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

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
