Despite the slew of Marvel news that has been gracing the internet for the past few weeks, DC has been very tight-lipped about their properties and the future of their cinematic universe. This could be simply because, in comparison to Marvel, they are just beginning their journey to a multi-superhero juggernaut, rather than right in the midst of it. However, the hope of their new franchise seems to be resting on the fate of Batman vs. Superman, to be released in 2015, as they are packing it full of superheroes that will eventually inhabit the Justice League.

Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Alfred Pennyworth, and several other minor characters have already been casted, but the newest announcement is that Cyborg will also be making an appearance in the movie, played by Ray Fisher.

But wait– I thought that this was supposed to be a Batman/Superman team-up film that led into the Justice League– not a Justice League movie itself. Why cram all these superheroes into one movie if it’s not for a team-up?

Apparently, DC plans to have them all cameo  in different parts of the movie, in order to familiarize the audience with them without bogging down the script with too many heroes. Will it work? We’ll see. Personally, I like Marvel’s solo-films-building-into-team approach more than DC’s add-on tactic, but to be fair, this movie hasn’t actually come out yet– it hasn’t even started shooting!

We’ll have to wait until 2015 to see how successful Batman vs. Superman will be as it goes head-to-head against Captain America 3, both premiering on the same day.
