We got to hear some news next month at least

I'm sure will hear something soon since they start filming in Feb.

 

Exactlly! The production team is probably spreading out its press content to keep the movie freshly mentioned periodically.

Now the word is Dwayne Johnson could be playing John Stewart/Green Lantern:

 

Will Dwayne Johnson Play Green Lantern John Stewart?

[white_rushin]

Please no. He could be perfect for a number of other roles within the DCU. Give John Stewart to Denzel or Idris. Either of them would be perfect!

Come on, DC. Don't blow the chance to have a few big stars in this movie.

i dont think a Lantern will be in it, i think they'll stick to the Trinity for this film, wouldn't be surprised if they announced a Green Lantern film though

There could easily be a Lantern alter ego in it though, or some passing reference to set up future movies.

Yeah, exactly. Although John Stewart isn't much of a public figure, right?

Christina Wren played Ferris in Man of Steel. How that leads to Hal Jordan appearing remains to be seen in future movies.

[Speedy-D]

I thought she wasn't supposed to be Carol Ferris.

How could I confuse the two?

 

[Bosco685]

Hey, I did miss this though.

 

In looking up some of the hidden Easter Eggs in Man of Steel, did anyone catch this?

 

Christopher Meloni’s character is introduced to us as Colonel Hardy, but as the conflict between Zod’s loyalists and Kal-El begins, we’re reacquainted to the Colonel as his callsign, Guardian. For those not in the know, The Guardian is one of DC Comics’ oldest heroes, hearkening all the way back to the early 40s. In the comics, Guardian was a powerless police officer turned vigilante, and he even played a role in helping Superman during his mid-90s battle with Doomsday.

Me too!

Another Easter Egg.

 

REMAINS OF WEGTHOR

 

General Zod isn’t the only Kryptonian villain around. Another monstrous villain sent to the Phantom Zone was a Kryptonian named Jax-Ur. While Jax-Ur’s story varies over the decades, one constant is that his actions led to the destruction of Krypton’s moon, Wegthor. For this act, he is sentenced to the Phantom Zone. You know Jax-Ur. He was the bald scientist working with General Zod to locate the Kryptonian Codex. And back when we were on Krypton, we saw evidence of the crime that landed him in the Phantom Zone to begin with.

 

 

In modern versions of Jax-Ur’s story, the city of Kandor was located on Wegthor, and where there’s Kandor, there’s Brainiac.

Easter Egg #3 I totally missed as well that could show up in Batman vs Superman.

 

Much like Blaze Comics, the Metropolis skyline features a sign for Utopia Casino. In the DC Comics universe, Utopia Casino is a location in Metropolis owned by Tony Gallo and featured in the Superman Confidential storyline.

 

In the comics, Tony Gallo is responsible for bringing Kryptonite into contact with Superman, exposing his weakness.

It's starting to look like we need another Bosco list thread...
