Any actor who has ever been associated with Batman in any way can look forward to being asked their opinion on the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman in the coming months. We’ve already heard Adam West provide Ben Affleck with a helpful personal hygiene tip.
Now, we have a former Robin weighing in with his opinion. In an interview with ET Canada, Chris O’Donnell, who played Robin in Batman & Robin and Batman Forever, voiced his support of the Ben Affleck casting. O’Donnell said, “I think it’s great. I think Ben will be a great Bruce Wayne.”

O’Donnell added, “He’s been on huge films before. Ben knows what he’s doing… I think it really raises the interest level for that movie — not that there wouldn’t already be — but there’s a huge section of the movie-going population that is really going to be interested in that film now because Ben’s in it, especially coming off Argo.”
In addition to thinking that Ben Affleck will do a great job playing Batman, O’Donnell also mentioned that he could see Affleck eventually directing a Justice League movie.

 there have been  ridiculous rumors that were squashed the  next day about timberlake being robin which thankfully were false. but you know that old adage where theres smoke theres fire.. could Robin Possibley Be in MOS2 I Sincerely hope SO, if this is a War torn batman , hes already been through everyong all his villains are there SO Robin Should be there as well and we don't have to go through all the origin nonsense! WB BRING ROBIN BACK!!

YES FIRST NOLAN GONE! NOW BEN AFFLECK TO HELP WRITE SUPERMAN BATMAN SCRIPT WITH SNYDER AND GOYER! PERFECT AWESOMNESS!!

According to indiewire.com Ben Affleck wouldn't take on the role as Batman unless he had some control over the script. This sounds like AWESOME news considering Ben Affleck wrote The Town and Good Will Hunting. So if Ben really can get to co-write with Goyer perhaps Ben Affleck's casting as Batman/Bruce Wayne won't be as bad as many are BSING ABOUT!..  Source; http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/be-affleck-is-the-new-batman-in-snyders-superman-batman

Christopher Nolan

Superman vs Batman

The pair - who served as producers on this year's Superman reboot - were thought to be on board for Zack Snyder's sequel, which will see Henry Cavill's character meet Batman.

It was pointed out by The Playlist that Nolan's name was "conspicuously absent" from the latest press release for the superhero movie.

However, Box Office Mojo's Ray Subers responded on Twitter: "@ThePlaylist "On Friday WB told me the Nolans were still EPs. But I agree, it is very odd that they weren't in the press release."

CONFIRMED: Ben Affleck Has Signed On For Multiple Films; TAKE THAT HATERS! Production On BATMAN/SUPERMAN Begins In February 2014

Earlier this week I reported that Ben Affleck had signed on for a "huge" contract deal. This contract would allow cameos from Affleck's 'Batman' in such films as Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Flash etc. The list goes on. It has now been confirmed by Collider, that Affleck has in fact signed that whopper of a contract. Although this contract rumour wasn't really a rumour considering Affleck is playing the Goddamn Batman, it's still nice to see that Ben isn't "too mainstream" for contracts. Another new detail regarding the film's production date, Collider also reports that the film is set to begin production in February of 2014. This is really exciting news, if the film begins production in February, and we are in late August now, when could we expect a Lex Luthor casting? If I were to make a good estimate on when we'll find out who the new Lex is, it'd guess around October, early November. I think it's inspired casting!!! I'm fully on board this, I cannot stress enough how much I love this casting! 

Batman/Superman (working title) Is set to hit theatres everywhere, July 15th, 2015

ETHAN HAWKE TO BE BATMAN IN MAN OF STEEL SEQUEL? he was up for the role in SHUMACERS FOREVER!

Ethan Hawke Up For Batman Role In Batman Vs. Superman? It Wouldn’t Be His First Shot At Batman.

 

" itemprop="thumbnailURL"/>

In the future, every actor will be rumored to play Batman for at least 15 minutes. When news of a Batman Vs. Superman movie was first announced, everyone seemed to be assuming Warner Bros. would be looking for a younger actor to play Batman for several years. All the initial rumors seemed to revolve around up and coming young stars.
However, when rumors surfaced that Warner Bros. was actually looking for an actor in his late thirties or early forties to play an older Batman, the casting rumors rapidly changed. The latest rumor suggests that Ethan Hawke could be up for the Batman role or at least some role in Batman Vs. Superman.

According to a fan site called DC Warnerbros (not the actual Warner Bros.), one of their contributors has said that Ethan Hawke was seen meeting with Man Of Steel director Zack Snyder and Man of Steel executive producer Thomas Tull in Wisconsin (no explanation as to why they chose to meet there). However, with Ethan Hawke seeing a resurgence in his career, it wouldn’t be surprising that Snyder and Tull might meet with him.
What is a little more surprising is that the site’s source also indicated that Hawke might be up for the Batman role. Ethan Hawke is 42 years old, so he would fit the age range that Warner Bros. is reportedly seeking for the role.
While we might be tempted to pass on this rumor, given all the various actors being tied to the Batman role, there is one other thing that makes us think there could be something to this story. In an interview with Details Magazine back in 2011, Ethan Hawk revealed that he previously was offered the Batman role, but he turned it down, which he later regretted doing so. Hawke said, “Now I wish I’d done it, because I could have used it to do other things.”
Could Ethan Hawke be getting a second chance at Batman?

BREAKING TYLER HOECHLIN UP FOR BATMAN IN SUPERMAN/BATMAN!

Exclusive: Tyler Hoechlin Up For New Batman; Screen Test With Henry Cavill; Plot For New Superman/Bats Movie

 

• 
  

Last Saturday at Comic-Con following the Warner Bros. panel, attendees were graced with a surprise visit by Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and Harry Lennix announcing the next Superman movie. 

Lennix read text from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel, and then a Superman/Batman logo was revealed to a stunned audience.
The audience quickly erupted with cheers of enthusiasm as Snyder revealed that the new Batman will be a part of the sequel to Man of Steel.
Our DC Entertainment source who provided us with first draft script details for Man of Steel, which included mention of LexCorps in the Metropolis skyline as well as the bus scene with Lana Lang witnessing a young Clark Kent using his super powers, has sent over some information on the upcoming as-of-yet untitled Superman/Batman movie.

Our DC Entertainment source also previously provided us with information on the Batman reboot, which was said to be in part based on the popular Batman Arkham video game franchise. That now looks to be adapted into the recently announced Batman: Arkham Assault animated movie slated for 2014.

We're told Warner Bros. didn't go forward with the Arkham adaptation because they want to get both Batman and Superman out into the cinema quickly. Also, that Snyder and Goyer plot-wise initially didn't have Batman vs. Superman, but since WB wanted to move things along they essentially are combining two films in one, with the movie having been in pre-production for a couple months (merchandising underway as well etc.). We're told, "Snyder is really loving building the DC Cinematic Universe."

Regarding the new Batman, Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf, Lincoln Heights, 7th Heaven, Road To Perdition) is being heavily considered for the part and will be getting a screen test alongside Henry Cavill. Warner Bros. and Snyder are looking at somebody to play the new Batman with a reputation similar to Cavill's, when Cavill was testing for Superman. It's also said that better known actors could also be testing for the role. As filming is expected to begin in early 2014, screen tests should be happening soon. 

WERE  also told that the Superman/Batman movie will features villains (in the plural), with it currently thought that the Joker and Lex Luthor team up; however, the source said the villains are only known by a select few, but Luthor is all but guaranteed.

Regarding the plot of the film:
"The sequel is set a year after Man of Steel, and the world is still getting used to having this powerful god on the planet who isn't fully trusted by everybody. Batman certainly doesn't trust Superman. Superman doesn't trust Batman; either of which causes the two to clash when they initially meet. They do however pair up to defeat the villains (not 100% confirmed who the villains are). COULD be Luthor and Joker, but only a select few really know that. Luthor is definitely in the sequel and he doesn't like Superman, believing him a threat to the planet."

Previous to Comic-Con there was also rumor of a Justice League movie and a film for The Flash; however, Snyder only announced Superman/Batman.

We've been told there is a lot in the works being built up to Justice League, which will take place after Superman/Batman with The Flash possibly spinning out of that (the previous rumor said Flash before JL). Also, expect a lot of Easter Eggs to the Justice League members in Superman/Batman with characters like Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern getting referenced.
Our DC Entertainment Source also says it looks as if the Justice League movie will feature the DC Comics New 52 characters, which could mean no Martian Manhunter, but Cyborg.
