Bruce would not trust someone with that much power, and he would go find a way to stop him.
-The Battle suit
-Create Kryptonite
-Find out who Superman is (trace him back to Clark Kent)
***Test different forms of Kryptonite (Red, Green, Black...) on Clark Kent without him knowing

If the "World's Greatest Detective" can't figure out who Clark Kent is, that may suspend my disbelief a bit too much considering Lois Lane had little problem doing it, she continually blurted out his name, major fighting happened at and around the Kent farm, Superman took his space ship out of the Kent farm and flew it to the military base, and this new guy around Lois, who happens to be the one person close to Superman, just so happens to look a lot like Superman and didn't change his name at all. And of course Supes should know who Batman is.

President of Domestic Distribution Dan Fellman had a few words to say regarding the move.
Dan Fellman on why Warner Bros. chose May 6, a date already claimed by Marvel, to begin with:
In terms of going back and reviewing the situation, it looked to us—and maybe our reconnaissance wasn’t great—that they were not going to have a movie [ready] on that date. Just that they held onto it and they might not be able to deliver. But they took another position.
Dan Fellman on why they chose to bump the release up:
The reality now is there really isn’t a bad week to open a movie. If you look at the summer box office this year, you can see that there were so many movies, one after the other. You can start with Spider-Man, two weeks later GODZILLA, and then MALEFICENT, and then EDGE OF TOMORROW, and then Jump Street and Transformers. And the one thing they all had in common, not one of them did over $250 million. We’ll be the first one up [in 2016], which is very important, and we’ll have six weeks before Captain America comes in.

I actually have listened to this station! Sweet! My hometown is famous for 15 minutes. Maybe I'd be working on the set if I'd gotten my thumb out of my ass after college. But I doubt it. Never know who's listening, I suppose.

I listen to 97.1 pretty much all the time when I am in the car. Missed this though.

Now it's official.
“Game of Thrones” actor Jason Momoa has signed up for the role of Aquaman in Warner Bros.’ “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
Variety reported in December that Momoa was in talks for the Zack Snyder-directed tentpole, scheduled to be released May 6, 2016, with Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman.
Other cast members include Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane reprise their roles from “Man of Steel.”
Snyder is directing from a script by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing.
Aquaman first appeared in DC Comics in 1941 and is a founding member of the Justice League of America. The studio is planning to shoot “Justice League” after it completes “Batman v. Superman.”
Momoa played Khal Drogo in the first season of “Game of Thrones” and starred in 2011’s “Conan the Barbarian.” He is repped by APA, Kritzer Levine Wilkins Griffin Nilon Entertainment and Edelstein Laird & Sobel.
The HitFix site first reported the news .

Actually... it's not. Comic Book Resources amended the story:
UPDATE 8/12/2014 11:00 AM PT: The Variety article sourced in this article is a report from June 2014. Neither Warner Bros. nor Zack Snyder have confirmed Jason Momoa as part of the cast. The original article has been amended to accurately reflect the timing of the report.

Also, those posted numbers are domestic figures only. Alice in Wonderland cracked a billion worldwide with a March release, so it's possible this one can too.

Alice in Wonderland cracked a billion and was a huge pile of crap. The Batman v Superman movie will crack a billion worldwide i reckon. I do think that the returns could be much higher if DC had a more solid framework for their movies going forward.

Re: Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) (D: Snyder; S: Gadot)
We recently received a tip from an extra who was working on the Detroit set of Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Apparently, he worked on the production for ten days, and while he was there he learned a few things about the movie that I thought I'd share.
Since we have no confirmation that any of the following information is true, we'll consider it a rumor for now. I will also throw out a SPOILER warning just to make sure you know that you don't have to read ahead if you don't want to.
That's all the information that he had to offer, but there's a few nuggets of information there I thought some of you might find interesting. I just can't wait to see these two superheroes finally face off on the big screen. The footage screened at Comic-Con was epic, and the crowd in attendance was definitely sold on it.
