I hope by cliffhangers they mean more stuff like the Joker tease at the end of BB and less shit like Superman and Doomsday running at each other, about to duke it out, and then the screen goes black and "To Be Continued." appears in white text.
So, News?
I'm told by my source, that the marketing campaign for Batman Vs. Superman will still be starting up this year. Photo releases can be expected in the coming months and a viral site will be launched with a "choose your side" angle. That's about it. In the near future, be on the lookout for official casting news pertaining Joaquin Phoenix, Jason Momoa (despite his denials) and Josh Holloway.

Joaquin as Lex is just godly casting. Would be the best comic book movie villain since ledger's joker easily.
I don't know where TDKR would have ended up or if it would have done much better but lets not act like the tragedy which was a huge national event didn't affect its run. It happened opening weekend was all over the news. The movie was linked with it for quite some time.
Keep also in mind that while Avengers and movies like it play better across the world (the heavy action and affects work), Batman's primary source of box office return is domestic. Its remarkable to me that two darker and grittier Batman movies (compared to other comic book movies) without the help of 3D managed to do more than a billion. Even more remarkable that somehow people think this isn't enough, that the people soured on the brand, and or somehow this means DC is losing.
And lets also not minimize the tragic even itself. I went with a huge group of friends that opening weekend for a Sat night show. Some of them, and myself included, did take quick glances at the side exits and doors any time a scene with heavy firing came on screen. It scared a lot of people away from theaters for a while.
So what is Green Lantern's excuse for sucking?
Yet many people raged over Ledger being cast.Joaquin as Lex is just godly casting. Would be the best comic book movie villain since ledger's joker easily.
I actually think it would be a bad idea. Phoenix is great, but as Lex he'd be a nuisance. Remember that contemporary renditions have Lex as the human superman. After Gladiator, Phoenix is forever doomed to be the whiny, snake type of villain.

Man every Superman vs Batman thread turns into a DC/Marvel shitfest. The official Superman vs Batman thread is gonna be a bloodbath.
Joaquin Phoenix is one of the greatest actors working today. He's not forever doomed to be anything.
Lex Luthor as the main villian? Fuck that.
I don't know about that...This comes from the woman who thought Elektra was a good movie.
XFINITY Entertainment Editors said:Jennifer Garner on 'Elektra'
Jennifer Garner never actually trash-talked the movie Elektra herself, but then-boyfriend Michael Vartan told Us Weekly that the actress thought the movie was "awful" and that she only did it because it was a clause in her Daredevil contract. Sadly for Vartan, Garner soon broke their relationship off. Coincidence?
Isn't that good though? If being a villain is what he does best, well there you go. I admit I have doubts too, but he is a fine actor so let's see what he does with the role.Phoenix is forever doomed to be the whiny, snake type of villain.
I expect Ben to back out. Or the director will and the film will remain in limbo.
LOL You think Snyder is going to back out of this? Him of all people?
Still casting. I think filming is supposed to start around April or so.So have they started filming SvB yet or are they still casting?
I think this movie won't even be made. Let alone be a good movie if it ever is. WB and DC don't know what they want on screen. If they have a vision for a DCU film franchise its being built on some weak foundation (MoS)
If we get a movie Lex that isn't obsessed with real estate plots, we'll essentially have a new villain.The Lex thing is so tiresome
I fully expect people to get banned. Fanboys take this shit way too personally. You'd think they had stock in these companies.Man every Superman vs Batman thread turns into a DC/Marvel shitfest. The official Superman vs Batman thread is gonna be a bloodbath.
The DC crowd really took it hard when Avengers was so successful. They were so confident that TDKR would trump it at the BO. The Avengers vs TDKR thread was a great read back in 2012.
Eh, he's ok at best. Nothing great.
I just don't like how either Lex has to be powered up, or Supes to be powered down to make the movie interesting.

I cannot imagine Phoenix actually agreeing to this. He can't even put with the awards campaign shit for a couple months, he's really going to jump through the hoops of blockbuster filmmaking? He's going to be asked about this movie every for the next two years of his life.
This is either completely false or he's not thinking it through. :lol

You so crazy. This movie is Snyder's meal ticket.
Looking at Warners history of trying to get DC movies made, especially the period in between Batman Forever and Batman begins, it wouldn't surprise me at all if this movie never gets made. Hell, it wouldn't even be the first Batman/Superman movie to get canned. Reading how incompetent they were during that time really makes it a miracle that we ever got a halfway decent Batman or Superman movie again.
And yes, even MOS was halfway decent compared to what Burton had planned.
10 bucks says this movie will be made.

I would imagine Marvel will have a sequel to Thor, Captain America, or Guardians around that time. Depending on which movie had the best box office draw previous (Thor 2, Captain America 2, Guardians 1).
The Lex thing is so tiresome
Time for some possible bullshit. These are rumors I've heard from someone that got fired from the production recently (like the past week). Take this with a grain of salt though, folks. Seriously. Please note that there are some major spoilers here if any of it is true.
The villians are Lex Luthor and Metallo
Batman forms a UN type deal to stop Superman from destroying another city
Aquaman is in it, but not called Aquaman. He's there because the world engine in the ocean did something to the fish
Jason Momao is definitely up for Aquaman
Wonderwoman poses as a Wayne Enterprises investor to retrieve an item that belongs to her people.
Lex Luthor is in the shadows a lot, a manipulator. Not much face time with Superman.
Robin betrayed Batman at some point, leading to a falling out between them
The Batcave was super cool looking, and the mobile looked similar to Burton's
Lois is investigating Lex.
Metallo "kills" Clark
The Daily Planet is bought by Lex Luthor for PR purposes
At the end Superman is living in exile, and the Justice League is an government approved superhero team.
My source is someone from the art department that supposedly got shitcanned (apparently a bunch of them were fired). I confirm nothing. Just passing along what I heard. Take it with the proper amount of salt.
Robin betrayed Batman? That wouldn't happen. Betrayal from Batman's absolutist view maybe.
sounds like a mess
I think so, too. Sounds likea Dick situation.
Zack Snyder is a director capable of directing a mess. I'm not worried.
