Man of Steel sequel to feature Batman (and others) (2016)


Recommended Posts

I'm looking forward to seeing some footage of him as Batman. I want to see if it's a hit or miss.

 

Yeah I want to hate it really early on because the casting is atrocious but if I see footage it might change my mind completely

I'm secretly hoping it's going the way that the Joker casting went, haha :p

Finally saw Man of Steel. It is hands down the worst comic book movie I have ever seen. No hope for this one now.

The first movie was really weak but with the casting announced for the new one it's shaping up to be a better film. It would be difficult for it to be any worse.

I think that's a bit of a hyperbole, I mean most of these superhero films aren't all that. They are well produced, but I think you really have to like your overblown blockbuster action roller coaster films to get something from them.

That's why I said "comic book movies." To me this was maybe tad better than Transformers.

Has Ben Affleck filmed his first scene?

"I was walking out to the restroom before the game," said their source. "I ran into this very nice man who knew one of the players that were the extras on the Gotham home team. He said that Ben Affleck was indeed there. How does he know this? Because the extra he knew filmed a scene with Affleck earlier that day in the locker rooms before the crowd started arriving. He said the scene was about Bruce Wayne giving a motivational speech to the team!"

There?s been plenty of buzz that Zack Snyder?s upcoming ?Batman vs. Superman? film will feature an appearance by Wonder Woman, and Greg Silverman, Warner Bros.? president of creative development and worldwide production, addressed the rumor Monday at the Variety Entertainment & Tech Summit.

When asked by Variety?s Claudia Eller whether the film would introduce other DC Comics superheroes, such as Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash, to reunite part of the Justice League, Silverman took the idea of Wonder Woman and ran with it.

?We have been doing a lot of thinking for years about how to best use all those characters and we love them,? Silverman said. ?Wonder Woman is an amazing character. I think it?s a great opportunity both for box office success, but also to have an amazingly powerful female superhero.?

?Is she going to have her own separate movie or is she going to be a part of this?? Eller asked.

?We are taking it all very seriously and are trying to do a plan that?s respectful to those characters and maximizes the stories as best they can,? Silverman said, dodging the question. ?So everything that has been speculated are things that we?ve thought about.?

Silverman also addressed the studio?s controversial casting of Ben Affleck as Batman ? fans even signed a petition urging Warner Bros. to remove Affleck from the film ? standing by Warner?s choice of the Oscar winner for the role.

?We knew going in that we had more information than the general public had,? he said. ?We knew what the take of the movie was, we knew what the character was going to be. We don?t take these decisions lightly. We thought about everybody ? brand new people, established people. Ben is the perfect guy to play this role.?

And although he didn?t give any details away about how Affleck?s character will interact with Henry Cavill?s Superman (?they both will be wearing suits, there are capes involved, there will be action, there will be excitement?), he did stress that Snyder and screenwriter David Goyer?s story will do both characters justice.

?They?ve crafted a great story,? he said. ?I mean, this is where it all comes from for us. It?s just a great story that involves these amazing characters.?

Watch them have Batman in EVERY other characters intro movies to some degree to make sure none of them are a box office flop. Batman = $$$, the others? Don't know really.

"The Batmobile is currently being designed and built by General Motors at the GM Advanced Design Studio in North Hollywood. This is the same team who most recently designed and built the vehicles for TRANSFORMERS 4 with Michael Bay ? who was very hands-on and involved in the design/building process for the new Bumblebee Camaro. Anyway, back to the new Batmobile?
It will definitely NOT have a military look like The Tumbler from [Chris] Nolan?s ?Dark Knight Trilogy.?

"As of about four weeks ago, it was still ?pictures on the wall? ? meaning nothing had actually been built yet.

"An ?old Cadillac? will feature prominently in the film. When I remarked to my source that the Cadillac Sixteen concept car from a few years back looked a lot like a Batmobile, he stayed mum.

"Now this is pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if this ?old Cadillac? be the new Batmobile? Perhaps one is being retrofitted to be Batman?s ride in BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN? There are some interesting "old Cadillac" concept cars, including cars from the '40's, '50's, and '70s (I've attached pictures of some) that somewhat resemble various previous iterations of the Batmobile from comic books, television, and film. In recent years, there have also been several Cadillac concept cars (like the Aera and Thorium Fuel concepts) that fit the bill of a high-tech, supercar-style Batmobile (with some Bat-themed modifications, of course). After all, basing a Batmobile on an old concept car has precedent as the '1966 Batmobile' from the 60s BATMAN TV series was based on the 1955 Lincoln Futura."

Yeah I can see how the tumblr wasn't a crowd pleasure, hence  they need something to grab the mobs attention and monies!

Personally I loved the Tumbler. I even have a scale model of it. Can't wait to see the Batmobile from this movie though!

I acutally liked the Tumbler. 

So did I, but I think the vast majority didn't like all of batmans gizmos being too militaryish

I think it made perfect sense in Nolan's Trilogy though. People not liking the military stuff Batman used in that Trilogy has no links with this film however. I think the quote in your previous post just meant that it's years after his first few years and that that's why it won't look so 'primitive'.

I know know, We know that, but the public in general was like "wtf, that's that batmobile" :P

In that case, they didn't exactly understand why the Tumbler was the Batmobile then :p

Prepare for a way bulked up Affle?k. Jennifer Gardner was at an event and told a reporter her hubby is in the gym several hours a day and shoveling protein.

Affleck is a big dude to start with. If he does like Christian Bale did for Batman Begins, at 6' 4" he may well look more like Batman than any past actor.

    • Very fitting name since AI users have air where there brains should be.
    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
