I feel that Something's In The Way by Nirvana has set the tone for the film. Dark, grungey noir. I think the next trailer will showcase a more fleshed out and complex plot with an even more heightened sense of brutality and bleakness. I think we will see more of the Riddler with dialogue, with slightly more detail into his nasty deeds, perhaps another clip with the faceprint gang, the Penguin's crew and Batman grappling with his own problems as he stands amidst the chaos. So I'm getting the idea that we will absorb just how brutal and terrifying Gotham City really is.
To reflect that kind of atmosphere and in keeping with music by heavier alternative rock groups/artists, I'd vote for either Tempest by Deftones or Evacuation (live) by Greg Puciato.
With Tempest I can imagine the trailer starts of with a few already established scenes. Batman observing the Police Chief surrounded by reporters, visiting the crime scene, the graveyard and HQ arrival and then him donning the cape and cowl, before we see him diving down then rising to greet the goons watching him as the line "I know you can't be tired" comes in. We then see the shot of him beating up the thug. A few more shots of him engaging with the goons, Catwoman sneaking into the Mayor's house, interacting with Batman, then the "Turning in circles" chorus playing with that shot of the Riddler so arrogantly and surgically rolling the tape above his head. https://youtu.be/GIgNBxNvAJg?t=112
As the rest of the chorus plays out we see a deeper exploration into his actions, then we see new footage.
Same goes with Evacuation (live) as it starts of quiet and ominous with deep bass and airy synths before it begins to properly kick in. I can also imagine 3:32 playing with an overhead shot of Batman gliding over a Lee Bernejo styled Gotham. https://youtu.be/lk4vJ_KprOI?t=209
For a Soundtrack Album, I think something like:
- What Lies Beneath-Life On Venus
- Isn't Everyone?-NIN/Health
- Forget Tomorrow-Drab Majesty
- Walking With Shadows-Gary Numan
- Hollow Talk-SPC ECO
- Biscuit-Portishead
- Man Next Door-Massive Attack
- Neverland-Sisters of Mercy
- Fascination Street-The Cure
would be appropriate. What are your thoughts, hopes or expectations for the trailer music or a Soundtrack Album? The reason I ask is because I believe the music for a trailer is just as important as the scenes in showing us the world of the movie and the Sound

Things like:
-
(Trivial) Change the flavor text on the ability explanations to also briefly explain how the abilities are supposed to be used. "Here's reyna's blind and how it works. It can be used to push opponents and locations aggressively with added protection". Single line stuff.
-
(Easy) Splash screens during load times with tips on them. Instead of showing nothing during game load, and just showing a picture of the map during match load, show a cycling series of splash screens with little tips. "Jett's dash can help you get onto site quickly, and escape quickly if you're in a bad situation, or reposition yourself to catch enemies off guard!", "phoenix and reyna's flashes can be used out of smokes to help approach through them!", etc, with little diagrams showing it.
-
(Marginally non-easy) Collect all these tips splash screens together in some menu in-game where you can look through and view them all, if desired.
Put enough of these in the game, with players seeing them every single time they log on and every single time they load, and awareness will begin to spread on how to actually play these agents correctly. It may not be full-fledged tutorials (god forbid), but it'd be so much better than the current absolutely nothing, and if the players of the characters themselves don't see it then they'd at least have teammates who could remind them to do it, instead of just frustratedly banging their heads against the wall playing incorrectly in ignorance and never knowing why they're losing or even knowing that they're throwing for their team.
Ultimately I don't entirely blame all the awful instalock duelists. It's miserable to be stuck on teams with them, but at the end of the day there's absolutely zero information in the game itself on how to play these characters. The only way to find out is to look at external resources like youtube or whatever, and even then there's tons of fluff to wade through before you actually get something informative, and even then only people who are actively seeking out information will see it, and even then it's limited internationally by what language the youtubers use.
Current text says what the characters' roles are, but it doesn't say anything about why specifically that character's utility allows them to fulfill that role. Any of these changes would be leaps and bounds beyond what we currently have, and would hopefully alleviate this problem.
Currently riot is depending on youtubers or whatever to te

Mom has vision issues, and a local supermarket has a support program for elderly or disabled patrons. As well as doing food shopping online via an app where you don't need to talk to anyone, because some of their elderly customers can't use computers like this, they also have a system almost like a personal shopper-you phone your order through to your local branch and it gets delivered. Aunt thought this was working OK-she was phoning the order through because mom doesn't like to talk on the phone. This is a giant national chain with 1000s of stores in the UK.
She went to visit today to be met with a tirade of abuse-mom was waiting for a taxi to take her food shopping because the supermarket had "deliberately" messed up her order. She hadn't been sent oranges, and the onions they sent were mouldy. Aunt said 'but you didn't order any oranges or onions'. The onions in the fridge were mouldy, but they were also dated Dec 2020, and there is no way a supermarket would have had 3 month out of date onions on sale-they were obviously onions she had in the fridge and forgotten about. Her excuse for oranges was "I must have ordered oranges because I always order oranges. So if I didn't order them, they should have realised I wanted them and sent me some anyway" So aunt got the blame for failing to mind-read about oranges (despite mom sitting there dictating the order while aunt phoned the order through), and failed to protect mom from being taken advantage of by the shop sending massively out of date food. Mom has extrapolated this to "you don't care about me, you want to try and poison me, you hate me like everyone else" and has taken herself off shopping to an entirely different supermarket because she can no longer trust her sister or the first supermarket, rather than just backing down and accepting that she made a mistake about the oranges and the onions. Its always someone else's fault, and they are always the victims.
Just finished bingeing and wondering what to watch next. I want to rewatch Brokenwood Mysteries because most of the actors in Nothing Trivial have been in it.
My baby is 1.5 Years old today. And it has been a wild ride to say the least. My advice to new parents is to let you know that NOTHING is trivial. Down to burping & farting and all the way to walking and talking.
From day one these little creatures' brains are little sponges ready to soak up every little thing they can. Aside from instinct and innate fears they do not know anything.
This means it is up to us, as parents to teach them the fundamentals- in everything.
Farting, for example we had to do belly massages, mime grunting, use her legs and press them up against her chest to help her get it out.
Every step of her development we've had to break something down in which I thought there was 2-3 steps into 10-20 steps.
The reason I am reiterating this so much is because too often I see parent tell their young toddle to wipe up the spill, or make a bowl of cereal or whatever without ever breaking down into SIMPLE steps. Instead since we as adults thing it's SO easy and don't even think about it- we forget that they don't know the simple steps.
Example on breaking down the steps:
Clean up a spill-
- Notice and Identify the spill. (calm and soothing voices from parents here- reassure that mistakes happen and that we can fix em- throughout the steps try to encourage the child to remember which step is next , if they can't gently remind them, if they can praise them for remembering)
- Find the towels
- get the towel
- bring the towel back
- place towel ON spill
- move towel around &back and forth
- See if there is any more left and try to wipe it all up
- put towel in trash (or laundry if cloth)
- Be proud of a job well done (praise and high fives from parents is helpful here)
To some this may feel silly - but I have practiced this method in many many things with my own child and my younger siblings, nephews, whoever and they never fail to learn and be proud.
ALSO it is important to remember that they will NOT be good at these things right away , you will probably have to finish cleaning up more thoroughly afterwards. This is part of it too.
It can be frustrating to have your little one make a mess AGAIN but our anger or yelling will not help them, it won't help you. SO instead channel that into teachable moments!
If anyone is interested in parenting books and resources with similar philosophies - I am always happy to share.
Nothing Trivial is a New Zealand comedy-drama television series. The series is set around five characters who meet at a pub quiz. All share the characteristic of being unlucky in love.

Emojis are meant to represent emotions, feelings, a certain mood (the main ones at least), why should I be able to give this little dumb face a race? Why do we feel the need for that? Doesnt it feel a little condescending? I mean, I'm not entirely white and everytime WhatsApp gives me the option I cringe a little at the idea of only using emojis with my own skin color.
You know those TV after-show review programmes where a bunch of 'experts' gather together to scrutinise the minutiae of what happened in the latest episode of Big Brother, Love Island or some other pointless, fatuous bullshit? And then desperately try to make predictions or attribute some meaning and importance to something that is ultimately unimportant and meaningless? Well, it just occurred to me the other day that this is basically what JW Broadcasting is, when they leaf through the bible to impart a nugget about the actions of some semi-mythical historical figure, and then witter on endlessly about how this all applies to us today. Fortunately, for the last 30 years or more, I have invariably been watching something more interesting on the other channel.

PS: 20 points on someoneβs life score that can put this onto a Bane image from the dark knight rises. And give me credit for the idea ;)
The only way to really find out what the country thinks is by asking people from around the country. And what happens? It gets censored and moderated to hell.
This is where the eyeballs are. Unless China is far more ambitious than I thought.
Throughout my childhood, I looked up to my parents. I saw everything through rose colored glasses, even the near daily fights that were loud enough to scare me and my sibling; it didnβt matter though, because we were made to love our parents. Our grandparents would tell us about how strong our family is, that they love us, that we mean the world to them. Even though we saw all of the ugliness, we were told we had a great childhood.
I now realize that I have refused to look at my past, and I feel compelled to type this out. I need to get this off my chest, before I let it eat me up inside anymore than it has. Letβs start off with one of the weirder memories I have!
-When I was 4, my dad would yell at me ALOT. I remember one time, he started shouting at me after I went to take a shit right after I got out of the shower. What. The. Fuck. What weirdo cares about that, let alone shouts at a 4 year old to tears about how he needs to go before showertime.
I felt I should start it off with something a little comical, it only gets worse.
-Whenever I would do any sort of math homework with my father, he would get so impatient when I either couldnβt figure out or got an answer wrong that he would blow a fuse. At four years old, I started to get a view of who my father was by the words he would frequently shout at me during these anger episodes:
βYou are so stupid, you arenβt going to get to X grade!β
βYou are going to be held back.β
βMy god how dumb can you be!?
βJust think for christ sake!β
He would shout things like this at me, because I didnβt understand questions on my homework.
I remember more than several times him physically abusing me in the form of spanking at this age, hard. I learned to fear him after both these things happened.
He one time, when I was 11, shoved me into a wall and tackled me onto my bed when I went to run away into my room. He pinned me down, holding my hands, and just stayed on top of me so I couldnβt move. The look on his face was that of intent to harm, but I could tell he was struggling to go through with it. All of this, because I went to leave the house during a fight my parents were having a fight. My mother saw all of this and stood by my bed while he was ontop of me, but when I asked her βWhy didnβt you help me?β after, she said βI was too scared! You canβt blame me!β
Then came my sister. She would frequently bully me physically and emotionally, without remorse. Saying golden lines such as
βNobody loves you.β
