San Diego Comic-Con came and went with a whole bunch of madness in between. If you followed IGN’s coverage last weekend, you might have noticed that there were quite a few notable pieces of news that came out of the event.

You can still see all of it over at our Comic-Con index, but we thought it’d be fun to break down the best of the best across movies, TV, and comics.

The surprise of the con, Warner Bros.’ reveal that the sequel to Man of Steel will actually be a Batman/Superman movie shook Hall H like Krypton in its final hours. We know almost nothing about the film aside from the fact that director Zack Snyder and scripter David Goyer will be back, and that it is scheduled for 2015. Oh, and that it’s going to probably be called Batman Vs. Superman. Yes, the Dark Knight returns…

July 23, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

By Mark Hughes, Contributor

San Diego Comic-Con generated big news this week with the official announcement that Warner Bros. will follow up their recent Superman reboot film Man of Steel with a team-up movie featuring Superman and a brand new rebooted Batman (it will not have any relation to the Batman films by Christopher Nolan), which will apparently be titled either Batman vs. Superman or Superman vs. Batman (WB has registered several URLs, and the film’s writer David Goyer confirmed the potential titles). …read more

DC Team-Up Likely Called Batman Vs. Superman

July 22, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

So a Superman/Batman team-up movie is happening. Director Zack Snyder’s announcement at the Warner Bros. panel on Saturday was perhaps the biggest news out of Comic-Con this weekend. And while we know almost nothing about the film, it turns out Man of Steel co-writer David Goyer, who is also penning the sequel, let slip the likely name of the film at a different panel.

Goyer said the following at the Superman 75th Anniversary Panel, but the reveal was drowned out in the craziness of the day’s bigger Hall H panels: “We aren’t sure if the title will be Batman Vs Superman or Superman Vs Batman, but they will face off.” (Snyder did say on Saturday that that the iconic The Dark Knight Returns — wherein the two fight it out — will “inform” the film.)

Fans will be getting the Batman/Superman film they have been clamoring for, according to reports from The Hollywood Reporter. Man of Steel director Zach Snyder is reported to take the helm. While it seems that Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman in the film, no actor for Batman has yet been rumored. Man of Steel scribe David Goyer is set to pen the script.

Also rumored: a Flash film for 2016 and a JLA movie for 2017.

The Warner Bros. panel is happening at San Diego Comic-Con, and full details are expected to be released then.

Goyer Talks Da Vinci's Demons and… Dracula?

April 11, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

Debuting Friday on Starz, following the final episode of Spartacus, Da Vinci’s Demons portrays the famous Leonardo Da Vinci (Tom Riley) in his early days, creating incredible inventions while encountering mysterious and powerful foes.

The series comes from David Goyer, whose many credits include co-writing Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and writing the upcoming Man of Steel.

I spoke to Goyer about his approach to Da Vinci and how far the show might veer into the realm of fantasy, as Da Vinci encounters the real life inspiration for Dracula, among other contemporaries.

IGN TV: You’ve mentioned how you had conversations with Starz about different historical figures that might be the basis for a TV series. What was it about Da Vinci that said to you, “That’s the one?”

TDK's Goyer Targets The Count of Monte Cristo

March 19, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

THR reports that David Goyer — best known for being a writer on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy as well as the upcoming Zack Snyder Man of Steel movie — will direct The Count of Monte Cristo for Constantin Films.

The classic Alexandre Dumas tale, which has already seen two films and inspired the ABC TV series Revenge, will still follow the plot of a wrongfully imprisoned young man in 19th century France who escapes to enact vengeance on those who put him there, but will have the stylistic dressings of recent classics-turned-blockbusters Sherlock Holmes and The Three Musketeers.

Man of Steel Takes the Dark Knight Approach

February 6, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

In a recent interview, screenwriter David Goyer explained his approach to Man of Steel, which, similar to his work on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, aims for a more believable and grounded Superman, leaving behind the larger-than-life portrayal we’ve seen in previous films.

“We’re approaching Superman as if it weren’t a comic book movie, as if it were real,” Goyer told Empire. “It just struck me that if Superman really existed in the world, first of all this story would be a story about contact. He’s an alien. You can easily imagine a scenario in which we’d be doing a film like E.T., as opposed to him running around in tights. If the world found out he existed, it would be the biggest thing that ever happened in human history.”
