Krypton: SyFy reveals March 2018 premiere date and new preview pics

Before a certain Man of Steel came to Earth and became one of the world's greatest heroes in the DC Universe - there was his home planet and his predecessor who fought to bring order to his family and society. That will be the basis of SyFy's upcoming new show "Krypton" - which takes place two generations before Kal-El's birth and will focus on his grandfather Seg-El - as he gets an unexpected visit from the interstellar human time-traveller Adam Strange and is warned of the impending doom of his own planet. How this will play out and affect the destiny of the future "Last Son of Krypton" remains to be seen.

According to SyFy's official website, Krypton is set to premiere on March 21, 2018. Whether it ties to the DCEU or not, or is an alternate event in itself remains to be seen. The show is executively produced by David S. Goyer - who worked on Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman. Expect more to the legend when the show hits early next year.

Krypton: First promo trailer for Syfy's upcoming show released

Since it was announced to be in production with The Dark Knight Trilogy and Man of Steel writer David S. Goyer involved in the project, Syfy's upcoming television series "Krypton" hasn't been updated much bar from the official logo for the film released by the network. That all changes now, as the very first promo for the upcoming TV Pilot has been released, giving viewers a glimpse of the story set about 200 years before the birth of Superman and involving the grandfather of the hero in "Seg-El" - who fights to redeem his house and save his homeworld from chaos.

UPDATE: The YouTube link is now down, so you can check it via Comic Book.com.

No release date has been revealed for "Krypton", but it will hit sometime in 2017 based on the promo's announcement.

Rumor: "Mad Max" director George Miller may direct "Man Of Steel 2"?

Rumors are swirling in the Hollywood grapevine each and everyday, and the latest one as reported by ComicBook.com is pretty interesting - as Mad Max film franchise director George Miller is being rumored as the director for "Man Of Steel 2" according to "The Death of Superman Lives" documentary director Jon Schnepp.

Jon Schnepp Guests! NBC's Powerless, & RIP Yvonne Craig - DC Movie News #39 (August 20th, 2015)
In the latest episode of PopCorn Talk in YouTube, Schnepp weighed in the rumor without saying much or expounding on where he got that bit of information. It's an interesting rumor to say the least, since Miller was once primed to helm a Justice League film of his own in "Justice League Mortal" years ago which would have seen the likes of Armie Hammer as Batman and DJ Cotrona as Superman. Now with "Mad Max: Fury Road" a success and everything else open in terms of the future, is this Warner Bros. giving the director a shot at the DC Cinematic Universe? Only time will tell.

For now, catch Henry Cavill back as Superman as he takes on Ben Affleck's Batman with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - coming to theaters on on March 25, 2016!

Man Of Steel: Giving a color treatment to the 2013 DC Cinematic Universe film

A lot of things started when Zack Snyder launched the DC Cinematic Universe and rebooted the Superman film franchise with "Man Of Steel" in 2013. Many have mixed opinions about the film, and it was pretty dark and lacked a bit of color to boot.

Nearly two years later however, VideoLab has done a video where they've digitally colored bits from the film and made it more lively than ever. C/o Superherohype, Take a look at the video below!

What if Man of Steel was IN COLOR?
The sequel to Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, hits theaters on March 25, 2016!

A report has surface that WB and DC are geared to reveal at this year's San Diego Comic-Con their plans for their DC Cinematic Universe schedule through 2018, which lines up not just the already confirmed "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" film already in production and slated for May 2016 and announced Justice League film, but also a Shazam, Wonder Woman, Sandman, a Green Lantern/ Flash film, and even a direct Man of Steel sequel in "Man of Steel 2"!

Finke also says that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will feature cameos by not just Wonder Woman and Cyborg, but a new Green Lantern and The Flash! Also, Aquaman is reported to appear in Justice League, completing the line-up seen and generated by The New 52 Justice League reboot launch title.

Teasing the long awaited reveal of something greatly associated with a certain Caped Crusader, director Zack Snyder has teased via Twitter the partially revealed look of the new BATMOBILE that Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne will use as his alter ego Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel and 2016's as of yet untitled "Batman Vs Superman" movie.

Rumor: Ben Affleck's Batsuit for "Batman Vs Superman" and Gal Gadot as "Wonder Woman" reportedly debuting next week

Since the official casting announcement last year led many to have various mixed reactions, a lot of people have been anxiously waiting to see the first official photo of actor/ director Ben Affleck donning the cape and cowl and suiting up as Batman for Zack Snyder's upcoming sequel to his Superman reboot flick "Man of Steel", which hasn't been officially titled and is still going under the common alias of "Batman Vs Superman". Opposite Henry Cavill's Clark Kent/ Superman, Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/ Batman, and the characterization is said to be a Bats in his 40's and bearing a similar role to that of an older Dark Knight in Frank Miller's seminal classic Batman story - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Despite the mixed reactions, Affleck's friends and fellow stars Kevin Smith, Matt Damon, and even wife Jennifer Garner have seen him in the suit, and gave nothing but positive remarks for it.

Let's not forget that also joining the Man of Steel and Caped Crusader is Fast and the Furious franchise star Gal Gadot, who was before the end of 2013 as Wonder Woman. She, along with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth round up the big line of characters appearing in this mega sequel, so patience should be a virtue.

Hoever, excitement is building over word that the very first photo of Affleck as Batman and Gadot as Wonder Woman may appear before the end of February, as the delay from 2015 to 2016 for "Bats Vs Supes" has pushed production to a longer filming schedule. The news comes from Mark Hughes, a Forbes Blogger who tweeted the following:

Okay, fans, get ready, a bat-suit & WW reveal seems to be imminent, as in possibly days away!
— Mark Hughes (@markhughesfilms) February 11, 2014

Since it can only be taken as a rumor, we'll just have to wait and see if this indeed pushes through and we get our first clear looks at the new Dark Knight and Amazon Princess for the potential DC Cinematic Universe Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are planning! For more information, visit the source post at Batman-News.

"Batman Vs Superman" is now slated for a May 6, 2016 release

Batman Vs Superman: Warner Bros. pushes back film to May 6, 2016

Some very disappointing news has arrived for fans looking forward to the as of yet untitled "Man Of Steel" sequel with a working name "Batman Vs Superman", as Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment officially announced that the film will not meet its July 17, 2015 release date, and instead head for a May 6, 2016 release instead.

The reason, according to an article in Superherohype, states:

"the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story. The decision was made following the shift of the start of production to second quarter of this year."

And the full press release can be read via "Batman-News", which includes a note that Ben Affleck, who plays Batman/ Bruce Wayne in the film, injured his leg which delayed production.

Now that is a big BUMMER for those who were looking forward to a big year in 2015, which would not only have included this next DC film, but a ton of other heroic films and features as well, such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Star Wars, and Jurassic World. "Batman Vs Superman", which would see Henry Cavill reprise his role as Superman/ Clark Kent, meets Batman/ Bruce Wayne played by Ben Affleck, putting the two iconic heroes side-by-side or against one another for the very first time in film. Fast and Furious star Gal Gadot was also cast as Wonder Woman/ Princess Diana of the Amazons, and the film is directec once more by Zack Snyder.

Expect the "Man Of Steel" sequel and seconf film in the DC Cinematic Universe with the new release date of May 6, 2016.

Remembering 2013!

It's been a long and somewhat unpredictable 2013... And while much of it has brought its fair share of ups and downs, there's no denying that plenty of things in the popculture category that happened and need to be reviewed and listed as per annual tradition!

So before we welcome the big 2014, let's see what happened back in the year before us...

Batman Vs Superman: Denzel Washington being rumored for the role of Green Lantern John Stewart

Now this can be taken with a BIG Grain of Salt since this is a rumor... But it's pretty interesting to say the least for a casting choice on Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's upcoming Man Of Steel sequel for 2015, the yet untitled "Batman Vs Superman" movie that now has Wonder Woman in it!

With plenty of rumors abuzz suggesting that other heroes and villains may appear in the upcoming superhero film, the one lingering and interesting theory was that Academy Award Winning actor Denzel Washington would be up for a role in the film, and early reports suggested he'd be an African-American version of Superman's eternal arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor.

That doesn't seem to be the case now however, as a new scoop according to Nuke The Fridge and posted by Screen Rant suggests that Mr. Washington may not play a villain, but rather a hero... And that's Green Lantern John Stewart!

Batman Vs Superman: Gal Gadot is officially your new Wonder Woman/ Diana Prince, and why it could work

The news has broken out courtesy of Warner Bros. and it's very much official: The Fast and The Furious franchise's own Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman/ Diana Prince in director Zack Snyder's as of yet untitled "Batman Vs Superman" film which acts as a sequel to this year's Man Of Steel! The news comes straight from DC Entertainment and Warner Bros, so fans officially get to see the pairing of DC's own heroic Trinity on the big screen on 2015, as Gadot joins Henry Cavill's Superman and Ben Affleck's Batman!

On the casting, Snyder has commented:

"Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character."

Batman Vs Superman: Ben Affleck calls Daredevil a regret, and won't compare his Batman to Christian Bale's

Many were surprised a few months ago by the announcement that Argo director and actor Ben Affleck had been cast as the new Batman/ Bruce Wayne for Zack Snyder's as of yet untitled "Batman Vs Superman" film that acts as a sequel to this year's Man Of Steel, and a wave of mixed emotion still reverberates around the interwebz over the news.

However, the actor has responded to those reactions, following an interview with Playboy Magazine, which was featured in Latino Review and posted in Slash Film:

"I understand I’m at a disadvantage with the internet. If I thought the result would be another Daredevil, I’d be out there picketing myself. [laughs] Why would I make the movie if I didn’t think it was going to be good and that I can be good in it?"

Speaking on Daredevil, the actor went on to say it was the "Biggest Regret of his career".


"The only movie I actually regret is Daredevil. It just kills me. I love that story, that character, and the fact that it got fucked up the way it did stays with me. Maybe that’s part of the motivation to do Batman."

And while pre-production has begun for the 2015 film, there has yet to be any official stills or footage showing Ben in the Batsuit, or his persona as Billionaire Bruce Wayne. Affleck went on to assure that playing the new Batman is to "redefine him", and "will not compete with the Bale and Chris Nolan Batman but still exists in the Batman canon". This collaborates with rumors that the Batman Affleck will be play will wear a "Black and Grey" color scheme like the comics, and will be a "40 year old plus" hero who encounters Henry Cavill's Superman.

Report: Warner Bros./ DC Comics legally wins sole ownership of rights to Superman

After years of long court cases and discussions, Warner Bros. has won another major and possibly final decisive battle this November 21st, as Deadline reports that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed earlier judgements that state that the company is the sole copyright owner to the character Superman and all of his derivatives, including the recently released film reboot helmed by Zack Snyder, Man Of Steel.

The case loomed in through a series of legal battles due to controversy surrounding the original deal made between WB/ DC Comics and the creators of the character, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The deal gave Siegel and Shuster's heirs a lifetime sum in exchange for rights to the character, but those terms were challenged and brought to court over the years. Recently and almost a year ago, the court ruled in favor of WB/ DC over the Siegels. Now, the Shuster case has been decided similarly.

In what has certainly been a big year for the character thanks to his new movie and the celebration of his 75th Anniversary, now the world knows for certain that the rights are no longer challenged, and WB/ DC owns Superman legally.

Batman Vs Superman: Possible movie names pop up with registered domain names

Looks like fans speculating on the "real" title for the yet unnamed "Batman Vs Superman" film for 2015 will have some guesses coming up, as a report from Fusible, Superherohype, and Batman-News reports that Warner Bros. has registered

Here's the lowdown:

There’s been a lot of debate over the official title of the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film scheduled to be released in 2015. This week, Warner Bros. secretly registered a host of possible titles through the internet brand protection company MarkMonitor. Now, it’s likely the debate is going to get more opinions. According to the latest domain registrations, possible titles include “Man of Steel Battle the Knight”, “Man of Steel Beyond Darkness”, “Man of Steel Black of Knight”, “Man of Steel Darkness Falls”, “Man of Steel Knight Falls”, “Man of Steel Shadow of the Night”, “Man of Steel The Blackest Hour”, and “Man of Steel The Darknness Within”

So how do you like the sound of "Man of Steel: Knight Falls" or "Man of Steel: The Darkness Within"? Doesn't sound too much like a real name to clinch on the epic battle and first meeting between these two iconic DC Comics Heroes, but it could be a tie-in instead, like a video game or promotion. In fact, the recently released Batman: Arkham Origins had a similar beginning in domain name registrations for its name along with other speculations months back, so let's wait and see what the official title is in the future. For more information, visit the source post at Fusible, SHH, and Batman-News.

"Batman Vs Superman", the sequel to Man Of Steel directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, comes out on July 17, 2015.

Batman actor Christian Bale comments on BatKid and Ben Affleck

This past week, the world was touched and reminded that heroism and dreams can come true, as a 5-year old "BatKid" was granted a Gotham City of his own to stop the bad guys, set in good 'ol San Francisco by the efforts of the city and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It made widespread news, and was even able to catch the attention of a former Batman star and actor from Christopher Nolan's epic Dark Knight Trilogy, Christian Bale.

Via Superherohype and during an interview with Access Hollywood, Bale goes on to comment about the charity event.

"I just think it's great. It's a great day for the little guy. I just think Make-A-Wish and San Francisco did such an amazing thing to organize that. You just think of the delight in that little fella's heart, running around doing that. Then also as someone who has played Batman, it's great to see that the symbol of Batman is so much bigger than any one person, than any film, than any comic book, any TV series, that's really what it's all about. It's irrelevant which actor is playing it, we're irrelevant in that sense. But for little Miles to have such a great day is just delightful."

Then, Bale went on to talk about his successor, Ben Affleck, who will be starring as the new Caped Crusader opposite Henry Cavill as Superman in the "Batman Vs Superman" 2015 film that acts as a sequel to this year's Man Of Steel. He went on to say this:

"I wish him all the best. He's a very experienced actor and filmmaker and he'll make it his own. Our thing's finished, we've always declared it was finished and it should be passed on to another actor and it will be again after him."

A video from the interview was shown with Bale talking about Affleck:
