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.

    • Laptop Processor Question

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
