Zack Snyder took to twitter yesterday in order to not only share with the fans that Justice League is currently in the homestretch of filming but also to reveal a new look at The Dark Knight in the movie. Courtesy of Snyder himself, Batman’s Justice League version of his Batsuit has been revealed in all its armored, goggle-wearing glory.

Shane Black‘s 2013 film Iron Man 3 is arguably one of Marvel’s most original entries in their shared universe. And now, according to Rebecca Hall, it could have been even more so. Hall was speaking to the Toronto Sun at this years TIFF where she confirmed her role was originally supposed to be the villain instead of Guy Pearce’s Aldrich Killian, but was cut down because of Marvel’s fear of not selling toys.

MAIL BAG

Pawan Kadam writes:

As John and Jon noted on yesterday's mailbag that conglomeration of studios and diversification of characters is the new trend for comic book movies, do you think Warner Bros. would be willing to share their roster of DC comics characters with Universal or Paramount the same way Disney and Sony are doing it with Spider-Man?

Daniel Weiss writes:

Love all you do ever yday. Thank you for helping my love for Pop Culture grow every day! My friend and I have a bet based on box office results, and I would love to know who you think is going to win. He has Rogue One only, and I have Moana plus Fantastic Beasts. We are only counting money grossed for the film in their first four weeks of release. Who is going to win the bet?
