I welled up. 

I gotta admit, I near teared up at the theme... What an amazing tribute to both John Williams and Christopher Reeves. Gunn really respects what came before. :D 

I'm sure it will be a good movie, I'm not engaging with David Corenswet as Superman/Clark, I dont know what it is but people seem really hyped for the movie so I'll reserve judgement.

And yeah, to jump on the Krypto bandwagon, he looked cool! I did like this on Twitter - Zack Snyder's Krypto:

Until we see some extended scenes of him as Clark and as Superman, it's going to be hard to figure out if he's it.  Certainly no reason for judgement at this point.... I would argue that he seems promising, and I like that he tries to look different as Clark vs Superman, rather than simply just wearing glasses.  

 

Also: LOL to that image

He's already better than what the previous movies did with HC, at least now Superman and Clack look different enough that it's not slapping you in the face.  All they did before was put glasses on Henry and call it a day.  At least Gunn is changing up Corensweats look more with a different hairstyle and probably personality, more like what we got in the original with Reeves.

Solid trailer, I don't need to see another.  I just wish I could have the time to see it on the big screen, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it out do to work.

Pulling off the heroic feat of fleshing out a dynamic new world while putting its champion's big, beating heart front and center, this Superman flies high as a Man of Tomorrow grounded in the here and now.

whats this crap, looks ai generated and what is the point of the fake video tape effect 

On the other hand, the robots are practical effects - physical  humanoid robotics with character shells, the main CGI being their legs when they're moving fast. Alan Tudyk voices #4.

Just got my IMAX with Laser 3d tickets! After looking at all the times for tomorrow and this weekend, Almost all showings are at least 75% full for my area.

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
