There's quite a few easter eggs in the trailer. Red Son Batman for starters, a Robin costume covered by Joker graffiti for another. At least I think it was a Red Son reference and pretty sure it was a Robin costume I saw :D

 

Either way, that was a really good trailer. Gal Gadot (I think that's how you spell her name) looked great as WW and I thought Jessie Eisenberg was fine as Lex, especially with how they are portraying him in the movie. As usual since I'm old and stuff, I don't have any problem with Affleck as Batman. Hell I remember when Keaton was cast as Batman and everyone went ape ###### and that was before the internet. Now everyone loves Keaton as Batman.

 

Also, that last scene they show with Batman rising out of the Batmobile and standing toe to toe with Superman - epicness.

He'll probably be bald by the end of the movie...hopefully.

 

I've been working on my own version of Superman in comic form and that's how I went about making him bald and hating Supes. He's basically infected with kryptonite in my version and requires round the clock medical care, mostly blood transfusions. He's actively trying to get Superman's blood to cure himself. I really should finish it one day. Drawing it was half the fun :)

Not impressed with the new trailer. I don't understand why Batman is old and yet Lex Luthor is young - it would have made more sense to cast Bryan Cranston, as Jesse Eisenberg looks out of his depth. The CGI is really poor

For a second I thought that was Nicolas Cage

Actually I am pretty sure that is Jeffrey Dean Morgan

 

Who was also in Watchman which was also directed by Zack Snyder.

 

I could very well be wrong but I am thinking he is playing Bruce Wayne father in a flash back when he and his wife were murdered.

So, I'm excited, I don't think Batman's age is an issue, I wouldn't put him in his 50s, I think he's a bit younger, while this does play homage to dark knight returns it's not that story, and I doubt it borrows anything from it other than the main fight, so batman shouldn't be as old as he is in that comic.  I think he's in his 40s, otherwise how do they keep doing batman movies after this?  He can't be too old, but can't be too young either, so 40s sounds good to me. 

 

As for the story and WWs part in is and all that stuff, all I can do is guess at this time, but I'm thinking the government gets in bed with lex, some plan goes sideways, bigger threat comes up, after or in the middle of the batman v superman fight, which will have them team up and also brings in WW, so they should all be fighting the same enemy by the end.

I hate Zack Snyder's visual style. The shot with the rocket from this trailer looks like the one from the oil rig from Man of Steel. Incredibly fake. I don't get his need to add godawful CGI shots in movies that otherwise strive to have a gritty, realistic visual style. Either make a 300 or a Bourne, but for crying out loud, don't mix it up.

I think the film will look great, it doesn't come out for another year, they're going to keep working on the CGI and other post-production work.   I think it looks great, then again I don't have a problem with Snyders style, it's his own, I can respect that.

That was indeed Jason Todd's Robin costume. And he looked like Red Son Batman, but even more like the Batman from Gotham by Gaslight. I like the fact that Ben Affleck is Batman a lot. It means that Batman is experienced so we'll be seeing him in much more dire situations than in previous movies.

And yeah, I had goosebumps throughout the whole trailer! :D

    • Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview by David Uzondu Microsoft has announced that WSL containers, a feature that allows developers to run Linux containers natively inside Windows without the need for Docker Desktop, is now available in public preview several weeks after Microsoft previewed it at Build 2026. To use the new container feature, you first have to install the latest pre-release version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux by running a quick update command in your terminal: wsl --update --pre-release After installing, you'd get access to the new Linux container CLI (wslc.exe) and the programmable API. Microsoft said that the CLI has a "familiar format" that matches the toolsets developers already use every day. If you know standard Docker commands, your muscle memory will translate directly to wslc.exe, which even features a built-in alias called container.exe. You can quickly run a full Ubuntu KDE desktop container by exposing ports, or pass your graphics card straight into a machine learning environment to run PyTorch workloads. Passing the --gpus all flag inside the run command instantly links your hardware. Image via Microsoft As for the API, developers can now embed Linux container operations directly inside native Windows applications without exposing the command line to users. The team integrated the API directly into MSBuild and CMake, so developers can define container steps directly in project files. Apart from bringing the CLI and API into public preview, Microsoft also said that it's working on a new default file system called virtiofs to speed up file transfer rates between Windows and Linux. Microsoft also introduced an experimental networking mode named consomme, which resolves compatibility issues with corporate VPNs by routing Linux network traffic straight through Windows. One thing to note about WSL containers is that they don't run in your standard WSL distributions; instead, every application and CLI session spawns its own lightweight Hyper-V utility VM in the background. This basically reduces the chances of one app snooping on the container of another app.
    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
