So is that supposed to be Doomsday or something else? I didn't know Doomsday could shoot lasers from his eyes.

 

I was hyped for this movie, but honestly after watching that trailer the hype kind of died a little and I'm not sure why.

 

Maybe it showed too much?

Doomsday is a genetic engineering experiment gone wrong from Krypton, soooo....

I know the basics of Doomsday. The reason I ask is because I think he looks more like Darkseid would than Doomsday. And Darkseid has that fancy omega beam thing.. 

 

I don't know if they've ever said who the main baddy is supposed to be as well.

Looks awful. Seriously. Godawful. The entire movie seems spoiled, right down to Wonder Woman's entry. There's basically no suspense left.

 

And what's even worse than that is that they took the interesting premise and everything they talked about this movie being different, and turned it into another generic 'superheroes fight a monster' movie. Really disappointed.

Ugh, so in this universe Lex makes Doomsday from Zod I assume. Well, at least they keep it that Doomsday is a genetic disaster etc.

I was definitely looking forward to this movie until Lex did something to Zod.  Then all I saw was a Zack Synder meets Michael Bay movie.  What a POS this is going to be.

I have to be a hypocrite a bit right now, but one thing I didn't mind, which people seem to take apart is that it seems too cheesy. Might be a bit too much, especially with Luthor looking like he's about to share a joint with Jonah Hill or something, but I'd take that instead of ridiculous realism/forced darkness in a movie where these characters are running around in capes. It's just that it seems too generic and lazy. Seriously, a big monster? Urgh.

Clearly derived from....

 

"Superman (vol. 2) #175 commemorated the 100th issue since the death of Superman in battle with Doomsday, by staging a rematch. Doomsday's skeleton was retrieved and his flesh regrown by Lex Luthor (using Superman's Kryptonian DNA),"

Yeah, it was in the comics, I get it. Doesn't make it less lame. It appears as if the entire third act (if not even earlier, going by Man of Steel) will probably once again be mindless destruction, this time with a gigantic monster. And let me take an early guess, that in Justice League, you'll have an army of gigantic monsters. That's one thing I thought they would get right, because both this and Suicide Squad appeared to have been more about the character conflict, instead of fighting a generic villain, like every Marvel movie. Now I wouldn't put past them to include some monster fight in Suicide Squad as well.

Looks great!

 

...but... you know what instantly annoys me? There is no face paint around Bruce's eyes when the mask comes off! :pinch:

 

Watch "Batman Returns", same thing when Bruce takes the cowl off, there is no face paint.

Yeah, a big monster which in the comics killed* Superman.

 

* Until, of course, Superman was resurrected in part by the Eradicator.

But in the comics, Doomsday was essential to the story. He set off that entire plotline. I can't see him serving any other purpose in this one, other than being an excuse for seeing 30 minutes of dumb action.

      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.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
