DC Movies: $5m fine for Batman extra who leaked female Robin -like ****!
I lied.
I just can't help it.
I'm guessing this is all just blow hard publicity since various sources -including journalists- saw the actress with Snyder and on the film set so the idea that an extra is going to shoulder all the blame is pretty dumb-ass and what extra earns $5 million?
If anything, any such extra deserves $5 million from the studio for revitalising what was in all honesty a corpse of a movie publicity or news wise. Gadot is Wonder Woman. Affleck is Batman. Cavell is Superman. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
NOW fans are talking and raking up the excitement that DC seems to find impossible to do by themselves. Marvel never have this problem with their movies. Give the extra a pay-rise!
Holy smokes! Possible $5m fine for Batman extra who leaked female Robin

Ben Affleck’s Batman will be teaming up with a female Robin for
his debut as the caped crusader in Warner Bros’ Batman v Superman: Dawn
of Justice, according to an anonymous extra on the forthcoming
superhero epic.
Jena Malone, who recently made an appearance in
the Hunger Games fantasy saga as the tempestuous Johanna Mason, is
reputedly in line to play Carrie Kelley. The character was introduced in
Frank Miller’s seminal 1986 graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, and
has been called the first full-time female version of Batman’s
best-known sidekick in the DC Comics title.
The news broke through the WILX-10 News station in Michigan, where Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
has been filming at the Michigan State University. The extra told
reporter Kirk Montgomery: “I’ve also learned that the character of Robin
is now female.” Meanwhile, Malone has been spotted on set and at recent
film premieres sporting Kelley’s trademark red crop.
Studio Warner Bros
has not yet made any public comment on the rumour. However, several US
sites are reporting that the extra in question now faces a possible $5m
fine for breaking a non-disclosure agreement. Batman v Superman, the
followup to Zack Snyder’s 2013 superhero epic Man of Steel, will feature
Affleck taking on Henry Cavill’s Superman. The film already looks set
to be a crowded affair, with a debut for Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and
potential bows for Jason Momoa’s Aquaman and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg.
Snyder is said to be riffing heavily on The Dark Knight Returns,
which sees an older, jaded Batman coming into conflict with Superman
after the latter is called in to take down an increasingly
out-of-control dark knight. Kelley is a 13-year-old schoolgirl in the
comics, somewhat younger than the 29-year-old Malone.
While the introduction of a new movie Robin would usually prove
controversial with fans, the cache of Miller’s classic graphic novel
could yet make the character’s big screen debut a popular move. Dawn of
Justice is due in cinemas for March 2016.
