I haven't seen Justice League, but isn't there some hint in BvS or JL that this is the case as well? Like The Flash popping up and blipping out of existence again? Yes. Some quotes from Vanity Fair (which broke the story first) about Affleck's involvement. Quote “His Batman has a dichotomy that is very strong, which is his masculinity—because of the way he looks, and the imposing figure that he has, and his jawline —but he’s also very vulnerable,” Muschietti said in an interview. “He knows how to deliver from the inside out, that vulnerability. He just needs a story that allows him to bring that contrast, that balance.” Affleck got the script at the end of last week and agreed this week to join the project. “He’s a very substantial part of the emotional impact of the movie. The interaction and relationship between Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an emotional level that we haven’t seen before,” the director added. "It’s Barry’s movie, it’s Barry’s story, but their characters are more related than we think. They both lost their mothers to murder, and that’s one of the emotional vessels of the movie. That’s where the Affleck Batman kicks in.” “I’m glad to be collaborating with someone who has been on both sides of the camera, too,” Muschietti said. “He understands.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 How is it possible... Holy shit, how do you make Batman like this? If you thought Nolan was too depressing, how about a Bruce Wayne that looks like shit and a deranged meth addict? Pass. Also, barf. Batman isn't supposed to look like Scarecrow.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I'm very thankful for these kinds of movies. Because I can't stand the overworked look of the Hobbit, but then, looking at this conglomerate of bad CGI, shitty lighting, blurring, unnatural animation, and perverse grading that makes everything look like claymation, I can proudly say The Hobbit is like Kubrick compared to this hazy blur that looks like someone jizzed on the film for 3 hours.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The photographs of Mat Reeves' Batman also look decidedly within the murky-looking realm that is the DCEU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 454 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The teaser for The Batman leaked. Not going to link it until official HQ, but it looks grittier than Nolan's films. I was hoping for a more fantastical approach, but one or two villains look straight out of a Rob Zombie flick. (One guy gets the shit kicked out of him by Battison.) And speaking of which, not digging Pattinson's Bruce Wayne look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Batman looks great. Hoping they don't go overboard and make it into a messy nightmare. I love the casting too, Jeffery Wright as Gordon, Pattinson doesn't look too bad, and I'm glad they're not showing too much of him in trailers.

A24 4,337 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 - The Batman looks like Gotham The TV series but I guess this is what some of you have wanted for a long time. I've noticed that Pattinson needs to punch his adversaries a whole lot more than Affleck's Batman. Extra violence to attract the Gruesome crowd? - Snyder's Justice League looks better than Whedon's Justice League. The 'teaser' is much too long though. It shows ... everything.

Extra violence to attract the Gruesome crowd? I've never supported this type of violence. The pre-Nolan movies featured murder and guns (but then, so did the Nolans), but the hand-to-hand combat was along the lines of the Indiana Jones series. The Batman brutally beating that guy in this preview for no reason looked like an Antifa video from Portland on FOX News.

Edmilson 7,457 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 There's a lot from the comics that haven't appeared in the movies yet. Stuff like the Batfamily, Damian Wayne, Red Hood, the Court of the Owls, Azazel... There's a lot of good stuff in there thaat could be in a decent film. However, Matt Reeves' movie apparently is exploring stuff that other movies already touched upon. Still, the cast is good, the team behind the cameras is great, it's enough to keep me hyped.
