How about making a live action version of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker? IMO that would be EPIC, especially if it were the UNedited cut (Y)

As much as I loved the animated version, they should leave that as it is and do original things with Batman Beyond. Much like they did with The Dark Knight trilogy.

In a similar vein, we have rumored Wonder Woman Jamie Alexander saying to Jay Leno:

 

It would definitely be a cool job. I was a huge fan growing up, not just [of] the show, but the comic books too.

This is really the only way they can do it tbh.  They need to introduce WW and anyone else through either a Superman or Batman movie, or in this case both, and then later do a movie for them on their own with a tie in to a big JL movie.

I don't see how that's the only way? I can easily see Wonder Woman have her own film before meeting up with either Superman or Batman. Besides, it would be pretty awesome to see her origin with Steve Trevor in it on the big screen. They can all pretty much have their own films before joining the Justice League. I mean, Thor and the other members of the Avengers didn't need Iron Man to introduce them to the general public.

Speaking of Thor, I think I'd rather see someone else play Wonder Woman since Jamie Alexander already plays Sif in Thor.

I don't think a WW movie before her intro in this movie will do as well on it's own, or a Flash movie for example.  We all know how GL turned out and that was just sad.   The first Thor movie imo was average, and as far as comic book movies go it didn't do exceptionally well at the box office either, it's on the lower end of the spectrum money wise compared to everything else.   The 2nd movie has had a better start though a bigger drop off after it's first week compared to the first one which says to me that it gained support from the success of the Avengers movie to an extent.   Something I think would act as a catalyst for a WW movie after people see her in Superman vs Batman.  

 

And lets be honest here, Iron Man made Avengers a success, without RDJ and his Tony Stark I doubt that movie does as good as it ended up doing.    Can they do it the other way like you say?  Sure, but I don't think they'll have as much success as they can if they do it this way instead.   Let's be clear here, the studio put Batman in the MoS sequel because Batman brings in more money on his own than any other comic book hero so far.   The only ones who come close are IM and the original Spider-man trilogy films (the newest one didn't come close to those).    In the end WB wants to maximize it's returns and if they're going to drop $150m on a WW movie they want to do all they can to make sure it can bring in as much as it can in the future.

Well, GL turned out the way it did because of the writers/director. You're right that Iron Man had a big influence on the Avengers though. I guess they could have the introduction of WW in a MoS film, but I also feel a origin film is necessary for the characters besides Batman and Superman. If they'd use Superman and Batman films to introduce the remaining Justice League characters, it would become predictable as well.

I'd still rather have them do origin films of all the remaining characters before they get to the point of forming the Justice League. I mean, what would the reason be for Superman or Batman to be in contact with them besides a global thread?

I agree that she should get a origin movie, but that could always come after this SvB movie as well.   One last thing of note that follows on with what I was saying.  If you look at the IM movies,  pure box office wise.  The 3rd one got a nice boost in it's sales compared to the first 2.   This could mean be directly related to the success of Avengers and from what I remember IM3's trailers and even it's plot played off of the events from Avengers, sort of made it like a sequel of sorts.  I haven't seen the new Thor yet so I don't know if they used anything from Avengers to build off of but maybe.

I haven't seen Thor yet either but I do believe they speak about what happened in the Avengers. Specially Thor himself and Loki I bet. Perhaps they can have the DC characters have cameo roles in Superman/Batman films and then have their own respective origin film. It would be sweet to see Flash or Green Arrow in a Batman film.

Loving the last 2 titles of that list a lot. They both have a mystery about them and aren't necessarily about Batman. The others are kinda clich? for a Batman title.

I don't know about titles and all that but since the first one was Man of Steel then wouldn't the sequel also be Man of Steel with some subtitle after?   Why totally change it?

Because it's their sandbox?

 

Sure, and they can do it but you already built a fan base of sorts and marketing from the original.  This being a sequel it would make better sense to just build off of the first one instead of going with a whole new title.  Then people who haven't been following the news closely wouldn't know it's a sequel from the start.

Gal Gadot Cast As WONDER WOMAN In BATMAN VS SUPERMAN!

Variety report that Gal Gadot has landed ONE of the female leads in Zack Snyder's still untitled Batman vs. Superman themed sequel to Man Of Steel..and that role is indeed, Wonder Woman! We don't have a whole lot more on this for now, but here are some quotes from Snyder: ?Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.?

    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      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 · Posted

      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 · Posted

      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.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By JayZJay · Posted

      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.
