Wayne Industries not Wayne Enterprises.

Umberto Gonzales, the guy that leaked stuff about super heroes movies is on one of the amc movie talk show.
I though that the people that leaked stuff would get caught but he showed his face.

Not how that works.
When you leak you can be "prosecuted" three ways: 1. Breach of contract; 2. Tort / Civil; 3. Blacklisting.
When leakers ask to be anonymous it is because they are under contract- either an employment contract or NDA- that obligates them to not leak materials or suffer punishment that they agree do by signing the contract and accepting work / payment that gives them access to confidential materials.
Someone like Umberto is not under contract to protect information, but instead he entices people to break their contracts. He pays them, or hooks them up, or compromises them until they tell him their secrets, which puts them in breach, but so long as Umberto never gives up his source, arguably no one will find out. Umberto can be sued for causing economic damage or enticing people to break their contracts, but it's a tough case to prevail on because there are laws protecting journalists and proving damages can be tough. Nonetheless the studio is sometimes forced to sue simply to make an example out of someone, even if they don't anticipate prevailing the legal costs of defending oneself is still a tax.
Lastly, most studios engage in horse-trading with journalists, agreeing to provide exclusives if the journalist will hold off on a story so they can control their marketing campaigns, etc. If someone leaks too much without first communicating with the studio, they can get blacklisted and it may limit their access to future events, stories, and employees (if there's a studio-wide alert: "Meet with so and so and you're fired").
Most journalists / studios play ball... if they don't, it doesn't really cost the studio that much money to put private investigators on your ass 24/7 until they identify the leaks... so there's a polite push and pull. If a journalist goes too far- like publishing an unreleased blockbuster's script- you can expect them to more or less be done.

Good lord that Bat Suit looks insane.

I like how the synopsis for the fuckin' CAR is longer than the synopsis for the movie.

I still think the doors on the Batmobile flipping up is stupid. The doors should open like this.

Still disappointed they didn't go white eyes on the bat suit. Seriously, it's not so hard to white out his pupils, say he has contacts in which allow him digital imaging like we always see in the comics.
Beyond that, Wondy's heels, and Supes' awkward non-belt, these costumes are on-fucking-point.

The suits look fantastic. The new Batmobile's OK but I preferred the Tumbler.

I like this batmobile more, especially after seeing the innards. The cockpit looks fictional but not camp.
It's for licensing mainly... and you can sell merchandise on a tangible car more easily than the vagaries of a plot.
Just for some perspective, here are some past official synopses, all vague, short, and many containing misdirects or outright errors!:
The Phantom Menace said:
Days of Future Past said:
Age of ultron said:
The first official "synopsis" for MOS released for licensing was just, "A young itinerant worker is forced to confront his secret extraterrestrial heritage when Earth is invaded by members of his race." Ironically, the later synopsis included errors like saying Clark was a journalist...
The Man of Steel said:
At least for now, less is more?
Nah.
The disappearing door is over-designing for a non-existent problem while introducing a whole host of problems on its own. There's far less to foul-up with a piece of metal on a hinge- than doors that need to move on motorized precision rails- for a vehicle that's apparently expecting to undergo attack.

Despite loving the Nolan films I never had any love for the Tumbler, mainly due to its shape. Looks ugly imo. This Batmobile is the perfect blend of the '89 Batmobile and the Tumbler. Its great.

It was basically a tank. I think that's why I liked it.

It is a problem if Batman ever intends to open the Hatch while the Batmobile is moving the door will be ripped right off.
New art from El Mayimbe
I dunno, it looks like they wanted to go with the hand drawn graffiti aesthetic, but it looks too polished.
And it looks like they're really taking the criticisms of Man of Steel to heart. "Superman destroyed Metropolis!"
New art from El Mayimbe
That seems fake as hell. Using the same picture that Zach Snyder tweeted on a wanted poster, gives off the feeling this is fan art and not official.
Well, Superman himself said he want to fight Doomsday

also that open pod from MoS
John Campea in panic mode and it wasn't about Gal Gadot this time.
I thought it was clear that there was gonna be a real "bad" dude as the villain that will have them work together to beat and show to the world and Batman that Superman is needed and Wonder Woman will not be there to to kick Bats or Supes.
Also, Campea need to know that Darkseid is/should be the real challenge for the entire JL.
Campea always thinks he knows best and tries to present himself like he does. If you don't agree with what he says a lot of times he keeps trying to hammer the point he's trying to make in the hopes those around him change their mind and follow him. He was trying to here with this. That's what his Gal Gadot hate felt like and the thing I liked is that no one fell for it. He appeared to constantly get push back on it or those around him on AMC didn't fall for his bait and he was the only one constantly attacking her. It actually devolved into insults. It was straight up uncomfortable for a while there whenever he tried to comment on her because of he was doing it. I like to think he was called on it by higher ups (he does answer to some people) because he just stopped what he was doing in regard to her and drastically changed how he spoke about her even if he kept disagreeing with the casting choice. It's really a night and day change.

He must seriously be mistaking Doomsday. Doomsday is the perfect villain to throwaway in the second act. It's good to see people discussing possibilities rather than comparing to Marvel and ranting about tone that seems to draw in clicks.
The open pod is Kara's. It's precised in the prequel Comic from MoS.
But in my opinion they could scrap this canon comic because it takes place thousands of years before MoS, so Kara should be pretty old if not already dead.

Is HH just drawing these himself now to create news?
Two new posters/promo art focused on WW
Diana centered as she should be
this needs to headline all promotion for justice league
Yeah, they're pretty obviously remixes of the art we've already seen... doesn't mean the remix couldn't be officially created, but it does give the feel of either fan art or something solicited.
This is the first thing since the launch that he hasn't watermarked and I wonder if that's because the source is more suspect.
Still neat to look at.

Some more heroic hollywood *rumors*
Aquaman theory plays well with Waller having his trident. I don't think that gives it any more credence though.

Thread worthy?
I wonder if he is a gamer or just got a PSP to see what his movie look like as a game.
speaking of game, WB should've really let one of their studio make a Batman v Superman game. (WB montreal were doing nothing since Arkham Origins)
nah

Just saw that. Reinforcing what Collider had said earlier, looks like DC's show will be huge.
What I'm really interested in is if Rock will be at SDCC
. I should try tweeting him.I blame it on being moved to community. It's where threads go to die.

It's been a dry well, I consider it a blessing because squad was leaking too much for me.
I just hope we get a lot of new projects besides the movie like a YJ-style cartoon show for the league.
