Rumor: Batman vs. Superman Casting News Upcoming

The scuttlebutt surrounding a female character in the upcoming film by Zack Snyder has it rumored to be Mercy Graves (Luthor’s female bodyguard from the Superman: The Animated Series), Wonder Woman or a love interest for Bruce Wayne. The sometimes dead on, sometimes totally off (as happens with rumors), Latino Review posted today with further speculation on the Batman vs. Superman casting.

El Mayimbe doesn’t give us a character or any names of the actresses considered, but according to his sources it sounds like it may not be Wonder Woman. It sounds more and more like a love interest for Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck). Four actresses are up for the role and an announcement could be made by Warner Bros. any minute now.

“Do I think it’s Wonder Woman? No. I put in some calls and the professionals I know that work in talent don’t think so either. They think it’s a love interest for Bruce Wayne. Could both them and I be wrong? Sure, anything is possible.”

None of this strikes me as major breaking news or revelations but it could mean lots of answers on casting and possible plot points coming forward over the next few weeks. El Mayimbe promises an update as soon as he gets the names of the possible actresses. Stay tuned to Dark Knight News for any leaks, rumors, speculation or official statements on this highly anticipated film.

Carlos Cabaleiro

Carlos Cabaleiro illustrator+designer+storyteller I grew up just outside of New York. The eldest of three talented siblings; fascinated by my imagination and superheroes. Relocated to Florida and attended Miami International School of Art and Design. Worked as a freelance graphic designer to pay the bills. Somewhere along the way, I ended up taking a detour and now I'm back to making a living from my talent. Back and better than ever, I'm making my way in the world armed with my imagination, skill, talent, determination and the love and support of my fiancee, Kristina, and my family and friends. I now reside in Central Florida and share my studio with my sidekick, Grayson the dog wonder (he doesn't draw but he likes to keep me company). I am influenced by Bruce Timm, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Michael Golden, Egon Schiele, Leonardo D'vinci, Alex Ross, Wally Wood, Carl Banks and Don Newton. I focus primarily on illustration dealing with all things fandom, with a strong focus on sequential storytelling (storyboards, comics). I've worked for clients such as Ocean Drive magazine, Bacardi advertising and High Impact Comics. A HUGE Batman fan. I get excited for DC Comics, anything by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, James Robinson, FX's Justified and really cool action figures. I love to read and mostly lean towards fantasy or classics. Some favorites are: Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, anything by Edgar Allan Poe, Raylan Givens short stories by Elmore Leonard and my all-time favorite, Dracula by Bram Stoker.
