It’s really exists! This is a real life version of the Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series! This thing looks perfectly freakin’ awesome! There’s even a video of it in action that you can watch below! This is just so damn cool!It’s really exists! This is a real life versi
Before Henry Cavill landed the role of Superman in Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel, he auditioned for the part in McG‘s version of of the superhero, Superman: Flyby. The photo above is our first image of the actor auditioning for that movie back in 2004, and below you can get a better look at that very different suit design they were going to use.
That script for the film was written by J.J. Abrams, and it would have also starred Robert Downey Jr. as Lex Luthor. This would have been an interesting movie. It’s cool though that they actually ended up casting Cavill after all those years. He is really great in the role! Maybe the video of his screen test will surface soon.
Warner Bros. and Director Zack Snyder have cast Fast and Furious actress Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in Batman Vs. Superman. She will join Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck in the highly anticipated superhero film. It will be interesting to see how her character will fit in with these characters and the story.
Gadot definitely has a Wonder Woman type look and feel to her. She’s got the physique and that strong heroine jaw. I’m sure they will put her through a rigorous workout routine to prep her for the part, so she’ll end up looking a lot stronger by the time they start shooting. Snyder had this to say to Deadline about Gadot landing the role,
“Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.”
This upcoming film has been feeling more like a Justice League movie than a Batman and Superman movie. It is obviously going to set the stage for a Justice League movie. I wonder how many other characters they plan on adding to the mix.
What do you think about Gadot taking on the role of Wonder Woman?
In a few more months Zack Snyder will officially be starting production on Warner Bros’ Batman Vs. Superman film. There’s no solid story information on the film, but it’s looking like Henry Cavill‘s Superman will be facing off against Ben Affleck‘s Batman. In a recent interview with Total Film, Cavill talked about Affleck’s casting and explained why he thinks Affleck is good for the role.
“I’m sure he’ll be fantastic, above all else, and as a filmmaker he’s got his own style, you know, he’s not copying anyone else. And he’s also sort of been tenacious in his career. He’s had ups followed by downs and now he’s very up again and I think that requires and shows a very special strength of character, and it’s something I enjoy working with because jobs like this require a strength of character. They require a dedication to the work and a belief in oneself and Ben has that, clearly.”
I’m convinced that Affleck is going to be awesome as Batman, and I’m excited to see what he ends up doing with the character and how he makes it his own. The movie is set to be released on July 17th, 2015.
Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder are in the process of coming up with a title for their Man of Steel sequel, which everyone has been calling Batman Vs. Superman. Obviously, fans of the comics like the title World’s Finest, but it never seemed like that was going to happen.
According to Fusible, the studio has secretly registered several different titles for the film through the internet brand protection company MarkMonitor. Here are the possible titles…
Man of Steel Battle the Knight
Man of Steel Beyond Darkness
Man of Steel Black of Knight
Man of Steel Darkness Falls
Man of Steel Knight Falls
Man of Steel Shadow of the Night
Man of Steel The Blackest Hour
Man of Steel The Darknness Within
I don’t care what they call it as long as turns out to be a great movie. I liked Man of Steel, but the story and script had a lot of issues. Hopefully this next time around they have a better script that isn’t so disjointed.
So far the sequel stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, and Laurence Fishburne, and it hits theaters on July 17th, 2015.
Here is a video featuring the screen tests of Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. The screen tests, which come from the “The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector’s Edition,” also include commentary from Nolan. Both Hardy and Hathaway were awesome in their roles.
We already knew that The CW was planning to bring The Flash to the small screen. The original plan was to introduce the character in three episodes of Arrow before giving him his own series. Well now according to Deadline the network has changed that idea up a bit, and they are pushing a pilot episode forward for The Flash, which will star Grant Gustin in the title role.
The Flash would have appeared as Barry Allen in Arrow episodes 8, 9, and 20. The last one would have served as a backdoor pilot, which is being directed by David Nutter. Here’s an explanation of what the network is doing now, “Episodes 8 and 9, in which the superhero is introduced only as his alter ego Barry Allen, have already been shot. But now the CW has opted to film a traditional stand-alone Flash pilot instead of doing a backdoor pilot as Arrow‘s Episode 20. With Episodes 8 and 9 serving as an origin story, the plan was for The Flash character to make his debut — red costume and all — in Arrow‘s Episode 20. He will now do it in the pilot.”
Apparently The CW is very happy with what they saw of Barry Allen with Episode 8 and 9. Filming a stand-alone Flash pilot would allow them to better “flesh out the superhero’s story and his world on a bigger budget, as pilot budgets are significantly higher than episodic ones.” There’s no word on if The Flash will still appear in episode 20, but it doesn’t sound like it. Maybe they will reference him, though.
Barry Allen will be introduced in Arrow as “a Central City assistant police forensics investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. A comic book fanboy, Barry is obsessed with the Arrow unaware that working with Oliver and Felicity to solve the crime has brought him right into the dangerous world of the vigilante.”
Arrow has been a great series, and hopefully they can do the same thing with The Flash.
One of the largest complaints from fans about The CW’s hit series “Arrow” is that Oliver Queen doesn’t wear a mask when running around Starling City. Well good news folks, the “raccoon eyes” are no more! EW has revealed that Ollie’s trademark mask will be making its debut on Arrow this December and we’ve got the photo to prove it. Check it out below!
“Conceptually, it was something we wanted to do because Oliver himself is evolving as the Arrow– from vigilante to hero, sort of from Arrow to Green Arrow — and we wanted to see that progression in his costume as well,” said executive producer Andrew Kreisberg. “As Oliver is embracing being a hero, being a hero means stepping out of the dark and being more of a symbol, so he has to stake steps to conceal his identity more.”
Kreisberg also added: “It’s going to allow the Arrow to interact with people who don’t know his identity in a much more organic way than having him constantly keep his head down.”
Set to appear in the December 11th episode of “Arrow,” the mask won’t just appear out of thin air.
“He doesn’t just put on a mask. It’s actually a big plot point in an episode, and there really is a story behind, not only the need for the mask but also who provides him with it,” Kreiseberg said. “It’s going to be a little bit of a surprise, and once they see how the mask comes into creation, I think people will be really excited about it.”
We’ve already heard from former Batman Christian Bale once today, but he’s come out with one more tidbit that we can’t help but share. Speaking with MTV, Bale opened up about his infamous “Batman voice” from “The Dark Knight” trilogy that has been relentlessly mocked, criticized and parodied. Here’s what he had to say:
By now, you’ve probably heard about Batkid, the story that captured the entire nation on Friday. But in case you’ve been trapped in a rowboat at sea, or had taken a temporary vow of internet celibacy, let me fill you in: “Batkid” is actually 5-year-old Miles Scott of San Francisco, a Make-a-Wish Foundation recipient who has been battling leukemia since he was one year old and has recently gone into remission. On Friday, the city of San Francisco rallied around the little boy, whose wish was to fight crime with Batman, his favorite superhero. The whole city was in on it, with the local news doing a live broadcast alerting “Batkid” that there was trouble in Gotham City, setting off a chain event of crime-fighting for Batkid, who took off with Batman in two donated Lamborghinis dressed up to look like the Batmobile.
Over the course of the day, Batman and Batkid saved a woman tied up on the tracks of the iconic San Francisco cable car line, caught the Riddler as he was robbing a bank, and finished the day saving the San Francisco Giants’ mascot from the clutches of the Penguin. He was awarded the key to the city by the mayor and police chief, and was even given a shout-out by President Obama in one of his first ever Vine videos.
It wasn’t just normal folks who were captivated by the story of Batkid, either. Three former actors who have previously played the role of the Caped Crusader and the current actor holding down the fort also offered their support for the newest, pint-sized member of the Bat Family.
First up, Ben Affleck, who already knows Batkid will be a bigger deal than he could ever be:
Batkid. Best Batman ever. #SFBatKid #MakeAWish @SFWish
Original Batman Adam West also shared his thoughts on Twitter:
What a wonderful thing. Relieved that Gotham is safe again thanks to Miles. #SFBatkid #makeawish… http://fb.me/2vrobmfom
While most recent Batman Christian Bale was asked about it in a recent interview with Vulture and was moved:
I looked on the news and I saw this headline and thought, ‘What’s that?’ And I saw all the pictures of him running around and saving people. It’s so touching. What’s his name, Miles. He must have been bewildered! Hopefully, later on, he’ll be able to look back and say, ‘Oh my God, how amazing.’
And TMZ caught up with Michael Keaton, who was equally as charmed:
Somebody sent it to me. It’s the cutest thing in the world. Let’s not talk about Batman. Let’s talk about the kid. That’s such a cool thing. That’s such a sweet idea. I haven’t seen it. Somebody sent me the link, and I’ve got to check it out. I think it’s a cool idea.

It’s pretty amazing to see a city come together for once for a happy reason, rather than a tragedy. Think we can get Batkid to cameo in Batman vs. Superman? Someone, get Warner Bros. on the phone.
