San Diego Comic Con news
So what a comic con San Diego Comic Con 2017 has been, from the toys, games, geek news and movie trailers dropped! it had something for everyone!
Pacific Rim: Uprising: So I loved Pacific Rim when the first trailer dropped back in 2013! I remeber me and Phil hounded Vue Swansea to know if there were going to be preorders for tickets! I also remember leaving the Cinema like a little kid throwing my fists like I was a giant Jaeger beating a giant Kaiju!! I was 25!! It went into development hell and now Pacific Rim: Uprising is upon us.
Pacific Rim: Uprising is set further in the future with a new lineup of pilots and new Jaegers, led by Pentecost's son (John Boyega) Out March 2018.
Ready Player One: Now I seen movie news online saying there was a movie being made by the legendary Steven Spielberg and I've seen the book (yet to read it!) and it had been highly recommended by people online. It looks like a mash of a virtual reality gaming world meets real life and I cannot wait I think it looks amazing! I've ordered a book and will give a review when I finish it!! Out March 2018.
Marvel Cinematic Universe: So everyone knows about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Widow etc. We are into Marvels Phase 3 of movies and there were lots of news released throughout comic con, news that even 3 weeks later are still being dropped!
Avengers: Infinity War:So the next big Avengers movie had some footage dropped, I've read online what its meant to show and the reactions for it are incredible.

Still awaiting new trailer will review when it drops. Out April 2018.

Jusice League: So a new trailer dropped for Justice League and I can say it had a brilliant response from fans everywhere!! It brought intrigue and a lot of thrills and action with a dash of comedy! It shows the world has become different since the death of Superman crime rates have increased and the Bat of Gotham has not been seen since the death of Superman! Batman/Bruce Wayne with the help of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman are forming a team of superheroes to fight against an enemy who was hinted at in the Batman V Superman movie.
No Star Wars News!Not happy that there was no Star Wars Trailer!
Batman News: Future of Batman and Geoffrey Dean Morgan Batman?
So you know I love Batman!! Rumours have been hitting the internet that DC were considering phasing out Batfleck, hes older, he may want out of the role, get someone else in perhaps?
Now San Diego Comic Con was the best place for DC to announce it but Ben Affleck reiterated his ocmmitment to the DC universe. Affleck seemed to have laid the speculation to rest during San Diego Comic Con, where he reaffirmed his interest in the role, dropping the mic as he confirmed his commitment to The Batman, which will be directed by War for the Planet of the Apes filmmaker Matt Reeves.
"Batman is the coolest f*cking part in any universe - DC, Marvel - it's incredible, and I'm so thrilled to do it," Affleck said during the Warner Bros. Comic Con panel. "I know there's this misconception that because I didn't direct it I wasn't enthusiastic about it; it's f*cking amazing... and with Matt Reeves doing it, it's like I'd be a f*cking ape on the ground for Matt Reeves - never mind being Batman! It's incredible! So I'm really blown away and excited and it's a great time in the DC Universe. You're going to see some stuff from Justice League that we're really really proud of, and I'll think you'll see why I'm really excited to be Batman."
Reeves addressed the rumors himself, confirming Affleck will be donning the cowl for the movie — and despite the sudden news that DC will be establishing a separate, independent banner of standalone films that will operate separately of the shared cinematic universe, Reeves said "of course" his film will very much be part of the wider DC Cinematic Universe that is home to Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill's Superman and the rest of the Justice League.
With Reeves saying that he'll be moving away from the script originally penned by Affleck and Geoff Johns, fans speculated if "starting again" applied to all aspects of the production — including its leading man.
Of course, the role could just be recast after Justice League in the event of an Affleck departure — after all, audiences are familiar with the idea of a different actor playing the same Batman: Michael Keaton starred in Batman and Batman Returns, with Val Kilmer taking over for Batman Forever. Kilmer was then replaced by George Clooney, with all three actors' Bruce Wayne / Batman having shared the same continuity and experiences. Christian Bale next donned the cowl for Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, a reboot separated from the past iteration of films, with Affleck's Batman operating in its own universe that was launched with 2013's Man of Steel.
Those pesky rumors from earlier this summer said Warner Bros. would "gracefully" usher out Affleck's Batman, which could mean very different things: would Affleck go, but Batman remain? Or would Affleck's departure lead to the retirement — or maybe the death of — this older, weathered superhero, leaving the DCEU without a Batman?
Whatever happens to Batman post Justice League, it’s doubtful Warner Bros. would want their flagship franchise to be without DC’s most popular character — even if Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman has begun to take a central role following the monumental critical and commercial success of her solo movie released earlier this summer. But with out-of-universe movies on the table, Warner Bros. could never go without a Batman — whether or not Affleck’s future with the DCEU is limited to a handful of films or lasts a decade like Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man run.
The studio is already developing a standalone Joker origin movie, which will feature an actor who isn’t Jared Leto; with Batman being the moneymaker that he is, it’s expected Warner Bros. will explore other, non-Affleck iterations of the character.
With a Flashpoint movie in the works, there very well could be a Thomas Wayne Batman movie. Or a live-action Gotham by Gaslight, which told the tale of a steampunk Batman who operated in 1889 and sought out Jack the Ripper. Batman has been a vampire, a pirate, a knight, a samurai, a Green Lantern, an actual Bat-Man, and Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s son who had more violent — and supernatural — means of protecting Gotham.
The possibilities are endless, and could even lead to the realization of a project fans have long hoped for....
In the 1999 animated series Batman Beyond, set decades in the future, a reclusive Bruce Wayne has retired as Batman and passes the superhero reigns to teenager Terry McGinnis who protects Neo-Gotham, a high-tech, futuristic version of Gotham City. With Warner Bros. launching a banner that will focus on films operating outside of the DC Cinematic Universe, the studio could soon launch a Batman Beyond franchise — whether or not it’s part of the current DCEU or runs concurrently as its own thing. Maybe Michael Keaton could be enlisted as the grizzled Bruce Wayne who retired from super heroics in disgrace.
He could be the future version of his Tim Burton Batman, or he could not be, playing an iteration of Batman completely separate from the Bat he was in 1989 and 1992. That’s the beauty of these potential standalone movies: they don’t have to be bound by any sense of continuity, past or present, and operating out of a universe where everything isn’t connected lends filmmakers and Warner Bros. the opportunity to tell stories they otherwise could never tell.
For now, Ben Affleck is the Batman — and whether or not he exercises the option of an exit strategy remains to be seen. Affleck next stars alongside Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher in Justice League, out November 17.
So theres always some truth to a leak. Possibly another actor may come in to portray the alternate Batman....a Mr Geoffrey
