Please read the source material. Cyborg can freely adjust the size of his armor.

Justice League: War had Cyborg as an extreme form of a technopath, his body would actively assimilate nearby technology and rearranged itself to better facilitate combat. During the course of the film he went from a hard shelled golem to a Body Horror cyborg with spiky black armor into the classic sleek silver version at the end. It's quite different from the human-made version a lot of people are familiar with, as that one is more like a Robocop cyborg where he needs to plug in to recharge and upgrades are done manually.

Yeah, that's what I'm referring too.

I actually miss Victor's cybernentics being his father's creation.

Well, I think in this case it works to the advantage of the character that his technology is not strictly human-based. Including the Mother Box as a Black Box in his design fixes the problem of why the technology isn't being passed around to all amputees.

Vic wasn't the only cyborg in the old continuity. And if this technology can be bonded to a human already that question still remains.

The costumes are bogus.

[up][up] And he just released a movie with Jenna Malone.

Coincidental.

That would either be a stroke of sheer genius, or a complete disaster. Apparently he met wit WB about the WW movie as well, but insisted on Christina Hendricks for the role.

[up][up][up]Nope. Dated and no longer being used, perhaps, but they're all from the special features on the DVD.

If the DCEU's done one thing great so far, it's been casting, Eisenberg notwithstanding (and I'll preface that I actually liked Eisenberg's Luthor).

So far the only issue I've had is Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, and that's more been an issue of the script that his actual performance (I consider his brief cameo in Bv S to be a much-needed improvement over Mo S because of that).

I actually think that Costner is a near-perfect choice for Jonathan Kent. The one just screams "all-American blue collar guy" more so than almost any other big name actor. Heck Field of Dreams could have been his Jonathan Ken audition tape. And his performance is actually quite good I think.

But yeah, the writing lets him down.

Both he and Lex could've been good with better writing. Not the actors' faults.

I love Momoa. He's a cutie.

he was very excited to be aquaman iirc. i think it'll probably end up an at least fun movie, if nothing else.

[up]Yeah, I think it's face to say the role's in good hands. smile

I'm still surprised they're using actual water, since I've heard filming in water is a nightmare for filmmakers.

It depends on what you need filmed. More complex stuff would likely just be done on a green screen, but you can still do insert shots underwater.

[up]So fully underwater shots would be GCI but they will still film scenes with real water when he enters and exits the water.

It's more the open ocean or even a lake that's the real hassle. A controlled set is a controlled set. If you're going to have a character like Aquaman, there is no substitute for real water. It's likely Atlantis will be a domed underwater city for practical reasons.

If for no other reason than that pesky "How are they talking underwater" problem.

So based on conversation in the Bv S thread:

Idris Elba. Bryan Cranston. Good roles. Go.
