Naïve Old Fart 9,496 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I can honestly say that I have only read one Batman comic book story... and that was way over 30 years ago. It was called "Judgement On Gotham". I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Honestly, I wish Danny Elfman had scored Flash more than Multiverse of Madness (but not more than No Way Home instead of MoM). It'd be really interesting seeing him be put into the position where he A) has to presumably expand upon a fairly minor theme he rushedly wrote for a character who is now the central hero of a new movie, B) expand upon the musical soundscape he established in Justice League while C) trying to figure out how to rectify it with previous musical material he wrote for another character in a different style. What sensibilities he would use to approach those challenges, whether it was using a soundscape that merged the two--Batman '89/Returns '92/Flash ‘90?-- against JL, something that largely grounded itself in the nostalgic superhero sound of old, or something that saw him updating his older themes to conform to the newer vision, would be so interesting to know.

mstrox 6,646 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I suspect that we’ll see brief cameos from the Snyder-era Justice League in this one, even if just as glimpses as the Flash wipes them all away into the Wal Mart blu-Ray bargain bins forever. If they got Affleck back, they could easily get the more enthusiastic participants of the Snyderverse back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Upon rewatching the Flash trailer, it's such a weird creative choice to play the theme for Ben Affleck's Batman from Justice League for Michael Keaton's Batman.

mstrox 6,646 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hard to tell whether this will be any good. I want it to be because I generally like Keaton and this pushes some of my nostalgia buttons, but the trailer itself just feels unbelievably BUSY (which was a similar complaint I had with the Black Panther 2 trailer, but that movie itself thankfully had a much more laid back pace than advertised).

Arpy 4,145 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 How have we come to 2023, with advancements made in CGI, and any studio thinks 'You know what, this looks acceptable to release'. It looks awful. All of the intrigue and power of Burton's gothic Batman is stripped bare by lazy CG. It honestly doesn't evoke any sense of nostalgia and instead makes me feel sad that THIS is how Keaton chooses to return... Bayesian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 A multiverse movie for a dead universe is a dumb and funny idea but I do like the look of the movie from the trailers.
