Big discussion on what the hashtag means? The Seven Seas or the seven core members of the Justice League? Since we haven't heard anything about John Jones/Martian Manhunter its would be new 52 team of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, the Flash and Cyborg!

Looks great but some color please.

There was a guy in the hunger games second movie that has a trident and same style blonde hair as the first aquaman.

I couldn't help but think damn that guy looks like aquaman.

First Look at Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

First Look at Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

1427297268771


Entertainment Weekly has scored the first photo of Jesse Eisenberg in character as Lex Luthor from Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it looks...well, it looks a lot like Jesse Eisenberg with a shaved head. There's really not too much to unpack in this one. The photo was taken by Clay Enos, the set photographer who is responsible for those fun back-and-forth images between Snyder's camp and the Star Wars team last year.

Snyder gave a description of Eisenberg's character to the magazine to accompany the picture:

“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure, other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.

"Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake. He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.”

I suppose it makes sense that Luthor says what's on his mind — when you have billions of dollars, you can pretty much say whatever you want without fear. It'll be interesting to see two billionaires in the same movie (Luthor and Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne) and see how they stack up against each other. What do you think about Eisenberg's new look?

This looks awful. Every leaked picture or detail just keeps adding on. When is this being released exactly? Surely not in 2015 like the title says right?

This movie is going to blow people away! IMO Everyone is forgetting its being written by an Academy Award winning screenwriter who wrote ARGO.


No, it want be released this year. This thread was started in 2013 when/this film was original announced as the sequel to Man of Steel. (Release dates for Blockbuster films are usually announced well ahead of any actual filming, Since you haven't kept up both DC/WB & Marvel have already announced release dates for untitled films all the way to 2020)

DC Comics/Warner Bros. finally decided they needed to go all in a Cinematic Universe to try and rival Marvel's and the film release date was pushed back and then changed as Batman V. Superman & Captain America: Civil War ended up being announced for the same release weekend. DC/WB then moved there film to March.

Now the Official release dates are for next year for both films Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice - March 25, 2016

Captain America: Civil War kept the original release date of May 5, 2016

We Know So Little About 'Batman V Superman' One Year Out, And That's Great


We Know So Little About 'Batman V Superman' One Year Out, And That's Great

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice opens exactly one year from today. In today’s deceptively fast Internet movie news cycle, it both seems like forever until the film’s release and like it’s been forever since the project was announced. Yet the would-be Man of Steel sequel will debut just under three years after the opening of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Back in the so-called olden days (the 1980′s and 1990′s) 2-3 years between installments was normal, even expected. The Star Wars trilogy came out three years apart, as did the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Heck, Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight arrived just over three years after Batman Begins while The Dark Knight Rises dropped exactly four years after The Dark Knight. But in today’s supercharged franchise culture, when you can burn through five Twilight movies in four years and four Hunger Games movies in just over three years, the pace of the Saw films became more common than the pace of the Indiana Jones sequels. But regardless of how things are versus how things were, we are officially a year out from the film that will make-or-break Warner Bros./Time Warner TWX -0.86% Inc.’s ambitious DC Comics superhero universe. And what is worth celebrating is how little we know at this point.

We didn’t get a teaser trailer in December along with The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. We didn’t get a commercial on Super Bowl Sunday. We didn’t get a trailer attached to Jupiter Ascending back in early February. We may or may not get a teaser at next weekend’s WonderCon, or perhaps Warner Bros. will do what we all expected them to do which is wait for Walt Disney's DIS -1.52% Avengers: Age of Ultron which is debuting overseas on April 22nd or wait until the debut of Warner’s Mad Max: Fury Road on May 15th. It is a little odd to praise the relative restraint of a major studio marketing campaign for making us wait until 10-11 months before a film’s release before giving us a teaser, but such is life in the current franchise marketing environment. And thus it is worthwhile that Warner Bros. has shown relative restraint in terms of explicit teases.

J.J. Abrams was gently “persuaded” to release a bare-bones teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in select theaters over Thanksgiving weekend, and even Nolan’s Batman sequels teased exactly a year out, give or take the weekend. That Dark Knight teaser dropped over the opening weekend of The Simpsons Movie back in July 2007 while the teaser for The Dark Knight Rises debuted over the opening weekend of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II one year prior to its debut. Heck, Man Of Steel dropped its first barebones trailer over the opening weekend of The Dark Knight Rises around 11 months prior to its June 2013 debut just after debuting its Comic Con sizzle reel (which sadly never went online in an official capacity). But here we are, one year out, and we know shockingly little. In the 1.5 years since the project was announced at the 2013 SDCC, we’ve had a SDCC exclusive clip, some casting announcements, some official photos/character posters, and that’s basically it.

Warner teased the 2014 SDCC with a super-short clip that never made it officially online. We’ve had one photo of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, two context-free photos of Ben Affleck as Batman, one rather generic look at Henry Cavill as Superman, and a full promo shot of Jason Momoa as Aquaman that looks like a preemptive character poster. And (unless I’m forgetting something) aside from fuzzy paparazzi photos (“Hey look, it’s Henry Cavill as Clark Kent!”), we don’t know much else. We don’t know in what capacity the other superheros are showing up. We don’t know what Jesse Eisenberg looks like as Lex Luthor (scratch that one… apparently Warner Bros. has a sense of humor) or Jeremy Irons looks like as Alfred. We have yet to see Ben Affleck in action as Batman. We don’t know for sure who Jena Malone is playing.

We certainly can look around for would-be spoilers from other writers who claim to have read one version of the script or another, but even that’s just would-be plot rumors for those who actively seek them out. The official word has been mum, both in terms of confirmed content and audio/visual teases. Far more so than any Marvel movie, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a relative mystery in terms of how it will feel and how it will play and how it will look both to hardcore fans and to general audiences who just thought Man of Steel was a mostly good time at the movies. Obviously we’ll probably have a teaser by this time next month, or soon thereafter. But, with the caveat that this isn’t remotely the only thing I’m posting today, I’d like to take a moment to praise the successful secrecy of Warner Bros./DC Comics’s marketing department.

Nearly all of the big casting announcements came straight from the source rather than scooped by online journalists, and many of those announcements (like Eisenberg as Lex Luthor) were complete surprises. If anything, they’ve used David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and its rumors about what roles Batman and Jared Leto’s Joker will play (and whether or not Leto will just do an impersonation of the Dark Knight Returns Joker) as something of a distraction. Maybe Warner Bros. will spend the next year spoiling the film in every conceivable way. Maybe the first teaser will be followed by ten more and a deluge of spoilerly clips and copious “with all new footage” TV spots. Maybe the cast and crew will relentlessly spoil not just what happens in Dawn of Justice but what happens in Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and the two-part Justice League adventure in the run-up to March 25th, 2016. But thus far we’ve been refreshingly kept in the dark, both in terms of confirmed story/character beats and actual physical media that shows us what we’re in for next year.

For what it’s worth, I’m glad Warner Bros. is playing it slow, dispersing the information they want to drop on their own terms. It may be a minor thing, but we’re one year out and we know shockingly little about Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Come what may, especially for a project that’s been in high-profile development for nearly two years, I cannot help but be impressed and encouraged. I spend a lot of time critiquing when I think marketing departments show too much and withhold too little. So let me take a moment, before I start my other output for the day, to give a nod of the hat to the Warner Bros. marketing department for not giving in to the “spoiler entitlement culture” just yet with what is (financially-speaking) their most important film in recent memory.

Did they? I give it credit for trying it's best to stick to the source material in the 3hr running time but it wasn't a very good movie.

His claim to fame is 300 and it's very overrated IMO.

Yeah, El Mayimbe (Umberto Gonzalaz) reported that as rumor last week but I didn't post it as I didn't see anyway that a DC/Warner Bros. film that big would be attached to the biggest Marvel film of the year!
