A slew of Batman vs. Superman nuggets made their way online today. A couple of them were posted earlier today, but the rest will be included in the following round-up. *We heard Ben Affleck talk today about Zack Snyder’s take on Batman, and in another interview (this time with Playboy, via Latino-Review), the actor-director discusses landing the role again. “When they asked if I would be Batman, I told them I don’t see myself in the role and I was going to have to beg off.

After playing Lieutenant General Swanwick in this summer’s Man of Steel, Harry Lennix was brought on stage at San Diego Comic-Con one month later to help announce the sequel, Batman vs. Superman. He read a quote from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, which director Zack Snyder said would “inform” the storyline.

I saw Tom Cruise walk off the stage, and I’m a huge Tom Cruise fan, from the time he started. And then, Zack [Snyder] introduced me and the people understood what was coming. It was all in…

Labs and LexCorp, these Easter eggs sowed the seeds for what may come in future films. In the following interview, Superman himself, Henry Cavill, looks back on these references. He talks in particular detail about Cyborg, who is connected to S.T.A.R. Labs, calling him a wonderful character. He reaffirms that he does not know if/when the character will be brought onto the big screen, and that he knows nothing more about Batman vs. Superman‘s story.

It appears that DC Entertainment has a different and unexpected idea on how to further explore the DC Universe on film. A couple weeks ago, it was reported that movies for the likes of Deathstroke, Booster Gold and the Suicide Squad were being considered, with Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman scribe David S. Goyer involved. Now, Bleeding Cool has learned more about the studio’s future movie plans, in what may be its “big news for 2014”.
