Wouldn't be surprised if they added more bat characters.
They're probably casting Poison Ivy as we speak

Above all else, this is what gives me the most hope.

Thank god they cast a star big enough that he could refuse to work with a Goyer script.
I like to imagine Affleck walked into the office for his first meeting, laughed after reading the script, and immediately got Terrio on the phone. When Goyer tried to object, Ben just pointed at his Oscars and continued with his call.

Affleck walked in with no trousers on. Penis was Oscar. Goyer was fired the next day.

Goyer came in one day and found a post-it note with "You're a monster, Goyer, and I'm going to stop you. --From Batman" on it.
Worse yet is that Optimus Prime is narrating a trailer for that.....film.
OH MAN IT IS HIM. Before those dumb bay movies sucked the life out of him and now he's all great Grandpa Prime now.
That trailer is great, what you talking about?

Name is no good. Movie will deliver.
This is how I'm gonna picture it now... Actually
I always imagine Goyer movies the same way
He hands in a script and they tell him going to use it with some edits... and just drop it in the trash when he leaves

I love this scenario.
Well Goyer is a great ideas man. You can't fault him for that. In fact I'd be pretty happy if he's involved with DC properties as long as there is another writter adapting the story.
EDIT: Btw is BvS the first superhero movie with a writer that won an Oscar?
Dude's still in meetings going "But...I made Blade..."
Goyer really needs someone to collab with. I'm sure whatever ideas he left for Terrio to work with are great, but not having him write the actual script is a good move. In the case of Man of Steel, I think there was also an issue of Goyer being the wrong match for the material. I think he understands what makes Superman work to some degree, but it's just a complete mismatch for his tendencies and inclinations as a writer.
Well for MoS he said he was basically writting a first contact movie, which is a great interpretation of Supes origin, but he has never really written anything sci-fi. In fact, the best of works are much more grounded like Blade and the Dark Knigh Trilogy (where he also only provided ideas).
So much distance that Nolan is going to space.

Like I said in this article: It doesn't really matter what it's called. Nobody goes to a movie to watch the title.
The logo's doing all the heavy-lifting, regardless.
Nope. Although most of his work was rewritten by Tom Mankiewicz, "Superman: The Movie" was partially written by Mario Puzo, who won an Oscar for The Godfather and The Godfather Pt. II.
Also, it happened AFTER his movies, but Akiva Goldsman (Batman Forever, Batman & Robin) is an Oscar-winning screenwriter, too.
Spider-Man 2 is the only superhero movie written by a guy who won a Pulitzer, though.

This is the most believable rumor I've seen associated with Latino Review in months.
Then why call it anything at all?
Nobody thinks the title is going to negatively impact the box office, it's just something to like or dislike.

How about "The Film Formerly Known as Batman v Superman."

See, I'm saying what you're saying, but I'm trying to be goofier about it.
"Why call it anything at all" is kind of a weird question.
Cool, so basically two superman movies written by Oscar winners but this is really the closest we get to an Oscar writter writting a superhero movie. That's nice.

Jim Lee has drawn more than one version of Batman
the pseudo prequel to Dark Knight Returns
This comic was so awesome. Would love to see it at least animated. Asshole psychotic Bats was just a riot.

I really expected to see some leaked shit by now,

The movie is two years away from being released, I doubt there's too much to leak at the moment.
Well they started shooting
So script pages (should be finalized) some concept art of locations or something
There's a ton to leak
Been keeping it quiet
Never thought about this angle. Good point. Either way, it's a title. Makes no difference to me. I'm there day one!

I just mean set pics of the suits, Batmobile, etc.
I expected them to reveal the Batsuit literally the day before they expected pics to get out.
Well we kinda saw the Batsuit and Batmobile already. I hope we'll get to see WW in costume soon and then finally the modified Superman Costume.
Razgriz-Specter

I still want to see the color of the suit though, and the Batmobile driving around Detroit will be awesome.
Superman we should probably see soon, Wonder Woman they will draw out for so long imo.
The last two weeks we got a Batsuit/mobile reveal and the official title. Here's hoping we get something next week.
I imagine the modified Superman suit will be shown next. With Wonder Woman possibly at SDCC.
I think it's brilliant that they grey-scaled the reveal and hope they continue with that trend for the other two initial reveals. I can't believe how much boring speculative discussion and impassioned fury can be generated by color palette. This far out, I don't want there to be six months of "Brighter!", "No, darker!", "Here are my modified versions no one cares about!" until the next tidbit of news. By grey-scaling, most of the discussion has been about the design itself and it lets everyone imagine their preferred palette for now.
Of course, that discussion eventually needs to be had, but I hope it gets quickly supplanted by more salient stuff, so that's why I'm hoping for a colored version later when they have more to show and drown out that stuff.

I'd bet money South Pacific being used for Paradise Island.

He wrote the script for Batman Begins. I read it a year before the movie came out, and it's almost identical to the final picture, aside from Bruce willing to give up the mantle for Rachel at the very end.
That was my first thought as well.
Africa made me think of Gorilla City, but I don't think we're going there anytime soon
