‘Superman & Batman’ movie will follow ‘Man of Steel’

Seems like the captions on that Empire cover would make more sense if the actor and character names were reversed.
 
From Josh Wilding over at CBM.com

The latest edition of Empire Magazine includes tons of new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice details, with a particular focus on Ben Affleck's Batman. As has been the case ever since he was cast, much of that focus revolves around the fact that the Gone Girl star is playing an older Caped Crusader than we're used to seeing. "We are playing him 45 or 46," director Zack Snyder confirms. "He has been Batman for 20 years. All the history is there. Was there a Robin at one time? Possibly." This interview obviously took place before the trailer was released as producer Charles Roven also teased the fate of a certain Boy Wonder. "He has lost those near and dear to him, and not necessarily from old age of disease..." That could of course also refer to Batman's other allies, especially as Jim Gordon's fate in the DC Extended Universe isn't all that clear at this point.
 
Affleck is channeling Adam West in that first photo, it seems.

I have to admit that although I was very skeptical about this film, everything I'm seeing and reading is really grabbing me. All this as my original enthusiasm for the Fantistic Four film has fallen dramatically over the past few weeks.

Looks like Batman is going to beam up. Small transporter though.

I love the idea of this.

"OK, time to be Batman. First I have to take the cowl off the thing. Wait, shit, there's the cape. Now I have to get into the suit. Now I have to take the gloves off the mannequin. The boots, too. Then put on the belt. THEN I can put the mask on and after that, the cape. Then I can be Batman."

Batman Returns has its flaws, but showing that Wayne stores the ancillary components in a huge supply is a great bit by both Burton and Schumacher.

Edit: Seriously, the idea of Batman putting the Batsuit that he uses on a mannequin is just funny. "Oh, God damn it, why won't this glove come off?! :mad:"
 
^^^It looks more like they're taking lessons from Arrow and The Flash, Ollie and Reverse Flash also kept their costumes in a similar manner.
 
^ If that's true...

I hope they don't jump ahead to Oracle. And if she is Oracle, I hope we get to see her as Batgirl at some point in another movie.

Maybe it's just me, but it almost looks like Cavil is purposely contorting his face to look like Shannon here.

I wonder if that's intentional.
