August 29, 2014: Latest "Batman v Superman" Movie Rumors

There are all sorts of rumors doing the rounds at the moment regarding plot and character details for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", making it very hard to know what is true, what is rumor, and what is made-up nonsense.

For the sake of being complete, here are a few of the latest rumors that are gaining traction across the internet...

HitFix.com claims that they're hearing that Warner Bros. has set a mandate across its superhero movies stating that none of the films are to have any jokes in them. Supposedly the WB executive have stated that all the DC Comics movies are to retain a serious tone, with no gags or silliness throughout. The strange thing about this rumor is that HitFlix.com reports on it, but state in the same report that they have trouble believing it.

Another recent rumor (started by TheDevilsEye.com) states that Scoot McNairy is actually playing Jimmy Olsen, who had his legs crushed during the battle in Metropolis between Superman and General Zod in "Man of Steel", making him an amputee (hence the green screen leggings we sore McNairy wearing).

    "He now walks with the use of two prosthetic legs. He doesn't blame Superman for it [his loss of legs]. He feels grateful that Superman saved the world."

I guess we'll know whether this rumor pans out to be true or not once we see an official list of the roles being played by actors like Scoot McNairy, Tao Okamoto and Holly Hunter.
