The motherbox he had in his possession fused with his bitcoin mining rig that had a bunch of these:

That then attached itself to his son, creating Cyborg.

Unless they say differently, it's possible that Perry White has actually been Martian Manhunter this whole time.

It looks as bad as an Atari game from 1972, but in a reverse universe where all visual media is worse than it is here.

I want to see a flashback of Cyborgs dad making sweet love to a Alienware Desktop Computer powered by a Motherbox and it's just all the troubles he has had as a single dad raising some kind of abomination of man and machine. At the end of the film Cyborg and his father meet again then Cyborg introduces his new girlfriend, a Microsoft Surface , they hug, and Cyborg tells his dad he loves him and understands him now.

I'd guess Steppenwolf. Does sound a bit like Ciaran Hinds (the actor doing the performance capture for him), like the way he speaks I mean.

As I understand it, he didn't build a Batcave -- his old house had a library, and one of the bookshelves had a button that caused the shelf to slide away, which opened the entrance to a panic room.

So, no, not a huge dork (he's not like Nicolas Cage, horribly in debt due to gambling and building a loving pyramid tomb for himself in New Orleans). He is a raging alcoholic who can't keep it in his pants, though.

I think it's interesting to see the heroes in the DCEU show self doubt. Aquaman says he thinks they're all going to die and The Flash admits to never having fought anyone. I don't think you ever really see that in the MCU. I guess that's one of the big differences between the two.

Tony shows self doubt, a lot. The Infinity War trailer opens with Tony's "We're going to die" line from Age of Ultron. Black Widow and Hawkeye, too, in the Avengers when they realize they're the normal people heading into a world of magic and monsters and aliens. It takes a lot of pushing to get Scarlet Witch into the fight at all, and Strange is super reluctant about magic at all, and especially killing. Plus Mantis in the Guardians.

Is pretty much method acting given BvS shows Batman's place with booze, pills and a woman totally unacknowledged outside the bedroom, and Alfred snarking about Bruce depleting the family wine cellar.

�Justice League� Extensive Reshoots Causing Headaches for Star Schedules (EXCLUSIVE)

The studio, which had no comment on the scheduling trouble, is spending approximately $25 million on extensive reshoots that have dragged on for roughly two months in London and Los Angeles, according to multiple insiders. Like �The Avengers,� �Justice League� centers on a group of superheroes who band together to save the world. The ensemble nature of the comic book movie, and the fact that its cast includes several of the most in-demand actors working in Hollywood today, is creating scheduling headaches that have prolonged the shooting.

It�s standard for big Hollywood movies to schedule a few weeks of pick-up work, but the cost and time allotted to the work on �Justice League� is raising some eyebrows. Reshoots, or additional photography, to use the preferred studio nomenclature, traditionally cost between $6 million and $10 million, and rarely have to juggle so many competing schedules. They typically last a week or two.

Though stars like Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot, who play Batman and Wonder Woman, aren�t working on any other projects at the moment, enabling them to be on call for the filming, other cast members such as Ezra Miller and Henry Cavill have been scrambling to accommodate the additional photography.

Miller is reprising his �Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them� role in the film�s sequel, which started filming earlier this summer. Sources indicate that since that is also a Warner Bros. property, scheduling has been easier. The studio has gone out of its way to make him available, but his growing role in the world of wizarding series has made it difficult for him to suit up as the Flash on the same days that other co-stars are available.

Cavill�s issues are even more thorny. �Justice League�s� Man of Steel had expected to be able to finish shooting the sixth �Mission: Impossible� film before needing to don Superman�s spandex again. That has not been the case, however, as the new scenes that are being shot have required him to jump back and forth from each production. Because of this, a mustache he grew for his character in the �Mission: Impossible� sequel will have to be digitally removed in post-production. Paramount, which is distributing the �Mission: Impossible� sequel, would not allow Cavill to shave the facial hair while production was taking place.

Sources say �Justice League� reshoots have been used to punch up the dialogue. Whedon, the director of �The Avengers,� is well respected for his ability to create memorably wry exchanges between his characters. The set pieces Snyder shot are said to be usable, but Whedon has been working on �connective tissue� that was needed to link sequences.

Because management made the decision to put divisive auteurs with *big ideas* behind the camera and somehow expected them to produce easy, breezy, unchallenging mass-market products.

Then they flip out when they don't and start hacking.

So Cavill got stuck in two productions that are running long simultaneously? Eeeeeesh. Poor guy.

I'm actually a little concerned 'cause if Whedon's just wholesale rewriting tons of dialog I think we may see a situation where the tone of the dialog and the tone of the story/aesthetics start clashing badly.
