Filming has begun: http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/film...s-now-underway That means a reveal of Batman and possibly Wonder Woman should be just around the corner. They'll want to release official photos of their suits before crappy paparazzi photos get spread around.

God I hope it improves on the Superman film! With a good writer polishing the script, I think that it should. David Goyer's scripts have always been better when he's working with other writers. In the case of the previous Batman trilogy - Chris and Jonathan Nolan. Goyer is definitely a comic book fan at heart and has great ideas on how to bring the characters to screen, it's just that his general scripting and storytelling leaves quite a bit to be desired. So with the writer of Argo on board, I'm hoping for the best. That's not to say I didn't enjoy Man of Steel. I love it, actually. But it definitely has some things that could be improved for Batman vs Superman, or whatever they end up calling it(hoping for "World's Finest").

Man Of Steel just felt a bit empty for me. It tried ever so hard, but just felt as if was trying rather than achieving for me. ie: It was OK, but certainly no Batman!

It was announced a few days ago that Zack Snyder will immediately go into production for Justice League after Batman vs Superman(or whatever it's eventually called) for a 2017 or 2018 release. Also, the events and conclusion of BvS will lead directly into the formation of the Justice League. That was all officially confirmed by Warner Brothers, but there are also very strong rumors that Snyder is actually filming both films together. Much like the Matrix sequels, Donner's Superman 1 & 2, Back to the Future 2 & 3, etc. This would explain the release date being two years away even though filming has already begun. My biggest fears are that they're rushing things and whether or not they have a good writer on board to tighten up Goyer's work....

Hopefully it all comes together.

I ALREADY thought this was turning into the Justice League movie! BUT, this tidbit would make that make sense. Maybe not all the casting for B&S is ACTUALLY for that movie, but for JLA, if they're shooting simultaneously. I hope so anyway. If you're going to make a movie called "Batman & Superman", that should be the focus, not "Batman & Superman & A Cast of Thousands"...

Snyder took to twitter for a teasing glimpse of the new Batmobile: The full reveal will be tomorrow. I'm glad to see the return of the more comic book-ish "wings", but those rear tires seem pretty large. Almost as if they're going with a combination of Nolan's Tumbler and something more akin to the comics. Or perhaps they only appear large because we can only see the back end of the vehicle...

[MinionZombie]

Hmmm ... it didn't seem to be showing in your post, bass ... let's see if this works: Wheel size wise I'd say they look about appropriate for the rest of the car, just from the vague shape of it. I think those sort of metal circular things on the rear axle make them look wider to the eye.

Is that a dorsal fin on that vehicle?!

[bassman]

Is that a dorsal fin on that vehicle?! It appears to be two or more that are on hydraulics so that they can move depending on the stunts needed. Sort of like the smaller fins on Nolan's tumbler. That's my guess, anyway. We'll see the full car sometime today. Just from this shot of the rear, this car seems quite similar to the batmobile from the Arkham City games. Especially the one in the new Arkham Knight trailer...

Where's the rear rocket jet?

[bassman]

Where's the rear rocket jet? It's there, just a bit different from what we've seen in the past. I guess the only way I can describe it is that it looks like a cartoon character's frown? You can see it in the center. - - - Updated - - - The batmobile AND Affleck in the suit! http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimag...nbatmobile.jpg Not too sure about the batmobile or the busy texture of the suit, but I LOVE that they're finally using the small "ears" on the cowl. Perhaps it's the lighting, but the suit also looks a bit more gray than what we've seen in the past.
