The "Justice League" Line-Up Revealed?

A rumored line-up for the 2015 "Justice League" live-action film has been leaked online. It reveals that Henry Cavill's Superman and Ryan Reynolds's Green Lantern could actually appear in the upcoming planned DC Cinematic Universe after all.
It's been rumored for ages that there would be two split universes. One was the planned reboot "Batman" franchise and the upcoming "Man Of Steel" franchise and the other was going to just be based on the "Justice League". Now it seems that it could be all one universe.
Here's the line-up, courtesy of ComingSoon.net:
• Superman is essentially the same character from Man of Steel, and Zack Snyder is consulting regarding the writing of the character.
• Batman: The strategist of the group. Batman doesn't really want to be involved with these super powered beings he considers too powerful. Easily the most complex written.
• Wonder Woman: She has only been in man's world a few short months. The Wonder Woman script Michael Goldenberg is developing will be set before the Justice League movie. 
• Green Lantern: Will be Ryan Reynold's character from the Green Lantern movie, but will be freshly written with a more serious tone.
• Flash: The most popular hero in civilian eyes who loves media attention, but when called upon is very serious.
• Martian Manhunter: Alien who has lived on Earth in secret for over a hundred years who has knowledge of Darkseid and his reign. 
• Aquaman: Will be the King of Atlantis who has a key role in the film.
• There will also be a heavy military presence in the film which in future rewrites could include characters featured in Man of Steel or even Amanda Waller (Angela Bassett) of which neither are included in the first draft.
• Alfred Pennyworth is in the film in a minor appearance.
• Lois Lane is also in the film in a cameo.
• Darkseid's Elite will be featured who go up against the Justice League early on in the film.

The New "Man Of Steel" Trailer Has Arrived!

Now, the above screen-shots aren't all in the correct order. The ones where the Man Of Steel is in Iceland and is about to fly are all in order, even the ones when he does eventually fly are too. The others are kind of in order but only those ones and the scenes with him and Amy Adams's Lois Lane.
Well, what can I say about this new trailer.......................IT'S FUCKING AWWWWESOME!!! This trailer gives fans mega amounts of info on the new 2013 reboot. We finally see Henry Cavill in all his glory as the new Man Of Steel and flying. Previous teasers only showed us wide shots of a small CGI figure, whereas here we have close-ups of him flying around and boy is it amazing to see that both Cavill and director Zach Snyder have pulled it off brilliantly. By the looks of it, Superman will rise and fail in this film. It's like, he travels the world to see if it really needs a Superman and then Zod arrives, who is played by Michael Shannon and who is looking good even though we only get one shot of him, all hell breaks loose and the Last Son Of Krypton rises and dawns his nice new glamourised suit.
We see some touching moments of Clark and his mum, played by Diane Lane, both as a child and as an adult. There also seems like there's going to be a hell of a lot of action in this adaption of the long-running DC Comic book franchise. Snyder did promise lots of action, looks like he's kept to his promise.
All in this is such a powerful and moving trailer, much more powerful and moving than the last one. I actually had a tear in my eye when i saw Cavill slowly walk on the ice and fly up into the sky. It's such a magical shot. This truly shows fans that the Man Of Steel can and will be great again!!!
Here's the link to the new trailer over on YouTube: http://youtu.be/KVu3gS7iJu4

New "Man Of Steel" Poster Finally Revealed!

Finally, a new poster for Zach Snyder's "Man Of Steel" reboot has been released online for fans! It appears that Superman is under arrest, which is very interesting. Why would the man of steel be under arrest? And why isn't he breaking loose either? This is very interesting and I can't wait for the new trailer, which we will all see this month during the release of "The Hobbit-Part 1".

Pics Of Mysterious Archer From Upcoming Episode Of "Arrow"

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Playing The Next Batman After All And Snyder And Cavill Involved In "Justice League" Film Too?

Reports online are strongly suggesting that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in meetings over at Warner to star as the new Batman in their "Justice League" BIG-screen movie. It's been rumored for ages that Levitt could be the next Batman in either a direct sequel to Chris Nolan's film series or crossover and enter into the "Justice League" film universe when it begins in 2015. 
Online sites were suggesting that Warner were going to clean the slate and cast a brand new Batman for both the "Justice" universe and the solo Batman reboot series, but now that may not be the case after all. John Blake could be Batman rather than go back and re-create Bruce Wayne again. 
Fans, including me, didn't like the idea of two Batmen and the same going for Superman, two different Supermen on-screen. Maybe Warner have listened to fans and thought, "Fuck it, let's bring back Levitt and keep him as Batman from now on."...........well hopefully, because this is just a MASSIVE rumor. 
Zach Snyder did though let slip that he and his Superman, Henry Cavill, could be apart of the planned "Justice" film after all, rather than the split universe. I would rather see Cavill come back rather than two different actors playing the same hero on-screen.............POINTLESS!!! 
When Snyder was asked about his involvement in the "Justice" film, he said, 

"I can’t really say anything to that, because that’s a big spoiler. I will say, yeah, they trust me to keep them on course."
He also added,


"I don’t know how ‘Justice League’ is going to be handled. Honestly, I don’t, but ‘The Man of Steel’ exists, and Superman is in it. I don’t know how you’d move forward without acknowledging that."


UPDATE: Hollywood.com have reported that Gordon-Levitt's reps have denied the rumor of him appearing in the "Justice League" film as John Blake. Reps have denied things before and it's turned out true though.

The "Superman" Theme Tune Will Be Totally Different In New Film!

Zach Snyder has confirmed that the awesome and much loved "Superman" theme tune by the great John Williams will be totally re-written for the upcoming "Man Of Steel" reboot. Hans Zimmer will take control of all music for the new film and he's said to be doing "something awesome." Here's what Snyder had to say about the sudden change in music,

"We decided to act as if no Superman film had been made - even though we love the films that have been made. We had to say this is a Superman movie for the first time and you can't then go 'Oh, now let's steal a little music. So, yes it's awesome music but Hans Zimmer is going to do something awesome."

In a way I do have faith with Zimmer and the choice to go with this extremely bold move with the music. Zimmer has composed some amazing music, not just for "The Dark Knight" trilogy, but for "Inception", "Gladiator", "The Da Vinci Code", the list could go on.
Here's the link to John Williams original score: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGUyNy07ZYg

Holden McNeil To Direct "Justice League" Film?

So it looks like Warner are racing ahead to get a BIG-screen live-action "Justice League" film up and running again in time for it to go head-2-head with Marvel's "Avengers" sequel in around 2015ish. The minute Marvel announced that Joss Whedon was returning to direct "The Avengers 2", DC and Warner rushed in and announced that the long-awaited "Justice League" film was looking for a key director to get the superhero on the BIG-screens. The said that they are looking at Ben Affleck to take the rains of the big budget film.
Apparently now Affleck has gave Warner and big fat "NO!!!" to the project. Variety magazine confirmed this yesterday after the word broke out from Warner Bros. that this was in the planning. Affleck obviously just feels that he's not up for the challenge just yet, maybe some day though.
See what happens when a studio opens their big mouths and says something out loud without thinking about it first. Probably if they spoke to Affleck in a meeting instead of announcing it and him hearing it from someone else, then maybe he would have said "maybe"................silly Warner!
Warner haven't thought any of this through though. Yes they had the "Justice League" filming in development since like 2004/5, but nothing has ever really picked up. Marvel on the other hand have released film after film after film, leading up to the main event that was "Avengers Assemble" or "Marvel's The Avengers".
We had background stories from each character, they crossed-over to let each other be known to each other and get ready for the assemble. Warner and DC are just planning to dive right into a "Justice League" film with a new Batman, probably a new Green Lantern, a Wonder Woman, a Flash and well let's hope.......Henry Cavill and Zach Snyder's Superman, rather than some other guy who we know nothing about.
DC and Warner are planning to release all stand-alone character films after the "Justice League" film, which personally I think is kind of a big mistake! Let them be known to the fans first before throwing them into the deep end with new actors, Superman, Batman and Green Lantern and new looks. marvel worked hard and achieved so much, whereas DC could fail, but only time will tell.
