Well, Rogen is working on the adaptation of Preacher for TV, and that comic is from a Vertigo imprint owned by DC. So, presumably, he does have some contact with the folks at WB and DC. However, Preacher is not part of DC's superhero properties, so any policy that applies to those movies probably wouldn't apply to it. It's also being adapted for TV, and Arrow and The Flash have clearly shown that a different policy is in place for TV adaptations of DC properties.
So Rogen might be making assumptions based on his experiences, without really knowing if the people he's working for have much say in how the DC superhero movies are carried out.

Remember too that DC compartmentalizes all of their divisions: TV, Movies, Comics are all not only separate, but almost competitive and antagonistic with each other.
Basically how the TV division runs has no bearing or even info on how movies are run. DC is weird.

And it may be Rogen doesn't fully understand that, and thinks that because he's working on a DC project the policies he has to deal with are the same ones which apply to the movies.
I don't think TV is antagonistic towards animation. In fact, I think the TV people really like the animation people. Comics people suck though.
Also, the comics people are becoming more influential. Geoff Johns is pretty involved in the straight to DVD movies, he was also a producer on the Green Lantern movie.

He is a producer on a DC project though, I'm more inclined to believe his insider speculation than I can some writers unconfirmed rumour. Or that he's just too dense to know that TV =/= movies.
So Scott Mcnairy role may have been revealed...and wow.
"Scoot is playing Jimmy Olsen, but with a bit of a twist. Jimmy was injured during the battle of Zod vs Superman. His legs where pinned under falling building rubble and that caused him to lose the legs. He now walks with the use of two prosthetic legs." The source goes on to add "He doesn't blame Superman for it [his loss of legs]. He feels grateful that Superman saved the world."

I think that's a really intersting idea that directly addresses one of the issues people had in MoS, the whole collateral damage thing.
But wasn't there already a gender swapped Jenny Olsen in MoS?
Allow me to elaborate on my warhammer 40,000 analogy.
In WH40K, The imperium of man routinely engages in wholesale slaughter. Sometimes it's just by having a big battle with some orcs. Sometimes it's sending millions of guardsmen to their deaths in order to defend this one world without realizing it was over run centuries ago by the tyrannids and they're going to just be food for the bugs.
And sometimes, it's the inquisition bombing the shit out of a city or blowing up a planet because they think theirs a demon or a cult or they're hiding a psychic or they misplaced their TPS reports.
The common folk (instead of being horrified and trying to establish a government that can actually function) are just grateful about how horribly abused they are.
I'm seeing a lot of that here, along with stiff arming peoples legitimate complaints about the original movie.
They're taking the optimistic "city half not destroyed" attitude.
Maybe that's how Superman will bring hope to the world. He's going to make everything so crappy that people will have to cling on to some shred of hope just to survive.

To be fair, the "No Jokes" is assumed to be an edict by a blogger because he heard that phrase a couple of times - but we don't know in what context that phrase came up. We don't know if it refers to one character (for example, differentiating DoJ Batman from 60s and 90s Batman), to key scenes, to just one movie, to the DoJ Franchise, to ALL DC Movies, or what. It may be as specific as "no wisecracking assholes" and still leave room for Hulk Smashing Loki visuals.
It is probably safe to say that they're not aiming for a tone as lighthearted as, say, GotG - but Cap2 had a bunch of chuckles despite being probably the most serious of the MCU so far.

Rogen being involved in Preacher in any capacity is worrying. Remember what he did to Green Hornet?
I posted this in the SE thread, but the difference between Marvel and DC is that Marvel gets that people use humor as a coping mechanism; they play it up in their stories and it winds up being funny and humanizing. Thus they can deal with grim subject matter while remaining relatively light.
Meanwhile DC seems to want its stories to all be The Dark Knight; they can still be good or uplifting stories, but they always have to be emotionally exhausting. The problem with that approach is that when it doesn't work it really doesn't work and you get Man of Steel, a film where you ultimately don't really find anything worth caring about.
Even in Green Lantern, which I didn't think was as bad as others thought (it was just really mediocre) there wasn't that much humor, or coping humor. Reynolds uses humor in that more cynical way. Oh this stupid lantern thingie, I'm totes cooler than this even though I'll make a hot wheel ramp for a car.
That was bad humor that wasn't funny. Reynolds failed at being RDJ Stark, which is weird since he was funny in Blade: Trinity.
hal jordan jokes to cover the fact that he's afraid
that's like, practically the central conceit of the character and the reason reynolds was actually a pretty good casting
I thought Hal Jordan was never afraid. Like, crazy person never afraid, which is why he could be a green lantern. It's an entrance requirement. You aren't the guy who looks at danger and goes "Fuck. I would rather be doing literally anything else, but the job's in front of me, and the blood should hide the urine stains." but the guy who goes "I fucking rule. Hey everyone! Watch me be kickass and awesome! I HAVE NO SENSE OF MY OWN MORTALITY!"
Which is why Guy Gardner's so great. He's completely fearless, honest, strong willed and (partially due to the aforementioned qualities) a gigantic asshole who pisses off almost everyone around him.

(Famous line from all versions of Green Lantern) "You have the ability to overcome great fear." Green Lanterns feel fear, they're able to suppress and handle it though. They don't crumple under pressure is the idea. They don't have defective brains that cannot process a fear response.

This is bordering on Warhammer 40k levels of ridiculous.
Superman to be portrayed as a radical Inquisitor, Batman is a puritanical Inquisitor leading to a confrontation. Wonder Woman is an Ecclesiarchy agent attempting to root out a suspected Chaos cult before the Inquisition just levels everything. Lex Luthor is the simple businessman caught in the crossfire who gets mixed up with a Chaos cult after having everything he knows leveled during the mid movie Exterminatus.
Jimmy Olson is Superman's servitor.

There's a new official photo of the Batmobile from BvS:DoJ:
It has a giant machine gun turret on the front because of course it does.
Oh come on, we don't have to pick apart everything. The animated version of the batwing had missiles and pretty much every version of Batman carries explosives.
The Batmobile is hard to really make out in those picks, so I don't have a really good sense of its shape, but I don't have any beef with it. Looks fine.
I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.

"Rubber bullets."
"Honest."
I offer three to one odds that line (or a tribute) is in the movie.
It'll also probably have some ridiculous aiming algorithm so that it can rattle off a few rounds near-point blank and not hit anyone, just to scare people. Or just use blanks.
That said, this IS supposed to Old Man Batman (via Frank Miller), so using a machine gun to solve 'big' problems isn't exactly out of character.
