Where there really people thinking that he was going to be Robin? Or that there would be a Robin as old as him? :rofl:

I was just thinking about how incredibly crappy The Dark Knight Rises was, and they even introduced Robin in that film, and then to turn around and pretty much reboot the character again, I honestly have to say, I think I'm done with the entire franchise.

 

Ugh! Just thinking about how utterly bad Bane was as a character and that stupid, unintelligible voice. So. Incredibly. Bad. :x

No Robin, but I'm open to the idea of a Nightwing, it would match with the idea of an older Batman.

True that. But again, Damon doesn't even fit for that role.

I wasn't thinking about having Damon play the character, just that the character could be in the movie or a future movie.  I'd rather someone new or not well known play him anyways.

I think Matt Damon would make a pretty decent Green Lantern or Flash if they do the Justice League movie, but I can't think of any role for him in a Batman/Superman movie, unless he's a villain.  I do not think we will be seeing any Robins in this movie, but you never know.

Good :p Because Damon should stay as far away from these movies as possible :p

The only Lantern I could see him play is Guy Gardner other than that, I can't see him play anyone other superhero though,

No, I definitely wasn't thinking Hal Jordan lol.  And yeah, if they made him Guy then it would mess with continuity, but it's not like movie makers really care to do the comics justice 99% of the time.  It might be amusing to see him try though.  I could see him as Barry Allen, too. That might be a better fit.

Meh, I don't really see him pulling off Barry's humor though. If they'd chose to use Hal Jordan as Green Lantern than I hope they'll find a more fitting actor this time around. I'd personally like to see John Stewart as Green Lantern this time around though, but I'm sure that is wishful thinking as they'll probably opt for Hal.

Batman versus Superman? Two HEROES fighting each other? Anyone else see the problem here? I haven't read the script, but the premise sounds so stupid I'm not sure I want to read 121 pages of crap.

In the Frank Miller comics they have fought before. Batman ended up killing the joker and escaping from the police, but Superman chases after him to have justice served. After they get in to a fight, Batman then has a heart attack and is believed dead.

With that said though, it was a Batman comic and the focus was Batman. The idea of this being a Superman film and Batman being a secondary character possibly means a different story (I haven't seen anything about the film's plot) or maybe just a different perspective that allows us to focus more on Superman than Batman.

Ugh! Dumbest thing I've heard. Not only do these two characters not belong in the same universe, they definitely shouldn't be fighting each other. So many strikes against this film, I'm definitely leaning towards the never watching it column.

Guys, guys...relax.

 

Firstly, breathe.

 

Secondly, I rate Affleck as an actor.  No, I'm not over the moon at him playing Batman, but I AM willing to go on a little faith.

 

However, that being said, I want to see the plot first because any, and I do mean any, actual blows being struck between Superman/Batman would mean that I am 100% turned off.  

 

Let's look at the evidence...we're just seen Cavill's Kal-el destroy a frickin' town, and go through building after building.  The first time that happens with Batman, you have one dead mother f**ker.  If realism and adherence to individual lore is attempted, it would see Batman using his humanity to obtain rtesults where Superman cannot.  

 

They "can" work in the same universe, but it will take a VERY clever script.

 

Personally I'm not sure it will work because for it to work it has to be almost perfect.

Well there was more to the story than that, it was about Batman's fall from grace. I'd give a general summary, but you'd be better off just reading about it here. While I'm not a fan of Batman and Superman coming together in a comic, I have to say that when I read it I was quite pleased.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      "Not found" - this is what you get when you embed a tweet instead of just taking a screenshot.

      Wonder if they will let you go into an Apple Store and have your white glass back swapped for a silver one, will they refuse even if you pay?
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
