Report: “Justice League” live action film finally gets a writer…

Welp, as I predicted in the past, due to the success of “The Avengers”, I had a feeling Warner Bros., is going to move forward with the, “Justice League” film. Warner Bros., hired writer, Will Beall to write the script, but he was hired secretly last year. It’s no secret anymore!

Anyway, I’m really looking forward to the “Justice League” movie, and I am hoping, just hoping that Henry Cavill will still play Superman, Christian Bale will still play Batman and Ryan Reynolds will still play, Green Lantern. I’m sure Warner Bros., will do all they can to get those guys together.

As for who to play the Flash and Wonder Woman? I don’t know.

I thought “The Avengers” was an incredible flick. Could, “Justice League” top it? With the right director and right script, they could. I’m sure WB’s will do all they can to get Christopher Nolan involved too.

Cool Video: Why Zack Snyder and crew are quiet about details of “Man of Steel” movie…

At the L.A. Times “Hero Complex” convention event over the weekend, Zack Snyder the director of “Man of Steel”, the new Superman movie appeared on stage to have a live chat with “Walking Dead” creator, Robert Kirkman. While they talked a lot about zombies and comics, Robert, kept bugging Zack about details for “Man of Steel”. As you can see in this live interview, Zack was tight lipped about “Superman” plot points throughout the whole thing.

There are plenty of fan discussions on the internet being disappointed on Zack being silent on, “Man of Steel”. Why is Zack being so secretive of the new Superman movie? Well, it’s a Christopher Nolan movie. Nolan is the mentor and producer of the film. Nolan loves to keep all of his movies secretive. When Nolan did the Batman movies and “Inception”, he was secretive on all those movies but once in a while, he will release a photo or a little teaser to get feedback or hype up the movie.

I remember a while back, Hans Zimmer, explained why Nolan is secretive on his movies, read about it, here.

I agree with what Nolan is doing. Why spoil the surprises and excitement before the movie comes out? Nolan is doing a good job keeping spoilers private as best as possible. These days, every Hollywood movie wants to reveal everything before the film comes out. Nolan is one of the very few who doesn’t like to reveal everything. He’s definitely one of those, “Wait until the movie comes out”, type.

I’m sure Zack would love to talk about the plot details and everything else in “Man of Steel”, but he can’t. I’m sure he had to sign some kind of agreement paperwork that he’s not allowed to talk about anything outside the studio. If Zack did start talking about stuff about the movie, that could get him fired or sued.

Enjoy the interview below.

Report: Warner Bros. getting closer to winning full copyrights of Superman…

The lawyer for Joe Shuster, and Jerry Siegel, Marc Toberoff, got a huge slap in the face in court during this long nasty battle on, “Superman” copyrights, against Warner Bros. The First Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit, ordered Toberoff to turn over stolen documents that were taken in 2008. The papers were stolen by David Michaels and delivered anonymously to Warner Bros.

Read more on the story, here.

I don’t think, this means that Warner Bros. has full control of Superman now, but it’s in the right direction to get there. They’re getting closer, I think. I don’t know a whole lot about this legal bullshit, but I want Warner Bros. to get the full rights.

This Marc Toberoff, sounds like a sleazy lawyer, anyway. While I’m sure some are siding with the Siegel’s, I’m siding with Warner Bros. on this one. Warner Bros. worked hard on Superman for years, so they don’t deserve to have the Superman rights taken away from them.

I love the Superman character and the stories. Big fan. It would be sad if the rights gets taken away after years and years of entertaining Superman fans.

I understand that the rights should go to it’s original creators, the Siegel’s, but they already agreed to sell the rights to WB’s years back. That’s what WB’s trying to prove, I think.

Finally, the official, “Man Of Steel” facebook page is online…

Warner Bros. finally put up their official facebook page for the “Man of Steel” movie, directed by Zack Snyder. Proof that it’s Warner Bros. page? Check the new S shield logo at the top. That’s never been released before anywhere. Could that be the possible teaser poster?

See the official facebook page of “Man of Steel”, here.

That’s where they’ll be posting the trailers, posters, movie stills, news, etc.

I’m really praying they did a good job with this movie, and I hope Zack doesn’t mess it up. I want a really good Superman movie like everyone else. I hope this is a Superman movie that we’ve all been wanting for years. A great Superman movie told with heart and plenty of action.

The Superman franchise tries their best to come out with a great movie but fails every time. Hopefully this film, will make everyone walk out of the theater with smiles on our faces, and that’s what we want out of a Superman movie!

More on that mysterious face on “TDK: Rises” Bane poster…

Some guy in a Superman fan forum in facebook, did this photo, trying to prove that mysterious face on the, “TDK: Rises”, Bane poster is a reference to Superman.

There are still a lot of people that say that the mysterious face is nothing and not Superman at all, but I believe it is.

That’s the whole point of the mystery, I guess. Christopher Nolan is a creative genius, he knows how to get people talking about his movies.

Is Superman’s face mysteriously hidden on the “Dark Knight: Rises” Bane poster???

This website, comicbook.com, was the first to discover this before anyone else noticed it. The first “Dark Knight: Rises” poster where we see Gotham City crumbling and falling apart, you see the Superman S shield on one of the buildings.

In the new “Dark Knight: Rises” poster with Bane, you see a mysterious hidden face that could reference Henry Cavill as Superman. You can see the mysterious Superman face slightly beside Bane’s head in the poster.

I’m sure many of you would call it a fake and photoshopped but if you look at the “Dark Knight: Rises” official site, the mysterious face is still there. The mysterious face was definitely put there intentionally. Is it Superman’s face? Probably, because the way it is shown it is shaped like an S shield. If you look at the vertical version of the poster here, you see the mysterious face in a different position, it’s between the letters “E” and “G, in the word, “Legend”.

What’s with all the Superman mysteries in the Batman posters? Could this mean that Superman is in, “The Dark Knight: Rises”, in some way? If so, that would be pretty fuckin’ cool, if Superman was in “TDK: Rises”.

It doesn’t surprise me that Superman could possibly be appearing in the next Batman film, since both the new Batman and Superman movies are being made at the same time. Batman and Superman have teamed up for years in comics and animated movies. It’s time to team them up in a live action movie, which was long over due.

Report: Nic Cage’s stolen “Superman – Action Comics No. 1” sold at auction for $2.1 million…

Actor Nicolas Cage, is a huge comic collector. That is his second passion outside of acting in film. He’s a big superhero fan like most of us. His Superman “Action Comics No. 1” was stolen from him way back in 2000, and it was later found in an abandoned storage locker. The comic from the locker has been recently sold for a whopping $2.1 million. Don’t believe that this could be Nic Cage’s comic yet, ’cause there is no confirmation or proof that it could be his.

When Nic finds out who the buyer is, I feel a big lawsuit coming and he could try to get it back. You may ask, “What’s so special about a comic? Why don’t he leave it alone and move on?” Well, comics can be extremely valuable. The older ones anyway. If taken care of. I’m sure the comic that Nic had is worth millions, way more than 2.1.

I’m not sure what Nic will do. He could forget it and move on, but I see him wanting it back. I just think he’ll fight for it.

Cool Photos: Henry Cavill goes shirtless on the set of “Man of Steel”…

When photos of the new Superman suit have been released, Henry have been accused of having a fake muscular physique. People claimed the muscles were part of the costume design. Well, here’s your proof that Henry really is jacked.

I believe they’re filming in Alaska in these pics.

You see, folks, in my own bodybuilding world, that’s the kind of physique I’m going after. Perfect example of what I want to look like. Nothing too big, just a medium built, like Henry’s.

And Henry does look natural in bodybuilding.

See the rest of the pics, here.

Cool Photos: See Henry Cavill and Amy Adams on the set of “Man Of Steel” in Alaska…

The cast and crew left Chicago while filming, Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” a few weeks ago, they are now filming in Alaska.

The pics above is a fully bearded Henry Cavill and the redhead Amy Adams filming, the next Superman flick.

See more pics, here.

The more I see behind the scenes pics of, “Man of Steel”, the more I begin to think it’s “Superman: Begins”, much like, “Batman: Begins”. Look like Clark Kent will start off with a full beard in the opening scenes of the movie.

I’m more looking forward to seeing pics of Michael Shannon as, General Zod. They haven’t shown us yet.
