It's not a trailer as such, but Warner has released a new video to promote next year's release of their superhero face-off Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's a fake viral clip that showcases LexCorp's new Operating System LexOS.
Jesse Eisenberg will play the villainous billionaire Lex Luthor in the movie, which also stars Ben Affleck as Batman, and following 2013's Man of Steel, sees Henry Cavill return to the role of Superman.
Speaking to MTV in July, Eisenberg explained why his portrayal of Luthor would differ from the pervious screen versions, in particular Gene Hackman in the 1978 movie Superman.
"There's an emotional core to the character," he said. "It's not a silly villainous character. It is an entirely different thing. Also, the tone of that [Superman] movie is so different. Like, that movie wouldn't be made now.
"The way we expect movies to be now is to have some kind of--I mean, it's probably for the best--there's some kind of psychological accuracy. That the person is coming from a place probably diagnosable in some way."
Legendary actor and box office king shares his experiences with Jared Leto for their upcoming superhero movie, Suicide Squad.
Pet rats and dyed green hair be damned -- this was the most method that Jared Leto went on the set of Suicide Squad.
According to Will Smith, Leto never broke character once the whole time they were filming, leading Smith to believe that he only ever met the Joker while they worked together on Suicide Squad.
Smith told Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 Radio interview about his (apparently out-of-his-mind) costar:
“(Suicide Squad) is insane. I’ve never actually met Jared Leto. We worked together for six months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’ … I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be ‘Hey, Jared. What’s up?’ … He was all in on the Joker.”
It's pretty in keeping with Leto's own description of his performance, which he talked about at a 30 Seconds to Mars concert in Dubai (via The National):
I can’t wait for you to see this – they’re going to lock me away in a box after this movie comes out.
After Smith's description of Leto's method acting on set, maybe he should be locked in that box now...
See Smith's full interview (his Suicide Squad deets start at 15:35) with Beats 1 Radio here:
Colton Haynes confirmed the the possibility that Roy Harper/Arsenal could return to "Arrow" season 4 and appear in "Legends of Tomorrow" during the AsiaPop Comic Con event in the Philippines hinting that he is just "one call away".

Everything you need to know about DC's Legends of Tomorrow TV series, including news, casting, and the trailer!
DC's Legends of Tomorrow is the superhero team-up show spinning off of the wildly successful The Flash and Arrow. This time, though, we're going to have a reality warping, time traveling twist to things.
Here's the official synopsis of DC's Legends of Tomorrow:
"When heroes alone are not enough ... the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?"
Executive producer Greg Berlanti is likening the tone of the show to some important cinematic touchstones. "I compare the shows to old Westerns; we have a lot of lone gunmen and sheriffs in town, and this one is very much an ode to things like The Magnificent Seven or those great heist pics like Ocean’s Eleven where you get all of those colors at the same time, and a true ensemble, and that was the fun of it...you want that Rat Pack-y kind of vibe of all this crew hanging out, as disparate and as different as they are.”
DC's Legends of Tomorrow Cast
The core cast is Brandon Routh (as the Atom) who will lead a new superhero team which will also include Caity Lotz (White Canary), Wentworth Miller (Captain Cold), Dominic Purcell (Heat Wave), Ciara Renee (Hawkgirl), Falk Hentschel (Hawkman), Victor Garber, and Franz Drameh (Firestorm). Doctor Who alum Arthur Darville will play the time traveling Rip Hunter.
White Canary is a character we don't know all that much about, which leaves the show plenty of room to make some changes as necessary. Caity Lotz commented a little bit on these:
"We want to make it different, there's going to be changes. She's still Sara Lance but there has to be repercussions for everything that she's been through, so I'm hoping we really get to play with that stuff...I would think that it's going to have a toll. Just like Thea went into the Lazarus Pit and we saw how it affected her, and Sara was dead for a long time so I feel like there's going to be a big shift."
That sounds about right.
Ciara Renee (Broadway productions of Big Fish and the current Pippin revival) will play Kendra "Hawkgirl" Saunders, whose official casting description reads...
"This twenty-something Latina is pretty but unassuming, book smart and socially awkward by day. But by night, when she hears the cry of battle, her fury is ignited and she becomes a fierce warrior — so much so, that sometimes she can become a threat to others."
Deadline elaborates on this:
"Saunders is a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When provoked, her ancient warrior persona manifests itself, along with wings that grow out of her back, earning her the moniker Hawkgirl."
And where goes Hawkgirl, there must also be Hawkman! Falk Hentschel will play the reincarnated superhero.
As for Rip Hunter, we first became aware of his existence thanks to this little casting description:
“THE TRAVELLER” | A Han Solo-esque rogue who gets by with his charm, this hero hails from the future, and has journeyed back in time on a secret mission. His razor-sharp wit hides the pain of a man who has lived through serious conflict. He also harbours many secrets, always leaving both his teammates and the audience unsure of his true allegiances.
The Wrap offers some more details, though, calling Hunter "a roguish time traveler who hides the strains of being responsible for history itself behind a facade of charm and wit."
Franz Drameh (Attack the Block) will play Jay Jackson, who will form the second half of Firestorm with Victor Garber's Martin Stein.
And yes, Jay Jackson is the character's real name. Anyway, here's the official word on him:
"Jay Jackson, a former high school athlete, whose pro-career was derailed by injury. Now making ends meets as an auto mechanic, Jay will come to have a surprising affiliation to the S.T.A.R. Labs crew."
Early casting breakdowns offered some additional info:
“MYSTERY HERO” | An African-American male in his twenties will fill the role of a regular, street smart guy who unexpectedly gains powers, and then, as part of the team, regularly quips about the insanity of the situations."
Vandal Savage is the big Legends of Tomorrow villain, and he'll be played by Casper Crump, who we'll also see in Warner Bros. 2016 live-action Tarzan movie. Like all the new Legends of Tomorrow characters, Savage will first be introduced during this year's fall Flash/Arrow crossover episodes, which will then set up the midseason arrival of the new series.
We have what sounds like an official casting description courtesy of THR, as well:
Vandal Savage is immortal, and has spent 6,000 years moving like a virus throughout history — influencing dictators and despots — all to set himself up for world domination.
A new (as in, not from the comics) character is Dr. Aldus Boardman, who will be played by Paul Francis James.
ComicBook.com broke the news, and they have the official casting description:
Boardman is "a Classics professor at St. Roch University, who has devoted his life to researching the story of Chayara (Hawkgirl) and Prince Khufu (Hawkman) and their link to Vandal Savage. Professor Boardman is our team’s only hope of finding Vandal and destroying him, so they can return home. But when the Legends learn a secret about Boardman, they insist on making him a part of their journey, only to learn the kind of sacrifice it will take to save the world."
Mr. Robot's Stephanie Corneliussen has joined the cast as Valentina Vostok, better known to DC Comics fans as the Doom Patrol's Negative Woman.
TV Line has what not only sounds like an official casting description, but a potential episode synopsis, as well.
Valentina is described as a gifted and beautiful Soviet physicist who will stop at nothing to defend her precious “Motherland.” When the Legends encounter her at the height of the Cold War, they suspect her of working with Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) on a secret weapon. Ray/The Atom (Brandon Routh) and Leonard/Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) must vie for Valentina’s affection in an attempt to thaw her cold heart, and find out where her allegiance truly lies -— before she completes her project and potentially turns the tide of the Cold War.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow Premiere Date
CW President Mark Pedowitz confirmed that Legends of Tomorrow will have a 13 episode order (although we're now hearing it will be 16 episodes) and it will kick off at midseason.
Michael Shannon made headlines in August when he told a bizarre story about getting locked in a port-a-potty on the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice set. He said he was unable to open the door because his costume involved him having “flippers” for hands. Shannon then backtracked on those comments, and said that he only did voice over work for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel sequel. Now he’s saying he just likes to make stuff up!
“Flippers? I think that might be a prime example of my scatological humor. People ask me a lot about Batman v Superman and I really don’t have anything to say about it, so sometimes I just make up stuff, which I’m sure Warner Bros. is really happy about,” Shannon told Screen Rant.
When asked if he has more of a role than just playing dead instead a body bag like we saw in the Comic-Con trailer, Shannon made up another story! “I run for President (laughs). Uh, no, you know, I think it’s better left unsaid. I mean, when does the movie come out?” March, Screen Rant replied. “Yeah, I don’t want to spoil it for anybody. Yeah, no comment.” said Shannon.
So there you have it. Michael Shannon admits that he loves to make stuff up in interviews, and now we have three different explanations on is role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Are any of them actually true? I guess we’ll find out when the movie hits theaters on March 25, 2016.
Check out Shannon’s comments in the video above at the 3:41 mark.
A new video has revealed a detailed look at the revamped Batmobile, that will appear in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The clip was released by Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood to promote a competition to win "the ultimate Studio Tour experience," and the video shows exactly what fans can expect to see Batman driving when the film arrives in March next year.
The Caped Crusader's new car bears some similarity to the tank-like vehicle that Bruce Wayne drove in Christopher Nolan's Batman films, but with a sleeker look that is reminiscent of the classic design of previous screen Batmobiles.
Earlier his month, Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder addressed rumours that Ben Affleck's Batman would feature more heavily than Henry Cavill's Superman in the new movie. "It's a different Batman than the Batman that was in the Chris Nolan movies, so we have a little bit more explaining to do," he said. "But I think only in that way, because you need to understand where Batman is with everything. And that's more toward the beginning, but it evens back out as it goes on."
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will open on March 25, 2016. It also stars Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, with support from Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Jeremy Irons, and Laurence Fishburne.

In Man of Steel (2013) the world sat and watched in horror as Superman killed General Zod in one of the most epic scenes in superhero cinematic history! Shocking and astounding that Kal-El, the ultimate good guy was capable of taking a life....
Looking back however, were his predecessors, Christopher Reeves and Brandon Routh, also guilty of this and if so what would the body count look like? The guys over at Mr Sunday put together this nifty video called the SUPERMAN Movie Kill Count Supercut, have a look below...

PRODUCTION DETAILS In January 2015, Greg Berlanti stated that there were "very early" preliminary talks for an additional spin-off series centered on Ray Palmer / Atom (Brandon Routh). In February 2015, it was reported that a spin-off series, which is described as a superhero team-up show, was in discussion by The CW for a possible 2015–16 midseason release. Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Marc Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter would serve as executive producers. The potential series would be headlined by several recurring characters from both Arrow and The Flash, including Ray Palmer, Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller) and Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber). Caity Lotz is also mentioned to be among the main cast. There is potential for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new series, and the series is casting "three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series
To thank fans for 10 years of animated movie parodies and alternate endings, the folks at How It Should Have Ended went all out, producing a star-studded sendup of Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video.
Called — what else? — “Bat Blood,” it lays the groundwork for the face-off between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, along the way dropping perfect lines like “Band-Aids don’t fix building holes.”
“We wanted to make a big montage like celebration video,” HISHE explains, “so when the original ‘Bad Blood’ video dropped and it was full of cameos (old and new) and scifi action movie galore, we could not help but feel inspired.”
CBS has released a new behind-the-scenes Supergirl video spotlighting the brand-new series and what sets it apart from other superhero television.
Melissa Benoist leads the cast of Supergirl as the title character with a cast that also includes Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El, Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant, Chyler Leigh as Alexandra “Alex” Danvers, Jeremy Jordan as Winslow “Winn” Schott, Jenna Dewan Tatum as Lucy Lane (sister of Lois), Iddo Goldberg as Red Tornado, David Harewood as Hank Henshaw, Peter Facinelli as Maxwell Lord, and, in mystery roles, Dean Cain and Helen Slater.

The hooded vigilante returns in the fourth season of Arrow and judging by the brand new trailer, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) has upgraded his crime-fighting costume.
This is the season that John Diggle (David Ramsey) will finally get a super suit with a mask.
The trailer also reveals several returning characters such as Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) also known as The Canary and new characters such as underground criminal Damien Darhk (played by Neal McDonough) and occult detective John Constantine (played by Matt Ryan).
“The Flash” is speeding back to our screens on Oct. 6, and The CW has released a new trailer previewing the debut of Teddy Sears as Jay Garrick, best known to DC Comics fans as the original iteration of The Flash, who made his first appearance in Flash Comics #1 back in 1940. In The CW’s sprawling superhero universe, Jay will introduce our Scarlet Speedster, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), to the concept of alternate universes — beginning with Earth-Two, as the show’s producers revealed at Comic-Con.
As usual, Cisco (Carlos Valdes) manages to nab all the best lines in the footage as Team Flash gets to grips with the possibility of traveling not just through time, but through the Multiverse. Viewers can also get a glimpse of former WWE star Adam Copeland (aka Edge) as DC villain Atom Smasher in the promo.
New faces joining Sears and Copeland in “Flash” season two include Keiynan Lonsdale as future speedster Wally West; Shantel VanSanten as Patty Spivot; and, as Variety exclusively revealed, “Candyman” star Tony Todd as the voice of new villain Zoom. “The Flash” and “Arrow” will also introduce numerous characters ahead of their spinoff series “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” bowing at midseason, including Casper Crump as immortal villain Vandal Savage, and Falk Hentschel as Carter Hall/Hawkman.
The CW previously teased Jay Garrick’s arrival with an image inspired by the iconic comic book cover “Flash of Two Worlds” from The Flash #123, which introduced the concept of the DC Multiverse and Earth-Two for the first time in 1961.
“The Flash” season two premieres 8 p.m. on Oct. 6 on The CW.
I bet the thought of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Toy Story being mashed up never ever occurred to you did it? Thought so but in any event the people at CineMash have taken the audio from the Batman V Superman trailer and combined it with Toy story to give us a very humorous take on the very serious upcoming superhero movie!
Woody is portrayed as Ben Affleck's Batman/Bruce Wayne, which works perfectly as Woody was initially apprehensive of Buzz Lightyear like Bruce is of Henry Cavill's Superman. Too bad Toy Story 4, which will arrive in 2017, won't be anything like this. That'll be a love story involving Woody (Tom Hanks) and Bo Peep (Annie Potts).
The gloves are off and its hero against hero in the upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), and of course we all have our favourite as to who will win the fight. Personally it's a no-brainer but Superman has all the strength he needs to defeat Batman but if anyone had ever read a comic or watched an animated movie where the two are pitted up against each other then you would know that in the end it is Batman who almost always wins.
We know Hollywood can spin a good story and I'm throwing any assumptions and any ideas regarding the outcome out the window. Stephen Byrne has made this animated short to show us or perhaps give us an idea on the outcome of this ginormous superhero battle, watch it below and see if you agree....
I certainly never pondered who would have more screen time, Superman or Batman, but honestly after reading about this rumour I'm more than curious. Well both characters have their strong fan bases
Heroic Hollywood reports a source close to the production claims Affleck’s performance as Batman is overpowering Cavill’s time on screen. Warner Bros Studios allegedly wants the production to include more Batman scenes in the film.
The Batman vs. Superman movie production hasn’t commented on any of the behind-the-scenes rumors, but we know the script is solid. Lex Luthor actor Jesse Eisenberg recently reiterated how amazing the script is during an interview with Today Show.
"Yes, it is like the most incredible character," Eisenberg said. "It was written by this guy, Chris Terrio. This is like his first movie after Argo. He's just this brilliant writer of characters. So this movie is not this kind of cartoonish superhero movie. It is very serious and well-acted, well written, well directed movie. It's really phenomenal.”
Warner Bros Studios also didn’t want to rush the Batman vs. Superman movie production. Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara also confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter the film’s release date delay was a solid production move. Tsujihara assured fans Warner Bros Studios is confident in the way the film has turned out since they announced the delay.
“It was a tough decision at the time because it was going to create a hole in 2015,” Tsujihara told The Hollywood Reporter. “But it was absolutely the right decision for the franchise, for DC and the movie. Having seen the movie multiple times, and again last night, I’m extremely confident it was the right decision to make the movie better. And it’s so important for the studio to get the foundation right on DC.”
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice starring Affleck as Batman, Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman hits theaters March 25, 2016.
Perhaps with all the hype around the Batman and Man of Steel / Justice League movies, we've kind of been slack toward the upcoming Suicide Squad movie... who knows but when you look at the pure star power of this movie alone, there's no question that it may well eclipse the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice epic about to hit screens in March 2016.
The release date for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), March 25th, is fast approaching and the excitement amongst fans could not be greater than at this moment! That's said a lot of footage from this years comic con has opened our eyes to a new world where Batman Superman and the rest of DCs universe co-exist as only director Zack Snyder can provide for us.
Trailer....check! Posters..... check! So right after seeing all this material, director Zack Snyder has decided to give us a picture of the new Batsuit which Ben Affleck will wear in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Set your clocks because while the world is going crazy for all the upcoming Marvel superhero movies, DC Comics Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is slowly edging towards its 2016 release date set for March 25th.
