Joker fans can't keep calm as Jared Leto shares fan favourite dialogue as ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League' trailer debuts

<p>The trailer of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' is finally out and it introduces new characters which were not part of the original 2018 release. It is everything that Whedon's version was not. The battles are of epic proportions and it even has some popular DC villains along with the superheroes.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
After weeks of teasing the audience with glimpses of his film, Snyder unveiled the full trailer of the film on Sunday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The four-hour-long expanded version of 'Justice League' will premiere on HBO MAX &nbsp;on March 18.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The video gives a glimpse of an epic battle between Superman and villain Darkseid played by Ray Porter. Porter's character was part of the first cut of the film but ultimately dropped from the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The trailer also gives a glimpse of DC's other supervillain The Joker (Jared Leto) who can be seen talking to Ben Affleck's Batman. "We live in a society where honour is a distant memory," The Joker says while staring at a foggy skyline. "Isn't that right, Batman?"<br />
<br />
Snyder cut comes after year-long campaigning to get Warner Bros to release this version of the<strong> film. Zack Snyder</strong> was the original director of 'Justice League' but walked out in 2017 due to creative differences with the studio and to deal with a family tragedy.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Warner Bros had eventually roped in Joss Whedon, who reshot major portion and changed the script of the film. Whedon's version of 'Justice League' failed to create any impact at the Box Office. Whedon was also accused by actor Ray Fisher of being abusive and unprofessional on the sets of the film.&nbsp;<br />
By 2018, Snyder's fans began a campaign urging the studio to release Snyder's version of the movie. Their plea was backed by actors Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa along with Snyder himself.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In <strong>May 2020, Snyder announced </strong>in a live stream that his version of Justice League would premiere in 2021 on HBO Max – after WarnerMedia spent tens of millions on new visual effects and additional photography. Snyder made clear that none of the material shot by Whedon will appear in his version.</p>

<p>The sequel of DC's sleeper hit 'Shazam' won't see&nbsp; Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman.<br />
<br />
Despite multiple rampant rumours suggesting otherwise, the upcoming 'Shazam: Fury of the Gods'&nbsp;will not feature one of the most powerful superheroes from the DCverse.<br />
<br />
Two sources with direct knowledge of the production and Cavill`s schedule confirmed to Variety that Henry Cavill will not appear as Superman in the upcoming DC Film `Shazam: Fury of the Gods`.The film will be a sequel to the hit 2019 film `Shazam!` which was a critical success and held its own at the box office, raising speculation about what the sequel may hold.</p>

<p>The first film opened to strong reviews and great word-of-mouth en route to a $366 million global take. 'Shazam!'&nbsp;takes place in the larger cinematic universe established by 2013’s 'Man of Steel,'&nbsp;and references Superman throughout.<br />
<br />
In the final minutes, Shazam even convinces Superman to come to Billy’s high school to show up a couple of bullies who were making life hard for Billy’s best friend, Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer). In the scene, Superman steps into the frame but is only seen from the neck down. He’s played by stunt performer Ryan Handley.</p>

<p>While attempting to address the recent rumours of Cavill’s appearance in the sequel, director David F. Sandberg even noted that at one point, Cavill was supposed to appear in&nbsp;2019’s 'Shazam!'</p>

<p>“Halfway through shooting ‘Shazam,’ the plan was still for Cavill to be in it,” Sandberg tweeted on Friday. It’s also why Sandberg says he isn’t commenting on the casting rumors about Cavill: “You can’t be sure about anything until it’s happened.”<br />

A group of masked men raise their voices to make themselves understood as they play cards out on the street in San Fiorano, close to a chemist. Taking precautions against coronavirus has become second nature in this small town closed off to the outside world, but the men simply can't stay behind closed doors anymore.

<p>If Michael B Jordan has his way, then we might just get to see the first coloured Superman soon! The American actor has reportedly pitched an idea for a new take on `Superman` to Warner Bros.<br />

This year, the 32-year-old star`s production company, `Outlier Society,` signed a first-look deal with Warner Bros. in January, so it`s not all too shocking that the star would make the move from Marvel to DC. Jordan has featured in a prominent role in Marvel's smash hit 'Black Panther'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While Jordan did pitch his own take on the beloved caped superhero, the film--if it were to be greenlit--would reportedly not hit the theatres before 2023. If the film does happen, Jordan will be the first non-white actor to play the superhero.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
This is because Jordan is busy with the list of upcoming projects as well as Warner Bros.` Despite reports of a reboot, there is no script or director attached to Jordan`s pitch.&nbsp;</p>

In an era when superheroes seem to be everywhere, there were literally dozens in the most recent "Avengers" film -- the Man of Steel stands apart.

In an era when superheroes seem to be everywhere -- there were literally dozens in the most recent "Avengers" film -- the Man of Steel stands apart. Eighty years after his debut in Action Comics #1, dated June 1938, Superman is still an American cultural icon, the hero of reference and the undisputed star of DC Comics. And today, the comic book publisher -- also known for Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern, among others -- is counting on Superman more than ever. "He is the mould people worked with, the template for the idea of a superhero," explains Jared Smith, who works in a comic book store in Washington. "Superman is a very idealized character. They call him the Boy Scout of America. He always does the right thing and tries do to the good thing." In Action Comics #1, 13 pages were dedicated to the story of Kal-El, an alien from the planet Krypton with supernatural strength, sent to Earth by his father before his home planet was destroyed. Superman's debut was a smash success. A year later, DC Comics gave the Man of Steel his own book and introduced another formidable hero: Batman. Eighty years on, the formula has not changed: Superman has more or less always appeared in his red, blue and yellow suit with the "S" symbol on the chest. In his appearances on the silver and small screen, in comic strips and video games, he has fought for truth, justice and the "American Way." In Illinois, the town of Metropolis -- which shares a name with Superman's fictional home -- organizes an annual festival celebrating the hero. This summer, on the heels of a "Man of Steel" mini-series, DC Comics will reboot the standalone "Superman" series. For the challenge, they tapped Brian Michael Bendis, a legend in the genre who worked for two decades at rival publisher Marvel. "You always feel the legacy of the character when you hop on, and I've had that joy a couple of times, but there's something different about Superman," Bendis said in an interview with pop culture website Nerdist. "I think there's something fascinating about the fact that not only did this character invent the genre but it stayed true and became the core, soul, and centre of the genre for the entirety of its existence." Superman is an immigrant on Earth, raised by a farmer and his wife from infancy in fictional Smallville. Eventually, he takes the name Clark Kent, moves to Metropolis and becomes a journalist. His two creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, were Jewish high school students when they first came up with the idea for Superman. Their parents were immigrants, and their character personified the American dream -- a metaphor for immigrants who fled Europe in the 1930s for the peace and prosperity of America. It's a theme that Bendis plans to pick up. "People would come from all over the world just to live in Metropolis, to be watched over by the most famous immigrant," Bendis told The Washington Post. "It's not going to be this huge message, it's just going to be there -- just flavour, the way we see the world." From time to time in the past, Superman's popularity waned -- his chiselled perfection was sometimes too much for an imperfect audience, who turned to Spider-Man and the X-Men, whose flaws they could identify with more readily. "They made him so powerful as a character that there was nothing that could really threaten him, so after that, they introduced the idea of Kryptonite from his planet that could take away some of his powers," Smith explains. To keep Superman in step with society, writers tried to keep him in sync with political and societal changes of the times -- in 1978, he met boxing legend Muhammad Ali, who took him to the ghettos of Metropolis. More recently, Superman wanted to surrender his American nationality in protest at the government, which he felt had betrayed him. In another storyline, he saved migrant workers from a white supremacist, a nod to far-right violence seen in some corners of the country. Smith even recalls that the Man of Steel had something of a "socialist start," fighting capitalists "who were taking too much money or not treating their workers well" in the 1930s and 1940s. As ever, he fights for the American Way, whatever the definition.

'Superman' actress Margot Kidder dies aged 69

<p>Hong Kong&#39;s richest man Li Ka-shing announced Friday he was stepping down as chairman of his flagship company CK Hutchison, marking the end of an era for one of the world&#39;s most storied tycoons.</p>

<p>Li, a wartime refugee, got his start in 1950 making plastic flowers and over the years built a sprawling conglomerate that has become part of the fabric of Hong Kong life, ranging from internet services to supermarket chains.</p>

<p>Smiling occasionally as he spoke with reporters on Friday, Li said he was &quot;happy and honoured&quot; for the opportunities he has had, bowing as he thanked others for their support.</p>

<p>&quot;Looking back all these years, it&#39;s my honour to have founded Cheung Kong and to have served society,&quot; he told the packed room, referring to his company&#39;s original name.</p>

<p>Nicknamed &quot;Superman&quot;, Li&#39;s decisions set market trends, with the potential to affect property and utility prices for the city&#39;s seven million residents.</p>

<p>The billionaire, who turns 90 in July, said he would step down on May 10 at the company&#39;s annual general meeting, ending mounting speculation about his retirement.</p>

<p>He added he would serve as the company&#39;s &quot;senior advisor&quot; and will hand over the reins to his eldest son Victor.</p>

<p>Li never gave a straight answer when asked about retirement at previous press conferences, but a sweeping revamp of his vast empire in 2015 was seen as a sign that he was paving the way for Victor to take over.</p>

<p><strong>&#39;Vote for Xi&#39;</strong><br />
Li did not shy away from controversial topics at Friday&#39;s press conference, taking questions on China&#39;s historic constitutional amendment earlier this month to give President Xi Jinping a mandate to rule for life.</p>

<p>&quot;If I had the right to vote, I would vote for him,&quot; Li said, adding China&#39;s anti-graft campaign has been effective in recent years.</p>

<p>He also voiced concern over housing conditions in Hong Kong, where property prices are among the world&#39;s most expensive, forcing some small businesses to close due to sky-high costs while many residents cannot afford to buy or rent decent homes.</p>

<p>The wealth gap last year was at its widest for nearly 50 years, fuelling discontent as the former British colony marked two decades under Chinese rule.</p>

<p>&quot;Our property prices have broken off with ordinary people&#39;s incomes. We especially need more public housing so that, for the general public, their living situation won&#39;t become their biggest difficulty,&quot; the mogul said.</p>

<p>The Center, a landmark Hong Kong skyscraper owned by Li&#39;s CK Asset, sold for a record price of more than $5 billion last year, indicating the city&#39;s booming property sector was not cooling down.</p>

<p>Li&#39;s flagship CK Hutchison controls diverse assets in over 50 countries, and has recently counted Europe as a significant income source.</p>

<p>His Cheung Kong Infrastructure company operates development, investment and infrastructure businesses in mainland China, Britain, Canada and other countries.</p>

<p>Local legend has it that Li can even control the weather -- ensuring typhoons do not hit Hong Kong during the working day.</p>

<p>Practically speaking, Li&#39;s career concluded on a high note as his companies including CK Hutchison and CK Asset reported higher full-year profits in results released Friday.</p>


The billionaire earned the nickname 'Superman' for his business acumen and was so influential in Hong Kong that islanders joked he could prevent typhoons from hitting on working days

He also voiced concern over housing conditions in Hong Kong, where property prices are among the world's most expensive, forcing some small businesses to close due to sky-high costs while many residents cannot afford to buy or rent decent homes. The wealth gap last year was at its widest for nearly 50 years, fuelling discontent as the former British colony marked two decades under Chinese rule. "Our property prices have broken off with ordinary people's incomes. We especially need more public housing so that, for the general public, their living situation won't become their biggest difficulty," the mogul said. The Center, a landmark Hong Kong skyscraper owned by Li's CK Asset, sold for a record price of more than $5 billion last year, indicating the city's booming property sector was not cooling down. Li's flagship CK Hutchison controls diverse assets in over 50 countries, and has recently counted Europe as a significant income source. His Cheung Kong Infrastructure company operates development, investment and infrastructure businesses in mainland China, Britain, Canada and other countries. Local legend has it that Li can even control the weather -- ensuring typhoons do not hit Hong Kong during the working day. Practically speaking, Li's career concluded on a high note as his companies including CK Hutchison and CK Asset reported higher full-year profits in results released Friday.

<p>Actress Noel Neill, who played Lois Lane, the intrepid reporter on the &quot;Adventures of Superman&quot; television series who never quite figured out her Daily Planet colleague Clark Kent was The Man of Steel, has died at the age of 95, a friend said on Monday.<br />
<br />
Neill died on Sunday at her home in Tucson, Arizona, after a long illness, Jim Nolt, the owner of &quot;The Adventures Continue&quot; website dedicated to the 1950s TV show, said in a statement.<br />
<br />
Neill was born on November 25, 1920, in Minneapolis, where her father was a journalist at the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Shortly after high school she traveled to California and found a job as a singer at a restaurant at the Del Mar racetrack. Her connections at the track led to a contract with the Paramount movie studio.<br />
<br />
She had a series of small film roles, many of them uncredited, in the 1940s. There was no substantial work until 1948, when Columbia Pictures borrowed Neill to make 15 episodes of a comic book-based movie serial about a man from another planet who discovers he has super-human strength and is impervious to bullets.<br />
<br />
Kirk Alyn was cast as the star of &quot;Superman&quot; and the petite red-headed, blue-eyed Neill was Lois Lane, his friend and co-worker at the Daily Planet.<br />
<br />
They reprised their roles in another serial, &quot;Superman and the Mole Men,&quot; but neither was cast when &quot;Adventures of Superman&quot; was adapted for television.<br />
<br />
When the original TV Lois Lane, Phyllis Coates, left the show after one season, Neill stepped back into the role that would define her career and make her part of one of American television&#39;s most enduring series.<br />
<br />
The show hit the air just as television was becoming a social force in the United States and became a favorite of generations of children, with a long life through reruns.<br />
<br />
The TV Superman, as played by George Reeves, was faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive in his blue tights and red cape as he fought a never-ending battle for &quot;truth, justice and the American way.&quot;<br />
<br />
But he was just a mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper when he put on his suit and thick-framed glasses as his alter ego, Clark Kent, to work with Lois and cub reporter Jimmy Olsen.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Always in peril</strong><br />
<br />
Lois Lane was quite competent but her quests to uncover big stories for the Daily Planet always landed her in formulaic peril. It was up to Superman to shed his Clark Kent identity, often in a phone booth, and then swoop in late in the show and rescue her from a variety of evil-doers.<br />
<br />
Along the way, Lane developed a crush on Superman - even dreaming in one episode that they were to be married - but she was oddly cool toward Kent. Lane never noticed that when Kent would disappear, Superman would appear suddenly to save her and that the two men were never seen together.<br />
<br />
Neill said she was often asked why Lane never caught on to Kent&#39;s secret identity, and would respond, &quot;I didn&#39;t want to lose my job.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;Adventures of Superman&quot; went off the air in 1958. Plans for a new season ended in 1959 with the gunshot death of Reeves, which was ruled a suicide. With that, Neill ended her career.<br />
<br />
&quot;I just figured I&#39;d worked enough,&quot; she told the New York Times in 2006. &quot;I didn&#39;t have any great ambition. Basically, I&#39;m a beach bum. I was married, we lived near the beach. That was enough for me.&quot;<br />
<br />
When the Superman franchise was revived in 1978 as a big-budget movie with Christopher Reeve in the starring role, Neill made a cameo appearance as Lane&#39;s mother.<br />
<br />
In 2006, she had a quickie role in &quot;Superman Returns,&quot; as did Jack Larson, who had played Jimmy Olsen in the TV series. They both appeared in a 1991 episode of the &quot;Superboy&quot; show, and Larson died last September at 87.<br />
<br />
Neill also served as the model for the statue of Lois Lane, poised with pen and notepad, that was unveiled in 2010 in Metropolis, Illinois, which promotes itself as Superman&#39;s hometown.<br />
