Today’s DC movie news round-up is clearly a Wonder Woman edition, and to start off, we have some comments from Gal Gadot. Speaking with E! Online, the actress talks about keeping her body fit for playing Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Superman. “I just keep active—everything that’s challenging me, everything that I feel like doing. It’s not like I’m only TRX or Pilates. I do sports. I do cardio, but I don’t like it as much. I’d rather do weights.” As for her diet, Gadot adds, “I try to eat healthy. But sometimes though, I eat cheeseburgers. That’s good for the soul. I make sure to balance everything out. I drink…

We will be seeing younger versions of Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin and Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the Gotham pilot, and Fox’s Batman prequel series has found its actor for future Riddler Edward Nygma. According to Entertainment Weekly, Camp X-Ray alum Cory Michael Smith has landed the role of the popular Batman villain. He will appear as Mr. Nygma in a guest starring role in the pilot, and may expand to a series regular.

One of the highlights of Man of Steel was Jor-El, who was excellently portrayed by Russell Crowe. Naturally, many have been wondering if he will reprise the role in the sequel, Batman vs. Superman. Now, speaking with Yahoo! while promoting Noah, the Oscar winning actor confirmed that he will not return as Jor-El in the Man of Steel follow-up. “I don’t think they’re going to use me again. I think they’re jumping onto a different stream. You know, they’re going with the different superhero worlds colliding [this time].” It is understandable why Jor-El wouldn’t be brought back in the superhero crossover, but perhaps he (or, more specifically, his consciousness) can…

Speaking with Total Film while promoting Rio 2, Anne Hathaway comments on co-star Jesse Eisenberg’s recent casting as Lex Luthor in Batman vs. Superman. Of course, Hathaway previously played iconic DC villainess Selina Kyle/Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, so does she have any advice for Eisenberg’s debut in the DC Universe? “I wish I could say something, but it’s going to be his experience. Keep a journal, which I’m sure he does in some version of that already, just to remember it. Don’t be afraid to make it your own. In my case, people criticized, criticized, criticized until they saw it, and then a lot of people likes what…

Before Zack Snyder was hired to direct Warner Bros.’ Superman reboot Man of Steel, acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky was reportedly in contention for the gig. Now, speaking with MTV News, the Noah director confirmed that he would have “absolutely” helmed Man of Steel under the right circumstances. “Superman’s one of the holy grails. It’s Superman. It’s the best superhero. Batman is great, of course, but it’s Superman. He’s the same level. That possibility was great.”  Aronofsky then affirmed that he had a “few conversations” with producer Christopher Nolan about directing the film, before Zack Snyder landed the job. However, Aronofsky has no hard feelings toward the 300 helmer. “I thought Zack was…

Stephen Amell has made no secret about his interest in reprising his Oliver Queen/Arrow role for the big screen, particularly the long awaited Justice League movie. Appearing at Emerald City Comicon (via Comic Book Resources), the Arrow star again talked about leaping into the DC Cinematic Universe. He reaffirmed that he’s interested in playing Green Arrow on film, and would be frustrated if another actor took the role. “I’m completely overly competitive. And the thought of somebody else playing Oliver Queen makes me want to smash that head through that table. But for the time being, it’s very difficult for me to look past filming our 22nd episode of the season…
