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


Recommended Posts

To be honest, I'm not believing the rumor about Denzel being Green Lantern. I just can't see him as Green Lantern and I just can't see him in a superhero film for that matter either. He's a great actor and I love watching his films, but he shouldn't be in films like these if you ask me. Also, I'd think they'd be hiring too many A-list actors for this film if he was going to be in it.

I think that the 3rd Man of Steel film should be only about Superman, and no other heroes. The ACT III you're talking about should just be the first Justice League film.

Denzel is too old to play John Stewart.

Shemar Moore of Criminal Minds has the intensity, physique and youth to play John Stewart. His part on CM is also a former Marine, like Stewart, and he has it down.

He has the look that's for sure

Denzel Washington Considered For Green Lantern In "Batman vs Superman"

According to our source, the ?Training Day? actor is being considered for the role of Green Lantern John Stewart instead. If this proves to be true, Green Lantern will join an ever growing list of members from DC?s Justice League of America that also include Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Wait...why not use Ryan Reyonds again for the Green Lantern?? Why go with someone else, I'm sure he would do the part if asked! I mean they talked about the Green Lantern 2 and 3 here - http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ryan_Reynolds_Talks_Green_Lantern_2_%26_3

am I missing something here with all this or what?

1) Reynolds sucked as Hal Jordan.

2) Earth has more than one Green Lantern in the Corps, one of them being John Stewart - a black Detroit architect & former Marine. Many fans actually prefer him to Jordan. He's also the Justice League animated series Green Lantern.

The Green Lantern is one of those films that deserves and needs a reboot that's done right. With a completely new cast and one that features the suits in a much nicer way. They should keep those close to what they look like in the comic-books. You know what would be a nice way is that they'd introduce the Lanterns of Earth throughout the films, all of them having their own intro films. And then have them all team up with the Lantern Corps against the Sinestro Corps. Though I guess the teamin-up of heroes to defeat a big threat would be getting old by then :p

Batman vs Superman Has a $131 Million Dollar Film Budget in Michigan

Total Budget rumor here: $250 million

I hear some filming will also be in Toronto. Detroit is likely going to be Gotham City and Toronto the stand-in for Metropolis.

If so we have a real stand-in for the BatCave as well - they can choose from 10 km2 of salt mines 1200+ feet below the city. Perfect.

Are you serious? Denzel Washington been Green Lantern? is this a joke or a funny type of movie? if this is true, the whole movie is going to be a joke.

It was a casting rumour :p

- Jason Mamoa will not be Martian Manhunter or Aquaman. Neither character is in the film.

- Wonder Woman could have ?cameo plus? type role in the film, on par with what Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow did in Iron Man 2

- Expects the first look at Ben Affleck in early 2014 right around the time they will start filming in February.

- Has been told that the film is truly a Superman sequel and not a secret Justice League film like everyone suspects.

- Thinks that Arrow being included in the DC Movie Universe is wishful thinking.

- Believes we will get another Superman sequel without any other DC characters.

- Character wise he expects Batman to be, ? a healthy amount of Dark Knight Returns, a bit of Kingdom Come, and just a dash of Batman Beyond.?

- No Batman villains will be included.

- Doesn?t expect any shade of blue or tights for the Batsuit. More armor with Beyond and or Kingdom Come capabilities.

Oh man, the things they have planned for Batman sounds pretty sweet! And I'm glad Wonder Woman's role will be like Black Widow's in Iron Man 2. Good to know it'll be a proper Superman sequel and not a Justice League film!

Also, who would think that Jason Mamoa would be Martian Manhunter or Aquaman? He doesn't look suited to play either of those 2 characters :p

Sounds like it'll be how I expected with any other JL heroes in a cameo of sorts.  I could see WW acting as Bruce Waynes GF working off of the animated JL pairing they had going.  Then towards the end of the movie when things are going down she comes out as WW and shows her abilities.

I could see that too. It makes a lot of sense. Maybe too much sense for Hollywood.

"Happy New Year! I have a minor update regarding location shooting BvS. I was told that location shooting of vehicle chase scenes (read: Batmobile scenes) will not take place until the Summer. I am under the impression that other location shooting, including exteriors -- in addition to studio shooting -- could begin as soon as next month, but that has not been confirmed. I'll continue to keep my ears to the ground."

Cosmic Book News has a shifty history when it comes to these insider scoops, but I'm willing to take their report with a grain HUGE of salt. According to them, "Some details we have been given on the Wonder Woman costume include it will be similar to 300 and Greek Mythology.

The Golden Eagle breast plate is still there as are the bracelets on her wrists as well as the crown with a red torso top, which is more like protective thick leather armor and red knee high boots.

Our DC Entertainment source then said things start to change as he looked at art with about 40 different versions designed all with different bottoms. Some of the designs had the classic pants look, trousers, skirts, everything.

Our DC Entertainment source believes the one chosen is a sort of dark blue skirt with a belt around the top where a sword and lasso hang from. The source also believes Wonder Woman will have a round gold and black shield and possibly a red cape that sits to the right hand side."

It does sound interesting but I'm gonna reserve my judgment when we get our first official look of Wonder Woman whenever that is. Also, something that really intrigued me was when they said, "We're told Gal Gadot will be put on a 3500 calorie-a-day diet training three hours a day possibly with trainer Mark Twight."

Alter's been leaking a lot of stuff but isn't part of the crew - officially. Seems he's an unofficial conduit for the viral campaign.

That said, straigjt to Justice League - nonstop? Well, that would explain all the characters.

Another tidbit is that Affleck helped bring in Chris Terrio, the Oscar winning writer of Argo, to tighten up the script before shooting began.

As much as I'd like to see a Justice League movie, I think jumping right into it isn't a good idea.. unless they have some big surprises for us. The Avengers did so well because they gradually built up to it with 5 movies. Iron Man (2008), The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron man 2 (2010), Thor (2011) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

 

I really hope they call it something else. Where's Flash? Where's the Martian Manhunter? And Aquaman? They shouldn't jump into a Justice League movie without these characters.

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
