I must make it clear that before I start, these 5 questions cannot be answered BY the movie it self, they must all have the ability to be answered BEFORE the movie drops, so none of these questions are plot, story or script oriented, thank you for reading...
1. What type of Lex Luthor are we really going to see? : This question has been on my mind for a while, with reports that ranhge from Lex being in a gang, to being filled with tattoos, to having long silky beautiful sexual fantasy provoking hair, also we heard about Lex Corp being a different company in this encarnation, while we saw a new logo too that does not give away much. I have high hopes for Jesse Eisenberg on this role, his work on multiple movies in a short time have made me a fan of the young actor.
WHEN CAN THIS BE ANSWERED? : Easily this could be answered by a production report but then again those have failed in the past so I lean here towards the first Trailer for the movie that reveals a little bit of Luthor OR maybe a viral marketing campaign by DC/WB about the daily planet reporter Lois Lane doing a story on Lex.
2. What role will Scoot (LOL SCOOT) McNiary play ?: Recently the actor (who's parents clearly have a sense of humor) revealed that he is indeed a part of the Zack Snyder helmed movie, of course speculation on his ham ran wild for months, personally I hope he plays Flash altho I do admit he has a Hal Jordan look to him but since I do not want Hal jordan to be part of this future encarnation of the Justice league I can't lean towards that.
WHEN CAN THIS BE ANSWERED? : Soon? really just like the release of Batman first look, The Batmobile, Batman's head shot, Superman new costume and other details about the movie they all came very randomly so I expect this to be dropped at any moment also.
3. Will we get a Video game along with the movie? : We all know that Rocksteady can give us a great game (Arkham Asylum & Arkham City) we also know that WB Canada did a good game with Arkham Origins, we know either of these studios could give us a game worthy of the movie, imagine a sandbox game with Superman, Batman & Wonder woman as playable characters and while Lex could also be a character in the game I do wonder if they would stick to the story of the movie or go with a little bit more freedom...
WHEN CAN THIS BE ANSWERED? : After Arkham Knight drops or maybe E3 2015 but then again Rocksteady is busy finishing AK, WB Canada is making a Arkham Origins Sequel or so the rumors say...But I remain hopeful
4. Will WB/DC embrace the fans ? : for more than a year now and even more recently is the past months the number of fan posters, theory, specutlation, ETC has been non stop online, now the big question is will DC/WB let the fans be part of the promotion/marketing of this movie? will we get a chance, a constest, a competition something that makes fans get involved? it's one thing to do a poster for fun but imagine the AMAZING art we could get by WB/DC announcing that the BEST fan made poster sent to them will be made official in some way or will be used on the promotion for the films? will it might remind a few of twilight I can assure you now that we will see TEAM BATMAN & TEAM SUPERMAN art soon enough, but in fairness WB/DC should make an online marketing strategy for fans to submitt art, it can get a little fixed by proffesionals and be made official into maybe the last poster for the film? I know would love that specially to see a CBM.com user win! (Hi Doopie!)
WHEN CAN THIS BE ANSWERED? : Late 2015 early 2016.
5. How will DC/WB make sure to make fans forever remember the most historic and anticipated super hero team up? : let's face it no matter if you are a Marvel, DC, casual or just not even a fan EVERYONE knows Batman & Superman they are part of the worlds culture, they are beyond comics, they are not just characters anymore they are inspirations, they are models to which people take pride, they are part of our live every single day it can be something as small as going out for any reason and seeing a child or adult with a Supes or bats shirt/hat/shoes/belt/socks/ETC...even more if you spend your time online where anything and everything revolves back to DC VS MARVEL or Bats v Supes Vs [Insert Marvel hero/team here], this is historic, for the first time in over 75 years these 2 will be REAL and they will share not an universe but a world, a scene and a friendship (and a fight!), this has to be hyped as such because at the end of the day this movie no matter how much it takes in the box office, no matter the reviews, the acting, the script, the dialogue, the skinny or buff actors, the costumes or the inspirations, this movie is HISTORIC.
WHEN CAN THIS BE ANSWERED? : Comic Con 2015, DC/WB launches a website dedicated to this movie and hypes it as such, we get a trailer just for comic con '15 with a Supes/Bats interraction, we get Henry & Ben IN COSTUME at the event (BUT ONLY AT THE END and for 5 mins or less) any or all of these things are possible and should be done along with more to make sure this movie is given the historic value it is worth.
