Stephen Amell really needs to have a cameo here and a full part in the Justice League movie!

Hell no to that if you ask me. His acting skills are great for a tv series like Arrow, but not for a movie like this. If Green Arrow and The Flash are going to be in the Justice League than I'd rather see them played out by other actors.

 

I'd imagine the suit is quite thick & bulks him up a good bit.

Draconian Guppy made it sound like Ben Affleck still had to train a #### ton for the role. But clearly he doesn't need to since he can already wear the suit as it is. Putting on more weight would probably make it harder for him to put the suit on as well.

I don't think WB want's to mix the movie universe and the tv universe, pretty hard to do so now with what the CW did to Smallville etc.  So while it would be nice if the movies had tie-ins with their tv show counterparts in some fashion I just don't see it happening.   The movies will do it's own thing and have it's own actors, it's too late to bring them together now I think.

 

One of the things that I always hated about US comics is all the different stories and also alternate/parallel universe stuff, it gets way too complicated and I'm glad DC went ahead with the new 52 and a fresh start of sorts.  But even now, looking at Batman alone, there's what?  At least 4 different batman comics/stories that are going iirc.  I only follow the main Batman comic though I did start on Batman Eternal to, so that's two right there, plus Batman Inc, and others.   The reason I enjoy some manga more is because it's just one thing, start to finish (and yes they actually do end at some point) with maybe 1 or 2 spin-offs tops.  Less to keep track of for me, not as complicated/convoluted and so on.

The huge events from the main Batman book have repercussions in the other books though. Batman: Eternal will do the same since they're going to change Gotham for good in that book. I also suggest picking up the new Detective Comics from #30. They started with a new creative team and they tell their own stories, while incorporating the big things from the main book (like the other books do) but they're going their own way about it. It's pretty interesting so far, and it has awesome art.

And yeah, they're too late with linking the TV series with the movie verse. Personally I don't see the actors from the series at the same level as the ones that are going to be in the films.

Yeah I saw several pics of him floating around. I dunno, I just thought compared to that suit image, we was missing a bit :p

As far as I know, it's a recent picture from him in the suit. That's why I was wondering why he needs to put on a lot of weight, while he clearly already has enough :p

Batman vs Superman plays their cards carefully

Batman vs. Superman cinematographer Larry Fong (Watchmen) has uploaded a very interesting image of a playing card embedded into a wall. Check out the image below!

As we all must know, the Joker is famous for his deck of cards. Although we cannot see the suit of the card, it could possibly be a hint towards the character's appearance in the upcoming Man of Steel Sequel. Of course, it could all be ludicrous. Share your thoughts or knowledge below!

First they cast Affleck as Batman. Then they tease the Joker being in the film. I doubt anyone will ever live up to Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight. It's such a bad idea to put the Joker in this movie, because anything less than Ledger's Joker will be a disappointment.

I've always thought that Michael Pitt would have been a great Joker.

I was just saying this on Twitter, Heathus made it and died with it so let's not recast him but mention him that's alright.

You can't have Batman without the Joker. You guys need to let it go. That was a different Batman universe.

Technically not a Batman centric movie, if this was a Batman alone movie then yeah.

People made the same complaints when Ledger was cast as the Joker. Saying that, I'd be surprised if the Joker makes an appearance. He might be involved but not seen on camera though.

I knew someone was going to reply with this. Yeah, I was one of the people that thought Ledger was going to be terrible, but he turned out to be unbelievably amazing. In all honesty, do you think anyone could give another performance like that?

Sure I do, if they have their own take on it. For instance, I love Hamill's role as the Joker in the Batman: Arkham franchise and I could easily imagine actors like Daniel Day Lewis or Benedict Cumberbatch pulling it off.

Of course you can have a Batman without the Joker. Not all the well known Batman stories are about him and the Joker.

They should do a straight up The Dark Knight Returns adaptation and ignore any continuity ties with Man of Steel, it sucked anyway. But Affleck is too young for that version of Batman, and they want to actually launch the extended universe with this, so I foresee a mess that will just try to cram in some TDKR in it, much like The Dark Knight Rises.

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
