DATELINE: Red Bank, New Jersey – On his podcast FATMAN ON THE BATMAN, Film Director/Writer/Actor Kevin Smith says the Batman outfit in the upcoming SUPERMAN VS. BATMAN film, is going to blow people away. Smith who is a good friend of Ben Affleck says the Batsuit is amazing: “I’m already a flag waver for this movie but the costume, it blew my mind. I think everyone is just gonna be like ‘Holy S***!’ According to sources, Smith’s favorite aspect of the suit is the titanium-reinforced middle fingers Affleck will be able to use to address his critics
DEADLINE: In a Red Envelope– The director of “Cabin in the Woods”, DREW GODDARD will be writing the upcoming DAREDEVIL series for Marvel Studios and NETFLIX. The Daredevil series will tie in with planned LUKE CAGE, JESSICA JONES, IRON FIST, and DEFENDERS mini-series on the service.
