February 1, 2014: How Warner Bros. is Rebranding Superman/Batman Movie

Superman/Batman Movie Mark Hughes at Forbes.com has written another excellent article which delves deeper into the recent Warner Bros. press release, looking beyond the casting announcements, to see how this upcoming Superman/Batman movie differs from "Man of Steel" in tone and branding. Here's an excerpt from the article...

    What we have here is a Batman vs. Superman movie written by an Oscar-winning screenwriter, starring an Oscar-winning filmmaker and screenwriter, with a growing cast of other Oscar-nominated and winning performers, from a visionary director. Snyder has had more control from the start, including development of the story and characters (something I've advocated since he was first announced as director of Man of Steel). Affleck will bring his enormous filmmaking talents to bear on shaping characters and probably story as well (something I've wanted for Batman, since I began endorsing Affleck last year to take over the Batman franchise). And Terrio will use Goyer's original script as a template on which to write his own screenplay. Warner will want to keep most of the focus on this group on creative talents, to help give the film its own new identity and send the clear message that they're very serious about doing whatever is necessary for this to project work and to be it as good as it can be.
