Batman will be featured prominently in 2016’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017’s Justice League, and will be played by Ben Affleck in both. Recently, a list of DC films spanning from 2016 to 2018 was leaked online, but a solo Batman film was noticeably missing. Now, we know why.

Recently, trades Variety and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Jason Momoa has been cast as Aquaman for a minor appearance in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, before getting a bigger role in Justice League. This comes after the Game of Thrones actor denied these rumors in typical Hollywood fashion.

Jesse Eisenberg finally began filming his scenes as Lex Luthor for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice recently, and we now have details on his character’s appearance. A source for Batman-News answers the question everyone was asking: Is Eisenberg’s Luthor bald? And, according to the site’s source, he is not. In fact, he has a “lot of hair”, which is described as “a bit longer, kind of loose and wavy, and it’s dirty blonde. Eisenberg’s Luthor has spastic mannerisms, like a 20-something guy that pounds energy drinks all day.” Batman-News adds that these scenes occur around the beginning of the film, so it’s very possible that Luthor will go bald later…
