Warner Bros. Pushes ‘Batman vs. Superman’ Back 10 Months to ‘Fully Realize Vision’

Image
According to  thewrap.com The move sets up an intriguing potential showdown between the rival megafranchises next May July 17, 2015 was the date fans of the Batman movies deserved, but not the one that Warner Bros. needs right now. The studio has pushed back the release of its untitled “Batman vs. Superman” film to May 6, 2016 — a delay of nearly 10 months — to “allow the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story,” the studio told TheWrap on Friday. The move is an interesting piece of the Marvel/Disney Warner Bros./DC rivalry for a couple of reasons: It takes Warners’ team-up of Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman out of the same summer as “Avengers: Age of Ultron” — and puts it squarely in the early-May zone that Marvel has owned since the gangbusters launch of “Iron Man” in 2008. In fact, Marvel had an as-yet-unveiled film set on that date — is it Doctor Strange? Black Panther? Iron Man 4? — setting up a who-blinks-fi

RETINAX-5 CALLED IT, FOLKS! Superman/Batman will end with JLA cliffhanger! (Rumored, anyway)

Image
Latino-Review dropped a bit more gossip on everyone about the upcoming Superman-Batman movie, saying that it will shoot back-to-back with it's follow up: Justice League .  Because Batman vs Superman is going to end with an insane cliffhanger/teaser that leads right into Justice League and, like those other back-to-back productions, they want to be able to deliver the second film within a year to strike while the iron is hot.

JGL talks potential for 'Sandman'

Image
The basic concept of it – just the concept of personifying Dream, along with all of his brothers and sisters, the seven Endless personifying Death, personifying Destruction and Delirium and Destiny and Desire and Despair. I mean, that’s just a fascinating and, I think, a really cinematic concept. You look at the art of Sandman, and it just looks spectacular. I love big, spectacular movies, but oftentimes big, spectacular movies sort of get stuck in a rut. They go down certain paths that end in big explosions or whatever. Sandman has so much opportunity to do something that’s on a grand, grand scale, but really unlike your average big, grand-scale, spectacular movie. I guess that’s the tip of the iceberg.

WARNING: HEAVY SARCASM AHEAD: Post Workout Wonder-Gal Pix

Photographers caught Gal Gadot after an extensive workout prepping her for the role of Amazonian Heavy-Hitter, Wonder Woman. The model turned actress has stated that in addition to bulking up, she’ll be learning Kung Fu, kickboxing, sword fighting, and jujutsu for the role. Clearly, it's working. I wouldn't like to meet that bad ass in a dark alley. Or even a poorly lit alley.  Okay, I jest, obviously it's very early in her training. But I couldn't resist the chance to poke fun.  - Lyesmith
