[Reek]

Morning Reek, unfortunately this is the time that the BvS boards are asleep and quiet.

i have faith in you.

 

[Nemeres]

They'll never acknowledge/take responsibility, though.

Just like folks here didn't when the latest WW concept art got released, which proved his much-bashed leaked promo art pics as legit.

 

[titansupes]

^ I don't remember anyone doubting those WW shots, nor the Supes/Bats ones or the Batwing model he provided. Just his story/script "scoops".

I just don't like him as a person.

 

[TripleJ]

For me, OMACs are different because they know the weaknesses of heroes/villains and can modify their behavior to fight each Leaguer - they are a credible threat, perhaps greater than any other JL enemy.

But, that won't work directly in this film (since we are just at the beginning of the hero age - unless they want to go ahead and say, Batman* is already familiar with many heroes/villains and programs Brother accordingly).

*That is, if they want to go with Batman designing the satellite and feeding it info. They could just replace Bats with Lex.

So they're basically Sentinels?

 

[jokesonm3]

You know with all that hubbub yesterday with the OMAC theory, we gotta start some more rumors.

 

[KillerWolf]

Not really...both were pretty bad

I actually find JL: Mortal one to be worse.

Not sure about going to gotham but I'd definitely like to be on that Fairy.

*elbow nudges everybody in the thread*

Well played.

So they're basically Sentinels?

There are similarities, yes. Biggest difference being that OMACs are actual people. Still, both are great and work quite well in live action.

 

[TripleJ]

So they're basically Sentinels?

Technically, yes.

Difference is that OMACs are humans inside. So, you can't just kill them.

 

[Captain Tired]

And besides, the DOFP sentinels were mostly a bit of a letdown.

 

[KillerWolf]

Yeah, I liked one from danger room in X-Men 2 better.

Was it X-Men 2?

 

[Rogzilla]

Nope, it was X-Men 3.

You should be ashamed of liking anything in that movie. ASHAMED!!!!!!! :-P

 

[jokesonm3]

There were sentinels in the beginning of X-men 3.

 

[Last Of Krypton]

Technically, yes.

Exactly:

Just like you never acknowledge that when it comes to this movie almost all of his scoops have yet to be proven anywhere close to correct but plenty (the ones he got duped on in the fake script and his casting rumors) have been disproved.

 

[KillerWolf]

There were sentinels in the beginning of X-men 3.

Nope, it was X-Men 3.

Ah, thanks guys, it's been a while.

Even Rebecca Romijn?

 

[roach]

Spot the fairy --

t:

Unite the seven indeed

 

[Rogzilla]

Ah, thanks guys, it's been a while.



Even Rebecca Romijn?

...OK, I'll give you that. Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day. ;-)

Pros and Cons of the OMAC theory

Pros
1) Makes sense that Luthor would make something technological. I never could believe he'd clone Superman or Doomsday or Zodbie. "Hey everyone, you know that alien we all hate...I made another one."
2) Making the foes technological gives us a key to introduce Cyborg and Metallo
3) Gives a foe that even Batman would be able to do something against.
4) Gives the heroes a greater moral dilemma since they can't kill the OMAC's outright since there are people inside...would give the "Superman didn't save anyone" crowd something to shut up about.

Cons
1) AI going haywire and trying to take over the world has been the plot of two past comic book movies movies: Age of Ultron and Days of Future Past.

Would they go haywire though?

 

[John Locke]

It could just be Lex controlling the OMACs instead of an AI going haywire.

On a related note, what if Lex turns Lois into an OMAC? That's why Superman is bowing to Lex because he's the only one who can cure Lois. Then he has to stop Batman and Wonder Woman from using "lethal" force.

Ok AI villains has been the plot of two recent Comic book movies

 

[jokesonm3]

You know if Superman was the cause of me losing my legs then getting revenge on him by turning into an android wouldn't be all that bad.

 

[Last Of Krypton]

Maybe Lex is taking a leaf out of Littlefingers book:
Creating chaos for a "greater" purpose. He does the same in the graphic novel Lex Luthor: Man Of Steel.
"Chaos is a ladder".

If your theory is true it means that Lex knows who Superman is.
