Check Out The New Batmobile From JUSTICE LEAGUE
With news of Willem Dafoe and Fast 8 co-star Kristofer Hivju confirmed for roles in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Justice League, more details are beginning to roll out about what the director has in store. Much of this has to do with a change of pace from the grim and gloomier tone of its predecessor, Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice which faced a massive mix criticism partly founded on its shortcome box office results.
And so, this week we’ve got some cool gems coming out, including a few from Live For Film which also contains, among other things, a picture of the new Batmobile. Cameras are still rolling ahead of the film’s November 17, 2017 release but if it’s true and the studio actually makes its Comic Con appearance next month as it has been reported in the past few days, fans are going to be in for some real exciting reveals on top of those already rolling out, including a new photo of the Batmobile which you can view below.
SYNOPSIS:
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Ben Affleck will ride the Batmobile once more following his upcoming return in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad this August, while Justice League joins him, Dafoe and Hivju along with principles Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher among those rolling out of Warner Bros. for its DC cinematic universe now in progress. The film will mark the first-ever debut of the superheroic team with second Justice League installment also in the works.

The Batmobile Gets A Fresh Face In A New Photo From The Set Of BATMAN V SUPERMAN: THE DAWN OF JUSTICE
The Batmobile has evolved immensely over the years between many designs since its hey day as a live-action concept built from a Lincoln Futura. Well, it is 2014, and evolution has far from fallen short of expectations since director Zack Snyder has taken the reigns to bring DC Comics to the big screen with the forthcoming release of Batman V. Superman: The Dawn Of Justice.
The fanfare behind this movie is immense, even long after the hate from nitpickers of the interwebs moaning over the idea of Ben Affleck playing the title role as the Dark Knight himself for this go-around. Pics are now going viral like hotcakes all over social media, with Instagram users sharing pics of their own from the set, most recently being that of the brand new Batmobile design for the new film which also stars Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman.
To note, many of these pictures are being removed from their original posts, possibly at the request of the studio. That said, the only official photos seem to be streaming mainly from Snyder‘s Twitter account. As such, the director revealed a fresh new picture of Batman’s new vehicle, and it is looking real healthy!

Anything mostly from here on out is a step forward in the right direction. Snyder is taking two years to get this right ahead of the film’s release on March 25, 2016, tying into its next three, Justice League, Man Of Steel 2 and a standalone Wonder Woman film, and with Snyder confirmed to direct Justice League, so far, I’m hard pressed to complain. Man Of Steel was a big success aside from some of its criticisms, and with the DC Cinematic Universe still in its younger years, there’s plenty of potential here.
Now if we can only get Supergirl her own movie too. It happened once!
The JUSTICE LEAGUE Is Coming!
Well, it’s official. Director Zack Snyder is putting his best foot forward with DC and Warner Bros. for a Justice League film that will follow the long awaited release of the Man Of Steel 2/Batman vs. Superman movie which is still awaiting an official title. The news just broke late in the weekend following previous reports of the second film’s push back from its initial July 17, 2015 date so that Snyder and the other filmmaker could fully realize their vision.
Casting announcements are still in constant flux, with official updates still needed regarding just how actors Jason Momoa, Matt Damon or Dwanye “The Rock” Johnson will be involved in Warner Bros. growing DC film series. In addition, there is also the issue of what will happen with other characters like Green Lantern and Flash, the latter who is currently poised for a standalone television series on the CW later this year starring Gustin Grant.
Rest assured, Warner Bros. and DC are awake to what is happening now with Walt Disney Co. and Marvel cinematic universe, in accordance with its current ABC series, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and its forthcoming programs for Netflix. And with San Diego Comic-Con on the way, fans can expect some HUGE surprises to come. In the meantime, Snyder’s next film is already set to start principal photography this summer in Michigan where hundreds reportedly lined up for an extras’ casting call.
Batman vs. Superman will see the return of Henry Cavill after leading last year’s Man Of Steel, with actresses Amy Adams and Diane Lane, and actor Lawrence Fishburne expected to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Martha Kent and Perry White, respectively. New on the roster is actor Ben Affleck in the role of Batman, with Gal Gadot attached to the first of a previously-reported three-film deal as Wonder Woman with a standalone movie still in development. Actors Jesse Eisenberg and Jeremy Irons will portray Lex Luthor and Alfred Pennyworth, respectively; Currently rounding out the cast are actresses Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto, and actor Callan Mulvey, in addition to the recently announced role of Cyborg to be played by actor Ray Fisher.
Both films will be shot back to back, with Batman vs Superman heading into theaters on May 6, 2016 against Captain America 3. Justice League still has no official release date.
Stay tuned for more info!
