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


Recommended Posts

So the movie has been canceled?   Good deal!!

 

Yeah this was from way back when, the day someone pitched it

 

Today isn't the day our wishes get answered sadly :(

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.

:blink:

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
