Exclusive: Batman/Superman To Feature Mercy Graves: Lex  Luthor's Amazonian Bodyguard

Cosmic Book News has been tipped off from the same source that gave us the Bryan  Cranson cast as Lex Luthor news that the new Batman/Superman movie set to star  Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill will feature the DC Comics  character Mercy Graves.

We have no other information in  regards to how the character will be used in the movie, but Mercy Graves first  appeared in Superman: The Animated  Series back in 1996, created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, as the bodyguard and chauffeur of Lex Luthor.

Mercy Graves' first comic book appearance was in Detective Comics #735,  in the Batman storyline "No Man's Land," where another female bodyguard for Lex Luthor was also  introduced by the name of Hope.

The storyline revealed the duo went toe-to-toe with Superman, with it coming  out in later issues of Justice League: Cry For Justice that Mercy  Graves is a member of the Amazons,  the all-female warrior nation that Wonder Woman belongs to.

We can speculate that David Goyer and Zack Snyder will continue with their theme of using strong female roles in the  DC movies much the same they did with the Faora, played by Antje Traue,  considered a breakout performance by many in Man of Steel.

Obviously the potential use of Amazons in the Batman/Superman movies begs the  questions whether or not Wonder Woman will make an appearance or cameo. David  Goyer recently stated he  would like to do a Wonder Woman film.

The character Mercy was also featured in episodes of Smallville as Lex Luthor's "#2," which was more an amalgam of many different DC comic  book characters with Tess Mercer.

The sequel to "Man of Steel" goes  into production next year for a July 17, 2015 release also starring Amy  Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

LOS ANGELES -- Ben Affleck will don Batman's cape and cowl.

Warner Bros. announced Thursday that the 41-year-old actor-director will star as a new incarnation of the Dark Knight in a film bringing Batman and Superman together.

The studio said Affleck will star opposite 30-year-old Henry Cavill, who will reprise his role as Superman from "Man of Steel." The movie will also feature "Man of Steel" stars Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Diane Lane as Martha Kent.

The big-screen DC Comics superhero mash-up was first revealed by director Zack Snyder at last month's Comic-Con International in San Diego.

Snyder, who will direct the sequel written by "Man of Steel" screenwriter David S. Goyer, said in a statement that Affleck will provide an "interesting counter-balance" to Cavill's Clark Kent.

"(Affleck) has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne," said Snyder. "I can't wait to work with him."

Production on the as-yet-untitled film is expected to begin in 2014 for release July 17, 2015.

It won't be Affleck's first time in superhero garb. He played a blind Marvel crime fighter in 2003's "Daredevil" and portrayed 1950s Superman actor George Reeves in 2006's "Hollywoodland."

Affleck's "Argo," which he starred in and directed, won the Academy Award for best picture earlier this year.

Christian Bale most recently played Batman in director Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy.

Matt Damon, 42, talked to OTRC.com about the movie, which hits theaters on Aug. 9 and was directed by Neill Blomkamp, who helmed the 2009 hit "District 9."

"Neil gave [the costume designers] a few marching orders, which were, I had to have full mobility and it had to be as light as possible and those guys did literally revision after revision after revision of that suit and by the time it came to me, I could move in any direction at all and it was only 25 pounds, kind of distributed over my whole body so that was ... it was so much easier than I thought it was going to be, actually."
