Henry Cavill not coming back is a shame.  Sure, his movies were terrible, but I think it had more to do with the writing and directing.

Ben Affleck is also reportedly leaving.  I still haven't seen Justice League, but I liked Ben Affleck as Batman in BvS.
TVman is dead. I killed him and took his posts.

Yeah, honestly there was only one problem in the hero casting for these movies, and that was Ezra Miller as Barry Allen. Can't speak for the Aquaman actor, because I don't think even DC knows what his character is. When the actors were allowed to be their characters, they were all fine.

Now, Jesse Eisenberg on the other hand...ugh...

That was such a bizarre interpretation of Lex Luthor.  I think they know less about what they were doing with Lex than with Aquaman.

Personally, I have no idea why any self respecting actor would go anywhere near a DC property with the way things are.  It's a poisoned challice.

This show called "You choose poorly" certainly is unpredictable.

A conflicting statement from Cavill's agent says he is back in. I am not inclinded to believe them but what is the price of dignity these days?

Can we have less Batman, for reals? Give be Huntress and Question shenanigans duo. Staring Amy Acker and Jeffrey Combes. Please? Pretty please?

Bruce Wang.

They've actually decided to edit it out.  There's now conveniently placed shadow over his nether regions because the brass decided that his little fella's inclusion 'added nothing of value or substance to the tale'.

They should have kept it in just for LOL.

Sort of like in the 80's and 90's you would have random tits or some dude just swinging for a couple moments. A naked ripped guy walked away with buns of steel, a piece of meat for everyone to see. Everyone would nod in agreement of how much man was shown.

This is the right move honestly.  Art should tell a story and full frontal nudity in that scene really did add nothing.  I understand it was already hidden in the shadow anyway, to the point that it almost looked like nothing.  I believe they could have been even more subtle and kept it in.

Have they? The shadow was always there, it just had an outline of the mushroom-capped crusader. Pretty sure there are two versions of the comic - one with and one without.

I really hope this isn't the final look.  Just looks like a cheap generic clown.

You know, it isn't awful.  If you are trying to tell a story about a comedian clown that through tragedy ended up so damaged he became an insane monster the look works.  Also the look works because it isn't scary, it actually looks like a normal person in clown make up, and it is the funny friendly clown look...that actually makes it more terrifying to me for some reason.

I saw other photos..but that photo...looks menacing.

Though It kinda reminds me of my halloween costume. The joker is an amzingly flexible character. When I dressed up as Joker for Halloween and a comic con a few years ago I cut my hair during the week and it changed the look drastically. I hope he has 10 costumes in the movie.

I have to say that NWR is an excellent time capsule. It is good to see what peoples thoughts were at the time. Back in 2005 I had my own ideas on what Joker in a movie should be. I think what ended up on screen was pretty spot on, which was great.

Meh. Personally, I don't think the Joker look works in Live Action. The usually have to grotesque it up, which just looks bad compared to the comic or animated designs IMO.

Jack Nicholson pulled it off, though.

I think there's going to be a point where he has really clean makeup. In the announcement video the projection looks very different. It would be great if the movie was an anthology movie of origin stories.
