Catch the Superman/Batman banner in I Am Legend? Well, if you haven't, you might want to check out this report first. To sum it up, the opening 'hunt' sequence at the beginning of I Am Legend gives one awesome glimpse of a banner hanging on the side of a building. The banner shows the Batman and Superman logo, with a release date set for May, 2010. The film takes place in the future, so they easily pull it off.
Now it's time to decipher what it means. While Warner Bros. blew me off today by serving up absolutely no information -- thanks for that -- it turns out that there was a warning of this banner before the film's release.
More on the Batman Superman Banner
'Steve' has alerted us to an earlier interview with Akiva Goldman over at MTV Movies Blog.
In a tongue-in-cheek nod to his failed attempt at a "Batman vs Superman" movie pitch, Akiva Goldman has thrown in a movie poster billboard for a Superman/Batman film in the Will Smith movie "I Am Legend".
"That was Akiva's department; Akiva became the cheerleader for every movie poster and [inside] thing you'll see in this movie," grinned director Francis Lawrence, who previously directed the Keanu Reeves flick "Constantine." "So, because we're in a video store, you'd see movie posters around, and when we're in Times Square so you'd see movie posters around."
Unfortunately, fans interpreting the billboard as a sign that Supes and the Dark Knight will soon square off are setting themselves up for disappointment. "No, no, no," laughed Lawrence, when asked if the billboard was his way of announcing his next project. "That's not me."
So there you have it. Wish we had a little heads up on that, as I did get my hopes up a bit.
