Moved from July 2015 to May 2016. No reason given. Weird.
Speaking as someone who completely loved Man of Steel and didn't understand the fierce backlash against Ben Affleck's casting, this really doesn't bother me. I'm always in favor of giving people all the time they need to do something right, and a Bats/Supes teamup movie could be insanely awesome if done well.

Good to know you're m'kay. I'm all for giving them more time to get it right. I too loved Man of Steel and want Superman/Batman (or whatever the hell they're calling it) to be the big success it should be.

Part of me is concerned that Snyder and Goyer just want more time to think of how to cram more potential Justice Leaguers into this movie...or need more time because that's what Warner Brothers might be demanding of this movie; Wonder Woman's in it, and there's that rumor about John Stewart, and I think there was another rumor about putting the Flash in it, as well. I know those last two are only rumors at the moment, but I really want to see this movie done right. Maybe it will be. Maybe it won't. Maybe it'll have four, five, or six (or more) JL cameos and be good...maybe it'll only have the three officially confirmed and suck. Time will tell, and now there's more of it.

Maybe they're trying to re-write Goyer's hack script.

More likely they got scared off by Avengers 2.

I would be too. No movie will be able to stand up to that.

Yup, it's gonna be a monster. But then so is Batman/Superman.
My thought is that WB wanted to avoid 2015 altogether. Disney has two guaranteed juggernauts on deck with Avengers 2 in the summer and the new Star Wars in the winter, and I really can't imagine any movie doing better than those two. WB probably doesn't want to settle for #3, even though the May 2016 date they picked is also taken by another unannounced Marvel movie. Scuttlebutt seems to think that movie is either Dr Strange or Planet Hulk.

I've tried to be positive about it but honestly I don't have an ounce of faith in WB and this movie at this point.

Feige has said they are nowhere near even talking about that movie yet, although he admitted it would be awesome, because he loved the comic.

You'd think that with how much people loved Hulk in Avengers they'd try to capitalize on that and work on a new Hulk movie.

Yeah, but everyone expected one much sooner, like released alongside Thor 2 and Cap 2.

Well, by the time The Avengers came out, Cap and Thor were already well into Pre-Production, and they don't want to clog up the Summer with a bunch of Superhero movies. 2 a year with Marvel. Smart idea.
If they do another Hulk, it would probably come around post Avengers 2.

And I want to see the Hulk shrank down to the size of Ant-Man and go on a miniature rampage.

I won't be seeing this movie. What a horrible choice of Lex Luthor on all levels. Ugh.

I like that choice. He was really good in The Social Network, and if they're approaching Luthor as an evil (more evil?) Mark Zuckerberg then this could really work.
Also, Jeremy Irons is Alfred. Jeremy Irons! How fucking cool is that?!
Man, once again the Internet Geek Hive Mind is losing it's shit over a casting annoucement. And once again I disagree 100%.

I thought Cranston was confirmed as Luthor, not just rumored. Eisenberg could work as young Luthor I guess, even though he isn't supposed to be an awkward stutterer, but as the adult Luthor who's going to take on Cavill, that's a complete joke. Yes Luthor can't physically match Superman anyway, but I like the "All-Star Superman" interpretation of the character: someone who's pushed himself to his mental and physical peak; the most capable human (in his own mind at least) in a world where humans have just become obsolete, and he's pissed about it.

This doesn't make much semse to me. I can see what they're going for, and it'll probably work within the context of that movie, but...
And yeah, Jeremy Irons is awesome, but so is Arnold. Didn't make him right for Freeze.
