Scarecrow will appear in The Dark Knight.

Two-Face will also appear in the next Batman, though how much exposure isn't revealed. So there you have it; like Batman Begins our dark hero will have quite a few villains to take on. Four by my count.

Two-Face, or Harvey Dent?

The actor who plays him said Two-Face. As far as news goes you can't get better sources than actor/writers. They're alot more protective of plot-lines than who's in the movie (unlike a certain wall-crawling franchise). I find that to be a more mature take on pre-release press, personally.

This gangster played by Spawn.

No, there is a named villain called Sal Maroni - or are you talking about Gamble, Kalyx?

I hope they don't turn him into two-face in this film, build it up to a third movie.

Waitaminnit, thought I heard Anthony Michael Hall's mystery role was that of Edward Nygma, aka The Riddler. I guess that makes 5, unless they're just setting Riddler up?

Where did you get this Joker photo?

I'm liking Joker's look. And yeah, I meant gamble. Far as I know the Riddler will not be in this movie. I'd save him; he's a villain that would absolutely rule in the Bale Era universe.

And the CW reveals Smallville's version of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl.

Clark's gonna post a familiar thread about his cousin pretty soon. The actress is Laura Vandervoort. She'll be hanging around for a bit this coming season. Liking that she'll be based on the current S-Girl. That pendant she's wearing won't be on the show, BTW. So no spoilers here. All in all she doesn't look bad.

I don't watch the show, but not bad.

She's lovely:love:

Ahem, anyway......

Jonah Hex is getting the big screen treatment, brought to us by the team that gave us Crank.

To the comic-casual; Jonah Hex is a bounty hunter in the Wild West era and his adventures tend to include supernatural elements like time travel. He's appeared twice in the DCAU which is the most mainstream he's ever got.

See ya in them moving-pictures, partner.

And the Y: The Last Man film has had writers announced:

Meh. Would prefer someone better for an awesome series like Y: The Last Man. Actually, I would prefer an HBO TV series over a movie.

Y :love:

Dude I think I just filled the cup. :naughty:

:drool:

Long story short; they're taking Teen Titans pretty seriously. The writer's approaching it in a realism similar to Batman Begins (though he stressed it not being apart of its universe despite the possible inclusion of two Batman characters). He sounds sincere and the themes seem to fit, but it'll be hard to write a TT script without it sounding like an X-Men story. Let's see where it goes.

Captain Marvel:

His screenplay was turned in with an action/comedy tone. The writer says the concept of a boy who speaks a magic word to be a superhero would work if it was concepted today. I agree. I'm eagerly following this one.

JLA:

They begun casting for unspecified leads. I'm particularly furious at Brandon Routh's exclusion. Bale I understand, but Routh is free to do whatever. If they do Avengers like that idea I posted in the Iron Man thread; Marvel will own the film front.

lol

Good luck with that.

Brokeback Clown Speaks:

Heath Ledger appearently loves playing the Clown Prince of Crime. He describes him as having no empathy; a "mass murdering clown". These things we knew of Joker, but its good to also know he won't be toned down too much in his return to live action.

The Other Batman:

Ryan Gosling (Fracture) is rumored to be a top choice to be the Bat in the live action JLA feature. It's time we got over the fact that Bale isn't gonna be on the team, so let's look forward with who WB is looking at for the role. At best, they shouldn't get anyone who'll emulate Bale's performance. With Superman I can understand why whoever they choose would come off playing Supes like Routh (whose exclusion's something I can barely get over), but there are many shades of Batman to be painted here. We've never seen him around other heroes, and great character points could be made in JLA. An actor could be chosen especially to help paint that picture.

JLA sounds like it's going to be awful.

Its all up to this guy...

JLA Director Confirmed:

George Miller is the director of the upcoming JLA movie. Superman's next film is taking a backseat to the movie. You'd think that mean Routh still has work as Kal-El in JLA but they have some sort of issue with as he won't be Supes in neither JLA or a new Superman movie (I like Routh, people). Why do they consider JLA a sub for a Superman movie anyway? They've expressed that Batman could continue his franchise aside from JLA. I suppose this is a clue to Superman's general role in the team-up. Now after JLA will the new Superman be the star of the next Superman solo film? If Routh returns that would be the stupidest thing I've seen in a while. WB has a chance to set up a movie universe for DC and they're being silly.

So silly.

I really liked Routh, even if Superman Returns was a little lacking. The fact that they're completely shit-canning the Superman franchise for a cheap team-up just sounds incredibly stupid, especially since there's no build-up to it whatsoever.

It’s simple really.

Superman fans will watch a superman film

Or they will also watch a Justice League film because superman is in it

Rinse and repeat with Batman, The Flash and all the others (whoever they decide to put in in, not Aquaman though, please!)

So from the studio’s perspective, the Superman film didn’t make a profit in the cinema and generally wasn’t well received. I thought it was passable and it wasn’t Routh’s fault, I thought he did a good job, as did Kevin Spacey, I think the rest of the cast sucked and the feel of the film wasn’t right, it was like they were trying to make modern day feel like the 1920’s with the fashion and general decor, it made the previous superman film look more modern. Anyway I’m getting off track. This will make money because it’s pretty much going to bring in all fans of most of the popular DC comics. So it stands more chance of making money than a superman solo film.

Bale is raking in the cash and they’ve done a stella job with the re-launch of the franchise, if Bale doesn’t want to be on board, I don’t see why they can’t have another guy playing batman, it’s not that big a deal is it really? Same goes with Supes, Routh could stick with the solo flicks and someone else could play Kent in this film.

Ryan Reynolds for The Flash though, that’s the most exciting part of this film for me, as the old TV film was a let down along with the TV show, even if I did watch it religiously as a child, he deserves a proper run on the big screen

Just downloaded Superman: Doomsday.

Superman: Doomsday is pretty nice. I seen some scenes and those DCAU guys get loose without the confines of TV editing. That 'Return of the Joker Uncut' edge makes me excited for their new animated DVD line. I'm dying to see the JLA movie (New Frontier).

I'm psyched about New Frontier. It's an awesome story, and the previews for it look sweet. If the JLA movie is anything like that, I'll be happy.

Know Your Role And SHAZAAM!!:

The Rock as been approved for one of two roles in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie; Black Adam (which would be great) or Captain Marvel himself (which would be a miscast). The Rock has expressed that its up to the fans of the product. As a fan, I say Black Adam all the way.

Alfred Speaks:

Michael Caine went on record to say, you guessed it, Heath Ledger is owning his role as Joker. That's like 4 people saying that this will be a great Joker, but Caine has specifically stated that it blows old Jack's portrayal away. everybody's thinking it, Caine said it. Can't wait.

Make Up Your Mind:

First off, some chick auditioned for the role of Diana Prince (Wonder Woman), whatever.

Now, the site JusticeLeague-on-Film.com as stated that the JLA movie will infact be CGI focused, as in Pixar-type CGI. They said they were 90% certain. That's a reversal of the news we got that it would be a live-action film. But since the news of it being Live-Action came from WB itself, I'll go with that news. I mean all the talk of Batman's actor and stuff would be silly if that were the case, right?

If Michael Caine said that, then I believe him.

The Rock WOULD be a miscast as Captain Marvel. He WOULD make a great Black Adam in terms of looks... but... I still can't get over watching The Rock in movies. He is always just The Rock to me. Although, to be fair, I've only ever seen The Scorpion King, and that was a long time ago. But in trailers and stuff I'm just like "The Rock is acting!" and not seeing him as his movie character like I do with other actors.

Never heard of Black Adam.

Black Adam is basically Captain Marvel, only Middle Eastern and evil. He's much cooler than I just made him sound, though.

Black Adam is badass.
