I love this news which makes me sort of regret reading it despite that I don't care if I hear spoilers before seeing the movie. There's an old "character" from the original Jurassic Park movie that makes an "Unforgiven" return moment in the Jurassic World movie. If you figure out who this "character" is, it's very apropos since it's why everyone loved the first Jurassic Park movie and it's like a cherry on top of what they were attempting to do throughout the series of movies. Story wise if it turns out how it sounds, from a film criticism perspective... it's A+.

First there seems to be multiple bat suits some seem to be soft bat suits and at least one powered bat armor.
They are doing a lot of thisng to this batman that break him from Dark knight and the earlier boot. first is the ears, the ears on the cowl are shorter the cowl it's self seems to be back to molded rubber like in the Micheal Keaton era. The biggest is the color almost al the film batsuts since Keaton are even batman begins is black. Aflecks looks to grey two tone. with a texture this could be a spandex derivative which would have some logic to it.
Previous batman film incarnations since the 1980's used a Rubber suit to approximate some form of body armor however even earlier incarnations dating to the origins of batman used fabric. and often in the comics it's hard to tell.
Using a fabric base can make some sense if the Batman is looking for flexibility. and in the Animated films that have been made it is the chosen approach. To gate the reasons lets take a example form another franchise and a fan film at that. In the Power/Rangers fan film the black Ranger fight is a good example of rubber suit issues. The Thick suit slowed the stuntman in the black ranger suit necessitaing a visible speed up post filming now compare to fights in the TV show who wear light weight Spandex Unitards there stunt people have a massive range of moment.
The Live action Batman films from the Keaton Era til this one have used Rubber suits to approximate armor this occasionally has resulted visible post production speed up of the film and rather limited movements for the actors. But the Armor Approach makes sense as Bats is living in a modern world with guns, knives and the occasional blunt object.

This film's take on Bruce is said to be more of a brawler batman who would therefore favor flexibility over protection.

Jurassic World.
A post now indicates that Lost World and JP3 are not included in the JW boot this is a direct follow on of Jurassic park. meaning that if they wanted to throw in a Spinosaur it would be the corrected Spino not the hyper spino. as to the returning star I think the Scars she bares from the Raptors should tell you who she is.

You guys are going to love this! :D
(Especially you TerrainEmpire)

I was trawling the internet as usual and came across this (actually I was looking for J-11D on youtube and found this on the suggestion):

WOLF WARRIOR (2015)

Synopsis:
"A Chinese special force soldier with extraordinary marksmanship is confronted by a group of deadly foreign mercenaries who are hired to assassinate him by a vicious drug lord."

With laughably bad plot, chaotic direciton, featuring lots of modern chinese weapons, lots of explosions, more martial art fights than you can throw a stick at, extremely jingonistic, it just can't get better than this! :D It is like 1980s all over again, except the bad guys are americans (and some chinese).

It even featured full scale model of WZ-10 (at least I think that's a model... or it could be the real thing that PLA was collaborating with film producer..)

Supposedly this is one of the highest grossing film in China this year - it has made $78 million so far.

I saw Avengers 2. Ultron and his army of robots was sort of a repeat of the Chitauri invasion but I sort of liked this one better. For aliens with so much advanced technology, Chitauri are easy to kill. You can believe this army of robots are really cannon fodder. Hulkbuster versus Hulk was probably the best battle scene. I'll have to watch the first Avengers again to declare which one was really better. The first one had a lot of setup. This one was action from the start. If you've watched Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Agent Carter on TV, both had story elements that played into this movie.

Sounds like more of the same to me. How was it tonally?

I just watched After Earth on cable and I liked it a lot. I don't know why critics and some people hates it? I like how Will Smith character plays and relays his son on survival using military skills.

It was basically the same tone and humor. Hawkeye gets character development said to be because his character was mostly in mind control in the last movie. They played on Hawkeye just being good with a bow. There were some fun moments. If you've seen the clip on the internet of all the Avengers trying to wield Thor's hammer to see if they were "worthy" actually plays an important setup to a moment later down the movie which was pleasantly surprising and funny.

Haven't seen the film, but from what I've gathered both Will and Jayden lacked charisma in this film. A lot of people were also hating on his son because they thought that nepotism was involved. Top that with M. Knight Shyamalan's involvement...
