It looks really good!

I came here, because I saw your post pop up in the mini spy, only to find a normal comment and not a sneak peak advance of the film you've gotten me used to. We need to convice the debs to add a prefix, when you post a sneak peak and when you post a normal post :P

I am considering retracting my previous post about looking forward to this due to the lineup of actors which I have only just seen:

 

Batman - Ben Affleck - Hell no

Lex Luther - Jesse Eisenberg - No

 

I mean they managed to intice Henry Cavill back to be superman so why not Christian Bale as batman. :( sucks

 

Regarldess im sure it will be awesome, I just wish Christian Bale was in it

When I first posted I hadn't bothered to look at the actors until I was in work the other day and one of my guys mentioned the movie so it prompted me to look and my god I was quite shocked!!!!

 

I hope to be surprised as well, Ben Affleck has had some good movies I will give him that but Im still not confident. And Jesse Eisenberg - I think I will hate him regardless in this sort of movie.

Bale was done at 3, it was clear and he's no Depp so they're not going to drop a big $50mil check in his hands to get him to come back.  There's also the fact that this Batman and that Batman aren't the same batman, we're talking two different movie universes here so it makes even less sense to keep the same actor.

 

Bens going to play it fine, haters can hate all they want but it's the same thing we keep hearing whenever they first post who's going to play some comic book hero only to  find out that hey, maybe directors actually know how to cast for their movies.   You guys don't think Bale didn't get some hate when they first posted he'd be the new batman in the reboot?   We all know Ledge as Joker was full of hate.   The marvel fans freaked out when they first heard RDJ was going to play Iron Man,  but look at them now, just spooning over him.    The list goes on, even all the way back to the first Batman movie with Keaton, what he can only do comedy wtfx is Burton thinking!   Well, we all should remember how that turned out, it turned out great.  

 

When all the complainers start to direct their own movies and make great casting moves, then yeah, I'll start to listen to them more but for now, move on, the Ben hate was months ago.

Actually, after reading this comment I agree in part. When I first read Bale was going to be Batman I was thrilled but with the third Batman movie I was heavily disappointed in him with his acting skills for the batman part, too forced and too faked when he spoke, tbh it ruined his part.

 

And for Ledge, I had only seen him in basic movies before this so I thought this was going to be a very big role to live up to and he is now down as one of the most physiologically fuuuuuuuuuucked members of the cinema world due to his acting and sheer disengagement with humanity which is amazing AND unexpected.

 

yeah... this one is so true.  no one expected that performance AT ALL.

Bale ######ed up several times as mentioned above, BUT he did pull off two out of three at least for me so I still have hope for Affleck

One of the things I remember when they first said Bale was going to be batman was fans reacting with things like , "he's too short!" and or "He's not big enough/built enough to play Batman!"   Stuff like that. 

 

Anyways, it's good to see little bits leaking out here and there but I don't want too many spoilers etc.

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      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 · Posted

      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.
