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.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
