The Batman

The Riddler has been done better?

I didn't say that was literally happening in the trailer. It's just the impression I get from the tone of it. Like it was written by a room full of 90lb Hot Topic rejects who keep illustrated diaries of all the people they would punish if they were someone like Batman.

You mean....it's your own little self-satisfied fiction?
Different when you do it, huh?

well yeah...

not like it'scomparable middle aged white guys wearing yellow vests and Oakleys beating up anyone who's religion or sexuality they don't like.

Unless they do the riddler like the zodiac killer or BTK I am going with the comical versions of the Riddler. I did not see much in the trailer that shoiws the Riddler in a terrifying light. So the old TV show or Jim Carey's Riddler ends up being better. I will admit I am betting on the odds, but I am not shelling out a dollar to watch Disney's version of a serial killer.

DC is Warners.

They’re literally doing Zodiac killer. Did you not see the insignia on his jacket?

Meh!

She meant a Disney like( watered down) version.

You can call it the zodiak killer, but is it now?

I thought it might be, but hard telling sometimes.
She thinks weird.

Here’s an idea, watch the movie and find out. Or wait for reviews.

I think Matt Reeves has earned the benefit of the doubt since the Apes movies were so good.

Do you know the odds of it being anothe "The Dark Knight" only with a decent dark Riddler?

Batman movies are a lot of meh and shit. Maybe we have one or two worthwhile ones, but they are produced on such a massive scale. Since I was a kid they have been coming out with these things pretty regularly. Is there any other superhero or movie franchise that has been rebooted and redone as much as Batman?

It is not even about whether or not this is a good Batman. It is that it is Batman. With the way they beat this, it should be deadhorseman. Really, we have seen this before. These previews are the same godamned thing too.

Why is Batman so special?

Does UA have a Greatest Hits thread yet? Because this post is fascinating, in a Rorschach test kind of way.

Little bastard Bruce just had to stay to see if there was an end credits scene...​

Three hours of a dude who refused to do any physical training to play Batman. I think I'll wait for it to show up for free on a streaming service.

In fairness, it's not like he's physically unsuitable for the role (screenshot from the trailer).

Bales' look changed dramatically during the shooting of Batman Begins, so much so that they told him to stop working out so much. There's one shot of him with his shirt off, where he's reaching for something and he's just got these gigantic biceps that he doesn't have elsewhere in the film.

And depending upon how they tweak the origin story, Pattinson's look could actually work quite well for the role. Instead of being a rich guy who trains himself up before being Batman, he could be a dissipated rich guy who decides to become Batman and then finds out that he needs to train himself up after he narrowly beats the baddies.

I got this.

I saw a Pattinson quote where he says to the effect that one of the mysteries of the film will be why Batman refuses to kill. Is it because he's morally opposed to killing, or that he knows if he lets himself kill a villain, he'll basically turn into an unstoppable version of Dexter?

Some of the comics have played around with that.

Wait, is he wearing blue contacts when he's Batman and takes them out when he's Bruce Wayne?

Why the Batmobile looks like a muscle car.

Also, pizza.

Head-collage poster, that means it's getting closer.
