GOYER SAYS SUPERMANBATMAN MOVIE IS ALREADY FURTHER ALONG THEN MOST PEOPLE THINK!

News has been slowly trickling out from David Goyer, who was at the BAFTAs this week regarding his work in the DC Universe. He has talked on a wide range of topics, from Man Of Steel’s ending, Justice League, and his work with Christopher Nolan on The Dark Knight Trilogy. However, there is one topic that hasn’t been touched on all that much yet, the much anticipated Superman/Batman movie.
The Associated Press got a chance to chat with Goyer a little bit where he said that they are a little bit further along than what people probably realize. He also touched on whether or not fan backlash effects what they do. “One of the things that has been fun for us, is we’re a bit a further a long than what I think people realize,” he expained. “From a fan point of view, we’re conscious of that when you’re working on these things, but you can’t let yourself be paralyzed by that. At the end of the day you still have to creat something. And if you try and think, ‘Well what would the fans like’ then you stop being creative. It’s sort of like where does it end? You have to write the story that you want to write, and hope that people want to see it.”
What about the famed question, who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman? Goyer is remaining tight lipped on his opinion for fear that it might tip his hand, saying we’ll have to wait for a year and a half when the film comes out. However, he did offer this bit up, “Most comic book purest would says Batman because he is the ultimate strategist. Even though it makes no sense what so ever. If Superman just flicked his finger Batman would be done for.” So who do you have in a fight between the characters? Leave a comment in the boxes below on who you think would come out on top. As always make sure to check back here at Comic Book Therapy for the latest on Superman/Batman.

 

COMIC FLASHBACK FRIDAY! BEARDED BRUCE WAYNE BANE VENOM SAGA!

Michelle trachtenberg as Jean Grey or rachel summers in XMEN days of future past!

 MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG IN ‘DAYS OF FUTURE PAST’?

may2 2013 · by andrew · in Crew Talk, Rumors, X-Men: Days Of Future Past. ·

Time to speculate!

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST director, Bryan Singer recently started following“Buffy” and “Gossip Girl” actress, Michelle Trachtenberg on Twitter. Trachtenbergreturned the favor, following him as well. On April 11th, she tweeted her fans about getting a new red hair color; she didn’t give the reason for the change.

This could be a random coincidence, but fans are wondering if Trachtenberg’s dye-job is connected to her being involved with Singer’s film. Likely character choices would include a young Jean Grey in the 70′s or Rachel Summers, Cyclops and Jean’s daughter from an alternate future timeline, who appears in the original DOFP comic.

Thanks to Angamb for the scoop, and @X4Campaign for the heads up!

Armie Hammer To Star With Tom Cruise In THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E

Deadline report that the Lone Ranger actor will join Tom Cruise in the upcoming big screen reboot of the classic tv series, which Guy Ritchie will direct for Warner Bros. Read on for more info..

- 4/24/2013

The Man From U.N.C.L.E has been knocking around at Warner Bros. for a long time now, and was originally set to star George Clooney and be directed by Steven Soderbergh until the actor was forced to drop out because of neck surgery. A while ago it was announced that Sherlock Holmes helmer Guy Ritchie was on board to direct, and Tom Cruise was in talks to star. Now Deadline report that it's a done deal, and joining him will be The Lone Ranger himself, Armie Hammer. The original TV series ran from 1964-68, and starred Robert Vaughan and David McCallum as agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement, Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin as they battled the evil forces of "Thrush" (sounds nasty). Apparently Hammer would play a version of the role originated by McCallum. 

Twitter RUMORS: JUSTICE LEAGUE Moved To 2016? But will STILL BE RELEASED BEFORE ANY SOLO MOVIES! GREEN LANTERN 2 AFTER JL to be directed by Joseph Kosinksi!? BATMAN REBOOT MAN OF STEEL 2 in2017!

Another bunch of Twitter rumors have hit the web, this time focussing on the release date of DC's huge blockbuster Justice League read on for details!Rumor Number 1: Green Lantern 2 to be directed by TRON: Legacy helmer Joseph Kosinski.
Not having much to say on this rumor, apparently the director has been contacted by WB to meet about a future DC Comic film, while many think it could be The Flash , one person has said it is for a sequel to Green Lantern, Kosinski's visual effect history would be a great fit for Green Lantern

Rumor Number 2: Justice League leaves 2015's crowded schedule??
HopefullyThis rumor is FALSE but in a year (2015) that is filled with huge blockbuster releases like Avengers 2, Star Wars Episode 7,   Fantastic Four and Ant-Man it is concievabley that DC could possibly  sit this one out,(HOPEFULLY NOT!) but in a year with no releases slated, DC have apparently(rumor has it)  worked on a idea to have Justice League released in 2016 a year after Avengers 2 . Hopefully this rumor doesnt  pan out! WB Make that 2015 realease its Still two years  away and were only in the second quarter of 2013! but again at Least JLA is still ago before any solo films! in even more tidbit our buddy Matt from the awesome cosmicbook news has dropped this little nugget " 2017 is a "World's Finest" year of Man of Steel 2 and The Batman.

• "Expect movies every year after Justice League"    its gonna be an awesome year to be a DC FAN!

MICHAEL BAY'S MOVIE IS NOW CALLED "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES"

With the Original News of a new TMNT reboot by Michael Bay, it was said that the "teenage mutant" aspects of the famous reptiles was being dropped in favor of an alien origin for "Ninja Turtles."

Well, it turns out that doesn't seem to be the case as Paramount apparently debuted a new logo at CinemaConthat read "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Paramount, Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman may have seen the light of day as the online response has been overwhelmingly negative.

Now it turns out that the script has apparently been re-written as well by Evan Daugherty, which might help explain things. No plot details are known and the movie has already begun filming; Bay is on as producer and the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turlets" has a Summer 2014 release.

Megan Fox will play April O'Neil, with Danny Woodburn as Splinter, Will Arnett has an unknown role, and rounding out the cast of the Turtles are Alan Ritchson, PetePloszek, Jeremy Howard and Noel Fisher.

JUSTICE LEAUGE FLASHPOINT! CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT!

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE FLASHPOINT PARADOX Details

Michael B. Jordan confirmed as Cyborg, Cary Elwes as Aquaman, Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Justin Chambers as Flash and Kevin McKidd as post-Flashpoint Batman. Full voice-cast within! Andrew francis4/16/2013

Via Tv Guide, The full cast for the film has been revealed and is as follows: Kevin Conroy as Batman Kevin McKidd as post-Flashpoint Batman Michael B. Jordan as Cyborg Cary Elwes as Aquaman Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Justin Chambers as Flash C. Thomas Howell as Professor Zoom Sam Daly as Superman Ron Perlman as Slade Wilson Danny Huston as General Lane Dana Delany as Lois Lane

The film is based on the 2011 DC Comics limited series, Flashpoint, from Geoff Johns and artist Andy Kubert which led to the publisher's New 52 reboot. In the story, Professor Zoom alters reality, resulting in a world where the Justice League never existed and the world is in utter chaos due to Aquaman's and his Atlantean Empire's globe spanning war with Wonder Woman's Amazon Nation. Below, courtesy of WB Animation publicist Gary Mieranu, we have some behind the scenes snaps to accompany the voice cast announcement.

When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for The Flash and his family, the ripples of the event prove disastrous as a fractured, alternate reality now exists where a Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Teaming with a grittier, more violent Dark Knight and Cyborg, Flash races to restore the continuity of his original timeline while this new world is ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman's Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans. With breath taking action and an all-star voice cast, it's a bold, emotional vision that will forever change the landscape of the DC Universe.

RUMORS SPOILERS NEW AMAZING SPIDER-MAN DETAILS! HOPE ITS BS!

Plot/Character Details For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2; SPOILERS Ahead

We've managed to uncover a few tidbits and one pretty major spoiler from Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man sequel. Read on to find out more on how Green Goblin, Electro, Gwen Stacy and Venom will - or won't - feature in the movie..

 

Okay, SPOILER WARNING noted, ready to move on? Final Warning?? A source close to the production has provided us with the following pieces of information on The Amazing Spider-Man 2. There are some details we got hold of that we won't post now, but we will reveal one major - though not entirely unexpected - spoiler.



First up, Electro (Jamie Foxx). We're told he will not be wearing anything close to his classic green and yellow outfit, and to "think Ultimate version". Again, not really unexpected. The character's civilian alter ego Max Dillon will be an Oscorp employee - oh, and that pic Webb tweeted with the morgue number? Nothing at all to do with Venom (no Eddie Brock appearance either) it's actually where Dillon is taken after his "accident". We're told there will be no Green Goblin in this movie but LOTS of teasers and foreshadowing for the next movie - apparently Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper) hasn't been cured yet and is still dying. Now for the big spoiler: Just as most of us suspected, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) will indeed check out in this film, but perhaps more surprising is that it's been hinted - note we don't know this for certain - that this won't even happen at the end, and Stone's role may not be very large at all. Like I said, that's speculation based on how the info was put across, but I personally wouldn't be surprised in Gwen buys it around the beginning of the third act, giving Spidey a reason to go off the deep end and seek revenge.

Thoughts?

YOUNG JUSTICE AND GL SERIES MAY BE SAVED FANS PROTESTING WB NOW!

WB Meeting In April To Discuss Resurrecting YOUNG JUSTICE And GREEN LANTERN: TAS?

Word from the people behind SMGOtv is that fan outcry has prompted Warner Bros. to take a second look at Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series and that an April meeting has been set to determine the feasibility of more episodes via crowd funding.

While their main website is down for a relaunch, the people of SMGO took to Tumblr to inform the masses that there's a small spark of hope for YOUNG JUSTICE and GREEN LANTERN: THE ANIMATED SERIES to continue. Specifically, the people behind SMGOtv(SHOWMUSTGOoNTV) are poised to launch a crowdfunded campaign (think Kickstarter) to save the two fan favorite animated shows but they must first receive the official OK from WB Animation. If they get approval, fans will be able to finance more material for the shows (episodes, OVA, film, etc.). If you want to see more YJ and GL:TAS then continue to make your voices heard right up till the April 11th meeting.

Green Lantern: The Animated Series executive producer Giancarlo Volpe shared the following on March 23rd.
Phone call with WB this morning went well! A meeting is planned on April 11th! We'll keep you informed! Thank you all! #GLTAS #YJ

NINJA TURTLES INTERROGATE MEGAN FOX! LOL THERE PISSED AY BAY!

THE REST OF THE NINJA TURTLES HAVE BEEN CAST! AND SHREDDER IS UP NEXT!

NINJA TURTLES Reboot Casts Its Leonardo, Donatello And Michaelangelo

Pete Plozek (Parks And Recreation), Jeremy Howard (Galaxy Quest) and Noel Fisher (Battle: LA) join Alan Ritchson as Paramount's new Ninja Turtles. Additionally, the studio is looking to cast an actor for Shredder soon.

 

Last week, we reported that Alan Ritchson (Smallville, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) was cast as Raphael in Paramount Pictures' planned reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, which will be produced by Michael Bay (Transformers) and directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath Of The Titans). Now, thanks to Deadline, we now know who will be playing the rest of the Turtles. Pete Ploszek (Parks And Recreation, Shameless) will play Leonardo, Jeremy Howard (Galaxy Quest) is set for Donatello, and Noel Fisher (who previously worked with Liebesman on Battle: Los Angeles) is Michaelangelo. Megan Fox will play April O'Neil, and the site adds that the studio is hoping to cast an actor for the villainous Shredder soon. Unlike the original movies, the new Ninja Turtles will be motion captured a la Avatar, which will give them better exposure as Paramount hopes for the film to launch a new series. With production expected to begin next month, Ninja Turtles is set to hit theaters June 6th, 2014. What do you think of this casting?


L-R: Pete Ploszek (Leonardo), Jeremy Howard (Donatello), Noel Fisher (Michaelangelo)

RYAN REYNOLD WOULD RETURN FOR JUSTICE LEAUGE IF SCRIPT IS RIGHT!

Not yet," Reynolds responds, when asked by Empire magazine if he has got a call about the Justice League movie. "I don't know. If you're gonna do comic book movies in that vein, you really have to get them right. I believe that Joss Whedon is the guy that just nails it and Christopher Nolan obviously nails it. So if they were gonna do it like that, it would be an interesting thing to do.

"It's just that... working on Green Lantern, I saw how difficult it is make that concept palatable," Reynolds continues. "And how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly - that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with. So at this point I have very little interest in joining that kind of world. But, you know, a great script and a good director can always turn that around."

SMALLVILLES AQUAMAN CAST AS RAPHAEL IN MICHEAL BAYS NINJA TURTLES!

LATEST NEWS

'Smallville' Star Alan Ritchson is Raphael in the New 'Ninja Turtles'

 

Producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman have been fighting an uphill battle against hardcore fans with their new take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ever since it was discovered that the heroes in a half shell were being converted from mutants to aliens and the title was officially just Ninja Turtles. The movie has encountered a few budget issues, and despite Bay's assertion that fans should just calm down, the backlash continued when Megan Fox was cast as April O'Neil last month. Now Deadline reports that Paramount and Platinum Dunes have cast "Smallville" actor Alan Ritchson as Raphael. Wait, who is that?
Ritchson played Arthur Curry aka Aquaman on the long-running CW series, and he just wrapped shooting the highly-anticipated sequel The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, in which he'll play a knife-wielding tribute from District One named Gloss. In Ninja Turtles, the cast members playing the iconic heroes will trade out the rubber suits from the original for a modern motion capture suit (much like Avatar). While Deadline calls this a "good role" for Ritchson, his part in the film won't be all that great if the script isn't worth a damn, and with the supposedly leaked screenplay and damage controlled bad buzz already surrounding this movie, it looks like we have reason to worry, not to mention the underwhelming Liebesman at the helm.
I know a lot of fans don't like it, but I'm cool with Megan Fox as April O'Neil, and I'm sure Ritchson will make a fine Raphael. We won't write this movie off completely without seeing a trailer, but Bay and Liebesman have a lot of work to do if they want to win over fans before this film hits theaters. Ninja Turtles still has a May 16th, 2014 release date in place, up against Gareth Edwards' Godzilla remake. Thoughts

NO NEW DC MOVIES UNTIL AFTER JUSTICE LEAUGE! YES! JL COMING FIRST!

No New DC Movies Until After Justice League: Is DC Intimidated by Marvel's Success?

• 13 March, 2013

 

Over the years, DC Comics—who are owned by Warner Bros.—have had successful film franchises for Superman and Batman. However, despite their long history and wealth of characters, they’ve never had a hit hero franchise that didn’t have the Man of Steel or the Dark Knight involved. Currently they have no plans to even try until they see how the Justice League movie does. Is DC perhaps a bit intimidated by Marvel’s recent mega-success at movies?

DC Comics has been around since the 1930s and it has some of the most recognizable super-heroes in the world...Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, etc. Everyone knows them. These names are arguably better known worldwide than Iron Man or Thor. With this huge stable of characters to work with, you’d think DC-- reorganized into DC Entertainment a few years ago--would be rolling out a non-stop cavalcade of projects. However, No other DC projects are officially in the works except Justice League and the already completed Man of Steel. No other in-consideration DC super hero film has a script, a producer, a director or a cast.
Contrast this with Marvel, who have several successful franchises going now—The Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America—and will be adding the Guardians of the Galaxy very soon, as well as Ant-Man and Doctor Strange. There is also the strong possibility of a Hulk sequel starring Mark Ruffalo, following Avengers 2. Add to that Amazing Spider Man 2, and X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Marvel is on a major roll!
So what is DC/Warner Bros. thinking? They say they are waiting to see how Man of Steel performs before they commit themselves to anything. They have spoken about a possible Batman reboot franchise but nothing else seems to be getting serious consideration. The Justice League film, although currently stuck in development hell, seems a sure thing. But of course, the Justice League will feature two guys you may have heard of—Superman and Batman.
DC’s current strategy is to do the opposite of what Marvel is doing. Instead of combining multiple hero franchises into one super-team film; they are going to use the super-team film to launch several franchises. They hope that the introduction of modern versions of Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern will be so well received in the JL movie that the spin-offs will succeed better.
Since the creation of DC Entertainment a few years back, the only non-Bat, non-Kryptonian film they have attempted is the much maligned Green Lantern, which has made them gun-shy about any project that doesn’t have a bat-signal or a red cape with an ‘S’ on it.
DC has been resting their hopes on Christopher Nolan, who directed the successful Batman series and is now overseeing the Man of Steel. However, Nolan has recently made it clear that he doesn’t want to be involved in the Justice League movie — which means that he won’t be the guiding Godfather for DC that Joss Whedon is for Marvel. This was a crushing blow for Warner Bros., which had been hoping that the popular Nolan would connect his red-hot name to the Justice League and its spin-offs.
Without Nolan, DC has to find a new guiding Godfather to oversee its ‘Universe’. Hopefully, whomever becomes Whedon’s DC counterpart will have a better vision for these characters and we’ll start seeing more DC projects in the near future.

 

TV'S GREEN ARROW STEPHEN AMELL TO VOICE ARROW IN INJUSTICE GODS AMONG US!

Exclusive: Stephen Amell Brings His Arrow Alias to the Injustice Video Game

Injustice: Gods Among Us

Stephen Amell's got game. Literally. The Arrow star is bringing his superhero alias to the highly anticipated video game Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Amell, who plays Oliver Queen on the hit CW series, is lending his voice (and likeness) for a variation on Green Arrow in the game, which is based on the DC Comics universe. Players can unlock the Arrow character, an alternate version (or "skin," in gaming parlance) of the game's default setting, which is the classic comic book incarnation of the Emerald Archer.

Injustice — developed by NetherRealm Studios, creators of the popular Mortal Kombat games — is an ambitious production, with intense fighting elements and an extensive storyline along the lines of a Hollywood blockbuster. DC Comics' most iconic characters are featured, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, Lex Luthor, the Joker and Catwoman.

Among the voice cast is fan favorite Kevin Conroy as Batman, a character he originated in Batman: The Animated Series and has played in countless animated shows, movies and video games. George Newbern is Superman, a role he played on Cartoon Network's Justice League, and animation vet Tara Strong (The Powerpuff Girls, The Fairly Oddparents) is Harley Quinn.

Injustice: Gods Among Us goes on sale April 16 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U.
