Superman: Man of Steel (2013)

What the hell is that suit about, Rappy :|

From Tim Burton's un-filmed "Superman Lives" project. Script by Kevin Smith and Nicolas Cage as Superman.

It would have followed the events after his death at the hands of Doomsday, and the metallic costumes are related to the "Man of Tomorrow" and "Man of Steel" from that story arc.

As for the new movies costume, it's sort of in synch with the current comics "shorts-less" Superman costume-

Like I keep saying... if by "serious" they mean included the general

public's "OMFG!" moment when they realize aliens are real.

It always bugged me that Superman admitted being from an alien

world and everyone just kinda went, "Nice, our savior is here!" and

left it at that.

For what it's worth, IMDB says his character name is Henry Ackerdson, which is a pretty good match for the Metallo alter ego Henry Ackerson in Justice League Doom. That's probably nothing on about five different levels, so definitely take that with a gargantuan grain of salt, but it might be worth keeping in the way back of one's mind.

Handcuffs, hah. That's probably shortly after he first shows up as Superman and everyone freaks out etc. So he plays it cool to show that he's not a danger and here to help.

Also it's no real surprise that after serious Batman we get a more serious Superman. Hell, now it's the new hollywood "in" thing, make serious and dark superhero movies. New spiderman, went that way, the new iron man movie is all dark and serious etc. We should just come to expect it now going forward, or for at least the next 5-10 years anyways.

It makes them much better to be honest. The previous batman and superman movies were pretty much all garbage.

The new Spiderman wasn't particularly dark, though. It was still good.

I think the new spiderman tried to be, they went for that type of tone with it's trailers at least IMO.

Thing is a lot of the comics were either both extremely dark and extremely camp.

The 80's had a sugar coated tinge about it that made everything all happy clappy with the exception of Iron man and Judge Dredd i grew up thinking they were all aimed at children. How pleasantly wrong i was :p

I think that's a good point. The Batman and Superman comics are, for the most part, quite dark. The most successful story arcs are always the ones that are grittier. The spiderman comics aren't so much.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
