Colin Farrell looks great as the Penguin

[lefty20]

That was great, as far as teaser trailers go.

[Isitjustme?]

Boring tbh

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Can't wait to see this new dark, edgy, gritty, realistic take on the batman mythos

[lefty]

If you haven't read Batman : The Long Halloween, just do it

Matt reeves the movie will draw from it and is very detective work oriented

[Medvedenko]

Looks great. Still not sure of the "Bruce Wayne" aspect as based on the haircut and feel, it doesn't work for me, however this could all be context and will work within the movie.

Why does twilight look like he's computer animated when they show him without the helmet wearing only makeup? Is it an illusion

It's because you're used to seeing Batman's makeup magically disappear every time he removes his helmet.

[Chucho]

Haven't watched a Batman movie since Heath Ledger gave the most over rated, drug-induced performance in all of cinema history. Won't start now.

[ChumpDumper]

Able to cope with the ending of Once Upon a Time yet?

[DAF86]

Able to cope with the ending of Once Upon a Time yet?

Outside of the fact that it is an ending that was not created as a result of the previous events of the movie, I had no problem with the ending. On itself, it's very entertaining and satistfying to see those morons getting their lives kicked the shit out of them.

lol trying to imply I didn't get the ending
lol thinking you have the capacity to question my cognitive skills
lol fantasising about an old overweight racist woman
lol you are probably old and overweight too
lol not to mention dumb

[lefty]

You mean Richard Kind?

He would have been a great choice to play him

He looks the part lol, but he’s a good actor

[lefty]

Understood, but why is he Bucky?

Lmao i thought he looked familiar. But for real doesn't the close up of pattinson face look CGI? the slight movement or something is all funky

[crc21209]

Looks freakin' awesome to me :tu

[Xevious]

enough with the superhero movies.
Might as well say "enough with the porn."

It'll stop getting made just as soon as it stops making money.

[ChumpDumper]

Lmao i thought he looked familiar. But for real doesn't the close up of pattinson face look CGI? the slight movement or something is all funkyWhen he was Buckyed up I think they intentionally focused the shot on his right eye and made everything else blurred for effect.

[DAF86]

:lmao you really weren’t paying attention, were you?

You really want to have this conversation again? :lol How is the Manson lunatics running into Di caprio's character by accident at the end of the movie an earned plot twist that results from the previous events in the movie? :lol

[lefty]

Thanks guys, I haven't watched OUATIH yet

[ChumpDumper]

Thanks guys, I haven't watched OUATIH yetStill worth watching. I wish it had been a 10-hour limited series. The world-building is that good IMO.

[Pelicans78]

If you haven't read Batman : The Long Halloween, just do it

Long Halloween and its sequel Dark Victory were fantastic stories.

little worried about the fuckton of villains though, catwoman, riddler and penguin in 1 stand alone film without any intros means shit character development.

[monosylab1k]

Do we need character development? Anybody watching this movie is already well aware of who Penguin and Riddler are. Wasting time on origin stories is the worst part of comic book movies.

I swear I’ll walk out of this one if we get another “Thomas & Martha Wayne are murdered in front of little Bruce” sequence.

origin stories =/= character development, these movies work best when you become somewhat invested in the antagonist. We all knew who Lex Luthor was in BVS and his character was written so shittily he was just a rich bitch. As for the "thomas and martha wayne" sequence hopefully they learned from Spider Man did with Uncle Ben and skip it all together. I don't even remember uncle ben being mentioned in universe until What If?

They are already talking about a sequel lol. DC has the chance to restart it all here if they include it in the DCEU

lol are there still dumbasses out there who think Robert Pattinson is a terrible actor just because of the Twilight movies?

You can't put these realistic, grounded, gritty Batmans next to Superman, Green Lantern and the fucking Martian Manhunter. You have to go full MCU to pull that kind of shit.

[DAF86]

Looks great. Still not sure of the "Bruce Wayne" aspect as based on the haircut and feel, it doesn't work for me, however this could all be context and will work within the movie.

Crazy how a lot of people weren't feeling Pattison as Bruce Wayne/Batman because of looks, but since he's a pasty white male, SJWs didn't scream racism on twitter.

Sometimes it isn't about race, sometimes it is about the fans wanting the character to look as close as possible to the source material.

[Michael Jordan.]

Seeing it in 30 minutes

[Michael Jordan.]

Yeah Pattinson DELIVERED. Still digesting the movie, but the interrogation scene is a proper rival to TDK interrogation scene.

[leemajors]

They still haven't made one as good as Mask of the Phantasm.

[Trainwreck2100]

we already know their plans thanks to flash spoilers, and it ain't that, its much much worse

[Texas_Ranger]

better than Batman forever and Batman&Robin. Still not sure if it was better than Batman Returns. I still think MoF and Begins are the best Batman films out there.

[Thanos]

Easily the best Batman film ever made. I’d say the Nolan films are more fun and epic, and Nolan’s set pieces are unbeatable. But they nail the tone so incredibly well here, make it relevant for today’s climate, and still make it fun. I don’t even care that they blatantly rip off David Fincher for 3 hours, it’s so damn good.

When the Batmobile made its appearance that was insane. The scene with Batman and the Riddler in the interrogation room was great.

[lefty20]

Saw it on Thursday, was better than I expected and I went in with high expectations. Can't wait for the sequel. Wonder if they'll keep Druig on as the Joker.

[redzero]

The movie felt like it was trying extremely hard to one-up The Dark Knight. I enjoyed the movie--especially the frequent allusions to the comics it makes (e.g., Elliott was "Hushed" and the green juice Batman pulled out of nowhere foreshadowing a Venom/Bane storyline)--but damn was it draining. Nolan went for a gritty, grounded Gotham, while Reeves chose a grittier, extremely gothic Gotham. I think all those critics who complained that The Dark Knight was too nihilistic, joyless, and long will have the exact same problems with this movie.

I respect Paul Dano, too, but it did feel like he was trying to top Heath Ledger with his "I'M ACTING!" performance. Maybe the director is to blame, I don't know. The plot was a combination of Se7en and The Long Halloween mostly, with some noticeable Frank Miller influence. Now that I think about it, Se7en didn't take itself as seriously as this movie did; most of the humor in The Batman is derived from how humorless it is. Robert Pattinson's Batman is the same character in and out of the suit, so there wasn't any balance or levity between Bruce Wayne and his alter ego.

Part of me likes that Warner Bros is letting directors go in completely separate directions from their planned DC Universe. The other part sees this excessive, three-hour-long blockbuster movie and thinks, "this might be the norm in the future."

As long as this trilogy doesn’t end with Batman surviving a nuclear blast, swimming back to shore in an 80 lb batsuit, and leaving Gotham completely undetected, I’m good tbh.

I also think Reeves did a much better job than Nolan at hiding all the expository dialogue, there wasn’t any characters solely dedicated to going “WAIT HOLD ON, WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE?”

[LaMarcus Bryant]

*checking in to see if Paul Dano has killed himself with Vyvanse overdose and a random Spurstalker sees the movie 20 times in 2 weeks then almost kills himself as a tribute to Paul Dano*

That's what's been missing is the Sherlock Holmes feel

[Adam Lambert]

I liked it a lot. I probably still like the Nolan films better but this one definitely ranks up there.

At first I wasn't sure about a brooding, antisocial and unkempt Wayne but it's an interesting and probably more realistic take on the privileged wealthy kid who inherits billions than previous Bruce Waynes who basically stepped into daddy's footsteps without missing a beat. And I didn't even realize the Penguin was Colin Farrell until the end credits.

Also funny in hindsight that Alamo Drafthouse played the trailer for Se7en before the movie. I didn't understand the relevance at the time but definitely made sense within the first hour of the movie.

one of the things that makes the Drafthouse cool.

[Blake]

I thought the movie was pretty flat.

Great characters but the story line was pretty boring.

Could not care any less about the Riddler and his retarded motives.

I thought for a minute "all right! No lengthy time spent on the parents getting shot in the alley" but I needed some kind of background on how he learned to fight, be a smart detective, create a bat cave and make cool weapons and vehicles. Three hours and they couldn't give us three minutes of background.

Pattinson gets a B+ as Batman, C- as Bruce Wayne. Funny how this dude with a skinny teenager body fills up the thick muscular bat suit.

My favorite actor was Jeffrey Wright as Gordon. Thought he was perfect.

Ditto, on Colin as the Penguin. Completely forgot who it was when I was watching, which btw I thought the car chase scene with him was really underwhelming.

7/10 won't watch this again for another 20 years

[lefty]

Loved it

Lots of references to The Long Halloween and some Year One elements as well

And the movie featured 2 of my favourite actors, John Turturo and Jeffrey Wright.
They were both great, Turturo especially was perfect casting to play Falcone

And of course, to no one’ssurprise, we got the mandatory Joker cameo in the end :lol

They weren’t kidding when they said it would be more detective oriented

Got some Se7en vibes too

Gotham actually looked like Gotham and that’s awesome

Agreed, I like the fact that he was still developing all his gear and some of it was pretty rudimentary and rough around the edges. I loved the leather stitching on his mask, although that alone means this iteration of Batman would have died within his first two weeks of fighting crime :lol

By the way, Battinson driving around Gotham and chasing criminals is way more realistic than Bateman (Batman, Bateman, Bale see what I did ok I'm sorry) driving and chasing cars in Nolan's Gotham

In the Nolanverse there i barely any traffic it's like nobody lives in that city

There was a lot of traffic in the Penguin chase scene

Also Gotham looked like Gotham

In the Nolanverse Gotham looked ok in BB, but in TDK and TDKR all I could see was Chicago/NY and some Pennsylvania shithole

[Monostradamus]

Apparently there’s lots of people confused, thinking that it’s ambiguous whether or not Riddler knows he’s Bruce Wayne. How is that even possible? :lol It’s very clear he doesn’t know.

One thing that really bugs me in Nolan’s movies - not just Batman, even his other films - is when someone is talking and they switch to a sideway angle the character’s mouth is shut, like some cheap voiceover

I don’t know how you could have seen Seven/Zodiac and The Batman and not conclude that Matt Reeves was borrowing very heavily from Fincher. Down to the scene where they’re reading from Riddler’s giant library of journals, I half expected them to read a passage where he vomits on a subway passenger.

either Reeves had no control of the script, or he's a bad director. The Fincher inspiration buzz had me expecting the movie to have taken cues from more than just art direction and basic plot devices. Had to order a double shot after one of those first scenes when Bruce underlines 'push myself' in his diary, followed by the 'youre not my dad!' line to Alfred.

[BacktoBasics]

This was a bad crime thriller and a boring Batman movie. I was disappointed. Maybe I’ll feel differently on a second watch but if you’re going to make a crime drama it needs to keep my attention rather than pander to lore. Just boring to be quite honest.

Huh, it's been a while since I've been seen the Nolan flicks but I guess you're right, no blood. I recall the joker stabbing someone in the eye with a pencil but don't recall how gory that scene was. I guess it wasn't.

Neither is this new Batman movie. It's only dark because Gotham has perpetual bad weather.

That's about how I felt. Without going too deep into details, that opening scene with the thugs in the subway really set the movie up for me. Instead of using that opportunity to show us why Batman is so feared (as his monologue suggests), what happens is one of the most boring Batman fight sequences ever put to film.

Instead of using that opportunity to show us why Batman is so feared (as his monologue suggests), what happens is one of the most boring Batman fight sequences ever put to film.
it was well known this movie would be more detective oriented, not sure why you expect lots of fighting sequences

Kept thinking the whole movie

This movie is not for people with short attention span tbh

That's a terrible argument. It's not like this is the only movie that's almost 3 hours long.

The Snyder's cut is even longer. Loved that. Lord of The Rings, etc.

This was just an overall boring movie. Full stop.

This movie is not bad per say, its just too boring. It's unfair to expect a movie to not have it's dull moments but for me in this particular movie, those dull moments were sustained for too long a period within a scene.

[Blake]

No fun in it for me.

I love how marvel movies now tend to have the characters not take themselves seriously at all but not over the top corny like the Clooney and Kilmer movies.

I mean I get Batman is hard core serious but c'mon let loose a little

[Xevious]

I didn't, and that's not what I said. But if you're going to make a three hour comic book movie with only a handful of action sequences, at least make them worthwhile. I did like the car chase sequence and the hallway fight (with the gunshots being the only light) fwiw.

Did you not think that in any other Batman movie?

[Reck]

:lmao of course

You're in your feelings again about people not liking a movie. lol

At some point you have to learn to accept people's opinion about things. You liked it, good for you.

[Blake]

Did you not think that in any other Batman movie?

Yeah I think the Bale movies I did. Don't recall if the other Batmen wore bullet proof suits, so no not those guys :lol

[ChumpDumper]

It seems the main DC properties almost seem better suited for limited series on HBO Max. I would've easily watched another four hours to finish a Snyder JLA arc since I was able to watch the first part at home in clear chapters. Makes sense for detective Batman too. I have no idea how Flashpoint could be told in one feature and do any justice to the comics. Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam can have features because no one gives much of a shit about being super true to their comic incarnations. Superman is only going to be interesting again if there is a Black Adam to kick his ass for awhile.

I didn’t say a word about you disliking Batman, I laughed at you enjoying the Snyder Cut :lmao It’s not my fault your taste is so godawful, Hoobastank fanboy :lmao

You've spent the better part of a month crying about people not liking this movie on this account and your other one taking indirect pot shots at members like an intolerant shithead. lol

you've been seething and its fairly obvious. Take no for an answer, dummy.

[Thanos]

I’ve found a reason for meeeeeee
To change who I used to beeeeeeeeeee
A reason to start over neeeeeeeeeeew
And the reason is yoooooouuuuui

[Thanos]

Yeah I think the Bale movies I did. Don't recall if the other Batmen wore bullet proof suits, so no not those guys :lol
One of the first scenes in the Michael Keaton Batman is him getting shot in the chest, it’s a recurring bit of him faking like he just died and then getting up from being shot. I mean he doesn’t take machine gun fire to the chest and just walk into it completely unfazed, but it’s there :lol

we won't have to worry about him for the foreseeable future anyway

[Trainwreck2100]

Also the reason this movie was so long was because shoehorned catwoman, cut her ass out and it's like 45 minutes shorter.

And in that time they still didn't feel like explaining how she learned to fight like that

[lefty20]

Could be an intentional move by WB. Wouldn't surprise me if they are planning to give her a solo outing(movie or series) in the form of a prequel story.

Eh yeah maybe but just give me one line "I learned to fight on the streets thanks to this old janitor that lived next door named Miyagi" and I'd probably be ok with it.

Can only suspend disbelief for so long before I give up on it

[lebomb]

I thought The Batman was just OK. Not bad, not very good. Just a big ass Meh. :rolleyes

You liked Justice League more than The Batman? To each his own, I guess. :lol

Yes I did. But my broader point is that the length is not this movies' problem. I gave 2 examples of 4 hour long movies that I enjoyed that has nothing to do with running time.

:lol Snyder's Cut was better recieved by the audience. I'm puzzled as to why you and Thanos are confused as to why I like one more over the other.

One is better than the other in my opinion. Majority seems to agree.

Snyder's cut gets that audience rating only because it is being compared to the original cut. All the defects that remain from the Whedon version get ignored while all the improvements get exagerately lauded. If the Snyder cut would have been the one to be released theatricaly, it would have been received just slightly better than the Whedon version. Not to mention that it would have never been 4 hours long.

That’s fair.

I never saw the original release so I can’t compare, though I did read about the bad reactions to it. I rarely go to the movies anymore. I just wait for them to hit Blu Ray or like in this case, HBO MAX.

For the record, I wasn’t confused about Lou Bega fanboy preferring the Snyder Cut, it was completely on brand :lmao that’s why I posted “of course”.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

[Thanos]

Who could possibly prefer the Whedon cut?
I mean to say he loved the Snyder Cut, not sure why I put preferred. The Snyder Cut is clearly better than the Whedon Cut, but that’s like comparing eating a pile of dog crap to eating a pile of elephant crap.
