The last few days have brought tidbits of news on
Batman vs. Superman but nothing major, i.e., no
Man of Steel sightings just yet.
Excruciating pain remember?.. anyway, here's what we have.
First off, today cinematographer Larry Fong,
seemed to dismiss rumors that the
card in the pic he shared on Instagram has anything to do with an appearance by
The Joker in the film.
Yet since Larry has
actually posted what could be considered
Batman vs. Superman teasers, you
can't not go there can you? - like we've said before, coverage on what's really going on behind the scenes during filming is guess work at best. Fun times. And while we agree with Steve over at Collider..

'Itch' is definitely the word, especially when you
hear Jesse Eisenberg talk to MTV, about what convinced him to play Lex Luthor:
“The character is, luckily, a really great character” (..) “Actors can sometimes find really cool things in characters that aren’t written well. This character is written really well.”
He goes on to say the one thing he doesn't love, is getting recognized more often:
“You’re just exposed to more people, so walking down the street is more annoying.”
Who knew Lex was so modest. While Jesse has said he's not arriving in Detroit until mid-June, Ben Affleck has definitely joined Henry in the Motor City and appears to be settling in. A Detroit TV station caught up with him at an area gym Sunday. You can
see the pics on their site. And
Kevin Smith just shared more details on the Batman suit during
his latest podcast:
"If you want to see what this f'ing suit looks like, you just go to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, go to the third book: Hunt the Dark Knight. It's the exact f'ing outfit he's wearing. That's why I hugged that guy all those months ago (Man of Steel Q&A), I f'ing weep. When I saw it I was like, "Oh my God, you're doing a f'ing outfit I never imagined I'd see in a movie in my lifetime.""
You can listen to the part where he mentions the suit, teasing there could be more than one (and see the artwork) at about
1:35. Thanks for the heads-up
Juan Mimendi.
As for Gal Gadot, we now have a much better look at her in costume as Diana Prince, on the very
French set of
Batman vs. Superman Friday.

You can find
everything else from that day in our wrap. Over the weekend Gal was
spotted back in Tel Aviv taping a commercial for a clothing company. But
as you can see work continues ahead of a busy shooting schedule at the
Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac.
