently Josh Brolin is in the lead for Batman...

I don't understand this choice. The guy is 46. If they plan on having a long franchise with these guys shouldn't they get someone younger?

[knight604]

Or.. Ryan gosling...

apparently they are looking for an older Bruce Wayne..someone in their 40's

I think Brolin would fit that role well. I also think Fassbender would be a great pick.

[DanHibiki]

Ya because the movie script will be based mostly on the dark knight returns where Bruce is almost 60. Also they think having an older batman makes more sense to counter the younger inexperienced Clark.

I disagree with this though. I don't see any problems with having a younger Bruce and still out smarting Clark. Again, if you want this to be long term you'll need younger actors.
Posted via RS Mobile

[hotshot1]

Brolin would be an awesome old Batman.

I'm not feeling Ryan Gosling though. Thinking of him as Batman reminds me of Brosnan playing Bond. I'm sure he could play the character and a bunch of people would enjoy it but it's not believable for me. He doesn't have that bad motherfucker look, I dunno it's hard to explain.

[DanHibiki]

Ryan gosling as Bruce Wayne is okay but can't see him as batman.
Posted via RS Mobile

[StylinRed]

ryan gosling? :rofl: :fuckthatshit: maybe as the flash since he plays the goofy guy wonderfully but he's been trying to drop that image ever since leaving breaker high
but just being the silent unemotional expressionless guy won't last long or carry him farther and batman is far from unemotional/expressionless

[DanHibiki]

I can't even see him as flash so no.
Posted via RS Mobile

[iEatClams]

christian bale was perfect for batman. he was the right age, right built; also has that dark intimidating crazy look (maybe from american psycho) and can kick ass yet can woo women at the same time.

will be tough shoes to fill.

[StylinRed]

Since they're going for an Old Batman

I would really really really really really really like to see Michael Keaton be Batman again :)


He's 61 now but with some training/juice/HGH he could do imo :D and it would be awesome :D

doesn't look too bad

I guess comics just aren't for me.. I tried watching that Flashpoint animation people are raving about... just can't watch it.. I don't want to put anyone down who likes this stuff, but it just doesn't do it for me. If I was 13-16 I absolutely would have LOVED it, I'm sure.

I guess that explains why I didn't like Avengers or most superhero movies.. Well I liked Spiderman...

[StylinRed]

flashpoint was a great comic story line that is it was a fun read while on the can :)

the animated movie was bleh

[DanHibiki]

I liked the animated movie. It was different from the other DC animated movies because it was much darker and bleek. That world looked hopeless.
Posted via RS Mobile

[SkinnyPupp]

It would have been dark if not for all the goofy characters with silly names in their whacky costumes

"I'm the Flash! I'm a superhero!" :facepalm:

[rsx]

totally agree. i don't understand why people loved Flashpoint, it was nothing. under the red hood was probably the only good one.

If the rumours are true, Warner Bros. offered $50 million dollars to convince Christian Bale to reprise the role of the Dark Knight in Justice League. -might even include playing Batman in the Man of Steel 2.

I don't know if he'd be interested if it's directed by Zac Snyder. It's going to be a goofball movie, and his portrayal of Batman doesn't really fit in.

I'm sorry everyone for what I'm about to say but this is no joke....

Ending weeks of speculation, Ben Affleck has been set to star as Batman, a.k.a. Bruce Wayne. Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder’s as-yet-untitled project—bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director’s vision of their universe, which he established in “Man of Steel.” The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. The film is slated to open on July 17, 2015.

n the announcement, Silverman stated, “We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics’ most enduringly popular Super Heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill, and then some. His outstanding career is a testament to his talent and we know he and Zack will bring new dimension to the duality of this character.” Snyder also expressed his excitement about the casting of Affleck, noting, “Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him.”

His Batman movies may not really stand the test of time and they may not have that Nolan realism aspect, but I still to this day think he was an excellent Batman AND Bruce Wayne.

Others can do one and not the other.

Batman and Superman movie will be filmed in Toronto. The better tax credits in Ontario, 25 percent of all production costs, compared to B.C's 33 percent of only labour costs like wages may be the big reason for the move of the film production.
