Why not simply report official news?
BOF reports rumors because we want Batman fans to have a chance to respond to them. With the advent of the internet, movie rumors stem from a variety of sources; such as: agents, actors, and even studios themselves. Sometimes they are floated to get some free publicity. On occasion, studios leak info to gauge public response. By reporting this type of stuff, fans indirectly have a say in the production of a film. At BATMAN ON FILM we want it to be Batman fans with the BATMAN movies.
