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

    • Surprise Execs are dumb. I hope the rehired engineers said were not coming back until we get 2x our salary.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
