REPORT: Ben Affleck, Geoff Johns Co-Writing Standalone Batman Film !!!

by Asylum Kollectbles 0 comments
Ben Affleck and DC Entertaonment's Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns are reportedly deep in development mode, co-writing a standalone Batman film, with Affleck also slated to star and direct.

The Deadline report states that the pair are "well in synch and have more than found their rhythm" in developing the long rumored solo film. Affleck would shoot the Batman solo film once he wraps production on "Live by Night," a movie he has already delayed once in order to don the Dark Knight's cowl in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."

The movie will take place following the events of "Batman v Superman" and "Justice League," meaning the film won't be in theaters until 2018 at the earliest. That said, the report indicates that the importance of the character to Warner Bros. may alter some of the studio's announced plans for its slate of DC films.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" opens on March 25, 2016; "Justice League" is scheduled to arrive November 17, 2017.

DC Release Batman #41 Preview Featuring The New Batsuit !!!!

by Asylum Kollectbles 0 comments

 

DC Comics has released a preview of Batman #41, due out on Wednesday.

The issue, written by Scott Snyder with art by Greg Capullo & Danny Miki, sees the debut of the all-new Batman.

Here's how DC describes the issue:

Who is he, and what happens next? As Gotham finds itself being trampled by a bio-electric energy-being, does this new mechancial Batman have the gumption it takes to don the mantle of the Bat and save the day? Find out in an all new BATMAN #41.

"We talked to DC about maybe even calling the book 'All New Batman' because of how incredibly different things are going to be," series writer Scott Snyder said in an interview with DC's website, "This is one of those storylines that spins the entire mythology around. When you get to the other side, I think you will be pretty surprised and hopefully be like, 'I can’t believe these guys are going there!'"

Batman # 41

NOTE: This interview with Scott Snyder took place in advance of DC’s release of solicitation for June’s Batman #41. That solicit reads, in whole: “The all-new Batman makes his debut! Who is he, and what happens next? Find out here as a new era begins in Gotham City!”

Solicitation art, seen here, seems to show an armored or perhaps robotic Batman. Click on the thumb for a full-size version or click here for a super-sized version.


Writer Scott Snyder is deep into his fifth year of living with Batman, having started with a run on Detective Comics in early 2011, and making the jump to the Batman title with the launch of DC’s “New 52” later that year. For most of his stint on the title, Batman has been DC’s top-seller, and Snyder has garnered critical acclaim.

Batman #40 variant cover by Andy Kubert...// Exclusive Preview: Batman, Bane & Poison Ivy Signal the Beginning of Joker's Endgame in Batman #40

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman saga—at least the Bruce Wayne tale that we know—is set to end with issue #40. And ever since the series relaunched in DC’s New 52, it’s been a pithy, tense ride for Dark Knight fans. With the opening Court of Owls arc, Batman fans were forced to face an ugly truth: this Batman, he has blind spots. And the arc uncovered a decades-old secret society from Gotham’s darkest corners, the titular Court of Owls. It doesn’t happen often, but the arc made readers question Batman’s hold over the very city he made safer—a grip that loosened after The Joker turned batman against his very own support system in the following Death of the Family event.

Like the arc before it, Death of the Family sought to knock down norms in the Bat-universe. It shined a light on the weaknesses of Batman’s own team—ultimately setting the Dark Knight aside as a lone hero, a lesson the Joker’s still trying to brand into Batman. But as Snyder’s described in interviews before, Death of the Family was the comedy, while the latest Joker tale, Endgame, is the tragedy. And after combating a powerful toxin that’s left Gotham crippled and zombified, Batman’s not only out of ideas: he’s desperate. The Endgame series has seen him call on the Court of Owls—we all saw how that worked out—and now he’s moved on to an even more surprising branch of support: some of his most iconic enemies.

In issue #40, we’ll see Bane, Poison Ivy and more fight alongside Gotham’s finest. With this issue winding up an already great arc—one that promises to be a gateway to the next Batman story—issue #40 is required reading.

Today, we’ve got an exclusive preview of issue #40. The pages that follow bring us from Joker’s toxic origin straight to the present, where Poison Ivy and Bane fight alongside the Dark Knight himself. Also—Bane and Batman? With hands clasped together? In a non-violent manner? It gave me chills.

Here’s DC’s description:

The finale of “Endgame” is here! Batman risks everything against The Joker! Who will laugh last?

 

Batman #40 is set for an April 29 release through DC Comics.
