Didn't realize Supes' boots were made of crochet.
Dunno if this was shared in the ComicsGAF thread, but DC started up a dedicated "DC Fans" YouTube channel last week.
Pretty much nothing there at the moment, but I'll be interested to see the kinds of things they end up sharing.

Not much, but more evidence to support the rumor about the GL Corps movie being a buddy-movie with both Hal Jordan and John Stewart.

Which Lantern gets the League spot? That's what I want to know.
My wish is an old Hal and young John, with Timothy Olyphant as Hal.

I think that if they could pry Nathan Fillion away from Castle (and get him to lose the weight he's put on), he'd be perfect for an older, more experienced Hal.
I think the first Justice League won't have any Lantern.
I also don't think Cyborg will be a cyborg in BvS or Justice League (at least until towards the end).
Based on nothing of course, just a hunch.
I think they're going to save the first Lantern appearance for the second Justice League movie, and then the Corps will show up en masse to help take down Brainiac/Darkseid/whoever the big cosmic level threat is.

Latest rumor was Hal/John, but I'd like to see Guy/Kyle. I don't hate Hal/John but neither of them seem to bring anything to the table personality wise that isn't already there. Meanwhile Guy is more of a firecracker and has an abrasive personality. I like Kyle's compassion and his take on constructs.
I think that depends on what they do with Cyborg. They already put it out there that Cyborg would get his own movie. It besides Black Panther will be one of the two modern super hero films staring a black actor. A first for DC films. Where as before there was Blade but people don't seem to count that for some reason and that always annoys. I get though that it's not apart of the MCU.
If they take that status away from Cyborg and they make that film a Teen Titans film (which I think is more marketable unless Cyborg blows up in popularity with Justice League) which is being rumored they can't go back on that stance of having a film with a black lead in THE staring role. They would be rightfully raked over the coals. If they switch the character they are doing it with then they're fine. You can then center Green Lantern around John and make it clear he's the main character. Or you can try to drop in Black Lightning if it's not to late and spin him off if he goes well. Same with Vixen.
If they somehow keep Cyborg I see Hal getting the main focus in the GL movie and John getting the Justice League spot.
Honestly though I'd rather have John and Guy. They're the two most interesting human Green Lanterns to me. I still thing there is way to much crap attached to Hal's name. I really hope Geoff Johns does not get his way and pushes Hal.

The thing that holds me back from not wanting Hal Jordan is his story with Sinestro. Sinestro's story and corps is such a cool aspect of GL mythology and he's heavily tied to Hal Jordan. While they could easily insert any of the lanterns as the rookie who becomes Sinestro's partner, a part of me doubts they'll do that with Johns on board their creative council. I think Snyder said he was a fan of Hal too, but I don't know how much weight he carries.
One possible theory: Hal will be the Green lantern in Justice League Parts 1&2 - but they'll plant a seed about the Guardians wanting him to have support because of whatever inevitable cosmic threat the League takes on. Then for the Green Lantern Corps film (which really won't be that much farther way by the time Justice League hits) half the film will be based around John Stewart's New Earth origin and building his relationship with Hal:
Then by the end of the film Jordan & Stewart have defeated whatever obstacle the third act throws at them and they become bestest buddies.

Who knows really. The trailer was cut all over the place.
that seems like reaching
I agree 100%. Buddy movies work when characters have some personality to them. Hal/John are both fairly flat whereas Guy or Kyle have much more personality to them. Even Guy/John or Kyle/John would work better than Hal/John.

What they'll probably do is steal some of Kyle's personality and give it to Hal. So then you get the somewhat laid back but experienced Jordan contrasted with the serious and inexperienced Stewart.
I really like the idea that Hal's been a Lantern for a while even as the events of MoS are happening, and the reason why Earth (and Earth's sector) gets a second Lantern is because it's clearly going to be such a trouble spot.
Never heard of him. Hit Google, saw pic, and immediately thought Hal Jordan.
He's been casted in BvS as a drone pilot and there was this picture presumably from the set of BvS
Yup. That certainly looks like young Hal.

We knew about Aquaman. Flash we weren't 100% on but good to know.

Wasn't there a gotham vs metropolis football game scene recorded? I'm sure he's one of the players. He probably won't get his suit until JL though.
I think Amboyer is Hal as well. So that's all the league members besides Billy, assuming they're using the new 52 league lineup.

Huh, so that is

Then... what's with the

really a dream sequence
Then... what's with the
Parademons
When Terrio rewrote Goyer's script that scene was scrapped. All we know is Victor Stone has a cameo but we don't know the context.
This part interested me.
"Already on the panel, Wilkinson talked about Lex Luthor, revealing that the look of the villain will evolve over the other films in DC."
So maybe Lex won't end up bald in BvS but rather in the next Superman solo movie.
Wouldn't make much sense since they already revealed Eisenberg's Bald Lex way back

Ezra Miller, allegedly, described his costume post-apocalyptic. I've been speculating he inadvertently revealed himself in the Knightmare scene. Which, the demons lend credence to being a vision of the future, not a paranoid dream of Batman.

I would squeal like a girl so yes.
This movie is so packed. What a trainwreck. Batman v Superman: Rush to the Justice League.
I'm glad Barry Allen isn't going to bulky. Never did understand why a superhero with super speed is muscular and bulky when he shouldn't be.
We have a skinny Barry Allen on the CW show. He looks fucking awful.
The Flash is a speedster. His body pretty much has to be a perfect specimen.

Most people would agree that Man of Steel's biggest issue was its script. They replaced Goyer with someone more competent that has an Academy Award to show for it.
