Stone struggles with his humanity as a machine, although his advancements have made him an unstoppable powerhouse. He has primarily been a member of the Teen Titans, but he is also a member of the Justice League of America. Cyborg was created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, first appearing in DC Comics Presents #26. (1980)
Directed by Zack Snyder, he joins a cast that includes Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot and Amy Adams.
With a script by David S. Goyer, which is based on a story by Goyer and Snyder, production is currently under way in Michigan.
