Why I Almost Refused Point Blank to See Batman vs Superman

So you all probably heard the rumours last week. You know the rumour; about Justin Bieber being cast as Robin in the upcoming Batman vs Superman movie. It did send the internet into meltdown, after all. Even more so than when the internet found out that Ben Affleck would be playing Batman in the movie.

And yet, I somehow completely missed this rumour until someone asked me if there was any truth to the rumour.

I was devastated to hear that Bieber might be playing Robin in Batman vs Superman. I’m really looking forward to seeing it when it comes out in 2015. Bieber being in it would ruin it completely. I’m sorry to any Bieber fans reading this (yeah, I’m not really), but that kid is a tool, and doesn’t deserve any more work. Hell, he doesn’t even deserve to be famous, and I can’t wait for the next Boy Wonder (haha, get it?) to come along and replace him as the next hottest singing sensation for tweeny boppers across the world.

But enough of the Bieber bashing. I’m not really saying anything new other than he does not deserve more work that’ll increase his popularity (actually, would Bieber fans even be interested in the Batman vs Superman movie?).

The point is I was devastated to hear that Bieber could be playing Robin in the movie, and decided right then and there that there was absolutely no way in hell I would be seeing the movie. Ever. Krampus will start handing out treats to wicked children instead of tying them up in his sack and beating them before that ever happens. I’m also unsure how I completely missed that rumour. It is (or was) big news. I guess it’s become so natural for me to cover my ears shouting “Lalalalalalala!” whenever something Bieber related comes up that I don’t even notice I’m doing it anymore.

So yeah, for anyone else who somehow completely missed last week’s hottest rumour that sent the internet into meltdown, Bieber was said to be playing Robin in Batman vs Superman. Now you’re probably enraged and freaking out that the movie has been completely ruined before it even had a chance.

But a quick google search later, and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief; turns out the rumour was nothing more than a hoax. I can see Batman vs Superman once again.

Phew!

I don’t know how everyone else reacted to this rumour. Like I said, I completely missed it until it had been confirmed to be a hoax. And, frankly, I didn’t care enough to find out whether people were for or against Bieber as Robin. Although I think it would be pretty obvious based on whether or not they like Bieber or not. But the important thing is that Batman vs Superman has dodged a serious bullet, and once again I’m so looking forward to seeing it in 2015.

Peace out!

Will There Be A Justice League 2015 Movie?

Ok so let me begin with something everyone already knows: the sequel for Man of Steel is set to go ahead before the actual Man of Steel has even been released. Old news. As is the news (it can't really be called news if it's news to no one) that Zach Snyder, Christopher Nolan and David Goyer will be returning with the sequel. 

This has sparked speculation about whether or not the Man of Steel sequel is a sign that there'll be a Justice League movie. A sign that DC Comics is going to follow in Marvel's footsteps and develop a movie franchise. After all, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are some of the most famous superheroes around. 

Except there isn't too much online on whether or not there'll be a Justice League movie in the near future. Just a lot of speculation. As well as a little bit of heresay and conjecture (which are arguably the best kinds of evidence there is). Nothing solid. 

There being no Justice League movie seems just as likely as there being a movie. 

And then there was that announcement last week about the possibility of the Man of Steel sequel hitting the big screen as early as next year. That's certainly thrown some fuel into the speculation mill: why else announce a sequel before the original has even hit the big screen, especially in the such near future (did that make sense?)? 

Apart from creating a massively high stress work environment for everyone involved. 

So while we're still without any kind of solid evidence (which are overrated) about there being a Justice League movie. 

But then, there's also the whole "there's already a team of superheroes" in Hollywood thing. Is there really room for another team that is very similar?

Yeah, ok based on Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down, there is room for two different superhero teams in Hollywood. Although (and this is just my personal belief) that would just be sad and a sure sign that creativity in Hollywood is dead. Really dead. 

But it turns out that there might have been a Justice League movie on the cards back in 2008 when a Wonder Woman movie almost hit the big screen. There's rumours that that movie was the precursor to a Justice League movie. But that never happened because, you know, the writer's strike, which is a shame because Megan Gale would've rocked as Wonder Woman. Don't get me wrong, the writer's strike was important and for a good reason, it just makes me sad when I read about all the awesome movies and TV programs that we missed out on as a result (I should just stop looking back in the past, I guess). 

And just think about it, if that Wonder Woman movie had've gone ahead it could've been the Justice League we all flocked to the cinemas to see past year. Or we could've flocked to the cinemas twice to see two different superhero teams save the world. *cough, cough* Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down! 

Peace out!
