SPOILER! DOES THIS INTERVIEW SUGGEST THERE IS NO MAN OF STEEL 2!!!

Despite the growing rumors that a "Man of Steel" sequel is on its way, new development suggest that it's probably not going to happen.

In his interview with Canoe, director Zack Snyder addressed the rumors claiming that as far as he is concerned, the only sequel "Man of Steel" is having is the upcoming "Batman V Superman" movie.
"I think in a way 'Batman v Superman' is 'Man of Steel 2,'" he explained. "Justice League is kind of the transcendent, knights-of-the-round-table of the story. It'd be interesting to think about what a standalone Superman movie might be."

While he did not completely dismiss the idea of having a separate "Man of Steel 2" movie, the "300" and "Watchmen" director is reportedly more concerned with the upcoming "Justice League" movies, which he will be directing as well.

"We really have to figure out the why of them," he explained of the entire Justice League cast. "And I think that we have. That's the one thing that's cool to me about 'Batman v Superman,' it's all about the mythology of these two massive icons. And I think that's compelling."

And while Snyder seemed to be contended with "Batman v Superman" being "Man of Steel's" sequel, Superman himself, Henry Cavill says otherwise.

Upon talking to EW Cavill said insisted that "Batman v Superman" is not a "Superman sequel."
"As far as the individual character is concerned, this is not a Superman sequel," he said of "Batman v Superman" being a sequel to "Man of Steel." "It's more of an introduction to Batman, an opening to Justice League, and an expansion of the world that was created in Man of Steel."

Additionally, Henry Cavill is confident that DC and Warner Bros. have future plans for more Superman sequels, which will come in the near future.

"There's plenty of time for individual Superman sequels," Cavill explained. "He's a tough character to tell. People like the darker vigilante. I think it speaks to the human psyche more easily rather than the god-like being that we can't really understand. Once we have a more expansive universe we can delve more into the character of Superman and hopefully tell more stories."

But for now Cavill will return as Clark Kent a.k.a Superman in "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" together with Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne a.k.a Batman, Gal Gadot as Diana Prince a.k.a. Wonder Woman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane.

It will also feature the appearances of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred J. Pennyworth, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Diane Lane as Martha Kent.

The film directed by Zack Snyder will be hitting theaters on March 25, 2016.

RUMOR!!! JARED LETO'S JOKER WILL APPEAR IN BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE!!!!

As the time shortens towards the release date of the upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) the rumours seem to be running wild and getting more and more interesting and stranger! The latest one revolves around the appearance of Jared Leto's Joker not only in Suicide Squad as we all know but also in Batman V Superman!

That's exactly how Warner Bros. intended it to be with all the hints and Easter eggs that they dropped, which they also knew would be nitpicked and theorized by today's blogosphere.
It has reached a point wherein there are already betting odds on which rumors will hold true. One rumor seems to have reached "inevitable" level, and that is the possible appearance of the Joker.

Cinema Blend has enumerated the hints on the trailer in this post and they reach a conclusion that all those Easter eggs-the damaged Robin costume and the vandalized headline, among others, lead to a clear conclusion.

"But with all of these hints dropped into this second trailer, I think it's extremely likely that we will see Jared Leto's Joker before he appears in Suicide Squad later next year."

What Culture also crashes the Joker party with a full-on prediction on how the appearance will take place.

"The rumored scene, which was reportedly added into the movie at the last minute, is supposed to depict the Joker kicking Batman's sidekick, Robin (or Jason Todd), to death," WC surmised. "And given that the trailer has already confirmed the appearance of a damaged Robin suit and the existence of at least one flashback (we see a young Bruce Wayne and his parents at one point in the latest trailer), there's certainly room for a debate on its inclusion."

The article also stated that the main argument against this rumor is that the film might already be "overstuffed." There are already a number of heroes to be introduced in the film to add the Joker to the head count.

The thing is, that is actually the intent of the movie. It has already been confirmed that BvS is more "Justice League" introduction and DC Extended Universe building block than "Man of Steel" sequel. It was meant to be that way, and the Joker plays an integral part of what makes the Ben Affleck Batman "scarred.

WILL BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE FLASH COSTUME BE SIMILAR TO GODS AMONG US GAME?

In September, actor Ezra Miller - who will play The Flash/ Barry Allen in the DC Cinematic Universe (rumoured to give a cameo in Batman v Superman/ Suicide Squad) teased some details about his version of The Flash describing the costume as "post apocalypctic." This led to fans speculating that the speeding superhero's suit might be similar to what the character has in the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game. The latest report from Den of Geek seems to further solidify that possibility.

According to the website, the movie costume will be "tech-based" in an effort to avoid "any comparison to the well designed and received TV version". The website's sources reckon the designers are taking inspiration directly from the Gods Among Us game to come up with an outfit that will "look more like armor".

Also, latest rumours suggest that Miller's Barry Allen will be something of a "tech-geek" in addition to his forensic scientist day job - so he may not even seek outside help to design his suit as he does on the CW series. The Flash movie is currently slated to release on 23 March 2018.

SUICIDE SQUAD (2016) ... WHAT IF THE JOKER ISN'T THE MAIN VILLAIN OF THE MOVIE?

Do you remember all the fanfare and marketing behind Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight in 2008? We all focused on the Joker as the main antagonist on the movie and then we all learnt that Two Face / Harvey Dent was just as equal an ingredient to the plot and in fact pushing the entire storyline just a little further, it seems that this may be the case with the Suicide Squad.

Fans already know that supermodel turned actress Cara Delevingne will play witch Enchantress in the movie, but website Heroic Hollywood has gone one step further and put it out there that actually, she might just be the first major female villain in a superhero blockbuster.

The theory follows that the team are sent on a mission to stop Enchantress resurrecting her dead brother and wreaking havoc, and it does make sense that she's the antagonist judging by the recent Comic Con trailer. Enchantress certainly seems up to no good, what with all that creeping around and bathing in bog in front of a pentagram.

Obviously this is all completely unconfirmed, with producers keeping what's actually going down as secret as possible.

SUICIDE SQUAD PLOT
A secret government agency run by Amanda Waller, named A.R.G.U.S creates a task force comprised of super villains, the "Suicide Squad". They are assigned to execute dangerous tasks in exchange for shorter prison sentences.

SUICIDE SQUAD COMIC CON TRAILER


Suicide Squad is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics antihero team of the same name. It is intended to be the third installment in the DC Extended Universe. The film is written and directed by David Ayer, and stars an ensemble cast featuring Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Karen Fukuhara, Jay Hernandez, Adam Beach, and Viola Davis.

RUMOR ... MAN OF STEEL 2 WILL FEATURE BRANIAC, BIZARRO AND SUPERGIRL!!!

Heroic Hollywood claims to have obtained unconfirmed details regarding the plot of a sequel to Man of Steel--not to be confused with Batman v Superman.

According to the rumor, the sequel would feature Brainiac as the chief antagonist, attempting to retrieve the codex of Kryptonian genes similar to General Zod. However, he sets his sights on Supergirl as his pathway to the codex instead.

The rumor goes on to state that Brainiac ultimately will create Bizarro from the small scraps of Kryptonian knowledge he does have, and use him against Supergirl to retrieve the codex. This is a ton of detail for a movie that is so early in its planning stages, though, so take it with a grain or two of salt.

Though CBS does have a screen incarnation of Supergirl coming this fall season, the movie Supergirl would be unrelated. DC intends to keep its film and television universes separate, as in the case of The Flash.

WHO IS BRANIAC?
Braniac is typically depicted as an extraterrestrial android. He is a principal foe of Superman and responsible for shrinking and stealing Kandor, the capital city of Superman's home planet Krypton. Due to multiple revisions of DC's continuity, several variations of Brainiac have appeared. Most incarnations of Brainiac depict him as a green-skinned being in humanoid form. He is bald, except for a set of diodes protruding from his skull.

The character's name is a portmanteau of the words brain and maniac, with influence from ENIAC, the name of an early computer

BRANIAC'S POWERS AND ABILITIES
Brainiac has a "12th-level intellect", allowing calculation abilities, enhanced memory and advanced understanding of mechanical engineering, bio-engineering, physics, and other theoretical and applied sciences, as well as extensive knowledge of various alien technologies. For comparison, the population of 20th century Earth as a whole constitutes a 6th-Level intelligence and the population of 31st century Earth as a whole is a 9th-Level intelligence. The character has created devices such as a force field belt and a shrinking ray capable of reducing cities. Brainiac's advanced mental powers have shown him capable of possessing others, absorbing information from other beings, transferring his consciousness, creating and manipulating computer systems, replicating multiple versions of himself, and exerting powers to traverse or control space and time. John Byrne's re-imagining of the character possessed telepathy and telekinesis that were further augmented by an implanted electrode head-piece.

The most recent version of Brainiac (a living Coluan who utilizes android "probes") is connected to his ship in such a way that he can be disabled for a short period if separated without warning. While inside his ship he is capable of fighting evenly with and overpowering the likes of Superman. He heals from injuries at incredible speed. After being separated from the ship he physically starts to deteriorate and is far less powerful. He is a biological creature that has altered his body to acquire more knowledge to become "better." With his ship, vast knowledge, and powerful technology, Brainiac has captured thousands of cities and has assimilated and destroyed just as many civilizations. He is considered one of the most powerful villains Superman has faced.

WHO IS BIZARRO?
Bizarro was Superman's deficient clone. He was a tragic figure and more misguided and manipulated rather than intentionally evil.

BIZARRO POWERS AND ABILITIES
Bizarro is depicted as having all the abilities of Superman, although in some incarnations several of these traits have been reversed, such as

• "freeze vision" instead of heat vision
• "flame breath" instead of freeze breath
• "vacuum breath" instead of super breath
• "Bizarro telescopic vision" which allows Bizarro to see a "short distance behind his head" rather than a "long distance in front of his head"
• "Bizarro microscopic vision" which makes objects "actually smaller to everyone" rather than merely "appear to be bigger to only the user"
• "Bizarro X-ray vision" which allows Bizarro to "only see through lead" rather than the ability to "see through anything except lead"
• "Telescopic X-ray vision" which caused Bizarro to shoot x-rays from his eyes from "fifty miles around".^[47]

This also applies to weaknesses, as Bizarro is vulnerable to blue kryptonite, as opposed to green kryptonite, which is lethal to Superman. Bizarro is actually strengthened by green kryptonite as opposed to blue kryptonite.
