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.

    • 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.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
