"Stan Lee Wants to Cameo in Batman v Superman?…Stan Lee would like to cameo in Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. Actually there are several articles all over the web discussing this but I believe I have tracked the story back to it’s source. Batman: City of Scars Fan FilmI have found for you dear readers, a really cool Batman fan film for your viewing pleasure! This fan film, by Bat in the Sun Productions, is a 30 minute feature called Batman: City of Scars! The fan film was written and directed by Aaron Schoenke, and produced by Aaron and Sean Schoenke. San Diego Comic Con Invaded by Harley Quinn in DC All Access Bonus ClipIn this exclusive DC All Access bonus clip, Tiffany talks to Harley Quinn co-writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner about Harley’s San Diego Comic-Con one-shot, as well as a new upcoming project featuring everyone’s favorite lovestruck lunatic. ‘Batman v Superman’ Photo Shoot Happened@ClayEnos retweeted the photos and added, “What a fun, historic day. Thanks to everyone involved.” Then, Mr.Fong replied, “Not gonna lie; I got a bit of the chills there for a second.”This, of course, sparked some conversation. When pressed about whether the world would see the photos in question at Comic-Con in a couple of weeks he replied, “Weeks!? We’ve just started filming this thing. I’m as excited as the next guy, but my stuff won’t be seen for quite some time. DC Collectibles Releases New Batman Figs!Sneak Peek at Upcoming ‘Batman Eternal’ Arcs!Batman Eternal is DC’s weekly Batman series and it’s pretty frakkin’ good. It bucks the tradition of weekly books and manages to be a solid, gripping read.Well, big changes are on the horizon for the book and we can now bring you a peek of what’s coming next! Batman and ReligionCheck out this interesting article about Bruce Wayne’s possible religious affiliations. The article is on adherents.com and discusses the disagreements about what religion Batman is most likely affiliated with. Two More New Gotham TV SpotsNow that the premiere date has been announced for Gotham it seems it’s time to step up the teasing, raise the anticipation for the show. And so to accomplish just that Fox has debut two more new Gotham TV spots. I found the spots in an article on uproxx.com, written by Dan Seitz. Fake ‘Batman v Superman’ Script Writer Spills All!Most of the ‘Spoilers’ for Batman v Superman so far have stemmed from a fake shooting script. Wild rumors began to circulate that Kevin Smith was the source of the hoax, a red herring released by DC to throw us off the trail of real news. Smith came out and denied writing it, which left the question of just who did. ‘Gotham’ to Premiere in September!The start date for FOX’s upcoming Batman drama Gotham has been set! The show will premiere on September 22nd at 8 PM eastern time. Set your DVRs now! DC Announces ‘Batman 75′ Comic-Con Panels!Comic-Con International in San Diego is THE place where geek news is broken and history is made. To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Batman, DC is pulling out all the stops! Here’s a rundown of what you can expect to see if you are lucky enough to be at SDCC: Doomsday in ‘Batman v Superman’?In the comics, Doomsday kills Superman, who is dead for a full year. Introducing Supes in the last film and knowing he’s going to be in Justice League, where’s the drama? If they don’t use Doomsday to kill him, why have him in the film at all? He doesn’t really have any other function even in print. I just can’t see that being anything more than the crappy appearance of Bane in Batman and Robin."
And those are just the headlines. It was a big weekend for the Caped Crusader, so go back and look at all the great articles we brought you while keeping an eye out for the upcoming week’s news!
