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.

    • First exciting thing to come to Windows in a long time ! This is the kind of things they should focus on, instead of cramming as much AI as they can in everything.
    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
    • Samsung introduces new AI classroom tools and interactive displays at ISTELive 2026 by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced several new education-focused software features and interactive displays for schools during ISTELive 2026, taking place in Orlando, Florida, from 28 June to 1 July. The focus of these updates is on making shared classroom displays easier to use for teachers while giving IT administrators more control over managing devices. One of the key additions is the Samsung Account Management Solution (AMS). In many schools, multiple teachers share the same interactive display throughout the day, which means signing in and setting everything up can become repetitive. With AMS, teachers can log in by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC-enabled ID card. Once signed in, their personalised workspace, including wallpapers, bookmarks, app shortcuts, and files, can be instantly accessed through Home Personalisation. Samsung has also included a screen lock feature, allowing teachers to lock the display if they need to step away briefly. Furthermore, the company is also updating its Education Portal with new tools designed for school IT administrators. The portal will allow IT administrators to register teachers, enrol devices, and manage user access from a central dashboard. Administrators can also link NFC cards to teacher accounts, making sign-ins quicker across shared displays. Another addition is a Tags feature that lets schools organise displays by building or classroom. Those tags can also be used to send emergency notifications to selected Samsung Interactive Displays through compatible platforms such as InformaCast and Raptor. Moreover, the tech giant's AI Assistant is gaining several new features aimed at supporting everyday classroom tasks such as lesson planning and classroom engagement. One of the features is Circle to Search, which lets teachers circle text or images on the display to quickly find related information, videos, or web results without interrupting the lesson. The content can then be brought into Samsung Whiteboard. Another feature, Live Transcript, converts spoken lessons into real-time captions, which could be useful for students with hearing impairments or those in multilingual classrooms. The AI Assistant also introduces AI Summary and AI Quiz. The summary tool creates summaries of recorded lessons, while AI Quiz generates questions based on lesson content so teachers can quickly check how well students are following along. Teachers signed in through Samsung AMS can also return to their previous AI-generated lesson materials without logging in again. Alongside the software updates, Samsung has expanded its Android-based Interactive Display range with three new models: the WAF-S, WAFX-PS, and WAHX-M. The WAF-S and WAFX-PS ship with Android 16, bringing updates to security, accessibility, and overall usability while maintaining compatibility with Google's education services including Google Classroom and Google Drive through EDLA certification. Meanwhile, the new WAHX-M is the biggest addition to the lineup, introducing a 98-inch display for larger spaces such as lecture halls and conference rooms. It will also be available in 65-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch sizes. Samsung says the WAHX-M further includes on-device AI features such as voice commands, text-to-speech, and an AI calculator, alongside support for Samsung AMS and AI Assistant. Samsung AI Assistant has been available since April, while Samsung AMS and the updated Education Portal will begin rolling out in July.
    • It's been $24 (single) or $89 (4-pack) for many days on both Amazon and Walmart as far as I know. That isn't a big discount. If these end up like the 1st gen, the 4-pack will routinely get down around $80, give or take a dollar. I think they have even hit $69 at times.
