It's been a big week for spies that have infiltrated the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" set. First we had some set pics of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne with lots of gray around the temples, and now there is even more news from the production. If you want to stay in the dark on the production, this may be considered a "spoiler" for those fans avoiding news about the film.
Batman-on-Film.com has the scoop about some potentially very cool details that will be included in director Zack Snyder's massive production. If true, one of these reports continues to set up the future "Justice League" movie that will happen after "Batman v Superman" is released. In fact, Snyder will be the director for "Justice League" as well, so it makes sense that "Batman v Superman" will be setting up the story for the long-gestating superhero team movie from DC. Here are the scoops:
Aquaman is apparently definitely in the film, and the production conducted some tests on a water set in the past few weeks. Actor Jason Momoa is set to play Aquaman, but his role in the 2016 film will reportedly be a very small one. We already know that Cyborg is in the film as well as Wonder Woman, which looks to make the film a launching pad for the "Justice League" movie.
This weekend, the production will venture into some car chase scenes, but it is reported that the Batmobile will not be in the mix. There is no word yet as to where these scenes will be shot, but the smart money seems to be on Detroit. According to reports, shooting in Detroit is set to run through the end of the summer. After that, the production will move to Chicago in October, which was the template for Gotham City in the Christopher Nolan Bat-trilogy. So with that rationale, it can be deduced that the film will have both Gotham City and Metropolis featured.
As far as the pics of Affleck with gray hair is concerned, the scene is rumored to be of Bruce Wayne saving people after an attack on Metropolis that causes quite a bit of destruction. The final tidbit from the website has also reported that the film will have a very "anti-Superman" theme running through the narrative and people marching in the city streets to protest against the Kryptonian. This is likely society's response to the devastation featured in "Man of Steel."
More details of the film will be trickling out in the coming months, but the release date for the film is still a long way off.
