A poll published on Friday by farmer's union circular Maaseudun Tulevaisuus (siirryt toiseen palveluun) shows Minister for Foreign Affairs Pekka Haavisto (Green) as leader in the outlet's presidential poll.
Out of nearly 1,000 respondents, 17.3 percent said they supported Haavisto to succeed Sauli Niinistö at the next election in 2024. After two terms in office, Niinistö is constitutionally barred from running again.
Following Haavisto was the Centre Party's Olli Rehn, current Governor of the Bank of Finland, and Mika Aaltola, Director of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.
Compared to the previous MT presidential poll in early July, Rehn in particular has lost popularity. In the summer, Rehn received 20 percent of the vote, but now his support is just under 14 percent.
Aaltola, who has not declared any possible candidacy, has been in the public spotlight this year because of his foreign policy expertise, making many television and media appearances. Since the last MT poll this summer, his support has risen from five to eight percent.
Haavisto's support remained unchanged at 17 percent. The Green League MP has previously run for president in 2012 and 2018, losing out to Niinistö on both occasions.
An Yle poll from March showed a similar ranking to the MT poll from July.
A plurality of respondents, 28.8 percent, said that they could not say who they wanted to see as the next president. Other names rounding out the list were Jussi Halla-aho (Finns) at 5.8 percent and Alexander Stubb (NCP) at 4.5 percent.
The poll included 16 candidates from different parties who had received support in previous polls. Respondents were also asked to nominate the candidate of their choice. Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SPD) received the most mentions. Marin has previously announced that she will not run for president in 2024.
The presidential poll was conducted by Kantar TNS Agri between 2 and 7 December with 1,029 individuals responding to the survey. The margin of error is +- three percentage points.
Ex-Centre secretaries react to popularity crash
Ilta-Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) covered doom and gloom within the Centre Party, as its support dipped to 9.0 percent in an Yle poll published on Thursday.
Former Centre Party secretaries Seppo Kääriäinen and Jarmo Korhonen gave their views on the situation to IS.
"There is always work to be done, there is always work to be done. The party leadership, the ministers and the parliamentary group will hopefully now stop [and think] in the face of reality," Kääriäinen told IS.
In the 2019 election, the Centre Party collapsed from being the party of the prime minister to the fourth most popular party, and since then its support has fallen below 10 percent.
The party is now polling behind the Green Party, nearly on par with the Left Alliance.
"The Centre must admit that it has failed completely under a green-left government. The Centre Party must change its line and announce where it will seek support in the elections," Korhonen suggested.
He added that the party's stances are unclear which has whittled away its popularity.
The Centre Party has traditionally relied on rural voters, with much of its support coming from outside of Finland's major population centres.
Despite the current forecast for the Centre Party, the former leaders maintained a shred of hope for the coming parliamentary election in April. This parliamentary term has seen three Centre Party leaders, Juha Sipilä, Katri Kulmuni, and the current chair Annika Saarikko.
Kääriäinen used a colourful Finnish idiom to urge his party comrades not to give up.
"Let's not throw the axe into the well on the basis of a disastrous, dismal election result. We must rally the ranks and get our spirits up! The electoral situation and mood are largely decided during the last month, when people then vote," Kääriäinen said
Nato praise
Finland's Nato application might not be moving forward as quickly as hoped, but behind the scenes Finnish defence forces continue their cooperation efforts with the alliance.
On Friday Helsingin Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) reports on a major Nato cyber exercise that saw Finnish forces join western counterparts for exercises in digital resilience.
The Cyber Coalition 2022 exercise took place last week in the centre of the Estonian capital Tallinn and focused on how the alliance would face potential threats from cyberspace. Of particular significance was the resiliency of critical infrastructure such as energy grids in light of Russia's strategy in Ukraine.
More than 30 countries were involved in the exercise with over 1,000 participants.
HS wrote that the Nato exercise in Tallinn was shaped by recent events in Ukraine as Russia targets critical infrastructure to try and cripple Ukraine's power network.
"However, the real-world scenarios we are training for here, we are currently seeing in Ukraine," Colonel Bernd Hansen of Nato's Allied Command Transformation (Act) told HS.
Major Markus Riihonen, a cyber defence specialist from the Command and Control Systems division of the Finnish Defence Command, was present in Tallinn.
The Finnish participants practised incident management in power distribution systems, air traffic control systems and port logistics systems, he told HS.
In total, about 25 Finns from the Finnish Defence Forces and other authorities took part in the exercise, many of them remotely from Finland.
Riihonen said that the cyber battlespace is a concern every day in the real world, both in Finland and in Ukraine. It can be about intelligence, crime, harassment or even state influence.
"It's a game that's going on all the time, and we're part of it, whether we like it or not," Riihonen said.
Commander Charles Elliott told HS that Finland and Sweden are quite competent in this field and bring a lot to the exercise and to NATO in general.
"Their experience is excellent."
Elliott illustrates the capabilities of Finland and Sweden by recalling another NATO cyber exercise, Locked Shields, in which the countries compete against each other. This year's winner was Finland, last year Sweden.
Deputy Secretary General David van Weel believes that Finland and Sweden will integrate into NATO in terms of cyber activities "very quickly and very easily".
"We look forward to welcoming Finland and Sweden into our innovation ecosystem to maintain our technological edge," van Weel said to HS.

MLB Notes: Curvelo, Contreras, Luciano
With the offseason underway, let’s take a look at some notes from around the major leagues…
Players with six or more years of minor league service time could elect minor league free agency beginning on Monday. Baseball America has unveiled the list of all 513 players who did so. Luis Curvelo, a Venezuelan right-handed reliever, has been generating some buzz as an under-the-radar possible signing, according to Jon Morosi. He's spent the past six seasons in the Mariners' organization, making it as high as Double-A in 2024. The 24-year-old has had fantastic command — especially unusual at low levels — as exhibited by a 78:18 K/BB ratio this past season. Over 49 games and 66 2/3 innings in 2024, he allowed just 39 hits and a 2.57 ERA. He's mostly a two-pitch pitcher, throwing a fastball and an elite slider. Minor league free agents are seldom given a major league contract, but Curvelo's peripherals may make him a good candidate.
The St. Louis Cardinals have a Paul Goldschmidt-shaped hole at first base for the upcoming season and they’re apparently going to take an unconventional approach to filling it. According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, Willson Contreras is shifting to first base from his previous catcher position. Ahead of the 2023 season, he signed a five-year $87.5 million contract with the Cardinals after six years with the rival Cubs, as a replacement for St. Louis legend Yadier Molina. But Contreras’ time in the Gateway to the West began to go south in 2024 due to a fractured left forearm suffered in May and a fractured middle finger in August and he ultimately ended up playing in just 84 games. On top of that, just one month into his Cardinals’ tenure in May 2023, it was announced that he would no longer be playing catcher because starting pitchers didn’t like pitching to him. That plan remained in place for only one week before he returned to his normal spot, though. Currently, the team has rookie Pedro Pagés and youngster Iván Herrera as the candidates to take over behind the plate after splitting time there while Contreras was injured. As for former first-round pick Jordan Walker, who at 6’6”, 250 lbs has the size to play first base, it seems that the team either feels comfortable with him playing right field, or are hesitant to commit to him after another disappointing season with the bat. Contreras has only played 11 major league games at first base, with his last time coming in 2019. It remains to be seen how the Cardinals will approach the free agent market that has natural first basemen Rowdy Tellez, Pete Alonso, Josh Bell, Christian Walker, and Carlos Santana among others on it.
Marco Luciano’s prospect status has dwindled after a few disappointing stints with the Giants over the past two seasons but new Giants’ president of baseball operations Buster Posey thinks that he may know what will unlock the 23-year-old’s potential; moving him to the outfield. Luciano has exclusively played shortstop and second base thus far in his career, but dating back to his early years in San Francisco’s system, he looked to be a candidate to move to third base or the outfield because of his defensive struggles and those proficies are coming to fruition. When he was optioned to the minors in late September, the goal was to give him some reps in the outfield at the Arizona complex. Left field was split in 2024 between Heliot Ramos and Michael Conforto, the latter of now being a free agent, so it could be a logical spot for Luciano with centerfield locked down by Jung-hoo Lee and rightfield belonging to Mike Yastrzemski. The Giants have started a different player in left field on Opening Day each year dating back to 2007 and Luciano would help extend that streak to an impressive 19 seasons. San Francisco’s search for the Brandon Crawford-replacement will continue onwards with free agency beginning.

Srinagar : Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Tuesday said to have registered a case against the then Incharge Mid-Day meal, Zone Mawar, Langate for misappropriation and embezzlement of MDM funds.

3.Intertextuality and Transmedia - League of Legends by Riot analysis
Fig.1 League of Legends Cover
Nowadays, we live in a society where “mass consumption” is a key element. In the last few decades the amount that we consume on any level: food, films, games, entertainment, even work, has increased dramatically, which has led to a higher level of dopamine required for the brain to “feel good”. This led to a constant need of stimulation, which we are not even aware of most of the time. For example: watching streaming platforms while eating and working, playing mobile games while going to work or during breaks.
This constant social consumption motivated companies to extend and create more and more material in order to satisfy the viewers and at least keep them engaged if not bringing other viewers. Gaming studios extended into films, TV series, books, and film studios extended into games, books, comics etc. Another factor of the extension of gaming and streaming companies is the competition between them for “territory” who owns monopoly over the studios and by default, the market. Because studios need to produce so much in such a short time, as the quantity delivered has increased, the quality of it has drastically decreased.
Fig.2 League of Legends World Championship
In the video gaming market many studios tried to extend their franchises, making sequels and prequels of their games, making smaller versions for mobile or even realising small books with the story. However, I believe that the gaming studio that perfectly managed to create a complex transmedia universe is Riot Games through League of Legends (fig.1). Starting from the League of Legends game in 2009 the gaming studio constantly developed adding new playable champions to the game, skins, game modes and events with every update. In 2011 Riot Games started organising League of Legends World Championship (fig.2), with a prize of 100,000$, eight competing teams from Europe, North America and South Asia and 1.6 million viewers. Since then, the championship kept growing with amazing intro shows, live singers, holograms and many more. In 2018 the World Championship final was watched by 99.6million people on streaming platforms breaking the record of its previous year. Through their hard work, in 2019 the game peaked at eight million competitive players and kept growing since then. In present there are 165 unique playable characters for the player to choose from, each having multiple skins, abilities and playstyles. It is impossible for someone not to find at least a few champions to enjoy playing with.
Fig.3 Ruination Book
The champions that are released are not just simple characters. Each of them has a lore and background story that adds a little piece of the puzzle which is the whole Runetera universe, perfectly illustrating Jenkins' multimodality (Jenkins, 2011). Even though the game itself is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game, with no actual story play, Riot games put a lot of attention in building the story and complex characters. The world map contains ten distinctive regions: Freljord, Demacia, Noxus, Ionia, Piltover & Zaun, Targon, Shurima, Ixtal, Bilgewater and Shadow Islands. The story is kept alive through the release of cinematics and lore pages during seasons or events. The story expanded so much that Riot released multiple books with background stories of certain champions, art books, world exploration books, and even whole events like “Ruination: A League of Legends Novel” by Anthony Rynolds. This expansion of the game studio into literature enabled the players to have a better grasp of the reason why certain champions are released and how they connect to each other. It also gives more depth to the game, creating a more immersive experience for the player. It’s not just a 30min game in which you keep fighting random people, it’s a whole world you can explore.
Fig.4 KDA League of Legends K Pop Band
Besides the books and World Championships, League of Legends dived into the music industry as well, adding a new layer of transmedia. Starting with the music released with champion themes and cinematics, in 2014 Riot Games presented the virtual heavy metal band Pentakill in order to promote the release of the skins with the same name. Four years later in 2018 League of Legends got a new virtual band named K/DA (fig.4), a K-pop girl group formed of the in game champions Ahri, Akali, Evelynn and Kai’Sa and interpreted by Cho Mi-yeon, Jeon So-yeon, Madison Beer, Jaira Burns, Bea Miller. The band had a huge success with their singles “Pop Stars” and “The Baddest” which made K/DA the first K-pop girl group in history to achieve this milestone. In the more recent years, Riot has released two more bands True Damage in 2019 and Heartsteel in 2023, formed as well of in-game champions, with huge success. Each champion from the bands got their special skin with the same name as the band. I believe that by creating these fun virtual bands, League of Legends received a new, innovative way of engaging with the players and many more people who are not video-game passionate. The cinematic and music videos have thousands of reviews and reactions from music and film producers from all around the world, granting League of Legends even more publicity.
Fig.5 Arcane Wallpaper
Having roots in the gaming, book, comics and music industry wasn’t enough for Riot games and they took a huge step further and released in 2021 the first season of the animated TV series Arcane (fig.5), which had a huge impact among cinephiles. The first season has nine episodes and presents the story between the League of Legends champions Vi and Jinx, and features others like Caitlyn, Jace, Viktor, Ekko, etc. The story reveals a new, more complex side of their lore and adds so much more depth to the universe. Once again, Riot Games used transmedia to bring multiple areas together such as the characters from the game, incorporated in a new cinematic plot and with original music which features legendary artists such as Imagine Dragons and Sting.
In conclusion, I believe that the complex fictional world of League of Legends perfectly illustrates the concept of transmedia: "complex fictional worlds which can sustain multiple interrelated characters and their stories " (Jenkins, 2007). It combines the radical intertextuality, having similar elements across platforms like characters and regions, with Jenkins’ multimodality, having so much variation across many platforms such as virtual bands in music, TV series with extra plots, characters, books, comics with background and side stories. Having such a complex hyperdiegesis hooks the player and attracts even more viewers from other areas, creating a huge fandom. It offers a wide range for the player to interact with and explore, an immersive interactive experience on multiple levels.

Ramble of the month September 2023: Phase 3 of the Batman Begins-Led DCEU
As I said last month, my aim for my September ramble is to continue looking into my hypothetical alternate superhero film universes by moving on to phase 3 of a DCEU in which Batman Begins led the way. Having outlined phase 1 in March of this year and phase 2 in June, I am glad to be retaining a consistent pacing with my rambles on this subject. However, I’m also concerned about my lack of anything more varied to discuss, and hopefully by October that will have changed.
So, first things first, as with last month’s exploration of phase 3 of my 90’s based MCU, let’s start with a quick re-cap on the previous phases;
Phase 1:
2005: Batman Begins
2006: Man of Steel
2007: Wonder Woman
2008: The Dark Knight, Green Lantern
2009: The Flash, Man of Steel 2
2010: Aquaman, Justice League
Phase 2:
2011: Wonder Woman 2, Green Lantern 2, Green Arrow
2012: Hawkman, Batman/Superman, Aquaman 2
2013: John Constantine, The Flash 2, Suicide Squad
2014: Justice League 2, Green Arrow 2, Batman: The Long Crusade
There are several key difference between the two phases. The first phase was very much about establishing the lead heroes that would then form the Justice League and doing that with those heroes. It also featured a slow build-up to the production of superhero films on a very regular basis. Phase 2 then expanded on this by adding in more heroes, while at the same time straining the relationships of lead characters with the public in their universe and with each other. By the tail-end of phase 2, Batman has seemingly betrayed the Justice League in an adaptation of the Tower of Babel story arc, been slightly vindicated by a few leaguers being mind-controlled and having to be stopped by Green Arrow in that hero’s second film, and we’ve the Suicide Squad rolling around as well.
All that being said, we’ve also had Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow and Batman gain their first proteges in phase 2, setting up for another form of team-up ensemble film, which is part of the phase 3 overview outlined below;
Phase 3:
2015: Shazam, Man of Steel 3, The Atom
2016: Wonder Woman 3, Batgirl, Teen Titans
2017: Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Shazam vs Black Adam, Suicide Squad 2
2018: Justice League: Darkseid Rising, Aquaman 3, Doom Patrol
As you can see, phase 3 continues to introduce new heroes alongside those already established, and at the same time, we’re also getting a mix of new and existing team combinations. However, how does this all work in detail. Well, let’s dive into the films of the third round in this alternate DCEU;
Shazam (2015) Directed by David F Sandberg
Billy Batson/Shazam = Zachary Gordon/Zachary Levi
Dr Thaddeus Sivana = Stanley Tucci
Freddy Freeman/"Shazam" Freddy = Chandler Riggs/Adam Brody
The Wizard = Forest Whitaker
Darla Dudley/"Shazam" Darla = Quvenzhané Wallis/Meagan Good
Mary Bromfield/Mary Marvel = Halston Sage/Michelle Borth
Eugene Choi/"Shazam" Eugene = Hudson Yang/Ross Butler
Pedro Peña/"Shazam" Pedro = Rico Rodriguez/DJ Cotrona
Rosa Vásquez = Marta Milans
Víctor Vásquez = Cooper Andrews
Shazam is one of those films from the real DCEU I would avoid changing too much just because Shazam isn’t my strongest area of DC lore to conceive any alternate ideas around. That’s not to say I haven’t done so later in my ideas for this hypothetical film run, but rather that I wouldn’t have much luck changing the original film substantially. As such, the director would remain the same and so would most of the cast. The few I’ve changed have been down to either casting the actors from the real film elsewhere in this hypothetical film universe, or the fact that this would now be a 2015 film instead of a 2019 one. The story of the film would also be about the same, but some of the references to other DC heroes might different based on the events of earlier films.
Man of Steel 3 (2015) Directed by Guillermo del Toro
Superman/Kal-El/Clark Kent = Brandon Routh
Lois Lane = Kate Bosworth
Kara Zor-El/Supergirl = Dakota Fanning
Brainiac = Paul Bettany
General Harrison Hardcastle = Neal McDonough
Capt. Nathanial Adams/Captain Atom = Matt Bomer
John Corbin/Metallo = Orlando Bloom
Leslie Willis/Livewire = Danielle Panabaker
Claire Selton/Volcana = Kirsten Stewart
Martha Kent = Diane Lane
Jonathan Kent = Kevin Costner
Jor-El = Russell Crowe
Dr Emil Hamilton = Richard Schiff
Perry White = Sam Neill
Jimmy Olsen = Rider Strong
Cat Grant = January Jones
Steve Lombard = Josh Brolin
Capt. Maggie Sawyer = Jeri Ryan
Insp. Turpin = Colin Farrell
Bibbo Bibbowski = Luke Hemsworth
Discounting the Batman-Superman joint film from phase 2, this is our third solo instalment for Superman, and while film 1 was very much like the 2013 Man of Steel made a bit brighter compared to what Snyder did, the second film was a more classic Superman versus Lex Luthor and Metallo with an assist from the Martian Manhunter. Film 3, however, looks at Superman after his bout of mind-controlled criminality in Green Arrow 2. His relationship with the public and the governments of the world is strained, and when his cousin Supergirl crash-lands on Earth and accidentally does damage due to her newly manifested powers, things become even rockier.
To this end, a small super-group is formed by the US armed forces under the orders of General Hardcastle, which brings in military superhero Captain Atom at the head of a small team of otherwise villains sent after Superman. However, little does anyone know that Supergirl has been tracked to Earth by Brainiac, and when he arrives, the true heroes and villains are dictated by who is willing to refocus on this new threat and who isn’t. Most of the cast is retained from past films, with the Supergirl-to Volcana portion of the cast being all new. As for picking Mr del Toro to direct, those who have read my previous rambles will know I’ve gone through Roland Emerich, Ron Howard and Rob Marshall on the films where Superman is somehow in the title. This is because I think Superman is someone who benefits from a regular change in director to add some variety to the character. Also, the man did great work on Blade II and also has prior comic-film experience from the original Hellboy films, so it’d be interesting to see him deal with a less anti-heroic protagonist.
The Atom (2015) Directed by Michael Nankin
Dr Ray Palmer/Atom = Tom Ellis
Jean Loring = Morena Baccarin
Norman Brawler = Elden Henson
Paul Hoben = Dominic Cooper
Professor Hyatt = David Hyde Pearce
David Clinton/Chronos = Richard T. Jones
Prof. Martin Stein = Victor Garber
Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm = Nick Jonas
Because of the power-set and civilian occupation of the Atom, I figured the director should be someone with some experience of dealing with the microscopic and forensic. In short, it needed to be someone who had dealt with an episode of CSI at least once. As a result, I landed on the idea of Michael Nankin, who helmed the Star Trek-homage episode of CSI in its ninth season, making a cinematic directorial debut on this one. The film is basically about Dr Ray Palmer becoming estranged from his wife as he cracks the means to shrink a human being, and then works to stop the time-travelling Chronos with the aid of Firestorm, a superhero composed of two beings in one.
As the film goes on, Palmer learns his wife is outright cheating on him, and when faced with Chronos has to ask the question; should he co-opt the villain’s time-travel tech to fix his marriage, or is that too close to Chronos’ abuses of the tech? In that sense, I would really want to see this film look just at the disintegration of a romantic connection without trying to set up an alternate one. Not all superhero romances have happy endings, and it would be good to showcase how life in super-tights can mess up a personal life well into the supposedly “happily ever after” stage.
Casting-wise, I kept the role of Stein the same as what Arrow-verse series the Flash gave us, but then picked a number of different actors for other roles based on who I thought might look right for the parts, be the right age, etc. Several of the actors people will know from other superhero-related productions (Elden Henson was in the Netflix Daredevil series, Morena Baccarin is known for her roles in Gotham and the Deadpool films, and of course Dominic Cooper played the 1940’s/50’s version of Howard Stark in the MCU).
Wonder Woman 3 (2016) Directed by Patty Jenkins
Diana/Wonder Woman = Kate Beckinsale
Hippolyta = Connie Nielsen
Donna Troy/Wonder Girl = Ciara Bravo
Dr Alannah Troy = Demi Moore
Hades = David Tennant
Artemis = Rachael Taylor
Dr Julia Kapatelis = Rita Wilson
Vanessa Kapatelis = Elena Kampouris
"Sarge" Steel = Jeremy Renner
After having done two period-set Wonder Woman films under Trek alumni Gates McFadden, this third instalment of the Amazon’s solo adventures is handed over to Patty Jenkins and comes into the modern era. In this film, Wonder Woman hasn’t made the same efforts as Superman and the Flash to rebuild her bridges following the mind-control incident in Green Arrow 2. As a result, she is operating almost Batman-style within Washington DC, posing as an archaeological expert while secretly foiling crime. However, this is interrupted when she discovers that one of her colleagues, Dr Alannah Troy, has sired a young girl with the Greek god Hades, and now Diana’s half-cousin is being sought by a cult bent on freeing Hades from Tartarus.
Except for Wonder Woman and her mother Hippolyta, this film is all-fresh casting, and the character of Alannah Troy and the new Wonder Girl origin are my own ideas, albeit slightly based on events from the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated shows. This is because Donna Troy’s origins get very confused in the comics, and I think having Diana and Donna be cousins via their godly fathers provides a decent simplification for cinematic audiences.
Batgirl (2016) Directed by Gates McFadden & Reese Witherspoon
Barbara Gordon/Batgirl = Bella Thorne
Alysia Yeoh = Lana Condor
Reese Conroy = Ross Lynch
Dr Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn = Margot Robbie
Dr Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy = April Bowlby
James "Jim" Gordon = Gary Oldman
Det. Harvey Bullock = Donal Logue
Det. Renee Montoya = Penelope Cruz
Bruce Wayne/Batman = Christian Bale
The Joker = Willem Dafoe
Keeping with the idea of female-led franchises on and off-screen, we come to a solo film for Batgirl. This one is helmed by Gates McFadden and Reese Witherspoon, the latter being someone who I am aware started her own production company to try and put female-centric stories on the big screen. As such, I’m thinking she might well jump at the chance to co-direct a Batgirl solo film with another female director. The plot would differ a little from the comics; instead of trying to clear her father of a crime he didn’t commit, Barbara initially becomes the Batgirl in homage to Batman. Only when her father is kidnapped by Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn does Batgirl take her role more seriously, stepping up to become a true superheroine and in the process shifting from hero worship of Batman to seeing him as a friend and ally.
Now while the Joker is included in the cast, this is just for a flashback montage that explains why Harley is coming in as Ivy’s partner-in-crime on her first DCEU film. Rather than taking her through a relationship with the Joker over a film or two, we just treat it as something that’s happened between The Dark Knight film and this one. Casting-wise, everyone from Jim Gordon on-down is from past films, leaving just Barbara, her friends and the female antagonists as new selections. Bella Thorne takes the lead role due to her youth, resemblance to the comics character and good acting ability, while Margot Robbie is one of those bits of real-DCEU casting I agree with enough to retain. As for taking on April Bowlby as Poison Ivy, I know she’s landed more serious roles since her time on Two-and-a-Half-Men, and I’d be curious to see her take on Poison Ivy as a role.
Teen Titans (2016) Directed by Steven Spielberg
Richard Grayson/Robin = Patrick Schwarzenegger
Koriand'r/Starfire = Elle Fanning
Donna Troy/Wonder Girl = Ciara Bravo
Wallace "Wally" West/Kid Flash = Calum Worthy
Raven = Maisie Williams
Victor Stone/Cyborg = Ashton Sanders
Garfield "Gar" Logan/Beast Boy = Dylan Sprayberry
Roy Harper/Speedy = Cameron Monaghan
Aqualad/Garth = Luke Benward
Trigon = Viggo Mortensen
Psimon = Matthew Grey Gubler
Gizmo = Peter Dinklage
Jinx = Naomi Scott
Mammoth = Adam Joseph Copeland
Shimmer = Anna Faris
Grant Wilson/Ravager = Andrew Garfield
Slade Wilson/Deathstroke = Daniel Day-Lewis
Dr Silas Stone = Rocky Carroll
Bruce Wayne/Batman = Christian Bale
Alfred Pennyworth = Michael Caine
It’s a sad truth in cinema as we know it that the Teen Titans have never had a serious film of them released cinematically. The only cinema versions to date have been “kiddy-fied” cartoon disasters, and the two serious animated features that have been done have been for direct-to-home-release only. As such, there was no way I’d conceive a hypothetical live-action DC universe without seeking to address this foolish oversight on the part of DC and WB. To show just how seriously I take this, I’ve even put the great Steven Spielberg at the helm, because frankly I think it would be good to have someone of that calibre lend their directorial weight to the project.
Plot-wise, you start out with the apprentices of the major heroes meeting each other and trying to team up, but something goes awry, and earns them some condemnation from Batman. A few months later, the demon Trigon begins trying to invade Earth, and his daughter Raven comes to Earth ahead of him to recruit heroes against the threat. With Batman taken out early on and the rest of the Justice League engaged, it falls to the Titans from the 1980’s comics run to assemble and meet the threat. The Fearsome Five are incorporated as pawns of Trigon, while Ravager tries and fails to collect a bounty on the Titans. His accidental death while pursuing this then leads to a credits scene in which his father Deathstroke takes up the contract, setting up for a somewhat inevitable sequel.
Batman and Alfred are brought in from past films, as are the apprentice heroes and Cyborg’s father. The rest of the cast is all new to this film. I won’t go on at length about their respective resumes; suffice it to say that past experience combined with looking like, or having the potential to look like, the relevant roles has led me to each name on this list.
Green Lantern/Green Arrow (2017) Directed by Matt Reeves
Green Lantern/Hal Jordan = Ben Affleck
Oliver Queen/Green Arrow = Ethan Hawke
Dinah Lance/Black Canary = Malin Akerman
Roy Harper/Speedy = Cameron Monaghan
Tobias Whale = Marvin "Krondon" Jones III
Brunno Mannheim = Joe Manganiello
Whisper A'Daire = Emilia Clarke
Kyle Abbot = Ed Skrein
China White = Kelly Hu
One of the major watershed moments in comics history that has yet to see a film adaptation is the arc in the Green Lantern-Green Arrow combined comic of the 1970’s where Green Arrow’s sidekick Speedy turned out to have developed an addiction to drugs. When considering films for this alternate DCEU, even though I’ve never read the story, I thought some version of it should be done in film. To that end, we have this concept, which I would have directed by Matt Reeves (haven’t seen his Batman film, but I enjoyed his Planet of the Apes work). In this film, Roy Harper is recovering from injuries sustained in the early scenes of the Teen Titans film. When his doctor cuts off his pain killers prematurely, Roy turns to illegal drugs to compensate, then develops an addiction. The film then showcases Green Arrow mishandling things, Green Lantern not doing a good job himself by taking Ollie off to fight the drug pushers, and Black Canary being the one to do right by Roy, leading to both of them becoming estranged from Green Arrow.
Our heroes and the drug-dealing China White are all brought back from past films, while the rest of the cast list is new. Mannheim is incorporated to provide links to the world of Superman, while Whisper and Kyle are nods to Ra’s Al Ghul and the League of Shadows. Tobias Whale, on the other hand, is borrowed from the rogues gallery of Black Lightning, largely in homage to a similar character appearing in a Justice League Unlimited episode that featured Green Arrow and Black Canary.
Shazam vs Black Adam (2017) Directed by David F Sandberg
Billy Batson/Shazam = Zachary Gordon/Zachary Levi
Black Adam/Teth-Adam = Dwayne Johnson
Isis/Adrianna Tomaz = Michelle Rodriguez
Osiris/Amon Tomaz = Miguel Gomez
Freddy Freeman/"Shazam" Freddy = Chandler Riggs/Adam Brody
The Wizard = Forest Whitaker
Darla Dudley/"Shazam" Darla = Quvenzhané Wallis/Meagan Good
Mary Bromfield/Mary Marvel = Halston Sage/Michelle Borth
Eugene Choi/"Shazam" Eugene = Hudson Yang/Ross Butler
Pedro Peña/"Shazam" Pedro = Rico Rodriguez/DJ Cotrona
Rosa Vásquez = Marta Milans
Víctor Vásquez = Cooper Andrews
For Shazam’s second solo outing, I felt like that needed to be something different, and after seeing the less-than-brilliant use of the JSA and the Tomaz family in the Black Adam film, I knew what the different thing had to be. So, step one, keep Sandberg directing. Step 2, have Black Adam appear in his fictional nation and free it in brief, then he lets himself be caught invading another country so he could be taken over to the United States, who he learns has been complicit in Kandaq’s problems prior to his liberation of his people. When Black Adam breaks free, he clashes with the Shazam family and later recruits Kandaqi-American mother-and-son Adrianna and Amon Tomaz. In this sense, the film is a kind of Shazam-centric variant on the Superman story “what’s so funny about truth, justice and the American way?”
In terms of cast, most of it remains the same as the real DCEU, with a few changes here and there. Yes, my picks for the Tomaz family are of Latin extraction instead of middle Eastern, but considering Dwayne Johnson is of Black Canadian and Samoan descent, I think it’s hardly vital we get like-for-like in actor nationalities/heritage. That said, I would be insisting on some dialect coaches so you can be convinced Black Adam is from an ancient middle east nation instead of the USA.
Suicide Squad 2 (2017) Directed by Guillermo del Toro
Amanda Waller = Viola Davis
Rick Flag Jr. = Joel Kinnaman
Floyd Lawton/Deadshot = Christian Slater
Captain Boomerang/Digger Harkness = Hugh Jackman
Killer Frost/Louise Lincoln = Amanda Seyfried
Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger = Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
Sameer Park/Copperhead = Sendhil Ramamurthy
Siobhan Smythe/Silver Banshee = Katie McGrath
Dr Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn = Margot Robbie
Giganta = Hayley Atwell
Enchantress/Dr June Moone = Keira Knightley/Natalie Portman
Slipknot/Christopher Weisz = Adam Beach
Sportsmaster/Victor Gover = Xavier Samuel
Cheshire/Jade Nguyen = Rila Fukushima
Diana/Wonder Woman = Kate Beckinsale
General Harrison Hardcastle = Neal McDonough
Vandal Savage = Gerard Butler
This is our second DCEU film of the phase, and overall, with Guillermo del Toro at the helm. This time, though, the focus is on villain-team the Suicide Squad. For the squad’s second outing, they’re caught up in a manhunt, or rather woman-hunt, for Wonder Woman after the events of that hero’s third solo film. General Hardcastle, having been disgraced in MoS 3 for his attempt to go after Superman, tries to dupe Amanda Waller into having the squad bring in Wonder Woman. However, little does he or the squad know that immortal Vandal Savage is planning a major coup, and pursuing Wonder Woman could be the very thing that allows him to succeed.
For all intents and purposes, this film is meant to be a kind of warped superhero universe variant on ‘The Fugitive’ with a little James Bond/Raiders of the Lost Ark thrown in on the third act. There are a few new names in the cast, but most are brought back from prior films. Among the new names is Katie McGrath, the actress who played Lena Luthor in the Arrow-verse series of Supergirl. As the actress is apparently Irish, I’ve shifted her into playing Silver Banshee in this film.
Justice League: Darkseid Rising (2018) Directed by Ron Howard
Oliver Queen/Green Arrow = Ethan Hawke
Dinah Lance/Black Canary = Malin Akerman
Barry Allen/The Flash = Matt Damon
Dr Ray Palmer/Atom = Tom Ellis
J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter = Chiwetel Ejiofor
Superman/Kal-El/Clark Kent = Brandon Routh
Carter Hall/Hawkman = Sullivan Stapleton
Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl = Jessica Alba
John Stewart = Derek Luke
Bruce Wayne/Batman = Christian Bale
John Constantine = Matt Ryan
Zatanna = Katrina Law
Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning = Jamie Foxx
Steppenwolf = Ciarán Hinds
Kalibak = Liev Schreiber
Scott Free/Mister Miracle = Charlie Cox
Barda Free/Big Barda = Lindsay Kay Hayward
DeSaad = David Wenham
Darkseid = Bernard Hill
This is our third Justice League film, and having thoroughly shaken up the League and the DC universe over a few years, this instalment creates a bit more chaos. In this film, Steppenwolf launches an assault on Earth, and in the process the latest iteration of the Justice League ends up scattering. One group seeks out Batman, and together with additional heroes of his choosing mount a counter-strike. The other group ends up meeting heroes from New Genesis and learning that Steppenwolf is only the tip of the sword. This sets up a major multi-film story arc that runs for most of the remaining phases of this DCEU.
In terms of direction, I’ve already used Ron Howard in this hypothetical film run on Man of Steel 2, and I think this would be an interesting project for him to helm. Everyone from Steppenwolf on-down in the film casting is new to this film; Ciarán Hinds is retained from the real DCEU as I think he was let down by that Justice League film and not the film by him. As for the selection of Lindsay Kay Hayward, that was based on a search for a truly tall actress to play Big Barda without necessarily having to revert to effects or trick camera shots. As for Bernard Hill, who better than Theoden of Rohan from LOTR to be playing an alien monarch like Darkseid?
Aquaman 3 (2018) Directed by James Wan
Arthur Curry/Aquaman = Chris Pine
Mera = Felicity Jones
Vulko = Jonathan Frakes
Black Manta = Idris Elba
Tempest/Garth = Luke Benward
Jackson Hyde/Aqualad II = Caleb McLaughlin
Tula/Aquagirl = Lily-Rose Depp
Siren/Hila = Felicity Jones
Nanaue/King Shark = Sylvester Stalone
King Ryus = Dolph Lundgren
Capt. Leron = Matt Smith
Nereus = Domnhall Gleeson
Gamemnae = Laura Haddock
For our third Aquaman solo outing, the directorial reigns shift from Vulko actor and Trek alumni Jonathan Frakes to James Wan, director of the real DCEU’s Aquaman film. The plot is a loose translation of the Obsidian Age arc from the Justice League comics, with the ancient Atlantean sorceress Gamemnae appearing as a present-day foe and opposed by the full aqua-family, including a second Aqualad and introducing Aquagirl. Casting-wise, it’s mostly people I already chose for the past Aquaman instalments mixed with real DCEU casting and a few new ones. Also, while I chose each cast member for good reasons that trump all else, I can’t deny the slight misfortune in selecting someone with the surname Haddock for a film whose characters are all somehow aquatic in nature.
Doom Patrol (2018) Directed by James Gunn
Dr Niles Caulder/The Chief = Pierce Brosnan
Clifford Steele/Robot Man = Johnny Whitworth
Larry Trainor/Negative Man = Alessandro Nivola
Rita Farr/Elasti-Girl = Alyssa Milano
Mento/Steve Dayton = Nathan Fillion
Bumblebee/Karen Beecher = Kyla Pratt
Vox/Malcom Duncan = Donald Glover
The Brain = Jean Reno
Monsieur Mallah = Omar Sy
Laura De Mille/Madame Rouge = Sophie Marceau
Emil LaSalle/Warp = Jean Dujardin
Otto Von Furth/Plasmus = Til Schweiger
When it comes to films about misfit adventurers in a world of super-beings, James Gunn pulls them off better than most at times, so I thought it’d be interesting to see him tackle the Doom Patrol in film format. This film is very much a one-off and does a run-through on their origins while pitting them against their arch-nemeses the Brotherhood of Evil. With the antagonists being mostly French with a single German member in the comics, this was an interesting one to cast outside of the hero team. Mind you, casting for a brain in a robot body and a man wrapped in bandages is also fun because appearance is less crucial. However, I think the end result is pretty good.
So, that’s the full run-through on phase 3 of my Batman Begins-led DCEU. Hopefully, I won’t come back to this or my 90’s MCU until the new year, and I’ll have some more varied topics to discuss in the last few months of 2023. As to whether those hopes are justified, we’ll have to wait until October to see. Until then, ta-ta for now.

Sports fan activation innovation at a sport event: Mercedes-Benz Stadium
The Mercedes-Benz Stadium is home to two professional sports teams: the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL) and Atlanta United FC of Major League Soccer (MLS) (Tucker, 2017).
Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA was the first NFL and MLS stadium to go cashless stadium wide, encouraging more transactions and boosting their sales numbers. The NFL team has established themselves as a great environment for fans, earning the leagues "voice of the fan" number one satisfaction rate (Buzalka, 2019).
The stadium was the recipient of the LEED platinum certification, this is considered to be one of the most highly regarded sustainability certifications that can be granted by the United States of America’s green building council (Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 2016).
The article assesses the impact of the 2019 Super Bowl on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and evaluates how the Mercedes-Benz Stadium contributed to achieving these goals. The study focuses on the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the event, and provides insights into how future major sport events can be designed and implemented to align with the SDGs (Erikson et al, 2019).
There are several sustainable design elements of the stadium, which includes the use of solar panels, a rainwater harvesting system, and recycled materials. These features contribute to the overall sustainability of the stadium by reducing energy consumption and water waste (Reed et al, 2019).
The media covered all the positive and sustainable elements of the stadium being built however, there were claims that the enormous amount of money spent on the stadium could have been used better to benefit the historically black neighborhoods it was built in. A neighbourhood in Atlanta's southeast called "Lightning" was flattened to make way for the Georgia Dome in the 90s, now the land the Georgia Dome was on is where you can find the Mercedes Benz stadium.
The venue is unlike anything built before it and will undoubtedly benefit the community and has already helped south-east Atlanta grow to a better economic standpoint in the last 5 years (Fausset, 2019).
