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


Recommended Posts

I've often wondered... Well clearly Bruce smears dark eye make-up so his eyes through the cowl look dark. Why doesn't he do his jaw/chin?

Why not? If he'd smeared make-up on his jaw/chin then he might as well use a mask like the one Terry McGinnis uses. Plus, in the comics the cowl has lenses and it isn't just a cowl, there's a whole system of gadgets in it.

He doesn't really have the looks for Nightwing to be honest :/

The Cowl has tech in it, that's why we get "detective mode" in the batman games.  Well, that's one way to explain it really.   They should use some type of lens in the next movie that reflects light or that they can use in post production to make it look like it does.  So when he's fully in the shadows all you can see is the eyes, like in the comics.

OH, Doomsday!   Well that's interested, I said in a post months ago that having Doomsday in the 2nd movie and have it lead into a JL movie with Darkseid as the bad guy after would be the best thing to do.  This was back before the news that Batman would be in the 2nd movie though.

That's what I want to see in this film as well, a cowl that's more like the comic books and that actually hides his eyes but with a white lens in front of them. It's not only in games that he has that "detective move" in his cowl. It's basically part of the cowl and it has a lot more lenses than just that one. Plus, he has the lenses to prevent eye identification. Also, there's a communication system in there (in his left ear) to stay in contact with his allies and to scan the police radio with. There's a layer of lead in there so that people with metahuman abilities can't see his identity. Not that this was the case in the Justice League series.

We saw parts of that system in "The Dark Knight" btw. Though he was just at the beginning of his career at that point so the cowl wasn't as advanced yet.

So let me ask here cause I didn't really read all the comics and I'm not about to start, but do they kinda fight each other as good guys to see who's going to get the bad guy first cause anything other will or may ruin it for me as they are both just good guys.

There have been a few first meeting stories where Sups hears about a vigilante the cops are looking for and investigates, finding Bats. The first interactions are, well, intense before they join forces.

There is also The Dark Knight Returns where Sups is basically playing nice with the govt. and Bats is a fugitive after being framed for murder. Bats & Sups have a battle royal with Sups in a weakened state after a nuclear explosion.

I'm betting on the former but hoping for something akin to the latter.

Kevin Smith Has Seen the Batman Suit From Batman vs. Superman

 

"I saw the Batman costume. More than that I saw a picture of him (Affleck) in the costume. Now, I don't want to give anything away 'cause that is up to them and stuff, but I am going to say this, I instantly bear hugged him (Snyder). You have not seen this costume in a movie on film before, and for a comic book fan it was mind bending. I was like 'Get out of here, only you have enough power to pull this off.' Because everyone always like does this Matrix/X-men black armor...It was fantastic. I'm already a flag waver for this movie, but the costume, it blew my mind. I think everyone is just gonna be like 'Holy ****!' It's its own thing, man. It's like we haven't been down this path at all. I was so elated....Even the hardest core ?**** all this? person will be like 'alright, I'm ready.'"

This weekend, Warner Bros. held their Man of Steel online fan event to promote the upcoming Blu-ray release of the film, and while director Zack Snyder shared a few details on the highly-anticipated sequel, it was what came later that was truly exciting. On another episode of his Hollywood Babble-On podcast (via CBM), director Kevin Smith revealed that Zack Snyder showed him a picture of the Batman costume for the follow-up film, Batman vs. Superman.

Smith also mentioned the costume has a certain influence on its style, but redacted that portion of his praise. Will it be based on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns? Something else? What do you think the costume will look like? Sound off below!

So it's not all black like the others and ..... grey?   :P

 

Having been playing the newest batman arkham game this past week, the more greyish suit in these games look good to me.  I also like the one the game uses, with the beefy gloves and boots  and so on. 

Those words mean a lot coming from Kevin Smith. As I understand it, he's a huge fan of Batman and wrote some comic books about that character (like Batman: Cacophony). Hell, he even named his daughter Harley Quinn after the comic book character. I'm really starting to get hyped up for this movie. I enjoyed watching Man of Steel and I have a strong feeling I'll enjoy the sequel even more.

Can't wait to see the suit! Also, they're better off not putting Nightwing into the movie at all seeing all the casting rumors. None of them have the looks for a Nightwing at all.

Not only is he a big fan but so is Ben to begin with.

UPDATE: A fan who attended the podcast claims the word bleeped out when Kevin says who Batsuit it resembles- Jim Lee.

Source: The new Batsuit will be like nothing we?ve seen before (UPDATE!)

I believe this means we'll get to see a more streamlined kevlar suit without the armor that we've seen in the Dark Knight trilogy! (Hopefully without the undies as well :p). Well, as posted before it was already stated there wouldn't be any armor. Jim Lee's Batman always looked pretty awesome, specially in Hush. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what they've made.

Yeah at this point I don't care about Nightwing

Lost actor Terry O'Quinn is the latest name dropped as a possible candidate for the role of Lex Luthor in Batman vs Superman. At least that's the latest from the Superman Super Site and Man of Steel Fan Page. It's reported that O'Quinn is one of several actors on Zack Snyder's shortlist so there's no guarantee he'll get the role. But I'll certainly admit, O'Quinn definitely has the look. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) was previously rumored to be up for the role, as well as Mark Strong (John Carter, Sherlock Holmes) but both actors debunked have since debunked those rumors. With filming expected to begin in earnest in early 2014,expect official casting announcements to come sooner rather than later.

A suit without the armor bit would be more inline with the video games to.   Sounds good to me, guess we could be in for a more grey'ish color as well?

    • 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.

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
