[TCNs Weekly Rumor Roundup] 2015 Week 5

weeklyHello everyone and welcome to TCN’s very first Weekly Rumor Roundup. Starting Today, TCN will review all of the big rumors we’ve heard and lay the cards on the table for you, the fans. All of our rumors are brought to you by the official Twitter account of TCN’s Editor-In-Chief.

Each week, TCN will create one of these posts, reviewing all of the spoilers and rumors that Taylor has posted. It should be reminded that most of these are rumors, spoilers, and potential leaks. He does not claim that each and every one of these is 100% accurate, its just the information he hears from his network of sources.

Without further ado, lets see what Taylor posted this week:

UntitledDC Cinematic Universe

  • Sounds like Jake Gyllenhaal passed on Suicide Squad because he didnt want to play a villain, but sounds like he’s still on WB/DC’s radar.
  • Marvel has the MCU, and it sounds like DC is setting up the DCCMV (DC Cinematic Multi-Verse).
  • Sounds like DC is setting up their Cinematic universe primarily with “Pre-established” heroes
  • DC also isn’t planning to follow Marvels “post credit scene” plan.

bvsBatman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice

  • Michael Shannon has been spotted near the set of Batman/Superman. Could Zod return in the sequel? Rumors point to him being Doomsday.
  • Sounds like Cyborg’s role in Batman V Superman: DOJ is just gonna be a glorified cameo, one of that most non-fans may not catch at first
  • For those who are worried Batman V Superman is “overcrowded” don’t realize that most of the characters are just quick bit parts.
  • The focus is Batman and Superman, with it mostly being about Superman.
  • Batman will get a quick origin bit though. Thomas and Martha Wayne took him to see “Zorro.”
  • Aquaman and Wonder Woman will both appear in BvS:DOJ already being “heroes” for several years
  • Aquaman is already “King Aurther/Orin” and didn’t appear in MOS because it was a “surface world problem” but is mad that his ocean suffered
  • Wonder Woman has already left home as emissary to the world of man, her reasons for not getting involved in Zod’s invasion will be explained
  • Zack Snyder has a huge respect to the source material and doesn’t want to change anything dramatic without it being necessary
  • The DC “Trinity” will be present for the films “final battle,” Lex is the cause, but nothing of course will lead back to him.
  • Sounds like Amanda Waller will also be present in BvS:DOJ, setting up her role in Suicide Squad. It’s quick, but enough to lay groundwork.
  • Batman will have had Robin’s In the past. His cave will feel like something out of the comics. His trophy room and arsenal will be present.
  • Batman will be a master detective and his fighting style will mix several well know martial arts in a way that hasn’t been seen on film yet
  • Batman may already have Kryptonite and when it comes into play Superman has no idea why it’s affecting him.
  • Batman doesn’t trust Superman. He has yet to figure out is Superman is just playing a “long con” to earn trust after Zod’s invasion.
  • Amy Adams revealed she only has one scene with Ben Affleck in the entire Batman v Superman:DOJ, But was coy if it was Batman or Bruce Wayne.
  • She also only has one scene with Wonder Woman and one scene with Aquaman.
  • Makes you wonder if that “ONE” scene is the JLA reveal at the end of the film.
  • Sources say the Batman v Superman: DOJ trailer is set to hit within the next 2 weeks. Those who’ve seen it say it is “mind-blowing.”

  • I’ve heard there will be NO flashbacks, but the rumors of Darth Vader appearing seem more and more factual
  • Many fans are freaking out thinking Luke takes the mantle and becomes Vader, this isn’t the case
  • The leaked concept art from a few months ago was a lot more revealing than anyone realizes. Esp the one of the baddie holding Vader’s helmetUntitled2
  • The “Awakening” is referring to the dormant force. The balance was created, and the next generation is getting their eyes opened.
  • The Empire still has a presence because the masses don’t know certain key players died in ROTJ
  • Michael Arndt left the film in 2013 because he based it on the Thrawn Trilogy, but Disney wanted something fresh
  • They felt fans deserved more than an adaptation of the stories we already know. They wiped the slate clean and are doing that now.
  • Fans should pay attention to Star Wars Rebels. Disney is going to be having some subtle (and other not-so-subtle) ties put into play.
  • Just because we see Vader doesn’t necessarily mean we have a Skywalker under the hood. Untitled
  • Kylo Ren is doing a whole lot more than just wielding a cross-guarded light saber. Untitled1
  • The next trailer is gonna shoot a lot of theories right out of the sky, and give birth to a whole lot more.
