There was great excitement when DC Comics and Warner Bros. announced that Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones) would be directing the first official live action Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is to be DC's first female led film and is a very important film in the DC Universe. Unfortunately, however, they will have to find a new director for the film. MacLaren has left the film, according to a statement from the studio.

'Suicide Squad' To Begin Production in Toronto
The film that will follow Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in the newly created DC Cinematic Universe is not a Batman solo film, not a Wonder Woman solo film, its not even an Aquaman solo film. No, the first film we'll get after the fallout of Batman v Superman is David Ayer's Suicide Squad. Some may balk at the confidence in such a move when building such a large cinematic universe, but not me. I'm excited to see Task Force X on the big screen and I think it'll do very well if treated in the right way. I love Harley Quinn, and her merry band of villains doing Amanda Waller's dirty work under threat of imminent death.
'Suicide Squad' Has Found It's Harley!
Recently, Warner Bros and DC announced that a Suicide Squad film was in the works and that director David Ayer would be at the helm. We've heard that we might see Jesse Eisenberg reprise his role of Lex Luthor from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. There's been a few names making the rounds on the internet about who the studio is eyeing for various Squad member roles in the films. Names like Tom Hardy, Will Smith, and recently Jared Leto in the role of The Joker. Now, Collider is reporting that Harley Quinn has been cast. Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, Tarzan) is the name they mention as the actress that would be taking on the role of Joker's right hand and fan favorite Bat-villain.

Many, many thanks to @FlashCWFans for sending us some photos from the Batman v Superman filming on location in Detroit, Michigan. Most of the pictures depict various Metropolis emergency vehicles, and mass destruction. You can also see Zack Snyder walking around as well.
First Look at Wonder Woman!
Well...DC/Warner Bros started off Day 3 of SDCC with a bang. They brought out Zack Snyder and he debuted a teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, showing a rainy Gotham rooftop and Batman standing atop wearing a very Frank Miller-y armor suit. He pulls a tarp off of a Bat Signal that illuminates in the sky revealing a very angry Superman with red eyes. We also got a great glimpse at Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and I have to say...my doubts have receded a bit. Take a look.

More 'Batman v Superman' Rumors
This is all unconfirmed and should be taken strictly as rumor as of right now, but JoBlo.com is reporting some interesting (SPOILERY) details about Wonder Woman's costume and some aspects of Batman/Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor's characters for the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice mega movie.
'The Batman' Solo Film in 2019?
Since he was cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne for what was originally thought of as the sequel to Man of Steel (but has since become a stand alone film titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.) we've been curious as to when Ben Affleck would get his solo film as the Dark Knight. Rumor has it (latino-review.com) that we'll be seeing him return (after a stint in 'Justice League' in May of 2017) to the cape and cowl in 2019 to begin the new franchise of Bat films.
