It's rumored by a credible source that the actual costumes for Wonder Woman and Batman will probably leak out in the coming weeks. I guess this is WB's way of attempting to divert attention from the casting decisions.

Taffer: I remember you bringing this up before but I finally encountered the new 52 Freeze origin. Holy shit. Horrid origin and hate the new look.

It's less about Gal's appearance to me- which can be made more impressive with camera angles/cutting/etc.
It's about seeing her in clips from F&F and finding her barely competent in her line readings and laughably deficient when trying to project a sense of authority.
She comes across like a female Keanu Reeves to me.
I'm sure like KR she's a fine person in real life, but what I've seen on screen with her is extremely underwhelming so far.
And unlike someone playing a character like Batman or The Joker- she won't have the luxury of letting the costume give half the performance.

Nothing against the girl but she is pretty much being set up for failure by WB. Still not sure what they are thinking with some of the casting for this.

That or someone bet him that he couldn't make a huge box office hit despite the worst casting decisions ever. Zack Snyder wants to prove that, yes, he can.

Was MOS considered an underperformer? I'm surprised Snyder got that job after the box office crash and burn of Watchmen and Sucker Punch, much less this one.

He is the perfect director for the videogame generation having grown up on cutscenes as the height of cinematic storytelling.

Nuclear Man, one of the secretly most innovative super villains to grace the silver screen and born of it too , not of print.

Got an interesting Batman Vs Superman tidbit this morning. With the ultra secrecy surrounding the project, casting breakdowns at this stage are the only things that offer any real clues. The last casting breakdown that I reported about turned out to be Wonder Woman and now we MAY have another one for a hero.
According to sources, the production is currently looking for a black actor in his early 20s who is also physically fit. Here is the kicker though: the part is for a small role in the untitled Batman Vs Superman movie BUT will be recurring in other upcoming DCU films.
The role also shoots for only a couple of days. At first I thought it was some little role but then I also found out that Zack Snyder has met with hot actor Michael B. Jordan for the role. Remember, Zack doesn’t just meet with anybody. He targets certain actors. When Jesse Eisenberg got cast as Lex Luthor the Hollywood Reporter said the following:
Sources say that the studio and director Zack Snyder aren’t casting a wide net with plenty of auditions to fill roles but are targeting actors from a narrow shortlist of those they want. “Zack doesn’t see a lot of people,” said one person with knowledge of the process.
Interesting. Could it be for another superhero cameo that pays off later? Could it be for John Stewart? Could it even be for Dick Grayson? Remember, the role requires the actor to be physically fit so I highly suspect a hero part. You guys help me out in the comments below.
What character in the DCU could it be?
UPDATE
Many of you have tweeted at me the strong possibility of Victor Stone aka CYBORG. Good call. I totally forgot about Justice League War. Thanks again for feedback guys!

Isn't Michael B. Jordan set to be in the Fantastic Four reboot?
