I know a lot of you were excited for her, but apparently, in an odd twist, Jena Malone has been cut entirely from the theatrical run of the movie, and will appear (alongside extended fight scenes and other secret cameos that also serve to hint at the future of the DCEU) in the R-rated version only:

I guess that I won't be seeing this on the big screen, i'll wait for the DVD. Still, this part...

"[snip] the character serves a clue to what the future of the DCEU holds."

... gives me some hope for future films.

Just read an interesting article - could be a coincidence, but the timing is pretty outstanding. In it, it says that BvS:

Doesn't specifically state who is the owner of Robin's costume, or something like that? Or perhaps it alters the mythos and it's the costume of someone else? Now I'm wondering if Malone is actually supposed to be suited up in the outfit we've seen in the trailers.

You see, now I don't know what to expect. ;)

I actually haven't seen a single frame from BvS, only pictures.

It is hard to express what seeing this movie for the first time will mean to me.

I have been a Batman fan forever. I think I "read" my first Batman comic books with 5. Later I became obsessed with The Justice League.

The two JL movies that are in the works will probably be the cinematic high point in my life. I just hope I will not have a heart attack of excitement.

He looks like an action figure.

BvS I hope will be a good film, I think its a given there will be awesome imagery.

Thunderfinger

I see on various talk show clips everyone calls it "Batman vee Superman".

What the intercourse? I always read it as "Batman versus Superman".

Because it's a 'V,' not a 'Vs.' in the title, so for some reason, people don't understand it and simply pronounce the 'V.'

It is Licence Revoked all over again.

Batman V Superman doesn't mean Batman 5 Superman??

Thunderfinger

Eisenberg sounds like someone pushed the fast forward button.

Gal Gadot as Camille Montes?? http://www.etonline.com/news/183931_gal_gadot_reveals_she_auditioned_to_be_a_bond_girl_while_studying_to_be_a_lawyer/

Who should play Batman? IMO Jeffrey Dean Morgan

(A version of the character similar to the one in Frank Miller's "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns")

What villains should be used? I don't know--maybe Hugo Strange.

Thunderfinger

Hugo Strange would be good. Or Clayface.

Well, he'll be playing Thomas Wayne in the film, and in at least one alternate universe he is Batman, so there's that.

Jena Malone's character in the film has been confirmed, it seems. Spoilers as to who she plays are in the link:

MajorDSmythe

I know only the basics of that character, but as a fan, I feel that I should do some more research.

The movie needs to make roughly $800 million to break even:

BondJasonBond006

A movie needing 800 million to break even is just wrong on every level.

I see Empire magazine has only given Batman v Superman - 3 Stars.

Says: The super-showdow has its moments, not least the titular face-off, which makes the whole enterprise worthwhile, and introduces an intriguing new Batman. But it's also cluttered and narratively wonky; a few jokes wouldn't have gone amiss, either.

As an aside, the movie will include the revised Batman creator credit that includes Bill Finger, who came up with about 95% of the original Batman mythos.

Link? I thought there was still an embargo on reviews.

About time Thunderbill got his due credit.

chrisisall

When this film underperforms can we get a bright costume for Superman & no slicked back hair for the next movie?

Risico007

It's not going to it will make a billion dollars!

Batman and superman in a film for the first time!

As for the next superman film can they move past Luthor and Zod please

What is annoying is I fear batman is following the same path. Batman be the joker again and again

Why can't mad hatter hush or anyone else be the villain I would take egg head at this rate!

Thunderfinger

And we need to see Brainiac on the screen.
