Man of Steel sequel to feature Batman (and others) (2016)


Recommended Posts

See Avengers...... all your favorite superhero movies in the same movie...

I did see Avengers. It was alright I guess, but forgettable. I just have never really cared for superhero mashups, it's like it's just done for the sake of it. I am holding my breath that Snyder will make it work.

 

 

 

 

Also a storyboard frame has leaked:

A bit fuzzy, but this is the logo from the announcement outside of a video, and there are rumors that somewhere in the MoS arc we'll see Kara Zor-El - Supergirl.

Rationale: her appearance in the prequel comic and the empty pod in the Fortress in MoS.

Seen that logo yesterday. It's pretty cool how Batman's symbol kind of looks like the one Batman used on his suit in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns". It would be pretty cool to see Kara in the MoS movie series.

It's on the front page :p I am sure they will officially release it soon in all its HQ glory :yes:

Either that or it's based off the one from the Adama West series.

Wow, you must be really against this whole idea :p Because there's no way that they'd go that route. There wasn't any Superman in Adam West's series anyways.

No doubt it'll be good, just more evidence to the fact that Superman cant carry itself

 

Huh? Man of Steel, like it or not is gonna make over $700 Million worldwide. How is it Superman can't carry his own film?

The Dark Knight Returns logo has near vertical sides - very squareish. This logos upper 75% looks very much like the 1942 movie serial logo but with fewer points along the lower edge and no rib detail. Looks like they did a mashup of previous logos.

I love seeing stuff like that. You could hear the people who knew where the line was from, and then the logo popped up (then batman's logo after) and the crowd literally sounded like they would cause a phase shift in the space time continuum that would wipe out every universe ever created by comics. Yeah.

Amazing news. For some reason, I thought they announced another movie after Man of Steel 2 that would feature Batman. It didn't occur to me that they were talking about Man of Steel 2 as the movie to feature him. It'll be interesting because they may introduce Lex Luthor too. Someone on Reddit mentioned a bidding war between Wayne Enterprises and LutherCorp over the Daily Planet building.

I don't see Bale coming back...unless he plans on doing a JLA film, but I'd count him out.

It's pure speculation, and a bit of fan fiction, but my guess will be that LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises pool their resources together to come up with ways to handle the alien in case he steps out of line. Or they could compete for the same defense contract. I mean, we'll find out what happens when they release the film, but that's my guess. 

If they use elements from the dark knight returns in MoS2 then Bale coming back as batman would be the best way to do it instead of introducing someone new.  But who knows, I watched that video posted above and go pumped up as well.   I think Superman can do his own film fine, it's just that there's only so many bad guys that can translate to a good movie, Zod is kinda one of them but honestly I think the best ones to use for a MoS movie would be doomsday and Darkseid.    Now I think the best one for a JL movie would be Darkseid because he has an army to use.   I'd do doomsday for a MoS3 if I was in charge, would be a good way to end it if it's also going to be a trilogy.

Oh dear....

 

If you're excited by this you have no imagination...kinda like the person who came up with this idea.

 

Coming in 2015 the brand new series. "How I Big Banged Your Mother" with Sheldon Cooper and Lily Aldrin (non pornographic version)

Imagination has nothing to do with it, the MoS2 movie will have it's own thing, they just used the best, well known, line from the dark knight returns comic to let fans know that, yes, batman is coming back to the big screen.  Putting him in MoS2 is the best way to lead up to a future Justice League movie.   It's always Superman and Batman that come together first, then the other heroes join in.   And honestly, I don't think making a Flash or Wonder Woman movie before a JL movie will have the returns WB would like to see.   

 

IMO it'd be better to do a JL movie and then after you've introduced flash and WW you can think about doing their own movies, unless WB wants another GL on it's hands.  It's just one or two heroes the fans like more than the rest, for Marvel, aside from spiderman, they like Iron Man the best.  If there was no Iron Man in Avengers it NEVER would've made as much money as it did.  RDJs Iron Man made that film, also why he's role is so important in it.   Hulk? meh.  Thor?  meh.   Captain America?  meh.  

 

For DC it's the same thing, the fans like Batman the most, WB knows this and just having him in MoS2 means you'll make even more money, not that MoS flopped or anything, money wise.

^You're already proving how unimaginative you yourself are with that joke. The joke is kinda straightforward, anyone could've come up with that. Better luck next time though!

I meant the one on his suit though which looks kinda different :p

I can't believe everyone wants to see Bale back as Batman. Have you guys forgotten what happened at the end of "The Dark Knight Rises"? If they'd bring Bale back now, they'd ruin that ending for sure. Of course he wad dead in the comics for awhile and came back, but the ending of "The Dark Knight Rises" is different to be honest. It would ruin the idea Nolan had behind Batman's cowl. That it's just a mask, a symbol that everyone could wear.

For me, the Nolan Batman universe ended with "The Dark Knight Rises" and they're setting up a new film universe for the Justice League. They'll introduce a new actor to play Batman in "Man of Steel 2" and have that same actor play Batman in the upcoming reboot.

Errr this was announced years ago?

 

Has no one seen "I am Legend" in a scene Will smith walks past a building which displays a possible Batman/superman cross over film. At the time I assumed this to be fictional, but with this news I can see I was wrong.

 

Christan Bale and Henry Cavil have to be the heroes.  ....... if its someone else ...

SDCC: HIGH-QUALITY LOGO FOR WARNER BROS.' "SUPERMAN/BATMAN" SURFACES ONLINE

Comic-Con International attendees felt Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's hands at their collective throat on Saturday, when it was announced that "Man of Steel" was officially green-lit for a sequel -- a sequel co-starring Gotham's Caped Crusader.

The Batman is joining forces with Superman in the untitled "Man of Steel" follow-up, directed by Zack Snyder with a story co-written by Snyder and David Goyer. Along with the movie announcement, an official logo was released at Comic-Con, and what appears to be a hi-res version of that very same art has surfaced online via the website Nerd Reactor.

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
