The latest production update for Batman vs. Superman confirms that the upcoming sequel has begun pre-production in Detroit, Michigan. The city is said to be subbing for both Metropolis and Gotham. According to Detroit Free Press, the production will be the biggest movie shoot in the state’s history. Filming will take place at the Michigan Motion Pictures Studios, and will occupy the complex until production ends in August. Additionally, the Man of Steel follow-up “will employ more Michigan residents than any other film project has ever employed in the state of Michigan,” says COO Anthony Wenson. As we move closer to the February start date, we should expect more production and…

Over a week ago, a report surfaced claiming that DC Entertainment’s big announcement for 2014 is a plan to release two low budget movie adaptations (likely within the $20-40M range) a year. Among the titles that were mentioned were Suicide Squad, Deathstroke, and Booster Gold. A couple of those are included in the following list, suggesting which characters could headline their own lower budget films. Nightwing Dick Grayson/Nightwing will make his big screen debut in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, but a solo film starring the former Robin would be an interesting and ideal way to go afterwards. Especially since this likely won’t be focused on much in the Zack Snyder-directed…

Before Ben Affleck landed the role of the Dark Knight in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, a number of actors were rumored for the part. Josh Brolin was reportedly the frontrunner at one point, and the Labor Day star confirmed that he was in talks to play Batman. Now, speaking with the LA Times, Brolin looks back on being considered for the role, as well as the backlash in response to Affleck’s casting. “That whole thing was weird. You read stuff like, “I wish Ben Affleck would die.” It’s Armageddon because he’s going to play Batman. What’s happening? You can’t listen to any of it. It’s like a kid in a cereal…

Last night’s Arrow mid-season finale was electrifying (pun intended) to say the least. Among the multiple twists and plot developments was a rather inevitable move (SPOILER ALERT): Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen receives his powers that will lead to him becoming The Flash. The character will star in his own spin-off pilot, which will hopefully be picked up for a Fall 2014 premiere on The CW. Speaking with Comic Book Resources, Gustin, Geoff Johns and Andrew Kreisberg discuss the planned spin-off. The actor had this to say about what he is looking forward to when he films the pilot. “I’m mostly looking forward to getting the pilot script and seeing how Barry’s…

With Arrow going on hiatus after tonight’s mid-season finale, casting is moving forward for the rest of season two. According to TV Line, Prison Break and Heroes actor Robert Knepper has been cast as the villainous William Tockman, aka the Clock King. In this incarnation of the DC Comics foe, Tockman “earned his nickname being a brilliant criminal who plans his crimes with precision, down to the second.” The character will appear in episode 14, which also sees the return of Alex Kingston’s Dinah Lance. After this week’s highly anticipated episode, Arrow Season 2 returns January 15th on The CW.

We have a couple of reports concerning the Batman vs. Superman production. First off, Batman-On-Film has shared an update on the construction of the new Batmobile, which is rumored to be Cadillac-influenced. The site’s source says the following. “I was informed that the Batmobile is actually being designed and built in Warren, Michigan at GM’s famed ‘Studio X’ – the auto industry’s equivalent of Fort Knox. Or the first rule of FIGHT CLUB… The Batmobile will then be finished at the GM Advanced Design Studio in North Hollywood by February. I believe this is where the car will be tested and stunt drivers trained before the car is transported back to Detroit…

We have some more casting news for Warner Bros.’ hotly anticipated Batman vs. Superman, which begins filming next February.

While Warner Bros. Interactive recently released the prequel Batman: Arkham Origins, Rocksteady is apparently still developing a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Arkham City. Via IMGMR, we have some potential details for the highly anticipated installment. Titled Batman: Arkham Knight, the game will have an open-world map that contains “a little more freedom” than Arkham City‘s. Additionally, the artistic style will resemble that of the 2011 game. While we do not have any details on the plot or villains, Arkham Knight is reportedly targeting a Holiday 2014 release for Xbox One and Playstation 4.  Last year, rumors suggested that Rocksteady was developing a Silver Age Batman prequel, which would see his first…
