It seems like only yesterday we were wondering how Batman could ever exist in cinematic form now that Christopher Nolan has moved on. But just days after announcing the MAN OF STEEL sequel would be BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN, we’re now in the stages of speculating who the hell will take on Batman. Two Hollywood heartthrobs, that are considered to star in everything, have already been rumoured, but Cosmic Book News are saying that one actor has a definite screen test opposite Henry Cavill. TEEN WOLF (the TV series) star Tyler Hoechlin is being heavily considered with his screen test due to take place soon. Hoechlin comes from a similar TV background to Cavill.
The site also claims that their DC connection has given information on the plot, which will essentially be two films combined, as both the MAN OF STEEL sequel and a Batman reboot were in pre-production.
The sequel is set a year after Man of Steel, and the world is still getting used to having this powerful god on the planet who isn’t fully trusted by everybody. Batman certainly doesn’t trust Superman. Superman doesn’t trust Batman; either of which causes the two to clash when they initially meet. They do however pair up to defeat the villains (not 100% confirmed who the villains are). COULD be Luthor and Joker, but only a select few really know that. Luthor is definitely in the sequel and he doesn’t like Superman, believing him a threat to the planet.
Sounds pretty run of the mill and all information should be taken with a pinch of salt at this point, but with production set t begin in early 2014, we’re bound to hear some concrete information soon.
