If the list of Warner Bros. movie announcements planned for Comic-Con International is even half as long as Nikki Finke's sources indicate, DC Comics fans will likely leave Hall H next month very happy.

The Deadline founder launched her eponymous website today with a purported development slate that, while characterized as "in flux," certainly qualifies as ambitious:

  • May 2016 ? Batman v Superman
  • July 2016 ? Shazam
  • Xmas 2016 ? Sandman
  • May 2017 ? Justice League
  • July 2017 ? Wonder Woman
  • Xmas 2017 ? Flash and Green Lantern team-up
  • May 2018 ? Man Of Steel 2
The date for "Batman v Superman" was, of course, already known, but Finke contends its move from July 2015 to May 2016 wasn't due to the script or the availability of Ben Affleck or Jesse Eisenberg, but rather because Warner Bros. needed to negotiate multi-picture deals with the actors who will make cameos as heroes like Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Lantern and The Flash before going on to appear in "Justice League" and, in some cases, their own movies.

Aside from the number and frequency of superhero films -- three each in 2016 and 2017 -- the rumored lineup contains several surprises, not the least of which is the timing of "Justice League," which initial reports indicated was unlikely to arrive before 2018.

I wonder who they want for Shazam!

Same here! And pretty much all the other un-casted heroes. Definitely looking forward to that Green Lantern/Flash team-up as well. Always loved the dynamic/chemistry between the two.

Yeah I was surprised to not see Batman there, maybe Affleck will just appear in cameos

Hopefully not! I think they're still planning and that the Batman films will be a bit after the JL film, much like Man of Steel 2.

The others will have to come first, Batman is a sure thing, no need to rush it out compared to a WW and Flash/GL movie etc.  Also doing a new Batman after MoS2 sounds like a good plan because then you can lead that into a second JL movie.

That's for sure. And a Batman film might be too soon after The Dark Knight Rises.

Yup, look at Spideman, at least in the US each new film is doing less and less, they rebooted it way too soon IMO.

Yeah, that reboot was so soon and unexpected :/ Though I must admit that it kinda feels different for Batman to me.

Dwayne Johnson was mentioned for Shazam in April, and he wants a DC part. Black Adam and John Stewart were his first choices, but...

That's true and the reboots are a lot better than the previous 3. But I believe they did set a record for how long it took to start a reboot :p

      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.
