Anyone read this speculation about The Joker? It's certainly a wild theory, but pretty interesting none the less:

(potential spoilers I guess)

I doubt he'll be Tim Drake since that occurred after Terry McGuiness took over as Batman and Barbara Gordon took over as Police Commissioner. Jason Todd being killed by Joker would account for his even darker persona so that'll likely stay intact. 

Bottom line: I don't think they want to go down the Jason Lane-White 'let's make crap up' path again.

They should have all the next movies planned out roughly, I think that's the best way to do it instead of doing one and then trying to figure tie the next one into the one before it somehow and so on.   The best thing would be if this movie drops hints, like the trailer does in a way, to past events that tie into the next stand alone batman, WW, flash or superman movie, etc.   Instead of doing what Marvel does with sticking little teasers in the post credits hinting at the next movie.  Both ways work but I think the former is better instead of the post-credit teaser that many people expect to see now.

yeah, but they can't stop doing something marvel already does, eg they set the bar(in comic movies anyway), so DC has do after credits as well

If they feel that way then fine, but I mean, look at MoS, it had hints about Bruce Wayne in it and of course LexCorp logos were scene, all pretty much hinting at what we're getting now with BvS, no need for a post credits scene.

Actually, I'd make the argument that Batman 89 set the standard for comic book movies really working and Batman Begins set the standard for the modern comic book movie.  Sure, Marvel got the gang together first, but I wouldn't say that they set any bars, especially considering how they tease other movies.. there's a million ways one could do that.

Marvel definitely set the bar in terms of a cohesive cinematic universe but DC has the potential for something even better. Why? It's simple. They have the rights to every single DC character. Marvel doesn't have the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Deadpool, Silver Surfer, and Namor.

 .. has nobody noticed that the neck thing makes Affleck look like he has special needs. Makes him look even shorter than he is...

 

"Than he is"? Affleck is 6' 4" (1.93 meters), 2" (~5 cm) taller than the comics Batman. Hardly a shortie, and he's bulked up big time for this role. Needs little padding.

For the record:  Superman is 6' 3" (1.91 meters) in the comics, but Henry Cavill is only 6' 1" (1.85 meters).

This means the director and cinematographer have to use techniques like platforms, forced perspective and shoe lifts to make Cavill appear as tall or taller than Affleck. The pic shown is an example of forced perspective combined with using an extra-long cape to make Superman look significantly taller.

I think if they're going through all the trouble of having him be his Son that we're not going to see older Lex, he's probably dead from the sounds of it.  And personally I don't mind, nothing wrong with moving on, and the original Lex character has been done to death in the other movies, I'm all for something fresh.

I'd still like to see a true to form Lex Luther up on the big screen at some point.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
