Is Cyborg/John Stewart In BATMAN VS SUPERMAN?

Latino Review's Elmayimbe is reporting that Zach Snyder is looking for an athletic black actor in his 20s for a cameo in 2016's blockbuster, with the character returning throughout the DC cinematic universe. The role will not be shooting for anymore than a few days.

On top of this the source mentioned that The Fantastic Four reboot's Human Torch, Michael B. Jordan, met with Zach Snyder to discuss the role! And let's not forget, we have seen some filming in football stadiums...

The source didn't mention any details on the character being played so it's up to us; who do you think the (alleged) role is? Victor Stone (Cyborg) and John Stewart (Green Lantern) are the most likely choices but sign off your thoughts below!

Did you guys read Snyder's latest interview? Contradictions left and right.

 

"Unfortunately, the fans don?t know the material"
Hehehehee


"You're not as tied to the mythology"
Hehehehee

 

 

"I understand the canon. I?m not crazy. I know what these characters need from a mythological standpoint."

Hehehehee

 

 

This movie is going to be a mess. But everyone will still go see it, most will claim to see for the "mess" factor, it will make a zillion dollars and we'll get six more of BvS movies.

There's rumour going around the web that this is the cowl that they'll be using for Batman:

A rumour, but wouldn't it be awesome if that was the actual cowl? I'm loving it to be honest. And I'm really hoping we'll finally be seeing those white lenses in the cowl. It looks so much cooler than seeing the character's real eyes. And it gives the indication that there's a whole system build into the cowl.

Guys, that's not it at all. It's an image that is 10 years old. It surfaced when Christian Bale was Batman and everyone wanted to know what his suit looked like.

Crazy rumours from the set! http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Enphlieuwince/news/?a=96303

? BatFleck will be 40 years old, retired.

? The Batsuit and Batmobile are A...MA...ZING!!!!

? Except for several details, the events that took place in the NolanVerse are going to be Canon. Thalia's involvement in the events of TDKR will not be canon, the supposed death of Bane is also not canon. Other small details are made non-canon.

? After the events of TDKR, BatFleck retired to rebuild Gotham as Bruce Wayne. Robin (in the TDKR but not played by JGL) becomes his first protege as NightWing. There is a 7-year time period between the event in the TDKR and MoS. So, BatFleck has been retired for 7 years.

? During this time, knowing that crime needs to be dealt with, BatFleck constituted the BatFamily: NightWing, BatWing, BatGirl, RedRobin and Robin. The latter died at the hand of The Joker who escaped during the TDKR's event but then reappeared. As a way of getting BatFleck's attention, the Joker devised a plan to attack one of his proteges. He targeted the youngest and less experienced one - Robin. He killed him and BatFleck has been blaming himself day and night for it, this sets up a Batman: Under The Red Hood solo movie.

? In addition to his [bat Family], BatFleck has launched a bunch of BatDrones & BatAndroids ("[bat Army]") Bruce Wayne is one of the most influential man on the planet due to his rebuilding agenda in Gotham, and the rise of Wayne Enterprises.

? Gotham City is basically led by [bruce Wayne & Wayne Enterprises] by day and the [bat Family] & [bat Army] by night. Bruce Wayne has to find time to manage both sides. And, he does. There have been speculation that Bruce Wayne is an ally of the Batman. Bruce admits that he's been "financing" the Batman. But, he says he's never actually met the Batman. He argues that the Batman is making Gotham City a safer place. He argues that without the Batman, Gotham would have been destroyed. This is, of course, the general consensus in the populace. Hence, the fact that he's siding with Batman does not really raise any concerns.

? After the TDKR's event and before MoS, Gotham city is internationally known as the Batman's City. The Batman became an international Legend, the Bat symbol is now viewed as a symbol of Justice, Defiance, and Courage. People are increasingly believing that BatFleck's still alive and kicking...watching over Gotham as a guardian angel. The authorities don't like this, they don't like how the mythos of this vigilante is making them look like a bunch of P****. They would like to put a stop to the [bat Family] and the [bat Army]. In other words, the Batman is an embarrassment to them, he's a problem.

? BatFleck is concerned by the events of MoS. Bane's terror in Gotham is still fresh in his memory; the reconstruction of Gotham is not completely done. Everyone saw what this alien is capable of. BatFleck is the world's greatest Detective and Prep. Expert; he decides to research every single details there is to know about Kal-El.

? Bruce Wayne wants to get involved with the reconstruction of Metropolis. This means that Wayne Enterprises and LexCorp have to work together. He's not thrilled about it but it's for the greater good.

It's kind of funny how all of those revolve around Batman and you get zero info about Superman in all of this.  Haha.

When asked if he was to shave his head for DC's Batman/Superman film, The Social Network actor joked "Oh, I'm not allowed to say anything about anything for the next six years, I haven't called my mom back in months.

I like the sound of some of this, but other parts just seem off.

Specifically

With the Batfamily, isn't there going to be enough people in this movie already?

Or that there just seems to be so much exposition for Batman, where does this leave everyone else? Especially considering it's technically meant to be MoS2....

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
