BvS Are you confident Snyder/Affleck will surpass Nolan/Bale in their Batman venture?

Still way too early ask me after BvS and JL.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

In the sense of making critically successful movies? Probably not, a lot of people already have predetermined opinions regarding the DCCU and theres no changing their minds.

But in terms of giving us the most comically accurate Batman we've ever seen, a thousand times yes. And at the end of the day thats all that matters to me.

Pretty dumb question to be honest

That's kind of where I'm at.

Thanks as always pickle.

Can't do anything early for fun, cause it's dumb... sigh

Its a cool discussion to have honestly, we don't seem to be getting any news as of late so I don't really see the harm in it.

Its a message board, these kinds of topics/discussions are exactly why we have it.

I like you, but that's a pretty dumb post.

 

[Pickleweasel]

My original post was too harsh, Im not seeing how a question where all answers are based on nothing is a good question but Ill just stay out.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Thanks guys, the film is far away. I was only asking if you are pretty confident with what we know so far. Didn't see any harm in early fun

I think you came at him wrong, but I also think he is intelligent enough to know there would be some backlash in making this thread at this point.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

I like what I see so far, but it's too early to tell.

It's a good question.

I think visually, the comic book accuracy, the similarities to animation, will be there. The suit, even the look of Gotham, will surpass Nolan/Bale.

But as Chip Chipperson says a comic book accurate Batman is the most important thing to him...that's usually not how i operate. Seeing a good movie is the main thing for me. But i have my trilogy, and i dont think Batman v Superman or any Justice League can touch those films. I prefer Batman in a stand-alone situation. So will Affleck act better as Bruce than Bale? I dont think he will but im confident he'll do a great job anyhow. And he'll look even more like the character.

When a Batman solo film comes out, that's when ill get excited about seeing a fantastic movie, with hopefully better actors all around. But for now, i have to side with that "comic accuracy" mindset. I dont expect great things with Snyder, so im going into this just wanting a comic book accurate Batman. If i get that, ill be happy. If the movie is good or sucks, it won't matter that much to me because i got to see the Batman i wanted to see.

Will Affleck be a better Batman than Bale? Either A) i won't be able to answer that until he does his solo film or B) it will be so different that i can't compare. Because Bale's was set in a real world, so elements of character had to be toned down naturally. Batfleck is more like our world in some futuristic timeline with less rules. It's almost a battle between Bat-Man and Bat-God.

 

[mat-chow]

I am totally confident in Snyder and Affleck. I think Bale could have been a killer Batman. Sadly for me Nolan's vision removed 90% of what makes Batman awesome.

^This.

I'd also add that they'll be visually most beautiful Batman movies.

Well. Put

90 percent? That's quite a stretch i might say. Also, you can't just say Bale would have been greater if he was under another directors vision, because Christian would not have done this without him in the first place.

What makes up 90 percent of Bat-awesomeness? Some more detective skills or a better suit? What else? 90 percent? Ouch.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Haha 90% is a bit much. I'll say that I didn't get my ideal Batman from Nolan's take, but I loved it nonetheless.

 

[StarLord]

I'd say too early to tell...

But, everything I've seen so far has had me grinning from ear to ear.

 

[Quasimod0]

I think Ben's Batman will be the best so far. No idea about the quality of the movie, however.

 

[The Batman]

Am I confident Snyder/Affleck will surpass Nolan/Bale? In terms of style, yes. In terms of everything else, no.

I can see Batfleck getting the same kind of response that Cavill gets, in that a lot of fans will love him for two reasons:

1. He's be the ideal representation of the modern comic book version
2. He looks cool/badass/sexy/etc.

I don't think Ben will be the Christopher Reeve or Sean Connery of Batman performances...just the one that feels most like modern Batman.

It'll be interesting when the inevitable "Nolan vs Snyder" fanboy wars break out. Well, not interesting, more like annoying.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Pfft why stand up to Bale's Batman? Michael Keaton was the best.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Don't know and don't care honestly. My only hope is that Snyder's Batman is different from Nolan's, which in turn was different from Burton's. We already know he will be, so I just hope the execution works.
