MOS 2: Bieber

The Net nearly imploded when singer Justin Bieber uploaded a photo on his Instagram
account showing him holding up what appeared to be a personalized script for Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel at Warner Bros

He captioned the photo with "#Robin".

That of course led to all kinds of reaction--I thought there's no way the studio would sanction such a move like that ever...  What was the truth was behind the photo? - a practical joke perhaps...

A source tells Hollywoodlife that it's the latter - "Justin Bieber will NOT be in the next Batman film, either as Robin or craft services."

It seems that Bieber shot something for Funny or Die and it's more than likely a prop used in that video.

MOS 2 will see the return of Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout--while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent.

Those reports that suggested that the chatter about "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming movie were true have now been denied by the actor.

There's also noise that the production is seeking is a love interest for the Dark Knight in the film. The Type? A woman in their late 20s of any ethnicity. They do, however, specify that she be tall and "possess physicality".

The notice DID NOT give a name for the character, which led to speculation that it could anyone from Vicki Vale to Wonder Woman.

A love interest for Bats suggests that he will have a larger part in the film than expected. It also could mean that other characters like Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth might show up as well.

"Man Of Steel" writer David S. Goyer will be back--as will Christopher Nolan to executive produce the film,

Sources say the new movie is going for the tone of the relationship and fight seen in Frank Miller’s 1980s ground-breaking mini-series The Dark Knight Returns.

The film will shoot in Detroit and throughout Michigan sometime in the first quarter of 2014. Warner Bros will also shoot the movie in Toronto to meet its release on July 17, 2015.
