Batman vs. Superman

Batman vs. Superman in I Am Legend

Over the weekend we got a ton of emails from readers who saw I Am Legend. You see, during the opening sequence in an abandoned Time Square, a huge billboard is visible advertising a Batman vs. Superman feature film which will hit theaters on 05-15-10. Fans have started to speculate that this could be the Justice League movie. As we’ve told you before, director George Miller recently announced that the Justice League film was still on the fast track, but would be released under a new title. And rumor has it that a fight between The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel is a main focal point of the Justice League script.

But don’t get too excited, producers are saying that the poster in the movie is a completely fictional creation. The sight gag was an addition to the film by screenwriter/producer Akiva Goldsman, who was originally attached to a Superman vs. Batman screenplay that never got produced. So calm down - there isn’t going to be a Batman vs. Superman movie just yet. A very cool easter egg indeed.

  • SUCH A F#CK'N MOVIE COULD SOMEDAY BE POSSIBLE???????????????

    Yeah! If NOLAN directing it would be F#CK'N AWESOME. REALLY!!!

    But, IF IT WAS MADE, what about the THIRD Batman movie? Rumored to be entitled 'SHADOW OF THE BAT' ????
  • I was distracted by that billboard for a good five minutes, it drew my attention away from the painfully awful CGI lions.
  • $hnn@zy
    LOL. Thats funny I was thinking the same thing when I went and saw IAL, I was like "OMG this must be some kind of sly way of advertising, that should be awesome." But I guess it was like slusho for cloverfield just another thing to excite us then shoot us down.

    Also in the video store sequences of I Am Legend you can see Movie Posters for Green Lantern as well as Teen Titans.

    As a comic geek I very much appreciated those subtle tilts of the hat to projects I hope to see actually come to fruition.
  • KEL
    Whoa! GL and Teen Titans too? Really? Do you have any pictures,bud? :-)


    I'm looking forward to JLA,I hope it will be good. DK looks good and I hope Man of Steel is coming soon.
  • KEL
    Hmmm. A Batman VS. Superman is usually considered a taboo among comix fans....but a Superman Batman teamup film? AWESOME!!

    The only way Batman could beat Superman is with kryptonite or some other strategy to render him powerless. If he can't acomplish that,then he's DEAD. Superman would kick his ass a thousand different ways,and that's coming from a hardcore Batman fan.
  • I also saw the Teen Titans and Green Lantern posters. I knew DC finally get around to making good movies would be around the end of the world.
  • wow
    batman vs superman? Im a comic geek , and thats the symbol for the batman & superman comics, why advertise this as a versus movie, you know there friends, so the vs is like godzilla vs king kong...Aliens V Predator, Freddy Vs Jason,

    the JLA movie will be coming out before this movie happens, and before that theres the superman movie, and before that is the Dark Knight movie....dont ya think we had enough of the batman superman stuffed down our throat to make us throw up

    Also, being the broadway nerd I am, I noticed the "Lestat" poster is up in the background too when in reality that poster never hung at the same time as the "Legally Blonde" one. It was some great subtle foreshadowing on the editors parts and I applaud them for such attenton to detail.

    "Completely fictional creation"? Oh really? So there's no Batman/Superman comic book that uses this same logo?

    Not a versus, but a team-up.
  • ciji, as of the second I write this, yes the movie billboard advertisement is a completely fictional creation.
  • KEL
    I think what he means is that the poster is VERY similar to the one used on the current Superman/Batman monthly comic book. :-)
  • anthony

  • Rangeboy
    I'm not much of a comic book nerd(although I come from the same town as Alan Moore) but I admit the Batman Vs/and Superman poster was the best bit. Also I noticed that the Dr played by Emma Thompson and inventor of the virus is called Dr Krippen, the namesake of famous murderer Dr Harvey Hawley Crippen.
  • john
