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.

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
