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

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By WaltC · Posted

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.
