    Jeff Nichols and Noam Murro Being Eyed To Helm 'Aquaman'; Karl Urban as Ocean Master?


    Any news on the Aquaman front has been minimal at best. After almost a year of denials DC Comics finally announced that Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa will indeed play the King of the Seven Seas Arthur Curry. Well, Latino-Review has a scoop regarding which director might helm the project. According to their soruces Mud director Jeff Nichols is being eyed for the project along with 300: Rise of an Empire director Noam Murro. It should be pointed out that even though the 300 sequel was Noam Murro's first feature film; he has a direct connection with Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder thanks to that film. This would mean he is more inclined to direct this DC film...Oh, did we mention the 300: Rise of an Empire screenwriter is also penning one version of the Aquaman script? Noam Murro was also on our DC Universe director list for Aquaman back last year. So how long before we can get Philip Lord & Chris Miller to direct The Flash?!

    Lastly, the website goes onto reveal that Karl Urban might by eyed for an unspecified villain role. Could he be cast as Arthur Curry's half brother Orm?! That would definitely differentiated the comparison the two might get from Marvel's Thor and Loki.

    'Mud' Director Jeff Nichols To Helm 'Aquaman' For Warner Brothers?


    The Sony Hack gifts keep coming. Recently we have seen leaked emails from not just Sony but involving superhero films from other studios as well. Like The Russo Brothers taking over directing duties on The Avengers films at Marvel. As well as Simon Kinberg confirming he is doing an X-Men/Fantastic Four crossover...well now it's Warner Brothers turn. In an email on October 21st Columbia Pictures co-president Micheal De Luca reveals to Sony head Amy Pascal that Mud director Jeff Nichols is apparently being looked at to helm Aquaman for Warner Brothers starring Jason Momoa as the King of the Seven Seas (via The Daily Beast

    The co-President goes onto reveal that 22 Jump Street & The Lego Movie directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller will direct The Amazing Spider-Man 3 if Sony doesn't make the deal with Marvel come January and reboot the character again.

    Aquaman is scheduled to hit July 27th, 2018

    Jason Momoa Has a 4-Picture Contract as 'Aquaman'


    Today, Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones) was at the CCPX Comic-Con in San Pablo, Brzail to answer fan questions. Of course he was asked about being cast as Aquaman and denying for a very long time. He goes onto reveal several things like having a 4 picture contract, making Aquaman a badass and being cast a longtime before the official announcement (via DCU Movie Page Twitter)
    Obviously logistically speaking Zack Snyder can't direct every DC film that will be coming out in the future considering he will be hard at work on Justice League parts 1 & 2. But a great runner up would be 300: Rise of an Empire director Noam Murro who took over for Snyder in the 300 franchise.That film also had a great number of naval battles which would serve greatly with Aquaman. Oh, did we mention the writer of 300: Rise of an Empire Kurt Johnstad his penning the script for Aquaman? Seems like a match made in heaven.Lastly, the four films Jason Momoa must be speaking about his involvement would be Batman v Superman, Justice League 1 &2 and Aquaman solo film.

    Aquaman is schedule to hit in 2018

    RUMOR: Aquaman and Wonder Woman Cousins in 'Batman v Superman'?!


    Zack Snyder's upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is about to wrap up filming very soon (Henry Cavill's Superman has already completed filming). They are now currently shooting the scenes in New Mexico which will serve as a backdrop to Wonder Woman's homeland of Themyscira. Now while rumors have minimal on set a new Instagram post has revealed something very interesting. According to this "on set report" DC is setting up for Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) to actually be cousins in this new DC Cinematic Universe:
    One thing I wanted to share is that recently I have received a speculating intel source from an insider in the onset which is that these scenes in New Mexico of Wonder Woman in her home of Themyscira with Gal Gadot, this perhaps will be the cameo in where we will see Aquaman Jason Momoa in argument with his COUSIN Wonder Woman & her family for what happen on earth with the invasion of Zod. Supposedly they are disputing if Wonder Woman & her family (Amazons) such as Zeus ect ect, is unable to maintain control, peace & authority from threats of other realms trying to invade other worlds then Aquaman & his family (Atlanteans) will be taking lead of the situations. Also in which he is the heir to the Throne of Atlantis meaning that this points out that Poseidon will die or will be already dead for the storyline of Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice. This is the intel of the onset but then again just take it with a grain of salt for it is not a solid confirmation.

    Now while this of course could be totally made up it does line up with producer Charles Roven's recent comments that Diana Prince will be the daughter of Zeus based off her New 52 origin. This of course would make Arthur Curry the son of Poseidon. Which would make his mother human. This intel also hints to what may come in Aquman's origin movie set for 2018.


    Of course we would never have looked twice at this small tidbit if Roven's comments didn't come out first about Wonder Woman's origin. But again take with a massive grain of salt....But hey it sounds better then the recent Clash of the Titans films.

    Batman v Superman hits March 2016

    CONFIRMED: DC Comics Is Creating A DC Cinematic Multi-Verse with Film & TV!


    The question of this day in age in comic film or TV adaptions is are they all connected? Marvel has done it first literally connecting their movies with television and soon netflix shows like Daredevil all into one massive shared universe. So the question remained will DC do the same thing? This is something that has plagued DC fans since Arrow lit up the small screen on The CW. Will Stephen Amell's Arrow ever meet up with Henry Cavill's Superman? Well at this past year's Comic-Con it seemed DC head Geoff Johns put that theory to rest that Arrow & it's spin-off show The Flash are in a separate universe than Henry Cavill and Ben Afflecks Batman & Superman. But was he lying? He was and he wasn't.

    Today, Geoff Johns spoke with BuzzFeed to confirm that DC is trying to actual create a cinematic multiverse!
    “We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist. For us, creatively, it’s about allowing everyone to make the best possible product, to tell the best story, to do the best world. Everyone has a vision and you really want to let the visions shine through. I think the characters are iconic enough. I like [Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.] a lot. I love what Marvel does. I’m a huge fan. It’s just a different approach.”
    Now for some of you who don't know DC had a multiverse with multiple "earths". That means one superhero may live their whole life in one universe and have a slightly different version on the second earth. Or one superhero maybe one person on Earth-1 but on Earth-2 the mantle is taken up by someone else like Jay Garrick & Barry Allen both being The Flash. And The Flash is the one who first learns of the multiverse....Which is also teased at the end of The Flash pilot episode.

    Now if DC can actually pull off doing a multiverse that means while the TV & Film universe are connected they are separate at the same time. What ever happens on film won't dictate what happens on TV and vice-versa. So the writers still have creative freedom and aren't held down by each others contradicting storylines. That is until DC finally pulls out their wild card and does a Crisis on Infinite Earths movie which will have all the universes collide into one another.  But this type of massive movie is obviously far down the line for DC...

    So  as far as we know we have the Man of Steel Universe, the Arrow-Verse and last week Sandman creator Neil Gaiman mentions DC has yet to announce a slate of Vertigo Universe movies that are coming out like Sandman or Justice League: Dark which would give us a third universe. It's unknown where Gotham, Constantine, Lucifer, Teen Titans, Supergirl, or Static Shock fit within these universes or others.

    Lastly, he adds that maybe one day they will have a crossover but not anytime soon...
    "There’s been discussions over the years for both, obviously. You never say never. Maybe one day we’ll link a show to a film if it makes sense, but the creative process we’re going through right now is to let the stuff live and breathe and be its own thing and own it."

    'Cyborg' Ray Fisher & 'Aquaman' Jason Momoa Talk Solo Movie Announcements


    Last week WB dropped the hammer and announced a slew of upcoming DC movies being made including solo Aquaman movie in 2018 starring Jason Momoa and solo Cyborg movie starring Ray Fisher. Now while Jason Momoa has gone on record to denying such claims but with the offical WB announcement though Momoa spoke at Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta about playing the King of Atlantis:

    "Listen, I was asked to play it. You know, you audition and stuff like that, but the fact is you’ve just got to keep it quiet. You know what I mean, I was just trying to respect Warner Bros. and everyone’s wishes. I’m really, really happy that I don’t have to be quiet anymore, because that’s really hard for me. The greatest thing for me is that Polynesians, our gods, Kahoali, Maui, all these water gods, so it’s really cool and a honor to be playing a [water] character. And there’s not too many brown superheroes, so I’m really looking forward to representing the Polynesians, the natives. It’s cool be a part of DC’s universe. I’m really excited to be with Warner Bros., and hopefully everyone likes it. And Zack Snyder’s a genius, so I’m really excited to be hanging out with him."
    He then goes onto talk about Justice League and his solo outing as Aquaman: 
    "I don’t know the director. I know about as much as you guys know. I know the Justice League will come first. That’s really what we’re going to focus on. I’m not sure if it will be [set] prior to Justice League or post. I don’t know too much about it. It will probably be where he came from. It will probably be his whole origin story I would think…I mean I don’t even want to get quoted on this shit. So I know we’re going to do Justice League first. I don’t even know when we’re shooting yet, but it will be like 2016 or 2017, so there’s plenty of time."
    He also mentions when asked what actor he would love to play a villain opposite of him (with the co-host mentioning possibly for Aquaman) he goes onto say he would love Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender or Jai Courtney play opposite of him.


    Now as for upcoming actor Ray Fisher he goes onto admit to EW he didn't even know a solo Cyborg movie was happening until only a few hours before the official announcement last week:
    "I didn’t know the extent to which DC and WB had planned on taking my character. When I signed on, I just wanted to be part of this world. But that specific information, I found out then and there. I didn’t think I’d be getting my own stand-alone film."
     He also goes onto talking about being apart the rest of Justice League along with Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and co..
    "I met everyone in the Justice League except Henry Cavill and Ezra Miller. It was surreal. You get this idea of going to work on a Hollywood set as being really stressful and nerve-wracking. But it blew that stereotype away. If they did have stressful times, it wasn’t while I was there."
    Aquaman and Cyborg will debut in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

    RUMOR: Black Manta, Mera and Orm To Appear in 'Aquaman' ?


    Now all we know about Aquaman the movie is that Jason Momoa will indeed play the King of Atlantis. We also know two separate scripts are being written by Will Beall (Gangster Squad) & Kurt Johnstad (300: Rise of an Empire). It was also announced today that the film is expected to hit in 2018 with The Flash coming out the same year.

    Now a tweet has gone out from The Aquaman Shrine who claims to have heard several supporting characters who will appear in the film. Of course take with a grain of salt...but they claim Black Manta, Mera, Orm and The Trench will appear in the film! Orm and Meras was also a given when it came to an Aquaman origin story but it's nice to see Black Manta maybe the villian of the film instead of Orm. Because the general audiences will just see it has a Thor/Loki storyline all over again...

    Aquaman is expected to hit Summer 2018

    Ezra Miller & Jason Momoa to get Solo 'Flash' & 'Aquaman' Films in 2018



    Late last year we at Superhero Movie News heard that DC Comics was searching for actors to play Nightwing in the then titled Batman vs Superman. This of course was before Chris Terrio took over scripting duties from David Goyer and seems to written out Nightwing as far as we know. Never-the-less we heard that DC was looking at both Ezra Miller (Perks of Being a Wallflower) and Penn Badgley were being looked at by DC Comics in this role. Fast forward a year and DC comics has just revealed that Ezra Miller has since been cast as none other then Barry Allen in both Justice League and a stand-alone Flash movie slated for 2018! Ezra will indeed be playing Barry Allen in this incarnation...


    DC comics also went onto confirm that Jason Momoa is indeed playing Arthur Curry in Justice League as well has his own solo film also slated for 2018. But we all knew this...

    It's unknown which spot these two films will take in 2018 with the previously announced dates of 3/23/2018 or 07/27/2018. But Aquaman already has two separate scripts in the works which means it's further along then this newly announced Flash film.

    EDITORIAL: Which Warner Brothers Directors Should Helm a DC Cinematic Universe Film?


    DC and Warner Brothers are currently hard at work developing their own cinematic universe opposite longtime rival Marvel. It all started with last years smash hit Man of Steel directed by Zack Snyder which got the ball rolling after the hiccup that was 2011's Green Lantern.

    Now it seems Warner Brothers wants to use in-house writers to help form this cinematic universe. First it started off with The Dark Knight trilogy screenwriter David Goyer and 300's Zack Snyder creating Man of Steel. They then brought on Ben Affleck to play Batman after directing and staring in both The Town and Argo which won best picture at the Academy Awards for Warner Brothers. From there it seemed WB was adamant on using writers who are closely connected to both Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder. They started by hiring Argo writer Chris Terrio thanks to his connection with pen Affleck to pen the sequel to Man of Steel title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They loved his draft of the script so much (After David Goyer wrote the first draft) that they are seriously considering him to pen Justice League which will also be directed by Zack Snyder.

    Then just a couple weeks ago DC announced that they had hired two separate writers to pen an Aquaman solo film. The writers would also be in house at WB and were Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall as well as 300: Rise of an Empire screenwriter Kurt Johnstad who is connected to Zack Snyder. A draft has also been confirmed by Dwayne Johnson on a Shazam solo movie but it is unknown who wrote it at this time.

    But with all these writers being brought on to pen the ever growing DC Cinematic Universe what directors could take on these mighty heroes? Here is a few suggestions that are in-house at Warner Brothers but are also very talented directors in their own right...

    Aquaman
     

    With Aquaman being the first solo film confirmed to have writers attached I thought it should be the first addressed in this editorial. Currently both Will Beall and Kurt Johnstad are writing two separate scripts for the King of the Seven Seas solo movie which will star Jason Momoa. So for this I will assume they will go with Kurt Johnstad and have him re-team with his 300: Rise of an Empire director Noam Murro. Now while Noam Murro only has two feature film directing credits to his name he is an ideal chose at Warner Brothers. What he did with the navel battles in 300: Rise of an Empire was impressive coming off of a director like Zack Snyder in the original 300 film. He also now has experience with water battles as well as ancient Greek battles which would make him a perfect choose to bring Aquaman and Atlantis to life. But his ultimate challenge would be an entire film underwater and try to make it as realistic as possible without people forgetting their underwater and have the currents of the ocean floor just as real as another character on screen.

    Shazam

    Shazam is going to be one of the trickiest movies Warner Brothers and DC create because of its fantastical elemnts that are so associated with the film. Because in reality their is two leads in the film playing the same character of sorts. You have the young Billy Batson (Foster Child if he is based on the New 52) who is given the power of S.H.A.Z.A.M by an ancient wizard. As well as the hero of Shazam (Possibly played by Dwayne Johnson) who is still a child like Billy Batson in an adults body. A comic book "Freaky Friday" movie of sorts. The only director who could possibly take this fantasy type movie would be David Yates! He has already directed several Harry Potter films which starred a a young protagonist in Harry Potter. With his background of Hogwarts and Wizards he would be an ideal chose to bring the Legend of Shazam to life on the big screen for Warner Brothers and DC.

    Wonder Woman

    Wonder Woman seems to be a hero that just can't catch a break. She will finally be introduced on screen for the first time in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice played by Gal Gadot. But the powers that be just can't seem to wrap their brain around a female lead superhero movie and potential franchise. Now many believe that a female superhero movie can only be directed by a female director. And lets face it a female director are rare and far between in Hollywood. But I'm sure the first female director to pop into you're head is The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow. She is the first woman to win Best Director at the Academy Awards as well as having both her films be nominated for several awards. Now while should would be the ideal chose for such a break through film like Wonder Woman lets face it. She will never come near a comic book movie after her success with war-time films even though everyone on earth wants her to do Wonder Woman because it just feels right.

    A great second chose would be Guy Richie who has directed such great films like Snatch as well as the upcoming re-telling of King Arthur for Warner Brothers. With a fantasy film like King Arthur under his belt he would bring that to a film that tells the origins of Themyscira and Princess Diana. Plus, with his famous opening credit sequence who doesn't love Guy Richie?

    Green Lantern
     
    Green Lantern had a bit of a hiccup back in 2011. Not that the origin story of Hal Jordon was wrong or that Ryan Reynolds was terrible in the role. It was simply that the script was all over the place because of "to many cooks in the kitchen". They tried to make Green Lantern a little to comic book-y with his cheesy one-liners and what not throughout the film. Not to say Green Lantern needs to be 100% serious but his one-liners is what drove fans away from the film. Not to mention the space cloud villain but lets not get into that.

    So where does Warner Brothers go from here with the character? Last rumor we heard was that he will not be making an appearance in Dawn of Justice but will indeed have a role in Justice League presumably played by a new actor. When his eventual spin-off comes whether its a re-telling of his origin or simply another adventure for him to go on a great director for the project would be none other then Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron. Cuaron has been a staple director at WB for a while also directing one of the Harry Potter films but it was last years Gravity that put him at the spotlight for space epic films. It wasn't just how realistic he made space feel in Gravity but how Space itself was another character in the film. That's exactly what a movie like Green Lantern needs. With a film practically all in space we need a director with a keen eye on how space actually works to helm a project like this. Plus it helps that Gravity won seven academy awards for Warner Brothers including best Visual Effects and Cuaron winning Best Director.

    The Flash

    The Flash is one of the few DC characters that simply is meant to be a comedy. A movie like The Flash will basically be the opposite of all the other Dc movies who have taken a dark and serious approach to all their films. Now recently their have been rumblings that Warner Brothers seem to have a "Zero Joke Tolerance" for the upcoming DC films but The Flash needs to be the exception. Beside the dark elements that Barry Allen lost his mother at a very young age he has always been the comic relief of the Justice League. Constantly memorized by all the heroes even though he is one of them he is simply a "fan-girl" when he actually gets to meet the other Leaguers.

    Now there are also rumors that he is expected to make a cameo in Dawn of Justice with but it won't be by an actor. So if and when DC decides to make a solo Flash film (Opposite it's already established Flash TV Show starring Grant Gustin) what director or director's should helm this project. None other than the hottest duo directors in Hollywood Phil Lord & Chris Miller. They have four feature films under their belt all being massive hits from both the kid friendly comedy's Cloudy With a Chance of meatballs as well as The LEGO Movie. They also have the action comedy down with the hard R Jump Street films. Now as you saw in The Lego Movie they are nerds and brought the Justice League into their movie with batman already playing a prominent role. It's only a matter of time before they direct a live-action feature film. They quickly passed on Marvel's Ant-Man at one time so maybe it's time for Warner Brothers to repay the duo on their success with The Lego Movie and let them direct a DC Cinematic Universe film. And The Flash seems to be a perfect match for this young hot directing team.

    The Batman

    After Ben Affleck directed and starred in both The Town as well as Best picture winning film Argo he signed up to play Batman for the foreseeable future. Most suspect in his contract with Warner Brothers and WB he would get a solo Batman film as well. It only seems logical that he would also direct this new Batman film as well as star. Zack Snyder is hard at work establishing this new Batman in Dawn of Justice but it will be Affleck who will bring this Dark Knight back to the screens in an entire new way then what we saw in Christopher Nolans Dark Knight Trilogy.

    Superman

    Zack Snyder is the last director who will return after helming Man of Steel to do the first Justice League film in 2017/2018 but he may also want to return for another Superman adventure starring Henry Cavill. With DC films being slated through 2020 a solo Superman movie may actually happen after all.

    'Aquaman' Solo Movie Hooks Two Seperate Writers


    With DC still pretending like Aquaman isn't in Batman v Superman played by Jason Momoa. The Hollywood Reporter has got the scoop on the solo spin-off film. According to their sources Warner Brothers has hired both Will Beall (Gangaster Squad) and Kurt Johnstad (300: Rise of an Empire) to write two separate Aquaman drafts. Then the chosen filmmaker will take over the scripting duties from there. 


    Will Beall may seem familiar because he wrote an apparently terrible draft for a Justice League movie before WB started to create a DC Cinematic Universe with Man of Steel. So it's interesting WB went back to him for another DC property. Kurt Johnstad of course was chosen to write the sequel Rise of an Empire to Zack Snyder's original 300 flick.

    Again, Warner Brothers has yet to even announced Jason Momoa is indeed the King of the Seven Seas but given that his role in Batman v Superman is a cameo its unlikely he will be officially announced until the whole cast for the Justice League movie is announced.

    Aquaman is one of the 9 untitled release dates that was announced...

    Director Zack Snyder Straight Up Defends 'Aquaman' On The Radio


    Today, director Zack Snyder was on his way to the Detroit set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice when he was listening to 97.1 The Ticket. On the radio the hosts were talking about once again the rumor (but confirmed almost a million times) that Aquaman is going to cameo in the film. They also of course make fun of Aquaman for doing nothing more then talk to fish. Well, Zack Snyder didn't take kindly to these remarks and called up the radio station himself to let the radio hosts know that Aquaman is pretty badass:


    And if you have Jason Momoa  playing the King of the Seven Seas; Aquaman instantly becomes a badass. Now while many don't know if this was actually Zack Snyder on the phone Batman v Superman cinematographer Larry Fong goes onto share the story on his Twitter pretty much confirming it was indeed the director on the phone.
    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits May 2016

    DC Comics Anounnces 9 Untitled Films Through 2020


    It seems DC finally has a plan! Last month Nikki Finkie dropped the scoop that a slew of DC movies where coming out of the woodwork. Including Shazam and a Green Lantern/Flash team-up and claimed they would be announced at Comic-Con several weeks ago.
    "Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."
     Well Comic-Con came and went with not even a hint of their future plans. Finkie went onto claim that DC was upset the information leaked and simply wimped out of the announcement. It certainly seemed she was just covering her own failed scoop. Well, maybe she wasn't wrong afterall...

    The Wrap just announced that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has moved up from May 2016 to March 25th, 2016. They go onto to announce 9 untitled feature films coming out of DC with 2 additional "WB event films"!
    Untitled DC Film  - 08/05/16
    Untitled DC Film  - 06/23/17 
    Untitled DC Film  - 11/17/17
    Untitled DC Film  - 03/23/18 
    Untitled DC Film  - 07/27/18 
    Untitled WB Event Film - 11/16/18
    Untitled DC Film  - 04/05/19
    Untitled DC Film  - 06/14/19
    Untitled DC Film  - 04/03/20
    Untitled DC Film  - 06/19/20
    Untitled WB Event Film - 11/20/20
     If the WB Event Film is a Justice League team-up that means they moved the date from 2017 to 2018. But it is unknown at this time what these "WB Event Films" are....Some are speculating they are for the Harry Potter spin-offs Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them
    So far the actors in this great DC Cinematic Universe is Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Dwayne Johnson in an unknown role (Most likely Shazam)

    Other possible DC films include Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Sandman and Guillermo del Toro's Justice League: Dark but it's unknown if these supernatural films will be in the DCCU. On top of all the solo films rumored...

    Has DC Blinked?! 'Batman v Superman' Moves Up Its Release Date In The United Kingdom


    The ongoing battle between Marvel and DC may have come to a draw of sorts. Captain America 3 and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have both claimed May 6th, 2016 as their date to be released. Seriously creating every fanboys dream but every investors nightmare. I literal Marvel vs DC battle. Well, it seems DC has blinked and decided to move their date for Batman v Superman but in the United Kingdom only. In the August issue of Empire Magazine (Stationed in the UK) they claim that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice has moved up to April 29th, 2016 from their May release. This move was long speculated by fans for a very longtime so it's no surprise:


    This is not the only secret that Empire Magazine has let slip. In another issue they also confirm the long hinted at rumor that Jason Momoa is indeed Aquaman! But we all knew that for months....

    Geoff Johns Confirms 'Arrow' Universe and 'Batman v Superman' Universe Are Separate


    TV Guide has been updating all day from the yearly Television Critics Association panel. Today it has been officially announced by DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns that the Arrow/Flash universe on The CW will indeed stays separate from the Zack Snyder Batman v Superman universe in the movies. The reason being pretty obvious; that they don't want the TV writers to be a slave to the movie universe:
    "You'll see a lot of DC universe characters [on The Flash and Arrow]. You won't see Batman or Superman. We're on production on Batman V Superman now. So you'll see characters like The Atom or Firestorm, but no not Batman or Superman right now [on TV]. It's a separate universe than film so that the filmmakers can tell the story that's best for film. While we explore something different in a different corner of the DC universe. We will not be integrating the film and television universes."
    I think we all pretty much figured this. So expect a different Flash and Green Arrow if they ever end up in the Justice League made by director Zack Snyder.


    Now I will point out just because Arrow won't be connected to Batman v Superman does not mean Stephen Amell and by extension Grant Gustin (The Flash) can't be in the Justice League. Now hear me out.....What is one of the most famous comic events DC has put out? Crisis on Infinite Earths. Basically their is multiple earths, with multiple characters just on different paths in the comic worlds. So hypothetically speaking if Zack Snyder wanted Amell and Gustin to play Arrow and The Flash in Justice League he could. They would simply be playing another version of Arrow and Flash in a separate universe! While still playing another version on TV. But that's just a fans dream on something will will probably never happen...

Momoa of course once again tries to play off that its all rumors but than Kimmel showed him the Variety confirmed report. Then Momoa got quiet and admitted that it be an exciting job!

    Jason Momoa Has Been Cast as 'Aquaman' in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Afterall!



    Khal Drogo you massive lair! After months of speculation that Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones) was being considered for a role in Batman v Superman it seems it may indeed been true! This comes off massive denials from the acting even stating that he was offended anyone would consider him as 'Aquaman' in a movie. This also comes off of years of social ridicule the character has gotten as the most useless character on the Justice League on shows like Family Guy.

    Now HitFix has learned from their sources that Jason Momoa is going to play Arther Curry and Zack Snyder is "finalizing his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon," Aquaman also will be pretty pissed off at the surface world for what the World Engine did to the Indian Ocean in Man of Steel.While this report claims that it's for Batman v Superman and Nikki Finkie report said Aquaman would be in Justice League. So it may be a small cameo towards the end of the Batman v Superman setting up Justice league and not a secondary character like Wonder Woman.

    This should be also taken with a small grain of salt though. While HitFix is a reputable website they aren't known for casting update like The Hollywood Reporter or Deadline. But that doesn't take away the fact he has been rumored for months!

    :: UPDATE :: - The Hollywood Reporter has just confirmed that Jason Momoa will indeed play the King of Atlantis! Jason Momoa also posted this photo on his Instagram several days ago...

    Jason Momoa Doesn't See Himself As 'Aquaman' But Definitely 'Lobo'!


    Jason Momoa attended the Eastern European Comic-Con today and during the panel was once again asked about Batman vs Superman. He of course denies the same old rumor that he might be Aquaman in Zack Snyder's Batman vs Superman or Justice League. But then he mentions that he definitely sees himself as everyone's favorite intergalactic anti-hero Lobo!

    Let us not forget two weeks ago the guys over at Batman-News claim Jason Momoa is indeed signed onto Batman vs Superman as an unspecified character.....But that has yet to be confirmed. Lastly, Lobo was actually linked back in 2012 to Will Beall's scrapped Justice League screenplay. It's entirely possible that Zack Snyder and co will use elements from that script since it has yet to be released to the public.
