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

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.

      Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
