Ok, FINALLY got to see the freakin' movie with the wife. Here are my thoughts... and it's LONG. Just a heads up.

 

First off, to hell with the haters. I loved it. It had several issues, and I'm going into them, but overall I really liked it. The issues with the movie, where the script was concerned, fit the Universe they are building. The other issues... directing/editing, etc, well... there's no good excuse for those, so no hating on pointing those out; that kind of stuff can ruin a movie experience for anyone. I'm just saying don't let it stop you from watching the movie.

 

Affleck was awesome. Seriously, that guy buffed out just right for Batman. And part of his personality worked so well because of Jeremy Irons as Alfred. I loved, loved, loved that they made it obvious Alfred is integral to Batman's success. He's not just the guy that helps out behind the scenes, he's an active participant that would have meant failure for Batman if he hadn't been there from the beginning. They are a team in every sense of the word. And yea... the fight scenes that Batman has are freakin' cool. Loved it.

 

One of the "issues" people have is that in this Universe, Batman kills people. And I mean like, no kidding... kills people. I think people are missing the scene where we see Robin's uniform on display with The Joker's message: ha ha ha. In the comics, The Joker kills Robin and continues to mock Batman over it. Basically saying, because you have this code against killing the bad guy, Robin ended up dead, paying for your weakness. I can definitely see that being the point where Batman decides, yea... sometimes you just have to put the rabid dog down. I mean, Batman is already insane: he dresses up like a giant bat and gives bad guys bruises and nightmares. And then there's the short speech Alfred gives him about how everything has changed; Batman used to dispense justice, but now he's become cruel. No doubt talking about not just the "branding" of criminals, but killing as well. So yea, I think it fits the narrative of the Universe they're creating.

 

I think they did an excellent job of pointing out why Batman felt the need to take on Superman. They did not have to retell his Origin story. That broke up the flow of the movie, so I completely get the hate with that. The whole movie felt... jumbled. I agree they tried to tell too many different stories at once, but Batman's origin wasn't just them throwing in another storyline, it was rehashing what didn't need to be rehashed. We didn't get the other characters' origin stories in this, so his felt... forced. And again, it was distracting for absolutely no good reason.

 

But man, that opening. Seeing the events from Man of Steel through his eyes, you can relate to his concern over what Superman is, and what he's capable of. I did NOT like that the point he made to Superman after kicking his ass in the comic book didn't play out in the movie. In the comic, Batman makes a point of saying, "Look, now you know you're not invincible. If you ever get out of line, there's a least one person who can take you out... because I just did. And I'm the guy who will end you if necessary."

 

Superman was just ok. I like Henry Cavill in the part, both as Clark and Superman, but I'm still not happy with the direction they've taken the character mentally. I get that they're trying to show his struggle with staying upbeat and positive in a very cynical and cruel world (he even has a line about staying the good guy in this world)... but man, I really don't like Emo Superman at all. In the comics, he goes after Batman because he's ordered to-- after all, it's his job to hunt down criminals, especially extraordinary ones. In this... well, you saw it. It was just... meh.

 

But the fight itself? Loved it. Especially when the Kryptonite first wears off... that was a good look he gave Batman while getting punched. It was pretty much straight from the comic, and again I was really looking forward to that. Batman creates the suit, gets his gadgets ready, and it's a straight-up brawl. The end of the fight, though. Meh. I really, really wanted that line from the comic. Instead we got, "Our moms have the same name." I mean.... meh. I was expecting Batman to raise the spear and be like, "I know your weakness. I own your weakness. THIS is mercy." And then just walking away. Something like that.

 

But, yea... moving on.

 

And those dream sequences... were they necessary at all? I don't think so. They were just another distraction the movie really didn't need. They were another reason the movie, in general, felt jumbled and why I think people didn't enjoy it. It kept taking you away from the main plot, which people went into thinking was the final showdown between Batman and Superman. I mean, that's the title of the damn movie. So I get it. But while I understand why others didn't like it for that reason, I still really liked this movie.

 

Next up is Wonder Woman. I didn't like her interaction with Batman at the start. It felt like... we're going to throw her into this scenario JUST to show her to you as her alter ego. Meh. But when she shows up as Wonder Woman, I love that they played up how much she loves battle. She wasn't taking it near as seriously as Superman or Batman. For her, it was also fun. And she kicked ass. And she had her lasso. Yea, I liked Wonder Woman just fine. Looking forward to her movie.

 

Lex... good god, could he have been any further from the comics? The actor is great. I have no doubt he gave them exactly what they asked for, so no hate for him. But whomever wrote his character should be shot. Is he a criminal, or just an insane billionaire? I mean... he felt more Joker than Lex Luthor with the whole "insane" line from Lois, or just his portrayal of crazy. Of all the characters, I disliked how Lex was portrayed the most; even more than Emo Superman. And creating Doomsday? Really? Meh.

 

The cameos were good. Just enough to make you go, "Who is that, exactly?" Like, you know who Aquaman is, or the Flash, and maybe you know Cyborg, but the movie gives you nothing else so when their movies comes out, maybe you'll actually go see them to find out. And going with the Universe they created, it makes sense that they're a mystery to the audience like they are to Batman. Which would also allow them to add something else from the comics: Batman's dossier on every metahuman he encounters, where he outlines the perfect tactics, weapons, etc to take them out if necessary. I think there was an animated Justice League movie that showed the Justice League members finding out Batman had created that dossier, and he tells them exactly why he did it: if you get out of line, I'm the guy that's coming for you; and I'll succeed.

 

That pretty much covers it. There are some character issues, but that's just the writing team playing with new ideas. I don't like them all (especially Lex), but I'll run with it to see where it leads. I still have hope that Superman will find his, and maybe grouping with the Justice League will return Batman to his "no killing" code. But, we'll see. And I'm anxious to see, which is the point of why I really liked this movie. It did a great job of setting things up for change once the Justice League is formed. There is plenty of character development still available for them to pursue if they don't drop the ball.

 

One last point of note:
Was anyone else expecting Perry White to bring Clark into the office and saying something like, "I've been a journalist for 40 years. I pay attention to detail. Do you really think I can't see past the stupid glasses when I'm posting pictures of Superman on the front page of MY newspaper? Go ahead and keep saving the world, just make sure I have my sports piece by close of business. Now get out of my office."

Well I'm certainly awaiting his transformation into the Superman we all know and love as well. But with the world being set up the way it is, and the basic dynamics of the whole thing - I just don't see Superman ever becoming one we are all happy with. I mean, yeah I'm sure because of the backlash this go round that the JL movies will be lighter in tone (god I hope so) and Superman and Batman etc will obviously be more friends than anything. Which is great, since they don't have to spend 2 hours explaining why Batman hates Superman again :D

 

And don't get me wrong, I love the angle they are going with - that this is an untested Superman who is brand new to the game etc. But they are also dropping hints as to where they may go story wise (and if they do go there, I'm done with this universe real quick) and let's just say uh, no thanks Synder I have video games for that :)

Hmm. Maybe these are actually the Justice Lord versions as in the Justice League cartoon, and later on we'll see the actual heroic Justice League, drawn from the DC TV/movie multiverse - Brandon Routh as both Superman and Atom, Christian Bale as Batman (or even Kevin Conroy of the DC Animated Universe - he looks the part in real life!), Steven Amell as Green Arrow, Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern etc.  Of course, the last one would require prying Ryan out of the Deadpool costume . . .

 

Maybe Helen Slater as "Superwoman".

 

And Grant Gustin and John Wesley Shipp as their two different versions of Barry Allen. Because you can never have too much Flash. (Unless preceded by the word "Adobe".)

 

Too bad this would be impossibly expensive.

I really doubt they're going to do injustice, the hints in the movie about that, the batman nightmares and flash cameo are part of a alternate future that has already changed because of the events in BvS.

 

Rumors are that JL part 1 could have the surface world vs atlantis, further expanding the world and as setup for the aquaman and flash movies that are set to follow it, then we get darkseid in jl part 2.

Reign of the Supermen maybe? There were certainly enough people injured in the MoS ending battle that a Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman equivalent could be found easily. A Superboy clone could have been a project in place already, Steel could be readily done - just have John Irons' tech what Batman based his anti-Superman suit on. And the Eradicator could be the Kryptonian ship's attempt at a clone. Leaving the real Superman to come sort out the mess in the final act.

 

Yes, I know that's way too complicated for a film plot, but if I'm gonna speculate, I'm going LARGE! :woot:

I think JL part 1 starts filming this week, we'll know more as time goes on, at this point i'm fine with them using the first part to introduce atlantis and a setup to the aquaman movie that comes up next.

 

Hell it's exciting to see batman in the suicide squad movie since it looks like his part is going to be bigger than people expected.

I enjoyed this more than I expected, or rather it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. They crammed way to much into the movie. And Snyder's overall direction is still something I don't like. I found some of the action was quite difficult to actually see due the rapid shot changes & high contrast look of the movie.

 

I did like Affleck as Batman & Irons as Alfred. Though I did not like Eisenberg's performance at all. Bizarre casting choice and even more bizarre take on the character.

Plus, Batman and Robin make a great drinking game movie. There is a category of bad films that are so bad, they're actually good fun to watch. Ice-related puns FTW :laugh:

Bruce is raging because of the feeling of being powerless to do anything when MoS was going down, and fear of failing that's turned to rage.  Again that line in the movie is key, more people should've picked up on it.

Yup. I had no problem at all seeing that, it was pretty damned obvious really.  I was more surprised by the sudden about face actually and felt it was a bit rushed.

I don't think he's emotionless though,  he's seen as conflicted about his role in the world,  we also see him rage and get angry.  We also see him come to terms with what he had to do to stop doomsday.  I like this superman because he's not the perfect version we're used to,  at least not yet,  I think we'll get there though.  Remember he's just started out,  it's been 18 months since he started being superman,  he'll get there in my opinion. 

I always hated the big blue boyscout. "Flawless" superheroes are as boring as hell, which is probably why Spider-man was always my favourite.  A flawed Supe's who wrestles with his actions and isn't utterly invulnerable to everything? Much more interesting to me.

Not only that but it gives us room to see him grow as a hero, i think by the end of JL1 we'll see him even better at the hero gig.

Small update, with all the hate around this movie, I find it funny that websites still haven't stopped talking about it.   Money wise, looks to be at $319 million in the US, sure for two big names as this in one movie it should've been double, but hey, WB is fine about it since it's not a flop,  as it stands it's done better than most Marvel films,  and sits at $850 million worldwide.   It won't hit $1billion, hell, Suicide Squad has a good chance of making more, but regardless, as the second movie in the DCEU, it's done good for WB.

I still think the R version may get a limited theatrical release, with this scene as one of the hooks

 

 

  Hide contents

 

 

and perhaps more of Lois in the tub ;)

 

I have to wonder, would they or are they fine with the $850-$860million it'll probably end up with world wide?  I mean, if you show the R version here why bother with the BD version later?   I think what they should do, is have a limited viewing for some critics and see what they say with the extra 30min version.     At this point it's all about, do you go for that extra kick and aim for $1billion WW, and give up on lower BD sales?  Or just hold off and make up what you will on BD/Streaming sales because I know I'm for sure looking forward to the directors R-rated cut.

I'd look at the short run & its promos as ads for the R rated BR version. Not everyone reads the websites where it's being discussed. 

Tough call, Cap 3 is almost here and it's got solid reviews so I don't know if WB will risk it.

The rumors are true. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is heading back to select theaters around the U.S. in Ultimate Edition form.

 

The 151 minute extended cut is currently scheduled to play at a dozen U.S. theaters, a pair of which are in the Los Angeles area but it will also be popping up in Austin, Chicago, Columbus, Houston, Phoenix, and New York.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.
