I'll take some female Robin. Whatever gets thrown in here will be pulled off fantastically by Snyder.

nope nope nope nope. dick grayson or bust.
and, hopefully he only took design inspiration from TDKR. like i know snyder loves frank miller but do we really need to shit on superman already when he's only had one movie as an introduction.
if they're basing this off of her having red hair, assuming she's in the movie at all, couldn't she be Barbara?
I'd have to imagine if they're going to have a Robin, they're going to use Dick or Tim, with maybe an allusion to a dead Jason.

Blah, adult Cassandra Cain(Wayne at that point) or nobody!
Still think we will see Nightwing or he will at least be referenced in the movie .

Did Bruce end up adopting everyone? I know Dick did in a legal sense but Tim said thanks but no thanks because he was still mourning his biological father. Is his dad still dead in the nu52?

If you guys don't want to watch the clips, El Mayimbe, take it with a grain of salt, said that Chris Terrio just turned in a draft of JL.
It is said that at the end of BvS the villain for JL will be set up and that villain is
Brainiac. The set up for him coming to Earth is the beacon that Supes set off on Earth, that attracted Zod also was heard by Brainiac.

Another shot of the cowl. It's on display at the NYCC:
This doesn't seem implausible. I'd go as far as to say 'likely'. He's a big visual villain, potentially a real global threat, while still letting DC's "big bad" gestate for later.

You know im not sure, New52 really shit on Tim though.
I know in pre New52 he even said he was going to adopt Cass as well but then he "died"
And it wasn't referenced for the short time she appeared before New52 wiped her out.

I've been on this train too. Just saying.
Tim's parents are in witness protection and his name isn't Tim Drake.
I'm guessing Bruce has adopted him. But Tim stole from Lex Luthor and (used to) use one of his penthouses as his living quarters. Then The Titans used Danny The Street as a homebase for the team.

Hmmm, I was hoping you were joking, prayed you were kidding, but I know enough to know better. I looked it up. Oh man, oh god oh boy. what are they doing with my favorite characters?
Teen Titans was actually pretty good for a while. Then got bad. And is picking up slightly. Not as good as the Johns stuff, but still.

when J'Onn J'Onnz came to Earth he took on the identity of John Jones a police detective from Colorado(also white) he's also a shape-shifter so it doesn't matter.
I assume you are referring to the J'Onn from Smallville?
yeah he adopted Tim after a while. pre Nu-52.
Pre-52 J'onn had dozens of identities. In the 52 comic he was a white guy for six months. He's even been a cat. He's like Mystique, just poses as whatever's best for the situation at hand. Which makes it colour-blind casting - you can cast anyone as J'onn, and have him shapeshift a good five or six times per film.

I always loved the paradoxical idea of the loner Batman forming a family for himself, pre-Dan Didio editorial days.
Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Alfred. Then came Damian Wayne and Jason Todd came back, and much later on maybe Carrie Kelley and Terry McGinnis would come into Bruce's life.
Plenty of books were Batman could be the loner. We could have our cake and eat it too. I wonder how good are the Batbooks now, anyone have an opinion?
A lot of them are good. Batman, Batgirl,Grayson, B&Robin, Eternal and Batwoman are all good different takes on the current Batfamily.

The main MM identity has traditionally been white.
I think Bruce Wayne/Batman is portrayed as someone who fears getting close to people because he doesn't want to lose them, but at the same time knows those people are stopping him from becoming a monster. Not that he's a bad man, but the whole point of Robin is to remind him there's good in the world. Alfred and Bruce are these two men broken by tragedy, but they keep raising these lost teenagers and making them into people who aren't defined by tragedy.
The best thing the New 52 has done, IMO, is make Jason Todd a genuinely heroic character again. Sure he does morally ambiguous stuff, but all the scenes with him and Bruce/Alfred/Tim are beyond perfection - the idea that they'll never give up on him, no matter what. Same with Damien Wayne. I hope the film explores that, that Bruce Wayne died in the alley, but the second he teamed up with Robin Bruce Wayne was born again.

The timing seems perfect for Injustice 2 to land in 2016. I really need to pick up year two, I enjoyed year one a lot.

Batman proper is god tier. Detective started crap and got better, having occasional moments of greatness. Dark Knight was meh, Batgirl was too grimdark (this new arc starting at 35 is good so far), Batman and... Is great, Nightwing was meh. Avoid event tie ins like the plague.

First trailer when? Comic con? Maybe sooner?

Unknown at this point. They may just throw up that Comic Con 14 teaser clip to a big holiday movie. I wouldn't expect a real trailer until at least next year's Comic Con. Think they're done filming around that time.
I watched that teaser again just a few minutes ago. So good. Hypes me up every time.

Yeah I agree.
Best Lois for me out of all I've seen regardless of someone liking Smallville or not.
Smallville made a lot of great casting choices, and Durance was one of the best.

Yeah if they just ended up using it as a teaser for Holiday blockbuster this year, so that a quality web version is released, I won't complain. So damn good.
Truly was. It's a shame that she never elevated past her role on Smallville.

Oh man am I not a fan of that, can't even stand the new costume.
Aren't they filming Justice League right now too?
GentlemanCrow

It's been rumoured but remains unconfirmed. In all likelihood I can see them filming some scenes for Justice League during BvS's production .

It will probably be a cliffhanger, yeah..

Whaaa? I love the more lighthearted tone of it all. Gail Simone is such a great writer, but her arc was nothing but month after month of torturing Babs. Hated every issue (especially the event tie ins). This arc should be kinda nuts
imposter Batgirl? ghost in the machine?
And the new costume is fantastic. I love the diy look. Plus, no boob cups! But to each their own.

Another shot of the cowl from NYCC. Looking very Adam West inspired, from the front.
