Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)


Recommended Posts

I don't see why it's hard to understand, kryptonite levels the playing field in a fight vs superman.  There's also a few other things, like the power suit Batman uses, it ups his strength a good bit so that his hits have some effect on Superman.

 

You guys can just youtube the dark knight returns fight, it's up there, you can see how it goes down yourselves. 

 

 

Looks like Batman would have snapped his neck after Superman took the mask off.

 

I don't know if I'll see this in theaters or not.

Doesn't mean the fight or much of anything else will play out the same in the movie.  Just because they're borrowing elements/looks doesn't mean the fight or it's reasons are going to be the same, I really doubt they will be.

Looks like a normal part of the blighted zones except for the sign. Easy work for the staging crews.

 

 

couldn't think of a better place to show depict a crime ridden, run down, hopeless city like Gotham than by using Detroit.

Yeah, Chicago too good to act as a rundown Gotham, silly Nolan.  :P

 

Actually, Detroit doesn't have the skyline to fill in for what they show Gotham as, at least not from what I remember of it.  They can just add buildings I guess, Hollywood magic and all that.

Not trying to knock the city, it's fine but I don't think it's a good match for Gotham if that's the goal.

Set Report

* ?Aquaman? is indeed in the film and there was some sort of film test on a water set recently. The character has a very small role in the BvS.

* The car chase scenes that will take place this coming weekend will not, most likely, include the Batmobile. Those pics online of Ben Affleck (sporting very gray hair on his temples) as Bruce Wayne involve a scene in the film where he?s saving people after some sort of attack on Metropolis which causes a lot of destruction.

* There?s a very ?anti-Superman? theme to the film which includes people marching in protest against him.

According to Devin Faraci at Badass Digest, when DAWN OF JUSTICE opens, Batman will have been patrolling the streets of Gotham for close to 30 years, and will still be little more than an underworld nightmare. There are stories and rumors, but he does his work under cover of darkness and is certainly not out in the open. He?s never even really been photographed. So for the people of Gotham, he is little more than a fantasy.

 

Some recent photos emerged from the set, revealing Affleck as an older version of Bruce Wayne, complete with greying temples.

So much DC, I feel happy now, I've never been as big of a Marvel fan (outside of Wolverine) as I am a Batman fans and just DC in general.

 

The timing between BvS and the next one in August is interesting, wonder what it is.  At this point my bet is on a WW movie though, she's the one who needs something more to help flush out the trinity since BvS is going to be mostly about the other 2 as we expect.

 

That would probably leave a Flash and new Green Lantern movie as the two in 2017, unless the first one in 2017 is a team up flash+GL movie (hard to say if either of them can carry a movie on their own, specially with how bad the last GL movie did) which if that's the case then the 2nd movie in 2017 could be MoS2?

Lionel Luthor or Thomas Wayne?

 

Hard to say, at first guess I'd go with Thomas Wayne, but then I don't know much about how Lionel Luthor should look (haven't read much superman compared to all the batman I've seen). 

hopefully one of the untitled DC filmes is Justice League.

It's safe to say that 1 of those films is definitely a JL film! :D Perhaps the one from 07/27/18 which a perfect date for such a film.

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
