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


Recommended Posts

To be honest, I'm not believing the rumor about Denzel being Green Lantern. I just can't see him as Green Lantern and I just can't see him in a superhero film for that matter either. He's a great actor and I love watching his films, but he shouldn't be in films like these if you ask me. Also, I'd think they'd be hiring too many A-list actors for this film if he was going to be in it.

I think that the 3rd Man of Steel film should be only about Superman, and no other heroes. The ACT III you're talking about should just be the first Justice League film.

Denzel is too old to play John Stewart.

Shemar Moore of Criminal Minds has the intensity, physique and youth to play John Stewart. His part on CM is also a former Marine, like Stewart, and he has it down.

He has the look that's for sure

Denzel Washington Considered For Green Lantern In "Batman vs Superman"

According to our source, the ?Training Day? actor is being considered for the role of Green Lantern John Stewart instead. If this proves to be true, Green Lantern will join an ever growing list of members from DC?s Justice League of America that also include Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Wait...why not use Ryan Reyonds again for the Green Lantern?? Why go with someone else, I'm sure he would do the part if asked! I mean they talked about the Green Lantern 2 and 3 here - http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ryan_Reynolds_Talks_Green_Lantern_2_%26_3

am I missing something here with all this or what?

1) Reynolds sucked as Hal Jordan.

2) Earth has more than one Green Lantern in the Corps, one of them being John Stewart - a black Detroit architect & former Marine. Many fans actually prefer him to Jordan. He's also the Justice League animated series Green Lantern.

The Green Lantern is one of those films that deserves and needs a reboot that's done right. With a completely new cast and one that features the suits in a much nicer way. They should keep those close to what they look like in the comic-books. You know what would be a nice way is that they'd introduce the Lanterns of Earth throughout the films, all of them having their own intro films. And then have them all team up with the Lantern Corps against the Sinestro Corps. Though I guess the teamin-up of heroes to defeat a big threat would be getting old by then :p

Batman vs Superman Has a $131 Million Dollar Film Budget in Michigan

Total Budget rumor here: $250 million

I hear some filming will also be in Toronto. Detroit is likely going to be Gotham City and Toronto the stand-in for Metropolis.

If so we have a real stand-in for the BatCave as well - they can choose from 10 km2 of salt mines 1200+ feet below the city. Perfect.

Are you serious? Denzel Washington been Green Lantern? is this a joke or a funny type of movie? if this is true, the whole movie is going to be a joke.

It was a casting rumour :p

- Jason Mamoa will not be Martian Manhunter or Aquaman. Neither character is in the film.

- Wonder Woman could have ?cameo plus? type role in the film, on par with what Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow did in Iron Man 2

- Expects the first look at Ben Affleck in early 2014 right around the time they will start filming in February.

- Has been told that the film is truly a Superman sequel and not a secret Justice League film like everyone suspects.

- Thinks that Arrow being included in the DC Movie Universe is wishful thinking.

- Believes we will get another Superman sequel without any other DC characters.

- Character wise he expects Batman to be, ? a healthy amount of Dark Knight Returns, a bit of Kingdom Come, and just a dash of Batman Beyond.?

- No Batman villains will be included.

- Doesn?t expect any shade of blue or tights for the Batsuit. More armor with Beyond and or Kingdom Come capabilities.

Oh man, the things they have planned for Batman sounds pretty sweet! And I'm glad Wonder Woman's role will be like Black Widow's in Iron Man 2. Good to know it'll be a proper Superman sequel and not a Justice League film!

Also, who would think that Jason Mamoa would be Martian Manhunter or Aquaman? He doesn't look suited to play either of those 2 characters :p

Sounds like it'll be how I expected with any other JL heroes in a cameo of sorts.  I could see WW acting as Bruce Waynes GF working off of the animated JL pairing they had going.  Then towards the end of the movie when things are going down she comes out as WW and shows her abilities.

I could see that too. It makes a lot of sense. Maybe too much sense for Hollywood.

"Happy New Year! I have a minor update regarding location shooting BvS. I was told that location shooting of vehicle chase scenes (read: Batmobile scenes) will not take place until the Summer. I am under the impression that other location shooting, including exteriors -- in addition to studio shooting -- could begin as soon as next month, but that has not been confirmed. I'll continue to keep my ears to the ground."

Cosmic Book News has a shifty history when it comes to these insider scoops, but I'm willing to take their report with a grain HUGE of salt. According to them, "Some details we have been given on the Wonder Woman costume include it will be similar to 300 and Greek Mythology.

The Golden Eagle breast plate is still there as are the bracelets on her wrists as well as the crown with a red torso top, which is more like protective thick leather armor and red knee high boots.

Our DC Entertainment source then said things start to change as he looked at art with about 40 different versions designed all with different bottoms. Some of the designs had the classic pants look, trousers, skirts, everything.

Our DC Entertainment source believes the one chosen is a sort of dark blue skirt with a belt around the top where a sword and lasso hang from. The source also believes Wonder Woman will have a round gold and black shield and possibly a red cape that sits to the right hand side."

It does sound interesting but I'm gonna reserve my judgment when we get our first official look of Wonder Woman whenever that is. Also, something that really intrigued me was when they said, "We're told Gal Gadot will be put on a 3500 calorie-a-day diet training three hours a day possibly with trainer Mark Twight."

Alter's been leaking a lot of stuff but isn't part of the crew - officially. Seems he's an unofficial conduit for the viral campaign.

That said, straigjt to Justice League - nonstop? Well, that would explain all the characters.

Another tidbit is that Affleck helped bring in Chris Terrio, the Oscar winning writer of Argo, to tighten up the script before shooting began.

As much as I'd like to see a Justice League movie, I think jumping right into it isn't a good idea.. unless they have some big surprises for us. The Avengers did so well because they gradually built up to it with 5 movies. Iron Man (2008), The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron man 2 (2010), Thor (2011) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

 

I really hope they call it something else. Where's Flash? Where's the Martian Manhunter? And Aquaman? They shouldn't jump into a Justice League movie without these characters.

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
