Jason Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I absolutely loved it, best Batman film I've seen for me. Don't disagree that Selina could have been axed and it wouldn't have made a difference, her story arc has basically no significance on the plot or character development of any of the other characters at all. That said, that's really the only issue I'd have with the film and it didn't bother me while watching it. It was a loooong one but I felt they justified it, no part of the film dragged for me and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Pattinson was a great Batman, TBA on him as Wayne as we barely saw him outside the suit but he was good, and I liked they didn't really have a "Batman" voice, TKD trilogy throat killer and Batfleck's robot voice became memes for how ridiculous they were. In general though despite being a very grounded take on Batman it also felt very comic booky in the way where we saw Batman standing alongside Gotham PD, talking and dealing with criminals in ways that weren't just punchy punchy justice, etc. That's something I've only really seen in the comics, the films always depict him as a bit of a villain with PD being super wary around him, only Gordon being able to talk with him and see him, him not interacting with the villains and instead only punching them to jail etc, so I did enjoy seeing him portrayed in ways I've only really seen in the comics here. The Batmobile scene was oooooooooooof. Our local cinema has great sound + feedback in the seats and f*ck it made that whole scene a cinema experience I won't forgot. I was skeptical of how it looked from promo photos but man they made him feel like Ghost Rider in that thing, it was awesome. Also, still can't get over that being Colin Farrell under all that makeup. But yea, loved it. Really looking forward to seeing more of this take on Batman in future with Reeves and Pattinson.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that axing Selina would have resulted in a much more focused narrative. Not to mention that it would add to the buddy cop vibe between Batman and Jim Gordon. Edited March 7 by Creed Bratton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zello Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Saw it. Still wonder what could have been with Affleck. Not going to say it's the best I wanted a bit more action there was more that they could have done. I am looking forward to seeing more of Robert Pattinson's Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather they delay and get it right than force them out before they're ready. Either way, Shazam is actually coming out like 6 months early now and Batgirl seems to still be on track.

Jason Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Wonder if it's a case of stuff is simply not ready or they're thinking those dates will be a better fit for each film, cause I can sorta see it if it's the latter. Black Adam as a Fall film, Shazam 2 as a Christmas film, Aquaman 2 as a Spring film and The Flash as the summer blockbuster. Soooooooorta makes sense? Or they're just not ready, lol.

I read somewhere that it's due to Covid related VFX delays. Not sure if that's true but Covid seems to be the easy excuse for all delays these days and I'm beginning to believe it less and less. It's not just the DC movies, though. WB's shifted around their whole theatrical slate. I think the Aquaman 2 move was inevitable as it would have released the same day as Avatar 2 otherwise. As is, though, now Shazam 2 is opening just four days ahead of Avatar. Not sure that's going to work out great for them.

Jason Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 The vfx industry is in a perpetual state of either overworked or going under, even before covid, so perhaps. Marvel and co don't seem to be struggling, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'ma say it. I really don't like that take on the Joker. He looks awful and is hard to understand, it's like they're trying to do a f*cked up version of Ledger's to me. After the disaster that was Leto's I'd love a proper classic Joker again, a proper clown prince of crime, not crazed lunatics with insanely scarred bodies or face tattoos.

Jason Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 So just as DC start getting their sh*t together, it sounds like DC films may be about to receive a massive overhaul? Do wonder if this will mean they have a much better go at a shared universe, of it it's more of a case of them wanting to do their A listers justice this time around, as it sounds like they wanna actually do stuff with Superman instead of leaving him on the bench.

DexMacLeod Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I kind of like the genuine multiverse approach they've got going right now. I want to see more Henry Cavil Superman but I also want to see what Michael B. Jordan's Val-Zod and Ta-Nehisi Coate's black Clark Kent. And I'm thoroughly enjoying the CW's Superman right now. I think it's almost impossible to make one Superman movie that pleases everyone and, as long as they're responsible with the budgets, there's tremendous potential upside in spreading out and just giving the world a bunch of different takes on Superman. I think there's room for all of that and no reason you can't put some, or all of them together later on down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I loved Batman but honestly the rest, eh. Shazam was decent, Wonder Woman 1 decent (over rated for me, but w/e), WW2 I hear was terrible tho. Joker for me is a vastly over rated film propped up by a great performance from Phoenix, at the least it's a piss poor Joker film and only confirmed by belief that you can't do the character with Batman. Sooooo I'm not against them taking another swing at a DC cinematic universe which I imagine is their goal again, but they've really got to do it properly this time if they want any chance. No speed running the JL film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexMacLeod Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I finally saw The Batman last night and I'm still not sure what to think of it. To be honest, most of it just didn't stick with me. About an hour into the movie I was thinking to myself that they could have cut about 40 minutes out of that first hour and nothing would have been lost but another hour later and I couldn't remember any specific details from that first hour. Well, except the kid who plays Tim Drake on Titans. That stood out. I think a big part of the problem is The Batman himself. He just never really seemed to have any agency in the story. He just sort of followed along with the plot, usually two or three steps behind it, and when he did catch up it was only because Riddler allowed it. People keep saying they could have cut Selina without losing much, or anything, but I'd argue you could say the same about just about anyone in the film, including Batman. Honestly, I think if there's a good story buried in this movie it stars Catwoman. She was personally intertwined with the plot in a way that Batman wasn't until two hours into the movie. When there were finally personal stakes for Bruce they got brushed aside relatively quickly and became more of an after thought. I didn't hate the film, though. I liked Pattinson in the role. We often hear characters in Batman stories mention how "creepy" he is and this was the first time I really felt that way. Despite probably being the physically smallest Batman we've gotten on screen he had an intimidating and "spooky" presence that I'm not sure I've really seen before. I also really liked his relationship with Gordon. It's maybe the best I've seen them portrayed in any medium. I liked it so much I wouldn't mind getting another Batman origin just to see how this bond formed. Colin Farrell was entertaining but I just never got "Penguin" vibes from him or even the sense that he could one day evolve into that. Both him and The Riddler seemed to be needlessly reinvented. As much as I'd like to see this iteration of Batman, Gordon, and especially Catwoman again, the villains in the movie make me not at all interested and kind of worried about what Matt Reeves will do in the future. P.S. Not at all a fan of that Joker. I get that he's been done a lot now and they're just trying to find a fresh take on him but... yeesh. That deleted scene is also just not a great scene on any level. Is this The Guy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigsters Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Just watched The Batman (2022) - IMDb on amazon prime , and it was pretty dark and deep at times, not the best batman film they'll, I remembered that Colin Farrell was in the film, they really made him unrecognizable in the Oz rule and Paul Dano looked like he could of portrayed Jeffrey Dahmer easily, he looked like the movie poster from My Friend Dahmer (2017) - IMDb but it wasn't him!.. I didn't pay $24 to watch it, it was renting for $6.99 at amazon prime, I order a couple films month if there really good or have a high rating at IMDb site "You don't understand!

Jason Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Love to be a fly on the wall at WB right now. You could maybe get away with releasing the film early on in during this situation if you sidelined him from marketing (which would've been a rough look to begin with) but yea it's become unreleasable now. The CG replacement aspect is rough as f*ck as well, it's still not quite good enough by the sounds of it based on recent examples (Army of the Dead) but that being said, despite not being a big fan on the show post post s3ish... just get Gustin in, he'll be down for it 100% and relatively cheap while still being a big draw cause of the show. Then reshoot what you can and CG what you can't. It's not ideal but the alternative is never releasing the film at all. Zello 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexMacLeod Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Yeah, if all this ends up being true they don't really have a lot of options. Digital replacement worked just fine in Army of the Dead but that was such a minor character that it's not really comparable. Miller is supposedly in almost every scene of the movie and I'm guessing it's rarely silently in the background with the occasional quip like Tig was. Grant Gustin is an option, but a terrible one, in my opinion. He comes with so much baggage that just isn't needed and doesn't help the movie in anyway. Also the dude's CW good, he's not save a cursed 300 million dollar movie good. He'd make for a good/fun cameo for the people who know who he is, but that's about it. I say scrap the movie all together, maybe dump it onto HBOMax if all of this turns out to not be as bad (or even real) as it looks. They've got plenty of superheroes they aren't currently using, there's really no need to force a Flash movie out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that I can think of that is similar is Kevin Spacey in All the Money in the world. He had a big role in it but was replaced after his allegations and they reshot it. The problem is that wasn't a $200 million superhero film with a lot of CGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Wouldn't be surprised if they postpone it's release indefinitely and then drop it on a streaming service later once it's settled down. Unless he does something really f*cked up, in which case I doubt it'll ever release as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
