He looks glorious in that slightly brighter suit. Also gotta love his new haircut. But the biggest takeaway from this picture is the background. Looks a hell of a lot like Gotham to me. Behind him you can see smoke stacks mixed with dark landscapes that all just reek of sadness. Must be in Gotham. Hope to see a big chunk of the movie set in that shithole of a city.

Latino Review's El Mayimbe has an exclusive about 3 villains, who will supposedly appear in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. There could be some potential spoilers so you will have to hit the read more to check it out!

'Batman V Superman' Casts Scoot McNairy

Deadline is reporting that Scoot McNairy (Argo) has been cast in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice in a top secret role. Just like B V S screenwriter Chris Terrio, McNairy has strong ties to Batman actor Ben Affleck. The more Affleck approved people on this movie the better. Bringing in Terrio to rewrite David "Shithead" Goyer was huge win for this film. So put another check in the plus column because McNairy is a very good supporting actor and will be great in whatever screen time he is given. 

So who is McNairy playing? Latino Review's El Mayimbe suspects Richard "Dick" Grayson/Nightwing, but I believe that is a stretch. Scoot is 36 years old and if Dick was to be in this film I would believe he would be played a guy in his 20's. A second insider opinion comes from The Wrap whose sources say McNairy will suit up as the Flash in the movie. I find this rumor much more likely. He has the body type and could handle himself in the role of Barry Allen. My own personal guess though would be that he is playing another villain alongside Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. I have said from Day 1 that there is no way Lex Luthor is the only villain in this film. There has to be enough villain firepower in this movie for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman to all fight alongside one another. So I think Scoot could be playing either Metallo or Brainiac to help add more fuel to Lex's villainous fire. Or maybe he is playing a villain with connections to Wonder Woman and that is why she is making her presence known. Whatever the case I believe McNairy will be a baddie in this flick. Who do you want Scoot to play? Sound off in the comments.

Fan Cast: Daniel Craig as Metallo

Why?: For this week's fan cast I chose Daniel Craig for the role of Superman's cyborg enemy Metallo. Craig is most prominently known for his portrayal of super spy James Bond, but he also has less publicly known experience with villainous roles. He played a ruthless drug kingpin in Layer Cake and the violent son of Paul Newman's character in Road to Perdition. For both characters Craig provided a cold blooded and intimating presence. Combine those villainous turns with his action history from James Bond and you have a perfect candidate to play the Kryptonite hearted menace. Craig's Metallo could be the muscle for Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor in Batman vs. Superman or the villain of Man of Steel 3. Either way if you get Daniel in that metal suit he is gonna kick some serious Kryptonian ass.
