Major announcement rumoured for Batman/Superman team-up movie!

[Silver Nemesis]

Here's a manip of Caviezel in the TDKR cowl. I've always thought he was a dead ringer for the Neal Adams Bruce Wayne. And this image neatly illustrates the likeness.

Hopefully the cowl in the new movie will be better than the design from the Nolan films. I never liked the small gap around the mouth.

Incidentally, I didn't create this manip. It came from here: https://pt-br.facebook.com/pages/Jim-Caviezel-as-Batman/187374948020641?hc_location=timeline

Brolin would be ok, and I wouldn't sook if he were cast. But if I were in charge, I'd give it to Caviezel.

The only problems I have with these rumours of Batman being portrayed by an older actor is the long-term. Will any of these actors be comfortable or even fit enough to appear in a potential JL or Batman sequels? That's my concern.

The cowl in those films were indeed hideous. Bulky, pointy nose, a design that looks so compressed that Bale's mouth looks like it's bulging out... Hoping for a return to the original design in the Burton/Schumacher franchise.

Yep, same here. I hope WB aren't thinking short term here, strictly what they want for this movie.

On the same note, WB has had a boner for casting 20-somethings for ages now. I'm trying to figure out what makes this any different.

[BatmAngelus]

I will say that I think it's an odd decision to reboot the character by introducing him as an older, veteran Batman in his late 30s/early 40s, inspired by The Dark Knight Returns...

...when the last Batman film ended with an older, veteran Batman in his late 30s/early 40s, inspired by The Dark Knight Returns.

[The Dark Knight]

That's right, Angelus. I'm not sure what to think.

I can see Brolin in the role. That manip helps. He's well known but not too well known. He does fit the bill of an older, pissed off Batman. Though hopefully not on the verge of retirement ala Bale's Bat. Brolin also has the, I suppose humour and humanity of Bruce Wayne.

If he could do three or four films I'd be more accepting of this decision. But can he?

On the plus side, there would be no origin retread. Just references, ala B89, BR and such.

We'll see.

Brolin is perfect in every way!

Do you think Catwoman will put in an appearance? Does anyone know if she appears in the Batman vs. Superman books? I really need to take a look at them.

I don't if this should be taken with a grain of salt or not but according to this source, filming is beginning this weekend!

'Batman vs. Superman' football scene to shoot at East Los Angeles College this weekend

Let the games begin – Batman vs. Superman officially starts shooting this weekend! Last month we heard that extras were needed from an October 19th shoot in Los Angeles, but organizer Be In A Movie later announced that the scene may be cut and that they had to cancel. Now we know that the shoot in back on, thanks to the East Los Angeles College Campus News:

Warner Bros. Pictures new untitled Superman/Batman project comes to film at East Los Angeles College Weingart stadium during halftime of the Oct. 19 Husky football game.

ELAC and Victor Valley College will kickoff the game at 6:30 p.m. At halftime, the stadium will transform into Gotham City University home stadium.

Warner Bros. Pictures announced through a press release that Snyder and producers of the film are looking for people in the Los Angeles area, preferably ELAC students, to be extras for the upcoming film.

The stadium will be made into the backdrop for a football game between Gotham City University and rival Metropolis State University.

The first 2,000 people who sit in the filming area of the stadium will receive T-shirts designed by Snyder for those participating in the filming and prizes will be raffled throughout the night.

The crowd will sport Gotham Citys colors, black and gold.

The film will shoot three takes of three plays during halftime. The crew will be capturing the actors and crowd's reactions.

ELAC's College event and Venue Coordinator, Ernest Burnett, said that the filming will be about 20 minutes during halftime. The second half of ELAC's game will follow the film shoot.

Snyder decided to use ELAC's stadium to support ELAC and the community.

"They could have done this on a night when we didn't have a home game. They wanted to support the school," Burnett said.

This is exciting news and confirms that Gotham City will definitely have a role in the Man of Steel sequel. If you're in the Los Angeles area and are able to attend this weekend, take pictures if you can (and send them in)! Lets just hope that Bane doesn't show up at this football game...

Yet another football stadium scene. Though what are the odds that this is just false?
