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.

Superman/Batman #49

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

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats by Paul Hill Microsoft has just launched Visual Studio Code 1.126, its latest weekly release. This time, the company has focused on letting you see the total cost of chat sessions to spot expensive conversations; enabling multiple chats per session that run side-by-side in one agent host Copilot session; and letting you browse new folders safely in restricted mode. We have now reached the stage where free AI in IDEs is coming to an end. To help you keep track of your costs, VS Code now lets you see the entire cost of a chat session, rather than just individual turns. This should give you more transparency about which sessions consume the most credits, so you can better manage your usage over time and spend less. For those of you using the Agents window, you know it is possible to run and manage multiple agent sessions at once. In this update, a Copilot session started from an agent host can hold several chats at once. Explaining how this feature works, Microsoft writes: Finally, from this update forward, Microsoft will remove the pop-up when opening an untrusted folder. When you open a new folder now, it will automatically open in Restricted Mode. You will see a banner that lets you manage the trust level of the folder. Microsoft has made this change so that it’s easier to start inspecting code without giving it trust right away. If you have VS Code, you can check for updates within the app now to get this new version. Otherwise, you can download it from the Visual Studio Code website.
    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com
