Exclusive: The nearly decade-long wait is over, DC fansBY ANTHONY BREZNICAN@BREZNICAN

[h=2]Justice League[/h]

Posted February 22 2016 — 10:00 AM EST

Zack Snyder’s Justice LeaguePart 1 is officially a go at Warner Bros. and will begin filming on April 11, a little over two weeks after the release of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the director and studio tell EW.The legal maxim, “Justice delayed is justice denied” wasn’t meant to apply to superhero films, but the epic wait is finally over for DC fans.

“The idea that we could begin to boot up a Justice League concept was a cool thing,” says Snyder, who also directed 2013’s Man of Steel and has become one of the key figures in shaping DC’s connected film universe.
“It was a little bit of an ‘about time’ moment, and I don’t blame [the studio] for feeling that way, because it’s a long time coming,” he said. “But I do feel like it’s a little bit of a creative hurdle. It seems like an easy thing to do at first glance, the idea that, ‘Oh, we just get the rest of the superheroes in there.’ But you have to [establish] a world where they can exist.”
Dawn of Justice, which hits theaters March 25, focuses on a clash between Superman (played again by Henry Cavill) and a new Batman/Bruce Wayne, portrayed by Ben Affleck, who is seething with rage toward the Kryptonian over the destruction unleashed on Metropolis in Man of Steel. The film also features a major role for Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot), which is — astoundingly — the first time the character has appeared in a live-action feature film in her 75-year history.
Other famous DC characters also make brief appearances in that movie— Ezra Miller as the Flash, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg — but while Batman and Superman battle it out in the main storyline, those are cameos that mainly lay groundwork for a broader universe in Justice League.

Fans can be forgiven for wondering if they’d ever really get to see all of DC’s heroes on one side. But this time, there’s no doubt. It’s happening, and Snyder is currently in the U.K. prepping for the start.
A previous Justice League movie was planned in 2007, with Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller at the helm, and many of the main characters had been cast: Armie Hammer as Batman, D.J. Catrona as Superman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Common as Green Lantern, and Adam Brody as the Flash. Then the project collapsed due to the 2007-08 Writers Guild strike when the script wasn’t ready in time to begin principal photography and many of the deals lapsed.
Wonder Woman was also supposed to get her own feature back in 2005 when Joss Whedon was developing a story that he planned to write and direct, but that project also notoriously never came to fruition. Finally, Diana Prince’s Amazonian alter-ego will get a stand-alone in between Batman v. Superman and Justice League.
Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster) and starring Gadot, is currently shooting and will be released on June 23, 2017. That film will be followed up just a few months later by Snyder’sJustice League, which will debut Nov. 17, 2017.
In the meantime, on Aug. 5 we’ll be getting DC’s Suicide Squad from writer-director David Ayer, with Jared Leto as the Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, among many others.
Justice League will shoot at the Warner Bros. Leavesden studios in southeast England, as well as various locations around London and in Iceland. While this film is being designated Part 1, the follow-up installment, which will shoot separately, is already on the studio’s release schedule for 2019, following standalone movies for The Flash and Aquaman (both planned for 2018).
After Justice League — Part 2, Warner Bros. has plans for a Cyborgmovie with Fisher, and a new take on Green Lantern, although an actor for that role hasn’t been revealed yet and those movies, set for somewhere in 2020, haven’t been given release dates.
There may also be other DC movies that turn up in the meantime, according to Warner Bros. A Ben Affleck-directed Batman movie is one possibility.
Dwayne Johnson has tweeted about playing the villain Black Adam in a Warner Bros./New Line production of DC’s Shazam, and that movie has been announced by the studio for 2019, but it’s not clear whether it’s part of the same narrartive as the other movies.
While three years passed between the release Man of Steel andBatman v. Superman, that was mainly because the various creative teams were mapping out so many interlocked stories. “The studio really wants us to try and pace it up, as far as —now we have an idea where we’re going,” Snyder says.http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/2...1?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter

Chris Terrio wrote the screenplay for Justice League, which will be released in two parts by Warner Bros. It is produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder.

Justice League: Part One will start shooting in mid-April and is set to hit theaters on Nov. 17, 2017, while Part Two is slated for release on June 14, 2019. Warner Bros.' next DC film is Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which will bow March 25.
The DC Comics character Commissioner James Gordon has been played by a slew of actors over the years, including Lyle Talbot in the 1949 series Batman and Robin, Neil Hamilton in the TV series Batman in the 1960s, Pat Hingle in the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batman moviefranchise and, most recently, by Gary Oldman in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight films. The character is an integral part of the Batman literary mythos and is the lead character in Gotham, Fox's take on Gordon's early days, where he is played by Ben McKenzie.
Simmons is already a familiar face in the superhero world as he played publisher J. Jonah Jameson in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies.
Simmons has been very busy since winning the best supporting actor Oscar for Whiplash in 2015. He is reteaming with ****** Chazelle for the musical La La Land, and he voices a character in the just-released animated hit film Zootopia.

[h=1]The Top 20 Things I Learned From Visiting The Set Of &#8216;Justice League&#8217;[/h] by Umberto Gonzalez on June 21, 2016



Last week I got the fanboy call of a lifetime. I was asked if I would like to participate with other journos and visit the set of Justice League currently shooting in England. I not only said yes, I leaped at the opportunity and said HELL YES! You see, I have never crossed the Atlantic ocean in my life, let alone visit the UK.
I also recognized the significance of getting asked to visit the set of Justice League after launchingHeroic Hollywood a year ago this month. It&#8217;s the site&#8217;s first official set visit.
Back in 1986 as a 12 year old fanboy growing up in Flushing, New York I practically lived inside Mike&#8217;s Comic Hut. That spring Frank Miller&#8217;s The Dark Knight Returns was released and changed comic books forever. Thirty years later, I&#8217;m on a plane to London to meet Batman and the rest of the Justice League. Surreal to say the least.
Myself and other journos left the States on Wednesday, we arrived in London on Thursday, and got on the bus Friday morning to visit Warner Brothers Leavesden Studios in Southeastern England where Justice League is shooting. Our set visit occurred on day 31 of 111 of the production schedule.
The gist of the set visit went down like this &#8211; we entered &#8216;The War Room&#8217; where they showed us all sorts or cool concept art and props, then the costume department where costume designer Michael Wilkinson showed us updated costumes for Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg. We then saw multiple sets including Batman&#8217;s new hangar, we witnessed the filming on set of a rooftop scene in Gotham City, then we went back to the War Room where director Zack Snyder showed us a really cool scene from the film.
There is a lot of ground to cover so let&#8217;s get cracking. Heroic Hollywood readers want the scoop and that is exactly what my mission was &#8211; to get it for you guys.
 
The Top 20 Things I Learned From Visiting The Set Of &#8216;Justice League&#8217;

by Umberto Gonzalez on June 21, 2016


1) Justice League Official Synopsis

The official synopsis for Justice League was released to accompany our set visit pieces and is as follows&#8230;.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman&#8217;s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes&#8212;Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash&#8212;it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Directed by Zack Snyder, this marks the big screen debut of the Justice League, featuring an all-star lineup: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher.

2) Opening Prologue Confirmed

Last month, we reported Darkseid&#8217;s role in Justice League that occurs in the opening prologue. 30,000 years ago Ancient Man, the Amazonians, and the Atlanteans fought off Darkseid who left behind three motherboxes. We saw concept art in The War Room of Ancient Man, The Atlanteans, and The Amazonians. It looked pretty damn cool. We also saw the three motherboxes as props on a table &#8211; one Atlantean, one Amazonian, and one belonging to Ancient Man. One motherbox is oxblood red, another beige, and the other off white. We also saw concept artwork on how the Atlanteans protect their motherbox in an Atlantean structure along with artwork of an Amazonian structure which houses the Amazonian motherbox. The motherboxes kind of remind me of the Lament Configuration puzzle box from the Hellraiser series.

3) Steppenwolf Is Indeed The Villain

Inside the War Room we saw a darkened outline of what Steppenwolf will look like in the film which is still being finalized. Steppenwolf will sport a totally different look than what was previously seen from the deleted Communion scene above from Batman v Superman. Having seen the motherboxes in person, they don&#8217;t look anything like the Communion scene either.

4) Willem Dafoe is playing Atlantean Vulko.

It&#8217;s now official, actor Willem Dafoe is playing Atlantean Vulko. We saw concept art of what Dafoe will look like in character as Vulko. For those not familiar with Vulko, according to Comics Vine
Nuidis Vulko was the the royal advisor to Aquaman. He was one of the leaders of Atlantis&#8217; scientific community, and several times ruled Atlantis in Aquaman&#8217;s absence. When Aquaman left the throne to live among the surface dweller&#8217;s, it was Vulko that was left to deal with the backlash of Arthur&#8217;s attempts to bring the Atlanteans out of isolation from the surface world.

5) Batman Will Have More Than One Batsuit

Batman in Justice League will sport his classic Batsuit. However, Bruce Wayne is constantly tweaking the batsuit with new tech and making it better. The suit will feature new armor plates under mesh and new Waynetech gauntlets. However, we also learned that Bruce Wayne is also working on a tactical Batsuit which will feature a new cowl, new tech, new goggles, and a new cape. We saw a really cool Justice League group picture of Batman in his tactical suit in the War Room. Since Batman&#8217;s foes are out of this world, it is only fitting he gears up to battle Steppenwolf&#8217;s minions &#8211; mainly the Parademons. Speaking of Parademons, we saw concept art in the War Room of two different Parademons.

6) Ben Affleck Finally Confirms He Is Directing The Standalone Batman Movie

In between setups of the Gotham rooftop scene, Ben Affleck came up to the group of journos and answered a few questions and for the first time mentioned he is directing the Batman film.
Q: This time around, you&#8217;re an executive producer on this. How does that change you and your role, like ownership on Batman?
AFFLECK: Why I&#8217;m an executive producer is that I&#8217;m directing one of the movies. So there&#8217;s sort of this cross pollination of story and characters and I don&#8217;t want to give any of that stuff away, but it basically means that there are some things that might happen in my Batman that are affected by I mean, here we are in the police station in Gotham city. There&#8217;s a potential that something like this might exist in that story. So it&#8217;s a creative way that DC came up with of kind of being a filmmaker-driven company and entity and also making sure that the right hand knows what the left hand is doing and so that there&#8217;s collaboration and supervision. So that somebody doesn&#8217;t go sailing off, causing problems for your movie with their movie. You know, in a way, it&#8217; also a kind of a courtesy. You know what they&#8217;re doing, one hand knows what the other is doing, and I get to weigh in on stuff that impacts the Batman stuff.
Q: Is Batman doing the detective work as kind of his part in this movie, or is he working with a team of detectives?
AFFLECK: It&#8217;s definitely, the world&#8217;s greatest detective aspect of Batman is more present in this story than it was in the last one, and will probably be expanded upon further in a Batman movie that I would do. I think all the great Batman stories are, at their heart, detective stories. That&#8217;s why they feel like noir movies in a way. Somehow feels like it could be The Maltese Falcon. But at their heart good Batman stories are, like I said, detective stories. And with detective stories, there&#8217;s a &#8220;what&#8217;s happening&#8221; element, but there&#8217;s also a, &#8220;how do I find these people and bring them together? How are we going to work together successfully?&#8221; Sort of a multilateralist &#8211;
Q: A lot of people are looking forward to your perspective in a solo Batman movie, do you have a timeframe as to when you might want to see it in theaters?
AFFLECK: I think they have a date for it. Although, I don&#8217;t know if I would necessarily be able to make that date because I don&#8217;t have a script that&#8217;s ready yet. So that&#8217;s my, my timetable is I&#8217;m not going to make a movie until there&#8217;s a script that I think is good because I&#8217;ve been on the end of the things when you make movies when you have a script that&#8217;s not good yet and it doesn&#8217;t pan out. [laughs]
Q: Can I ask where you are in the scripting process? Do you have a draft that you&#8217;re really happy with or a story that you&#8217;re really happy with but you just need to flesh it out further?
AFFLECK: I have a script, we&#8217;re still working on it, and I&#8217;m not happy enough with it yet to actually go out there and make a Batman movie, for which I have the highest of standards, I would say. That&#8217;s something that would have to pass a very high bar for me. It&#8217;s not just like, &#8220;yeah, that might be fun, let&#8217;s go try this out.&#8221;

7) Justice League Is A Story About Redemption

Ben Affleck also addressed some of Batman&#8217;s darker aspects from Batman v Superman.
Q; Is there any conflict in this one regarding Batman&#8217;s tactics? Because one of the conflicts of the last movie was that Batman was, I wouldn&#8217;t want to say sadistic, but he was very violent and he killed if he had to.
AFFLECK: Yeah, in the last movie, Batman definitely went to a very dark place that was rooted in trauma that occurred to people that he loved and worked with and what he saw. This movie is not about that issue for him so much anymore, he&#8217;s no longer sort of extreme in that way. From the experiences of the last movie, he&#8217;s sort of learned and now he&#8217;s sort of &#8211; I&#8217;m trying to say it without giving away any spoilers &#8211; but he&#8217;s wanting to redeem himself and wanting mankind to be redeemed and he&#8217;s wanting to make the world better. Having learned lessons that were important in the last movie.

8) The Batmobile Gets an Upgrade & Weaponized

The above picture of the Batmobile is from the Justice League set. It&#8217;s still the same car, however it is becoming more and more like a tank, same vehicle, more weaponry, more choreography.

9) Batman Works Out Of A Massive Hangar

Although the above picture is not what the actual hangar looks like in Justice League, it&#8217;s sort of close. In the previous picture of the Batmobile, it was taken from the hangar so you can get an idea of what it will look like. Batman keeps his tools, computers and Batmobile there. It&#8217;s also a place where he works on his new Bat tech which brings us to&#8230;



Inside-Tank.jpg

10) New Bat Tech &#8211; The KnightCrawler & Flying Fox

One of the coolest things from the War Room is seeing concept art for the Knightcrawler and Flying Fox. Created by Wayne for the military a long time ago, the Knightcrawler can crawl on the ground like a tank and then transform into a spider crawl. The Flying Fox is how Batman transports the other Justice League team members around. The Flying Fox can also fit a vehicle in it so Batman can bring the Batmobile onto the Flying Fox. On one of the sets, they built the cockpit practically of the Flying Fox and we took a peak inside of it. Really Cool.

11) The Flash Suit Gets An Upgrade From WayneTech

Barry Allen’s (played by Ezra Miller) Flash suit is getting an upgrade and contains 148 pieces! There are 70 pieces in the headpiece alone. The suit looks really cool and wait till you guys get a peak at his Flash sneakers! Definitely copping a pair if they ever mass produce them.
mgid-ao-image-mtv.jpg
12) Ezra Miller Brings Much Needed Comic Relief To Justice League

One of the biggest surprises of the set visit was seeing Ezra Miller in action as The Flash. He’s both hilarious and charming as Barry Allen. We see him in action on the rooftop scene in Gotham with Batman, Wonder Woman, Commissioner Gordon, and he makes a comedic exit in that particular scene. Later on, when director Zack Snyder shows us a scene from Barry Allen’s apartment, Ezra is pure comedic gold. It wouldn’t surprise me if Ezra is the standout in Justice League. 13) The Flash & Cyborg Have A Good Camaraderie

If the rumors I’m hearing are true that the standalone Flash movie will feature Cyborg, then these two will be off to a solid start in Justice League. In between setups, Ray Fisher spoke with us about how he got the part of Cyborg before being interrupted by Ezra Miller. Here is how it went down.
Q: So, can you tell us a little bit about how you won the role of Cyborg? FISHER: I can, yeah. I was doing a play off Broadway back in 2013 – Flash shows up. EZRA MILLER: Hi, how you doing? FISHER: I was regaling them of how I came to be. MILLER: No, no no don’t do that. You’re doing origin stories? You’re not supposed to give them origin stories! FISHER: No, an origin story of how I, as a person, came to be. [laughs] MILLER: Get outta here, man. FISHER: You guys know Ezra, right? I was in a play off Broadway playing Muhammad Ali at the New York Theatre Workshop three years ago now. And around the time, Ang Lee, one of his upcoming projects was a 3D boxing movie about Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and he came and saw the show at that time. And I hadn’t had an agent or a manager up until that point, but once people caught word of that, they started coming to the show to see who’s this guy that people are coming to look at and from there I signed up and went out to California for a visit and met up with Lord Kennedy and Kristy Carlson from Warner Brothers and they said, “we have something that may be right for you, but we can’t tell you what it is. It’s just in the real of the Batman/Superman universe.” And I was like, “I’m done, I’m done. Sign me up. I’ll play a tree.” MILLER: And now he’s playing a tree. [laughs] FISHER: And now I’m playing a tree, they’re just going to CGI it around. MILLER: You have to be really careful what you say in those meetings. [laughs] FISHER: But yeah and from there, I just put something on tape for Zack while I was in New York. And we went out to Detroit and tested and it just sort of fell into place very quickly and I’m extremely grateful that it did. Coming up in the theatre and grinding for ten years, trying to make the ends meet. It was a pretty sweet payoff. Q: The last movie, Batman and Superman didn’t really get along that well. But it appears that Cyborg and Flash are hitting it off. Is that only behind the scenes? MILLER: We cannot confirm or deny anything regarding any people named silly names like the ones you just – I don’t even know, what did you say? [laughs] FISHER: I don’t even know who these characters are, I’ve never heard of them. MILLER: I need to run this scene with you. FISHER: Which one? MILLER: The one we’re doing. FISHER: The dance solo? The tap dance number? MILLER: We need to run our routine. FISHER: Okay, sweet. MILLER: Forgive us, guys. We need to run our routine. FISHER: Which routine are we running? MILLER: The dance routine. ASSISTANT: The one on the rooftop. FISHER: Oh, we’re actually running the routine. MILLER: Yeah. FISHER: I’ll be back then, I guess. Thank you guys. Did they send you over for me? MILLER: Yeah, yeah yeah. FISHER: You sort of pinched me on the butt. MILLER: No, because I told them, “we can do it by ourselves!” And they were like fine, Ezra, go get ready. FISHER: “We don’t need the Cyborg!” MILLER: Bring him whatever drink he wants and then get him to set. FISHER: Just put a cardboard cutout and CG it.​

14) Cyborg’s Suit

Cyborg’s Suit is Apokoliptic in its technology and will feature a gun arm. The suit will also feature a civilian mode where he is covered up in a track suit and hoodie for getting around civilians. 15) Junkie XL Returns To Score Justice League

One of my favorite things from Batman v Superman was the soundtrack, especially the track, “Is She with you?” We learned on the set visit that Junkie XL will return to score Justice League.

16) The Wonder Woman Standalone Film Is A Coming Of Age Story

In between setups, Gal Gadot came to speak to us briefly and had this to say about the evolution of her character in the films.
Q: How different is this Wonder Woman from Batman v. Superman vs. the Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman? GADOT: [laughs] She’s kind of bipolar. No – the Wonder Woman we see in the Justice League is similar to the Wonder Woman that we saw on BvS. The Wonder Woman that you will see on the solo movie, she’s different. It’s the coming of age story, it’s about her become an adult, really. From a child to an adult. And understanding the complexities of life.

17) Aquaman Wears Jeans Above Surface & Has A Strong Personality

Back in the War Room, we saw concept art of Aquaman when he is above water on the surface. He sports a pair of slim fit dark denim wash jeans with no shirt on. I’m sure the ladies are going to dig that one. Executive Producer Ben Affleck had the following to say about Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.
Q: Well, Batman is sort of the leader of the group, is there any kind of challenge from the other members to his leadership? I mean, Aquaman’s a king, I can’t imagine him taking orders from another character would go over very well.
AFFLECK: You know, Aquaman’s a very strong character, played by a very strong actor with a very strong personality, so I don’t think he’s the sort of guy who at any point in his life takes orders from people. Jason Momoa, he’s got a very strong, stubborn, independent, powerful energy. So it’s not like any of these characters show up and immediately go like, “yes sir, what should I do, Mr. Wayne?” It’s about like trying to get a lot of disparate people who are used to being very powerful and independent to try to work together. And it’s about how hard it is for them to all get along. And there are some characters who really hit it off with each other, some that don’t hit it off with each other, almost come to blows, and it’s about trying to contain that. So it’s not an easy ride trying to get this group to come together.

18) An Abandoned Tunnel Connects Gotham to Metropolis

One of the big set pieces of the movie is an abandoned tunnel that connects Gotham City and Metropolis and is supposedly being used as a nest by the Parademons.

19) Gotham Rooftop Scene

During the set visit, we witnessed the filming of J.K. Simmons Commissioner Gordon’s first day on set. Simmons looks amazing as Gordon. In the scene, Gordon uses the Bat Signal to call Batman. Batman arrives with Wonder Woman and The Flash. Gordon hands Batman what seems like a newspaper. Apparently scientists are being kidnapped by Parademons in both Gotham City and Metropolis. Here is a preview:
Gordon: How many of you are there?
Batman: Not enough.
Gordon: Dozens of witnesses all over Gotham. Descriptions matches suspects in the Metropolis abductions.
Batman: Bad guys. Flying Monkeys.
Cyborg enters the scene…Wonder Woman smiles at Cyborg. An acknowledgement.
Cyborg: The Head Of Star Labs was taken tonight.
There is a cool line that follows which we won’t spoil but Batman, Cyborg, and Wonder Woman exit the scene. The Flash says something funny to Gordon before leaving.

20) Barry Allen’s Apartment Scene

At the end of the set visit, we returned to the War Room where we were shown an unfinished scene by Zack Snyder on the monitor. In the scene, Barry Allen returns to his apartment to discover Bruce Wayne already waiting. Bruce has a printout from the convenience store scene seen previously in Batman v Superman. Barry in a funny way denies that it is him and then Bruce throws a batarang past Barry. Barry then slows down time and watches the batarang fly past him in slow motion. Barry catches the batarang and is shocked that the Batman is standing before him. Bruce tells Barry that he is putting a team together and Barry willingly joins because he needs friends. The scene shows Ezra Miller’s comedic range as Barry. http://heroichollywood.com/top-things-learned-visiting-set-justice-league/

Doesn't look very good in my opinion. I wish Batman would only be in his own movies and not in movies like this. He deserves better.

Once again you show how far in the minority you really are. So Marvel Studios can do what they want but WB can't? Doesn't work that way. Thank god they don't have to please everyone.
 
As someone who hated Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman. This looks promising

I didn't hate it, but the script just needed one more draft and don't get me started on the whole Martha thing :hysterical:

To each their own on MOS but did you watch the Ultimate Edition of BvS? Ppl who hated the Theatrical Cut have flipped their opinions thanks to the Ultimate Edition that WB were nervous about releasing in theaters (it being a 3 hour film).

I agree it made a lot more sense watching the Ultimate Edition. Also from watching the extras.......you get a better understanding what they are planning for the DC franchise.
 
IMO, there should have been more movies for at least few more characters before making them all get together. Something that took Marvel some time to do they try to do in 2 years. They are in a hurry, I guess.

It's still a bit disappointing for me that they couldn&#8217;t &#8220;connect&#8221; The Dark Knight trilogy with the Man of Steal movie (2013). Although it is a very old story, it all would make more sense now, IMO.

Connecting Nolan's DARK KNIGHT Trilogy would of been a TERRIBLE idea. It would destroy the realistic tone that Nolan created for his Batman world. Plus the hand to hand combat in Nolan's Trilogy wasn't all that great. The chase scenes were though. If Bale's Batman fought in the DCEU the way he fought in Nolan's Trilogy, he would have his ass handed to him several times over. Plus WB weren't gonna risk pissing off Nolan. He's brought in BILLIONS of dollars for them with all the films combined that he's done for them plus all of them were critically acclaimed. It would be like if you got to have a hot girlfriend or boyfriend. You share so much in common and love each other. Do you really wanna risk f*****g up that relationship by going behind their back?! I disagree. The reason why Marvel did it the way they did is cus not all of THEIR characters were A-List characters. You are aware Marvel rushed out IRON MAN 2 and it didn't live up to the first film. Even the third film didn't either.

Well, the way it was made I agree with you. But if it was planned from the very beginning to connect it, I guess there could be great result! A lot of things would surprise us, IMO.

Well, I still disagree and even so, Nolan wouldn't have been up for that anyways. i'm happy that Affleck is Batman now. Nolan did his thing and has moved on. Think you should do the same. This is the DCEU we have and Geoff Johns is overseeing ALL the films from here on out starting with WONDER WOMAN (which he co-wrote the script to and he's been on the set of JUSTICE LEAGUE too).
 
I hope Amber Heard doesn't stink it up like she did Magic Mike 2 :8-25-03pray:

Let's not single her out. The film's problems were mainly when they were trying to go for the more emotional stuff. Also sometimes, NOT always, but SOMETIMES, an actor not giving a good performance is not always the actor's fault. Natalie Portman was terrible in the STAR WARS prequels cus George Lucas doesn't know how to write good scripts. Then she did BLACK SWAN and won an oscar.
 
Zack Snyder (in honor of Batman Day yesterday) tweeted a pic of him first next to the bat signal and then tweeted our first look of J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon next to the bat signal as well!!
