We’ve gotten to the point now where all future casting news for The Dark Knight Rises look to concern small name stars signing on for Christopher Nolan’s final cinematic outing with Batman in unspecified supporting roles – at least, until we learn exactly what roles Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard are up for.
Case in point: Three more actors have signed on for Batman 3, which now includes Rescue Me star Daniel Sunjata, Burn Gorman of Torchwood fame, and Diego Klattenhoff (Mercy, Men in Trees).
Variety writer Jeff Sneider tweeted that all three of these gentlemen will help fill out the cast of Dark Knight Rises, which recently added Josh Pence in a significant role that has strong implications for what part Cotillard may be up for in the ...

‘Wonder Woman’ Has 3 Costumes, Says NBC President

There’s been quite a bit of talk over the costumes sported by Wonder Woman actress Adrianne Palicki and her stunt double in leaked shots. As it turns out, we may have only seen two thirds of her superpowered wardrobe.
NBC entertainment president Robert Greenblatt spoke on Dianna Prince’s various costumes yesterday. Apparently the modified costume with the red boots and reduced-glare pants is only one of three outfits viewers will see when the series debuts. The first was leaked last month to much skepticism, and the third has yet to be revealed.
Three costumes intended for Wonder Woman‘s maiden season sounds odd, especially considering the stylistic similarity of the two seen thus far. But producers might be going for both and updated and a classic look – and considering the negative reactions thus far, ...

When the first reveal came of the "Green Lantern" costume via an EW cover, the reaction was hardly enthusiastic. The subsequent first trailer did little to improve that reaction.
Of course the buzz around the film itself has undergone a turnaround after the successful WonderCon footage was screened for press and posted online. Now, Warners has released full body shots of Ryan Reynolds in character in the CG outfit and the result is a lot better looking than that initial impression.
The darkening of the thighs and biceps to an almost black color like the comic is a better look (and I like the ribbed texture). Not sure what's going on with the Incredible Hulk feet (a podiatrist's nightmare), the CG VPL has unfortunately rendered him a eunuch for mass consumption, still not sure on the mask. Overall though, not bad. Check them out for yourself below:
