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.

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
