There's still time to polish the CGI, this isn't coming out for another year, normally all the CGI is wrapped up in post production.  I think they just did a quick job for the trailer.   Personally, CGI issues aside, I think it's fine.  If they don't touch it up by it's theatrical release, there's always the BluRay version, it's not the first or last time a studio goes back and tweaks movies for their BD releases.

If the movies are part of a big DC family, Batman v. Superman is the older, more mature sibling on which the weight of responsibility falls. Suicide Squad is the bratty little kid, chewing bubble gum and tagging walls.

At first Bats and Sups didn't exactly get along, and they've had their moments since, so that's not new. This isn't the Super Friends.

The heat vision was probably Zod, but both were tearing ass through the cities.

I'm wondering of the crisis that pulls them together is the Atlantean-Amazon war from Flashpoint?

It was started by assassination of Amazon Queen Hippolyta at the (partly political) wedding of Arthur and Diana. Garth, an ally of Arthur, was blamed but that wasnt the case.

It would be really too much if they introduced an alternate universe in the movie that's supposed to establish the 'regular' universe. I'm thinking it's probably Lex and his machinations that unites them.

They don't have to introduce all of Flashpoint, or even Flash, just the war and the runup to it.

 

Wasn't there rumors of a bunch of cameos/teasers of other heroes like Flash though?  Or are we just going to get a glimpse of Aquaman, though that's still a rumor as well I think?

I'm posting this video because if it's true, that's amazing. But it's only a fan theory that AngryJoe seems to want to believe (like I want to believe, it would be awesome, seriously) - BUT beware of possible spoilers if it is true. POSSIBLE SPOILERS IF TRUE I REPEAT:

 

WARNING: Video contains swearing.

What's more exciting than watching Batman and Superman square off on the big screen for the first time? Task Force X apparently! In a surprising turn of events, the Comic-Con trailer for Suicide Squad has overtaken it's Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice counterpart on YouTube views - despite being released a whole two days later. Currently, the David Ayer helmed film is sitting on over 36.1 million views on the popular video sharing website, while BVS has only 34.9 million.

Glad to hear that. Despite Man of Steel being a terrible introduction to these movies, at least on paper, DC seems to be taking a bit more creative approach -- the directors aren't just hired nobodies, and the story isn't just the same recycled turd over and over again. Suicide Squad could be the most refreshing take on these movies exactly because it's not just Random Hero fighting Cheesy Villain Counterpart. As a matter of fact, that's the most interesting aspect of BvS as well.

I have to think that WB and DC have a plan laid out for how they want these movies to tie into each other, unless they decide to just figure that out after the fact, but I don't think so, I think SS and BvS will be linked in some fashion and events in both will play into the next solo Batman movie as well.  The strongest rumor out there right now, or at least one that I think is more likely, is that the suit was Jason Todds and the solo batman movie we're going to get is going to borrow from the Red Hood arc and Todds return etc. 

 

I really hope WB/DC can work everything together, as far as how they introduce other heroes like Flash, GL, Aquaman and bring them all into the big JL movie.  Heck, the best thing would be to have cameos or maybe a bit more than just a cameo from one of the trinity members in future flash, GL movies to not only tie things up but also give those movies a boost.

I wouldn't mind it. It's time for them to acknowledge the Robin's in the movies properly, and I'm really glad that so far they're doing that. Seeing Jason Todd in person in the movie will be a HUGE deal for me!

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.

      Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
