Bleeding Cool said it would be odd if he's the Flash, because why only use green screen on the lower-legs/feet. So they said it could be Metallo, and those green parts are robotic parts.

 

So people see a green suit under his clothes and exposed at the lower legs and they think, The Flash! And sure enough you can check sites and find people claiming that McNairy is playing Barry Allen.

Now I just don?t see that. Why would you just have the lower legs showing on the Flash? What about his powers needs to be CG from the kneecap down?

The other speculation? and I?m more likely to buy this one? is that he?s playing Metallo. I can see a scenario where he looks like normal John Corben until you get to the robotic feet.

Either way, what these photos tell us is that McNairy is playing something that gets CG feet? or he has really really odd taste in socks.

Someone on Twitter thought it could be Will Magnus, creator of the Metal Man. Who could potentially work on Cyborg over at S.T.A.R. Labs. But then again, why would he have green screen on his feet?

Nice, but yeah, limited neck movement maybe?

Yep, but that was confirmed with the first reveal ;) I personally don't mind it to be honest because this is the first suit that looks as close as possible to the comic-book version.

But even in the comics/animated movies/series, he can move his head around.  I wonder why it's so hard to do that in the live action movies really?

It's going to sounds lame; but that's because it's drawn and not real material. There's a Making-Of video of "Batman (1989)" where they talk about why Michael Keaton wasn't able to turn his head. If he turned his head to the left, there would be a huge gap on the right side of the cowl, as it wouldn't move with the head. The material that they use for the cowl can't stretch the same way it can in drawn versions of the cowl.

Otherwise they'd have to go the same way as they went with The Dark Knight. While the method they used in The Dark Knight looked awesome, I'm kinda glad that the cowl is attached to the cape in this film.

I agree that it looks great in this new version but I also think it's possible to have some level of movement even when it's attached as one piece.  The neck area doesn't have to be so rigid for example, though the overall look of it is to make him seem bigger/meaner etc, I just think it's doable in some creative ways.

Apparently Scoot's role has been revealed...

 

"Scoot is playing Jimmy Olsen, but with a bit of a twist. Jimmy was injured during the battle of Zod vs Superman. His legs where pinned under falling building rubble and that caused him to lose the legs. He now walks with the use of two prosthetic legs." The source goes on to add "He doesn't blame Superman for it [his loss of legs]. He feels grateful that Superman saved the world."

I don't know to be honest. It think the cowl would flap open either way because of how the cowl looks.

It might just be those photos, but I also think at the end of MoS, that when he's dressed up as Clark he doesn't look as buff as when he's in the suit.  I suppose they're using cloths that are a few sizes too big to hide his pecks?   Anyways, I don't remember a jail scene from TDKR, are they using something from the comic in this case as well or no?

They're not completely adapting TDKR, only taking a few things from it.

Yeah, which is why I'm asking if this "jail scene" is something from it or not, because I don't remember one, but it's been a while.

Ah, it looked like you thought they were adapting TDKR. But nope, there's no jail scene in it :p

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
