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

x

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.

- 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.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
