RUMOR: Justice League movie goes radio silent – big stuff on the way?

A couple of weeks ago we learned that the script for the upcoming Justice League movie had been totally trashed and needed to be rewritten from the ground up.  With early press on the Man of Steel looking super positive, the latest rumor out of H’wood totally changes what Warner Bros. could be bringing to the table in 2015.

Major Spoilers Hero Award: Christian Bale

We’ve intentionally not talked about the theater shootings in Aurora, Colorado for a number of reason, but mainly because there has been nothing positive to come from the “news” and speculation/pundits outlets to provide anything of real meaning.  However, when someone does something positive, not for their own image, but to make those suffering feel better, it does deserve some attention.

That’s why we are giving Christian Bale the Major Spoilers Hero Award.  Mr. Bale took it upon himself to visit the hospital where survivors of the shooting are recovering.  According to reports, the actor spent time with each of the patients, and also spent time with those that were the first responders to the crime scene.  According to Warner Bros., “Mr. Bale is there as himself, not representing Warner Brothers.”

Regardless of what you think of the actor or the movie, it is Christian Bale’s actions that speak volumes.  This is yet another example of someone who didn’t have to do anything, but did it for the right reason.

RUMOR: Bane origin revealed?

One of the biggest questions surrounding The Dark Knight Rises is how will Bane tie into the overall story?  A number of rumors have been spilling out of the bowels of the Intardwebz, and the latest has Bane emerging from a Venom filled Lazarus Pit.

The Plot leak you’ve been waiting for: Eyewitnesses and crew members told us of a particular scene being filmed, where a bald-headed child wearing ragged clothes emerges from the well and pulls his hood over his head. From the conversations, we reckon this is a young Bane, emerging from a vat of Venom, trained by Pence’s Ra’s al Ghul. The years of addiction to Venom builds him to be a massive monster with amped up senses, intelligence and physical prowess.

Keep in mind this is just a rumor, but since the Lazarus Pit is bound to come up in the Christopher Nolan trilogy, this might be the logical way to connect Bane with Ra’s.
