Ezra Miller to Play “The Flash” in “Batman v. Superman,” and I Don’t Care

(As you may be able to tell, I have lost all ability to mask my disdain at all things DC movie universe. But on with the article… )

Ezra Miller (“The Perks of Being a Wallflower”) has been cast as the Flash for an appearance in “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” but it is still unknown as to what capacity we will be seeing any of the second tier JLA-ers in. Miller’s casting also has led some non-disillusioned fans to speculate as to which of the men to bear the mantle of the Flash he will be playing.

In an age where anybody with a smartphone can become Paparazzo, it’s getting tougher and tougher for studios to keep things under wraps. Case in point, Instagram user armandarakjian uploaded this photo for all of the Interwebs to gawk at:

 

First look at Batmobile and Ben Affleck as Batman

Zack Snyder had teased an image of the Batmobile yesterday saying that he might unveil it today.  Snyder unveiled the Batmobile with Ben Affleck standing next to it in the Batman suit.

Couple that with a teaser-ish image the director Tweeted out yesterday, showing the Batmobile from the back…

The images look interesting, if nothing else.

The Batmobile looks like a sporty tumbler, so I see Nolan’s influence is still a thing.  There might even be a touch of “Batman: The Animated Series” in there, from the look of the hood and the windshield. While Affleck looks good in the suit, I still have my skepticism about him pulling off the role.  Of course, one image isn’t enough to sway any of the Fangirls to Team BatFleck. We’l have to at least wait for some trailers for that.

But, hey, no Bat Nipples in sight!

What do you think of this unveiling of Batman and the Batmobile?

 

Michael Wilkinson talks about the Wonder Woman costume

Michael Wilkinson has been asked about the costume design for the Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie.

“It’s so important to get her right. She really deserves to be presented on-screen in her full glory. So what I do is I look at the history of how the character has been presented on the big-screen, and the small-screen, and in comic books, and graphic novels. We process it all. Then we kind of put that aside and work out what is right for our film, for the cinematic universe that our director Zack Snyder is putting together. We try and create a Wonder Woman that’s relevant for today’s audiences.”

This definitely helps confirm that they are planning on doing a Justice League movie because there would be no other reason to get her costume right otherwise.  I am happy that they are looking at all of her incarnations in order to create the costume.  I know many of the fans are trying to figure out what costume they are going to use for her.

Wilkinson was asked if it was realistic to have her fighting crime in her typical costume.

“Absolutely! I mean, you just have to look at the gladiators from ancient Rome, they did their thing in little loin clothes and a shield….It works for Thor, it works for 300, so let’s see what happens.”

I am not sure how I feel about that comment, while I appreciate that he is not trying to limit Wonder Woman because she is a girl.  The costumes and characters that are mentioned are all male.  At the same time Wonder Woman is female and let’s be fair women are looked at differently when it comes to fashion.  While those costumes, work for the male characters it might not work for a female character.

I guess we will have to wait and see.
