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.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
