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.

This week we're going to look at a classic 'machiner doing an interpretation of one of another classic 'machiner's characters. So, for your viewing pleasure here is AMS's take on Atomic Punk's eponymous signature character.
Now, this has got everything you'd expect from an AMS creation. 3/4 position pose (with clothes masked to fit), awesome shading, custom items (see right foot for details), cool face.
However, what really makes this one stand out for me is the way the costume is put together. The colour scheme is a good place to start here. Three colours, the usual and best number for a costume of this sort, with two colours (the yellow and black) being the dominant, whilst the third (white) is used sparingly, to give a distinction between large areas of the two dominant colours. The jacket sleeves are a good example of this, the white giving a border between the mainly yellow jacket and the black gloves.
We also see some very nice design features that really sell the costume design, the biggest and most obvious of which is the checkered leg with the belted knee (which might be my favourite part of the design). But we also have the neckwear jumper neck along the bottom of the jacket, the chain and the stripes on the jacket which all work together to really sell the design. I also like the fact that the zip on the jacket is also checkered, it gives a nice bit of continuity from the jacket to the trousers. It may be subtle but it just adds that little bit extra.
