Just saw this on hbo max. Excellent film.ove that we finally have a batman movie that emphasizes his detective skills.

Also, I agree with others that Court of Owls would fit fantastically with the tone and atmosphere that this film set in place.

Feel like the inclusion of The Joker was a studio decision, like you can’t have a Batman movie without at least a hint of him.

I don’t think so. Reeves was ready to walk away when he felt the studio was going to mandate what was to be in the movie. I have zero doubts it was all his idea. He mentioned using joker like a Hannibal Lecter type. I could see that role growing in the next film, leading to his escape and being the main villain in the 3rd film.

Given they’re hinting at No Man’s Land with that ending, I could see Joker escaping at the end of the next one and being the primary villain for the 3rd.

we def shouldnt be thinking about 3 just yet. 2 will have to perform for that to happen.

Fair. Nonetheless I’d like to see more different villains in the next one. Arkham City Mets No Man’s Land, with the Court of Owls pulling the strings, please.

I liked it but it would have made a better mini-series. It had mini-series written all over it.

My biggest gripe is how shit the riddles were.

Bad riddles.

The Riddler now an ironic name like “Little John”.

“I have a bed and do not sleep, what am I?”

“A river you cunt!”

That’s the level.

Villain in the next film should be Kite Man

kiteman and poison ivy

Condiment King

People laugh at Calendar Man...... but it could be a cerebral thriller. He was good in "The Long Halloween". They could keep him in that mindset and it'd be decent, if we wanna go with "joke" villains.

You know who I loved in The Animated Series? The Ventriloquist and Scarface.

Scarface would be cool. Maybe not as a main villain but one of them.

I've tried to watch this. Pretty good from what I saw but I just don't have the patience for a 3 hour fucking batman movie. Honestly, fuck off with that shit

Like if there wasn't already a million other batman movies i could do it. But seriously. Ugh.

Ditto... been saying I should rewatch it since it came out on Crave but it is like "ugh, 3 hours... that's a commitment".... and if I was going to commit that much time to a Batman movie it would probably be for one of the more fun Nolan movies...

The more distance I put between myself and this movie the more I think it is just "ok". Matt Reeves is a weird entity... like I really liked his Apes movies and this movie when I saw them for the first time, but then after the fact I feel like zero motivation to watch them again even though I know they are "good".

shut up cumdork

at least quote me

the film def has very littler replay value

(since its a plot driven feature)

Is this a megaman character?

The Batman sequel officially announced at cinema con yesterday. Joy.

i hope warner releases the app data. if what i suspect is true the 2nd film will probably open huge

They did. 4.1m views in the first week of release on HBO Max. Idk if that’s their highest but it beat most of their big releases on the app, including the Zack Snyder JL cut.

so that an extra 40 mil taking the box office to 750...damn. well theres still a year or so for word of mouth i guess. shame. i guess we dont know how many of those views were couples/groups so it could be more

I’d bet on more. But still the movie is popular and Pattinson was praised in the title role, which I think was their biggest hurdle.
