New "Batman vs Superman" news intends to resolve issues left behind by "Man of Steel."
There's new "Batman vs Superman" news which should ease fans' anxieties toward the DC crossover (and Justice League prequel). A source insists many of the scenes on the new movie will resolve issues left behind by "Man of Steel."
Collider reports the new movie pegs the Man of Steel as the typical Boy Scout, and will ensure battles leave as few casualties as possible. This is in light of the "Man of Steel" fight scene between Superman and General Zod at the end of the movie, which practically destroyed Metropolis, and reminded images of 9/11.
An initial draft of the Batman vs Superman script made it to a source, who insists the Man of Steel "no kill" conviction will play out in the movie, more or less.
"When Superman confronts a big bad guy and unravels his plot, he tells the villain, 'I won't snap your neck, I'm going to take you to prison,' an on-the-nose response to criticisms of the first movie.
Superman will move the battle away from populated areas because he's a hero, and that's what heroes do."
The new "Batman vs Superman" news also insists Superman as the lead in the film, compared to the Dark Knight. Batman (played by Ben Affleck) arrives at Metropolis in the wake of Superman (Henry Cavill) and General Zod's fight. Consequent events are set years after Man of Steel, with Superman and Lois Lane (Amy Adams) settled down and resuming their jobs on The Daily Planet.
In related news, casting calls were made to take the role of young Bruce Wayne, searching for a 12 year-old Caucasian boy with knowledge of martial arts.
"Midthunder Casting is conducting a talent search for a Warner Brothers feature film which will heavily feature two young boys in SAG principal roles; one Caucasian 12 year old boy (to portray a young Ben Affleck) and one Caucasian 10 year old boy.
Both Boys must have extensive WUSHU, KUNG FU, or PENCAK SILAT training and experience; however, they will consider high level (state - world champion) competitors in all martial art forms." (cinemablend.com)
New "Batman vs Superman" news confirms both characters' intensive development for the movie, which slated for a March 25, 2016 release date.
