Batman To Reportedly Wear Kryptonite-Laced, Missile-Firing Armored Batsuit In Batman V. Superman

 


Rumors are surfacing online about the finer details of The Dark Knight?s battle armor in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. In a rumor from Batman-News.com, the armor used to combat Superman will take many visual cues from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns? design. This matches what was shown at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year. The rumor however, also says that Batman?s armor will be laced with Kryptonite and will fire missiles. While director Zack Snyder has not yet introduced Kryptonite into the DC Cinematic Universe, he teased in an interview last year that the element didn?t not exist.

The rumor also mentioned that Ben Affleck?s Batman will drive two different vehicles in the film. While Warner Bros. officially announced the Batmobile, the report couldn?t confirm if the second vehicle would be another set of wheels, or an aerial vehicle like the Batplane.

There were hints early on that the batmobile we saw in those first black and white teaser shots was only one of a few, but it'll be interesting if it's another batmobile or like the post says something else.

Isn't that more the suit though? i.e. it makes him look more toned/bigger (kind of like Christian Bale and his batman suit)

 

Without the suit in man of steel, he didn't look as big/ripped (obviously still VERY big and toned though!)

Having the idea of batman wearing a suit with Kryptonite in it is just stupid to throw out there just to make it so they can fight each other. If the fighting is like it was in the Avengers then fine so long as they combine at the end to defeat a common enemy and all is happy.

This is at least partly based on The Dark Knight Returns, in which he used Kryptonite (delivered by Oliver Queen) to reduce Sups strength.

Without Oliver in the film (?) putting it in his armor is a KISS alternative.

Also, Bats has kept pieces of Kryptonite in his kit for decades just in case Sups went rogue, even after they were allies. He also keeps different types (green, red, blue, gold etc) in a safe in the Batcave.

Sometimes he's carried it as a dart, other times as a blade or some other deliverable form. Whatever, Bats is ready for about anything.

Major Batman Character Rumored To Already Be Dead In Batman V. Superman

 

New reports are surfacing at Bad Ass Digest that one of Batman?s allies will have already bitten the dust prior the Batman V. Superman?s events.

 

Still with us? Fair enough. The latest rumor is that Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon will be dead and buried by the time that Batman clashes with the Man of Steel. Digest reports that in the film?s script, there is a call for a shot of James Gordon?s memorial plaque. Gordon wouldn't be the first dead ally to enter the film?s rumor mill, as many reported several months ago that Batman V. Superman?s universe would also have a dead Robin.

Why? We've not even seen Robin on the big screen yet! (No, I'm not countil Chris O'Donnell!) :P

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
