I'm coming to the rescue:
1 likeYou ain't Frank Miller though...
0 likesBut Batgirl wasn't even in Frank Miller's TDKR but i hope that Jena Malone's role would be either Babs Gordon or Carrie Kelley who was in BTDKR:
0 likes
Ehh I can't agree with you on that one. For me, Carrie's presence in TKDR was unnecessary and unsolicited especially in the colossal sequence of events that is a Batman-Superman showdown.
Based on Jena dying her hair red un-coincidentally at the same time of filming for BvS, I can bet a Zod snapped neck that Carrie's Robin will be in this movie.
0 likesI completely disagree with you cause she was a good help to this older Bats in BTDKR but i hope you're right about that Jena is in it as Carrie Kelley Robin.
0 likesReally? A 15 year old helping one of the greatest superheroes of all time seems a bit patronizing to Batman's esteem to me, but to each their own. A Nightwing helping an aging Batman is what I'd personally prefer, but the Frank Miller storyline is flawless nonetheless
0 likesMy question is, is Jena Malone in the movie or not according to you? and btw. i still disagree with you about Carrie Kelley's character and she was a strong character in the New 52 universe.
0 likesThis has been discussed somewhere farther along down this comment thread, but Jena Malone's unconfirmed role and involvement in BvS is akin to the secrecy surrounding Jason Momoa's Aquaman. Chris has posted some solid articles on this website about how there's a more than solid chance Malone is playing Carrie Kelly, just based on her confirmed but unknown role on set, dying her short blonde bob red, among other things.
Also, I'm slowly getting back into New 52 stuff (the initial shock scarred me), so I'd love to read the issues where Carrie character developed a little more
0 likesSo according to you Jena Malone is in BvS probably playing Carrie Kelley being Robin or not, we don't know yet but Babs Gordon is completely out of the game to you? Btw. Scoot McNairy's and Callan Mulvey's roles are also still secret.

Meh, needs more deus ex machina. If Superman was a REAL hero, he would have just waited for some completely benign secret government agency to show up at the last minute and save all civilians without any sweat or consequences. Apparently, that's the kind of "heroism" that audiences are really eager for. I mean, aren't real fanboys hungry for the return of the comics code?

Love it!
2 likesI actually got absurdelly snarky when Stark was fighting the Hulk and punched him right in the middle of a very crowded street.
2 likesOr the scenes where the team was so uncessarily vocal about evacuating a floating city.
So I'm supposed to believe that the robot invasion took approximately an hour break while the Avengers evacuated a city and not one civilian happened to be left in the residual crossfire??
Way to throw uncalculated shade Whedon...
2 likesIndeed. Actually, doesn't it sound like they did that just to not leave open space for the same kind of criticism MoS had to deal with? Not that it would matter now.
1 likeThat's exactly what they were going for for. Whedon said it himself in an interview that civilian safety and depicting superheroes who "care about civilian safety" is his priority for AOU--a direct jab at MoS.
The whole destruction in MoS pining is as baseless and stupid as the first few days when critics were negatively reacting to MoS.
If super powerful evil aliens want violence, death, and destruction, that's what they're going to bring. Innocent people will unfortunately perish in these evil plans, theres NO way of avoiding this concept.
1 likeThere was ONE Superman to effectivelly three villains with powers almost as big as his. People criticize him for not trying to take the fight away, but I imagine that the seccond Superman turns his back so Zod follows him, Zod gives no shit and destroys the city anyway.
Zod wouldn't be stupid to realize that he's being played.

Do it once, you won't love it but it's decent enough. Not a Thor movie level
0 likes
Hm..."NO" to this. I'm not a Marvel fan. I don't like Marvel. But this was an inexcusable oversight on Snyder's part. For me, it was the only real problem in MoS. He didn't even TRY to get Zod out of there. And he easily could have. Just grab onto him and pull him into the ocean or something. The fact that he didn't try anything rubs me the wrong way to this day.
0 likes
This can be discussed. Yes, there's really no showing of him even trying to do that and I agree that it should have been shown.
Now, Zod would not be so gullyble to just let himself being pulled, and I have for myself that the scene where he's punching him over the city in a straight line is an attempt to get to the ocean.
Point is, even if Superman tried, Zod would be smart enough to understand what he wanted and would just come back to the city.
A scene showing something like that wouldn't hurt too, but still.1 likeIn the anthology of all superhero movies, shows--all action movies and depictions in general: name one that was super specific about evacuating the city the way MoS was criticized for not doing and AOU tried really hard in doing??. And why is it that the scrutiny over this had to begin with Man Of Steel??
This argument over destruction in MoS falls apart every time, I don't understand the basis around it at all.
2 likesNo, that's stupid. Nothing had to begin with MoS. A problem is a problem, and I don't care if another inferior movie done it too.

That's what i was thinking for a very long time, i was like if Marvel had closing credits, why can't DC have opening credits like Watchmen.
0 likes
I don't think it will have any opening credits like Watchmen, but I do think the movie will open up with Bruce Wayne in Metropolis at the time of the Zod invasion. Just picture Bruce sitting at a meeting or something and shit starts to go down.
4 likesActually this movie is set to take place 1 or 2 years after MoS so a opening credits like Watchmen would come in handy to explain what happened in that time period in a pretty quick way. Considering we are hearing rumors that MoS lead to a sudden increase in meta human population and the entire world government collectively scratching their heads.
1 likeI think BvS starts with a retired Bats who after 10 years meets another Robin named Carrie Kelley.
0 likesI have been consistently hearing rumors and reports that said Jena Malone is playing Barbara Gordon and not Carrie Kelly. And this Batman will be like 44 years old in the movie so he's not Dark Knight Returns level of oldie yet.
1 likeThose rumours are false cause i haven't seen an article on Babs but a lot on Carrie Kelley on You Tube. Btw. Babs isn't part of Frank Miller's TDKR.
0 likesBarbara not being a part of TDKR doesn't mean she won't be in the movie and Carrie being a part of TDKR doesn't mean she will be in the movie, because adaptations doesn't work that way.
2 likesZack Snyder said in an interview that BvS is heavily influenced by BTDKR where Carrie Kelley and Bats were the main characters. If she's Babs then probably she will be Oracle but we are still in the dark here about Jena Malone's role, she isn't even officially confirmed that she's in the movie.
0 likesWell Jena Malone is in the movie for sure there's no doubt about that but frankly speaking Oracle/Barbara brings more to the table in the current DCCU than what Carrie Kelly can bring.
2 likes
There is doubt, because no one has confirmed it.
1 likeIts Jason Momoa all over again, she's doing the same thing when asked by the media and even THR has confirmed that she's in the movie. So she is in the movie but its only a matter of which character is she really playing.
0 likesThat's the point, only THR and Variety confirmed Jena Malone being part of BvS but not for what role. In general both sources are quite reliable. It's all speculation of course about her role but the IG photo of hers where she showed her cartoon-esque red hair wasn't coincidence.
0 likes
Well i hope you're right cause it doesn't matter to me whether she's Babs or Carrie Kelley, i like both characters and Jena Malone is a top-notch actress, she deserves a decent role.

0 likesAnd as I said before I still won't believe you till you give me evidence!!!!
1 likeFor the last time and i'm not gonna repeat myself anymore, there was a set visit of hers cause she and Zack are good friends, they were eating an ice cream and for sure they were talking about a possible role, she wouldn't only be there to say hello and how are you doing, no i don't think so. A few days later she appeared on her Instagram where she was sporting a cartoon-esque red hairdo accompanied with the words: Drastic times call for drastic measures. This is telling me that she dropped us a hint. You may find out yourself what this means.
Well here's the evidence in the form of pics:0 likesHere they are:
0 likesShe was on the set once!!!! And was never seen on it again!!!! ANDwhen she was on the set her hair was not red!!!
1 likePlease pay attention and re-read my comment below with the pics and all. She was more than once on set but that isn't seen anymore cause BvS is filmed in high secrecy.
0 likesAnd you know she was on the set multiple times how??? As you just said it was filmed in secrecy!!!
1 likeThis was confirmed by other people and if you think for a little this time the whole story i wrote in my previous comments should give you the answer.
0 likes
Can you PLEASE stop insisting on your Carrie Kelley / Jena Malone theory? None of us really know how the movie will begin, and for sure we don't know if Carrie is going to be part of BvS. Also, the fact that Snyder said the movie is heavily influenced by TDKR doesn't mean it will include ALL the characters that appeared on that comic.
2 likes
I never said that,i advise you to read better my comments and stop insisting with your comments on mine. Btw. the start of the movie will be a retired Bats, it's been said by many others.

Aren't you insisting on the fact that Carrie will be on the film? Not to mention you are already giving the role to Jena Malone. And we still don't know if the retired Bats thing is true, until it´s confirmed is just a rumor like any other.
0 likes
Bats is retired maybe for 10 years after the killing of Jason Todd by the Joker cause rumour has it that he might appear in BvS in a flash back scene and Malone isn't officially confirmed but i believe THR and Variety if they say she's in it cause they're quite reliable sources in general. From deduction and logic i say she's in it playing a redheaded character.

It would be cool if the satellite Superman destroyed was working as some sort of spy satellite to track down the Joker, and when it got destroyed, it lead to him eluding Batman and eventually killing Jason Todd. Thus all giving Bruce a reason to hate Superman.

Fan theories like this are one of the reasons why I have heart palpitations. Primarily because a JaredJoker appearance in BvS would literally have me crying tears of joy.
0 likesWell rumour has it that the Joker might appear in BvS in a flashback scene maybe about his past or killing Jason Todd where Bats then retires for 10 years and after that Carrie Kelley might come into play.

On the note of Gonzales/El Mayimbe, has anyone noticed he openly refers to himself and his fans as "fanboys," ignoring the fact that word is deliberately loaded with negative connotations and doesn't actually mean the same thing as 'fans?'
The guy's not only unreliable he's kinda ignorant about this industry.I'm glad he's supplying us with this but him "breaking" the Joker photos by reposting them is getting old, as well as all of his "reliable sources'" scoops about things which are getting constantly disproved, he takes a lot of credit for a lot of things which aren't necessarily his alone and I'm growing tired of his constant Kevin Fiege worship and his "BOOMS" when he posts, but that's just personal dislike I guess.
9 likes
Also he breaks things that were rumored months back. Like Doomsday. I think the guy just makes guesses most the time to remain relevant.
2 likesExactly, I think Doomsday was like a year ago too and I thought Latino Review was one of those 'rumour' mongers back then.
He's alright with casting but I think he honestly just throws out so many ideas for stories with plausible and obvious scenes in some that he then says "my scoop was right" when he gets one obvious thing right out of a hundred misses.
3 likes
He was wrong about Joe Manganiello. The actor even said he wasn't in talks for Deathstroke. No need to lie from his part since it already didn't work out. So bullshit.
He said there would be a Planet Hulk film while Ruffalo stated recently that Marvel can't even make another Hulk film without another studio, Universal, which has the rights to solo Hulk films. Pretty sure Universal has no interest and eh maybe never mentioned that deal-breaker, which means he doesn't know shit about the inner-workings of the studios. So bullshit.
Said that Bale would return as Batman. Bale later confirmed that he was never even approached. Again, no reason to lie from the actor's standpoint. So bullshit.
Said that Chris Pine would be Green Lantern TWICE. Back in 2009, it was bullshit. Thus far in 2015, it hasn't come true.
Said that Asa Butterfield has the role of Spider-Man. NOT confirmed. Multiple trades have said that other actors are still testing.
The guy makes shit up. At best, he just releases information without checking any real sources because he probably doesn't have any reliable ones. The trades have debunked him multiple times. Sure, he gets 1 out of 10 correct but that's not good enough for me. He has not been right most of the time. He has some promo art of Batman v Superman. Cool. I still wouldn't trust any of his "scoops." Check out Hollywood Reporter, they have real scoops every single day. Just my opinion.
4 likesAgreed. To call him a theorist would be more accurate than 'journalist.'

I have no idea if this is good or bad but if it makes Amell cry some more then that's great! Guy kept whining about not being included in the cinematic universe.
2 likesHey, Amell's a cool guy, give him a break. He openly supports the DCCU but wanted to be involved and probably will be one day if they do Crisis- can you blame him for being a bit disappointed? Either way he's helming the DC TV universe and he's said multiple times he's ecstatic about that. He doesn't NEED to say it, you can tell.
I prefer the universes separate, but he's not just a whining fanboy about the universes being separate, he's sticking up for his very talented friend and costar who he thought could pull off being Flash in a movie. Give him a break, and please watch some of his Q and As and whatnot before suggesting he's ever whined about not being included. Seriously, "if it makes Amell cry then that's great," and then you call him a whiner? Think what you want of him, that's being petty.
5 likesAmell isn't a cool guy, he's THE cool guy.
1 likeI wouldn't say that. His first season's acting has been stronger than Amell's and he's got several movies lined up as big roles, it won't be too long before he leads one.
2 likesFor sure, but Amell's lining up for that kind of thing and Grant's very popular. When you've got people who honestly cannot act in movies great TV actors helming a very popular TV series like Grant aren't long shots, certainly enough of a chance to not use "never."
1 likeFlaws with your post:
- Ignoring acclaim and praise for his acting on Flash.
- Acting as if TV is somehow the medium for weaker actors nowadays, and if you honestly think that you really need to pay more attention to the industry.
- And above all pretending you know what his future holds. I'm from the future, not you.

Maybe B-List but that's a Longshot
1 likeHe played the game pretty well though. Almost 18 months ago, he posted a picture of the Justice League on his facebook page and got his fans all riled up. Then when asked about Justice League, he said that he would love to be in it. When DC and WB announced that the two universes would be separate, he threw a hissy fit. He said the DCTU didn't need the movies and then said he wouldn't want to be in Justice League because he didn't want to undercut his show.
Yes, I'm sure you wouldn't want to be in a 200 million dollar production that will be seen by over 50 million people worldwide. He lost me with his antics. I know all actors pull them but I felt that was very disingenuous of him. Just IMO of course.
3 likesFans made all these memes of the Justice League, and they were good. Meant nothing more than the AOS crossover ones he's posted. He's always said he didn't want to abandon Arrow, you would know that if you knew more about the guy (not a personal attack, but it's pretty clear, honestly, you don't). He wanted to be in the movie from day one, but he said from back then too if that meant sacrificing the show, which is his life and love, then no. Criticising of his employers who he constantly thanks isn't a 'hissy fit,' and it's a fanboy mentality to think otherwise. He wasn't whining, his comments were valid.
I think you must have read my post wrong if you think he WOULDN'T want to be in that movie. He would be, but if it comes with such sacrifices, Arrow is really his life. I think you underestimate how much he loves it. It's all very well to have that opinion, but don't base it on such mentalities and mistaken notions is all. It's fine not to like the guy, but suggesting 'if it makes him cry that makes me happy' is a bit petty, don't you think?
1 likePerhaps it is a bit petty but that's just how I feel about the guy or how I perceived his behaviour. The image I was speaking about was an old Justice League cover with Green Arrow on it. It wasn't fanart, so he was obviously very interested in being in the film.

Or Black Manta
1 likeI newer saw him bound by any race. I mean, him being black or Asian or whatever, was newer quintessential to his story right?
As long it's a good actor, and Urban is a good actor, I'm up to it.1 likeYeah, actually the original version of Black Manta was specifically linked to his identity as an African-American. His original motivation was that he wanted to take over Atlantis so that "his people" had a safe place to live. It's really out-dated and culturally unfortunate. The origin story and his motivations have since been retconned, so I don't think the character is still bound by his ethnicity or the sociopolitical climate of 1960's America. At one point he was portrayed as being autistic, which was used to explain his motivations, but I believe that's also been retconned.
I'm a huge fan of removing the "Black" from his name and just calling him Manta. I hope they do that in the movies, or just avoid the character altogether and focus on Orm. At this point, they could even just combine Orm and Manta into one character, like Orm becomes Manta rather than becoming Ocean Master.
1 likeWow, I didn't know this.
Thanks for the info.
Honestly I started reading Aquaman since Geoff Johns Throne of Atlantis, so I wasn't aware of that.
And I always thought "Black" in his name was because of his color of the suit or because Manta rays are black.
I don't know if they could call him Manta because Marvel has a character going by that name.
Overall, I wouldn't fuse him and Orm because in that case we loose one proper villain in Aquaman movies, right?0 likesYeah, that character has a sordid cultural history. I sometimes think the character should just be retired completely. In the hands of a good writer, like Geoff Johns, the character can work well despite his cultural baggage.
I didn't realize Marvel already is using the name "Manta."
Honestly, at this point Orm and Manta are so similar, I wouldn't mind seeing them combined in the DCCU. Black Manta is definitely the only widely known Aquaman villain though, so that's probably reason enough to keep him around, even if it's just in name.
They could always make a joke out of it, like having Black Manta say something like, "Why do they have to call me 'black' Manta? Why can't I just be Manta?," but I was hoping they'd save that joke for Black Adam.

Yeah i saw him in The Flash serie, great serie like Gotham and Arrow. I'm glad that DCCU is completely different from MCU.
1 likeWith Lord and Miller working on the Flash movie, what are your thoughts on including Grodd?
Jonah Hill doing mo-cap in the role? It could have a lot of comedic possibility, as well as be a kickass villain or side villain.
1 likeWhy not Black Flash
2 likesHim too! I just think Grodd and Gorilla City could be incredible in a movie, if they did some Planet of the Apes style mo-cap.
Plus, I think Grodd would fit the Lord and Miller sensibility very well.
2 likesther is also Plastic who will make an appearance in the SS movie

It could work really well, for sure! Not sure who they'll use in the movie, in a way I hope for Cold or Grodd and not Reverse Flash (if they called him Zoom it'd be okay).

Holy shit, YES!!
Besides, Grodd is supposed to govern his own culture of super apes, in an Iland. How cool would it be if Gorilla City would end up being the place Oliver was stuck? :O
2 likesYes to this! And if Oliver meets up with Detective Chimp while stuck in Gorilla City, even better.

I said earlier - I don't see Green Arrow in DCCU.
I mean, where would they fit him? Justice League? Hell no. Maybe if he is gonna die in first 15 minutes of the movie.
Black Mask? Yeah, Okay. But enough with Batman villains.
We tend to forget that in couple of months Wonder Woman movie starts with shooting.
Or Flash. Since we see Eobard Thawn now in TV series, what about Hunter Zolomon?
Or Aquaman movie. Put him under water. :)

But the same could be said about Batman. Green Arrow definetly has a place to exist, and I really want him to be there if the JL is going to have this 'political' aspect it often has because he's the guy that is great at understanding both parts of an argument and working with it.
Besides, Identity Crisis!!

They've been so true to the comics so far I can see them having him go and rule over a colony or whatnot.

This ART looks great. Very similar to some of the comic book images that we all have seen. I like that both characters get their shots in! LET'S GET READY TO RUUMMBBLE!
P.S: I'm still never going to support eh maybe, he just hears things and runs with them consistently. Asa Butterfield is Spider-Man! Then multiple trade reporters say that other actors are still in the running. That's called lying eh maybe.

You keep saying that about him, yet he's broken several stories (admittedly and confirmed by other sources), and I'd say he's been right most of the time.
0 likes
He was wrong about Joe Manganiello. The actor even said he wasn't in talks for Deathstroke. No need to lie from his part since it already didn't work out. So bullshit.
He said there would be a Planet Hulk film while Ruffalo stated recently that Marvel can't even make another Hulk film without another studio, Universal, which has the rights to solo Hulk films. Pretty sure Universal has no interest and eh maybe never mentioned that deal-breaker, which means he doesn't know shit about the inner-workings of the studios. So bullshit.
Said that Bale would return as Batman. Bale later confirmed that he was never even approached. Again, no reason to lie from the actor's standpoint. So bullshit.
Said that Chris Pine would be Green Lantern TWICE. Back in 2009, it was bullshit. Thus far in 2015, it hasn't come true.
Said that Asa Butterfield has the role of Spider-Man. NOT confirmed. Multiple trades have said that other actors are still testing.
The guy makes shit up. At best, he just releases information without checking any real sources because he probably doesn't have any reliable ones. The trades have debunked him multiple times. Sure, he gets 1 out of 10 correct but that's not good enough for me. He has not been right most of the time. He has some promo art of Batman v Superman. Cool. I still wouldn't trust any of his "scoops." Check out Hollywood Reporter, they have real scoops every single day. Just my opinion of course. And no offense man, you can believe him if you'd like. :)
3 likesNo offense taken; I don't care that much. I'm just saying the nature of the business is rumor and hearsay. Just because Manganiello as DS or Bale as DCCU Batman didn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't talked about. Negotiations sometimes fall through at the very end; just because it didn't get solidified doesn't mean there was nothing to the rumor.
1 likePerhaps that's true, but like I said, I don't trust eh maybe. Never will again.

I can't tell you guys how many MCU turds I've debated with, who think that Fantastic Four will fail or sucks because it's by FOX. After seeing Age of Ultron, I'm almost convinced Disney would make my favorite villain, Doom into a joke. No. I'd rather have Doom in the hands of the company that made Magneto one of the best cinematic villains in history instead of the company that degraded Ultron. Dr. Doom belongs at FOX. Keep him the Hell away from the MCU!!

Well said. Honestly I much prefer the X-Men movies to the MCU ones but that's personal preference; but Marvel has a REALLY poor track record with villains in their movies and shows with only a couple of good ones. Fox has done a great job with theirs.

Agreed.
On another note, people suddenly think it's okay to bash the DC shows and their fans simply because they're not the movies on this safe haven which is our board? That's as bad as Marvel fanboying, just because we're getting awesome movies doesn't mean we turn on the awesome stuff we have being delivered to us weekly.

AOU shows how MOS affected Marvel. Critics bitched on Superman causing too much damage and not saving everybody (he did save everybody and Zod and the army did 97% of the damage) so they showed them evacuate the citizens. So DC has a profound affect on a lot of things but Guest is too dumb to see that
4 likes
But even if they didn't it wouldn't matter. They would come back to life in the other movies
1 likeRight, and not one person died in AoU, that just wouldn't happen! Hulk and Iron Man can fight and destroy so much shit and destroy cars with people in them, but no one dies because Joss Whedon is the risen Christ. P.S. Not a soul was lost in that purposeless "lifting up a city" bullshit, either. My favorite parts of AoU were when they blatantly wasted time advertising other movies. The fact that even critics who liked it didn't like it for the most part is pretty telling... But I won't talk much more about it, it left no taste in my mouth. It was a movie not even deserving of being called a movie. But then again, that's Disney and the MCU for you.

1 likeI love when I'm called "mad" by someone, and then the argument that's given in response to my statement is something I would liken to a belligerent child's retort.

Always good when you have actors/actresses doing their own stunts. Not only is it commitment, it's very ideal and makes for better fight scenes, particularly if you've got costumes like Wonder Woman's. Guys like Bats or Flash are okay because they're mostly covered- even the likes of GL, masks when it comes down to subtle editing are actually far more effective than we would think haha- but with ones like WW it's harder.
Can't wait to see Gal's take.

Yeah, they had an interview with her saying that she really likes doing her own stunts. I can't remember which video it was. She seemed excited about it, too.
