Obligatory "WORST BATMAN EVER!!!" post

slik 05-16-2019 09:08 PM

I think he'll be fine tbh.

From what I have seen him in (no, I have never seen Twilight) he seems like a good actor.

mitchables 05-16-2019 09:11 PM

i mean i'm not saying that i think he'll be "the worst batman ever" or anything. history has taught me to know better than to make sweeping judgments on castings before you see them in the role, no matter what you think of the actor

but my reflexive reaction is def "...him?"

slik 05-16-2019 09:13 PM

I would lol if they cast Kristen Stewart as Catwoman

Damian Rey 2.0 05-16-2019 09:13 PM

Well....we shall see. I wasn't pumped for Affleck and ended up feeling he was easily the best part of BvS so.....here's hoping.

Frank Drebin 05-16-2019 10:41 PM

Maybe they just hired him to show him the disappearing pencil trick.

Pretty much this, yeah

I find it hilariously tragic that they're still actually trying to go through with this movie.

Matt Reeves did a great job directing and/or writing Cloverfield, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes & War Of The Planet Of The Apes so I have lots of faith in this.

No probs with Pattinson.

I need me some Michael Keaton as old man Bruce.

Love the 2nd and 3rd Apes movies. He also did Let Me In, which was a remake but a damn good one. I think he's going to do great. Hopefully they start filming soon.

Seanny One Ball 05-17-2019 06:45 PM

They neutered a masterpiece when they remade "Let The Right One In" as a teeny bopper flick and had the balls to alter the double meaning of the title.
Unforgivable.

I didn't mind it so much at first and then I rewatched "Let The Right One In" which is as polished a gothic romance as there will ever be in this century.

I'm still mad about it.

Agree to disagree. Loved the remake. It's not Let the Right One In but it was never going to be.

Lock Jaw 05-18-2019 01:27 PM

Rumored villains are Penguin and Catwoman.... and maybe like 6 or 7 others.

Seanny One Ball 05-18-2019 01:38 PM

Apparently it's going to focus more on the investigative part of the Batman M.O

So that sounds cool. I want to see gadgets and sleuthing punctuated by brief and effective vigilantism.
Make it more Man From Uncle than Winter Soldier though, a bit of a Mission Impossible style would be nice.

Take it back to the 60's and 70's.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-18-2019 01:49 PM

I like that idea. Takes him in a different direction than we've seen.

ClockShot 05-18-2019 02:02 PM

Robert Pattinson?

Damn. Last I saw him was in Lost City of Z. And he's done some other low level indie flicks since then it seems.

How'd he pop on DC's radar for the role?

Seanny One Ball 05-18-2019 03:39 PM

By being a fine actor with the added bonus of absolutely huge name value and marketability off the back of his participation in the biggest franchise aimed at fluttery eyed young girls ever.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-18-2019 06:09 PM

And he's handsome. Gotta be handsome.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-18-2019 06:12 PM

Pattinson has been in 8 films that are 60% or better on rotten tomatoes since the last twilight film as opposed to only one rotten film. Not bad.

Seanny One Ball 05-18-2019 06:19 PM

He had done all of the right things to progress from teen heartthrob to serious actor. I respect the work ethic.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-18-2019 08:13 PM

As do I. Smart really. Used two large franchises as a platform to getting better work. And now he's Batman.

Luigi 05-28-2019 06:15 PM

I hope I'm wrong and I usually like to keep an open mind about things, but I don't think that this is going to be very successful. Following in the footsteps of the Dark Knight trilogies is going to be an extremely tall order, and I just can't see Pattinson being able to take the torch from Christian Bale.

RP 05-28-2019 06:18 PM

Pattinson lights my torch.

Pattinson is a good actor no doubt, but I can't see him being able to duplicate Christian Bale's success. If it was up to me, the entire Batman franchise would be put to rest for the next 20-25 years. The Dark Knight trilogies was so epic, that you can't just make a new Batman a few short years later.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-28-2019 09:43 PM

Bale's Batman was great because of team behind it, not just because of Bale. Reeves is an accomplished director and seems to have a very firm idea of what he wants to do with the character. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see where he goes with it.

Did Batman ever have a werewolf villain?

If so, they should go with that.

There’s Man Bat. Which would honestly be awesome.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-29-2019 07:11 PM

Mr Freeze would be awesome. Man bat as well.

mitchables 05-29-2019 08:01 PM

hell yeah, i would show the hell up for freeze (esp tragic/serious freeze) and/or man-bat. they both have the potential to be awesome.

tbh though other than freeze - or maybe a well-done poison ivy - i'd prefer it if they went for a villain we haven't seen already, especially one, in catwoman's case, we've already seen twice in two film series

professor pyg would be pretty cool if they're wanting to highlight batman's 'detective' side, though he might not yet be established enough outside of the comics

new 52-era dollmaker would work for similar reasons as pyg, though he appeared in both arrow and gotham

black mask would've been good too, if he wasn't tied up in birds of prey (which, side note, i really hope does not suck)

penguin would be ok but honestly after five seasons of gotham i don't feel like the character needs it; same for riddler. cobblepot and nygma were the breakout villains of that show and imo they feel pretty well represented on-screen as a result, even if neither has been in a film for 20+ years

other villains i would be down for:

- clayface
- court of owls
- hugo strange (they might avoid this purely for the 'dr strange' connection though)
- lady shiva

Damian Rey 2.0 05-29-2019 08:24 PM

Court of Owls should deff be the sequel.

If it's good mainstream media will love it. That's all that really matters.

XL 05-30-2019 11:51 AM

I could go for Riddler. I wouldn’t disqualify him due to being covered in Gotham as a movie has a broader appeal than the TV show. Riddler would play off going the detective route with Batman too.

Luigi 05-30-2019 12:20 PM

Very interesting ideas and thoughts being posted in this thread and I commend those posters for their contributions. I think this is one of those things where I'll have to "see it to believe it" so to speak. The Dark Knight trilogies is just so legendary that any attempt to duplicate it or come up with a new twist to the Batman series will likely just fall flat in my opinion.

The same could have been said for Spider-Man and Marvel did a great job creating a different take on the title character that's different but every bit as good as the Raimi version.

It's not going to duplicate TDK films. And it's been 7 years since Rises came out and it'll be closer to 10 years once this film hits. I think that's more than enough time.

I for one cannot wait for this movie. I had/have my doubts about R. Pattinson being Batman but now that I've sat back and thought about it, he does have the looks and I'm looking forward to it a lot.

Seanny One Ball 05-07-2020 12:05 PM

The villain should be some sicko like Victor Zsasz if this is going to be a detective flick.
The Batman hunts a serial killer.

Lock Jaw 05-07-2020 12:26 PM

Zasz seems popular for live action adaptations...... he was just in the Birds of Prey movie

Seanny One Ball 05-07-2020 01:36 PM

I wasn't aware of that. What else has he been in?!

Seanny One Ball 05-07-2020 01:42 PM

Looks like he was in Birds Of Prey, Gotham and Batman Begins. Ever.

"popular" is maybe an overstatement considering the volume of Batman there is to get through.
But yeah, maybe do some other murderer.

It can't be some goofy character.

I really think Robert Pattinson could be the best Batman of all time. If you told back when the Twilight movies were a big deal, that 10 years later he would be one of the best actors in the world, i'd tell you you're fucking stupid. But here we are. And he really is one of the best.

The Flash movie is going to introduce the multiverse in films. Affleck and Keaton will reprise their Batman roles in that one film.

The Reeves/Pattinson Batman is it's own thing much like Joker exists in its own universe.

I came in here to say exactly this. We've never gotten a Batman movie where that element of the character has taken center stage. So that has me excited.

That said, I dunno about the voice. That "I am Vengeance" line sounded a little weak.

On the other hand I thought it was "good" to have a more "normal" Batman voice that would be less hard for people to make fun of. Will need to hear more.

I liked Bale in the Batman Begins because he actually relaxed his Bat-Voice when talking to others like Gordon/Rachel.... the other two movies it became hardcore Bat-Voice all the time

It's definitely an improvement over the Bale voice in general. It's more Keaton with a little more gusto than anything else. And I still like the Keaton voice.

Kevin Conroy best Bat-voice. Right behind Adam West.

Fatigue from seeing so many iterations of Batman in such a short period of time. Looks good and I'd like to see it as of now but I'm not hyped up for it either.

Lock Jaw 10-17-2021 01:15 AM

That's probably exactly it.... feel like the next Batman movie I will get excited about is one that kind of skips all origins and whatever and is more of a Batman-Family movie that includes his various sidekicks, etc.

slik 10-17-2021 02:34 AM

He's already Batman when the movie begins. Just a 'still-learning' Batman. Test screenings for this one have been very, very good (allegedly).

I've followed some insiders/leaks about this movie that have me very interested in it...If 'The Dark Knight' was Batman as 'Heat' it sounds like this is Batman as 'Chinatown meets Seven/Saw'...very curious to see how they get the rating to PG-13, which they'll definitely do, there are Lego sets and toy sets incoming for it.

Some possible tidbits about the film, minus any real spoilers, but I'll still put a spoiler tag up

SPOILER: show

* He is in the Batman costume most of the film, Bruce is more of a rare appearance
* In tune with the 'detective' aspect of Batman in the comics
* It is very much a Noir/Horror film vibe
* Robert Pattinson does a lot of voice-over narration for dialogue 'in his head' (fits the Noir aspect)
* The most violent/brutal Bat film supposedly, on both the giving and receiving end for Bats
* Paul Dano allegedly most memorable Bat villain since Heath Ledger
* Seems inspired by Bat comics The Long Halloween, Batman: Zero Year and this one I'll put in spoiler tag within a spoiler tag, because if it is true, it's definitely a spoiler
SPOILER: show

The Court of Owls

since you clicked spoiler within a spoiler the aspect of Batman: Zero Year rumored to be central to the plot involves Riddler flooding Gotham City and leaving it a wasteland



Kalyx triaD 10-17-2021 07:49 AM

The body armor looking like straight up vibranium is a bit much, I rather he dodges bullets. Did look badass with him just tanking full auto fire. The fact that they are hiding a lot about Riddler probably means he's gonna be memorable. Hate the car. Catwoman's hot but I don't think that casting ever failed to have a hot Catwoman.

rez 10-18-2021 08:48 PM

Robert Pattinson deserves this. Twighlight fucked his cred up for too long despite killing it in his roles.

Well, you should listen to his DVD commentary. Good stuff.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-18-2021 10:29 PM

All the spoilers slik posted sound amazing and I got those vibes seeing the last two trailers.

I get being burned out on Batman. We never really got a break. BvS was right after TDK trilogy ended. Then we get the Batman announced. Then Affleck is back for the Snyder cut, plus the Flash film with Affleck and Keaton. It’s a lot of Batman in the last decade.

But, I’m excited for this movie and interested to see how far it differentiate itself from the Nolan stuff while still being a good Batman story.

Destor 10-18-2021 10:36 PM

it doesnt look like this is going to be it but i hope one day we get a batman film where he's actually a detective
