Bat Boy

If they do this, I will nerd-rage my way into the WB boardroom and throw Batman toys at everyone. Injuring them severely, but not killing them. The real Batman taught me to never kill.

Basically, there's a big rumor that they may include Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Batman in an after-credits scene in the new Man of Steel movie, leading to a new Justice League film.

If they did that, sure, it'd be Batman, but not Bruce Wayne. Which is dumb. It'd maybe be like Batman Beyond or Dick Grayson Batman, but that's like miles down the road after Bruce had his hay-day with the League. You just put on the bat-pants kid, you don't get the right to go rub shoulders with Superman and Wonder-Woman.

It'd be like if Kyle Rayner was the first GL to join the league instead of Hal -OH CRAP THEY DID THAT IN THE 90s.

Days of Future Past

Holy crap, they either did this on accident or on purpose, either way, it's kinda genius and I feel like I'm the only one noticing:

"The Days of Future Past comic storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men’s failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps."

That part that I highlighted in yellow? THAT WAS THE EXACT PLOT OF THE FIRST XMEN MOVIE MADE IN 2000. Which means if they use this as a way of rebooting the series, then they wrote a backdoor into the storyline 12 years ago. And if they did that on purpose, they deserve a giant cake.

See, I realized like the day they announced they were doing Days of Future Past that this could be the best way to undo X3: The Last Stand and start doing more X-Men in the present day movies. In a Abrams Star Trek way. And they totally are gonna do it. 

Just please don't screw over Scott Summers this time. Please?

Have you seen him?

Professional detective work.
