Alright this HAS to be #thomaswayne from Flash Point. Notice the cowel, the ears are sharper, the top is more round, tight. The forehead wrinkles don't exist on afflecks cowel. AND How About THE OBVIOUS GOATEE THIS ONE IS ROCKING??? Also the wrinkles in the arms of the suit. The entire suit looks different. And just a bonus. Shot is only waist up bc Thomas Wayne carries a leg holster for his gun. BOOM!
Thomas Wayne?
Fanboys... Please... I beg... Stop with this sun, the moon and the stars expectation with everything. These films are not about giving you every single continuity, era or storyline that's happened over the course of 80 years. Speculate away friends but when we see we are oblivious to how and why and in what way these adaptations are being made in TV and movies we should pull it back a bit.
It's like with FLASHPOINT on the CW Flah show. "Oh my God, they are gonna do a universe wide re-boot, for the whole season or maybe permanently the status quo will be changed to an alternate time line that will radically affect not just Flash but every CW DC show, and this mini-Crisis will also allow them to integrate Supergirl, and by extension Superman and Batman maybe into the Flarrowverse! It's so simple and elegant!"
And that expectation set many up for disappointment. Cuz it's not as simple or as elegant as they thought, but more importantly they just forgot as usual that recreating every story and arc in loving exactitude isn't what these projects are about, it also is nigh on impossible to do that.
"If they killed Superman already and his return to life story now includes the JL instead of the four replacement Supermen, how are we going to get Steel and Superboy?"
You were NEVER guaranteed those characters or the stories they first appeared in, in the first place.
"If Hank Pam isn't an Avenger how will they give us Ultron with his cybernetic daddy issues?"
The answer was they changed the story of Ultron greatly in its specifics, which even before then was pretty common in the MCU.
"I didn't see Donna Troy in the Wonder Woman movie. How can they do the Teen Titans in the DCEU without having Donna as a founding member?"
They probably were never going to give you a Donna Troy in the DCEU in the first place and if they do the Titans their origins, both individually and as a group with not line up totally if at all with the multiple origins from the comics.
Sorry to rant I just think that given the widely known knowledge of how these films have been made and will be made in the foreseeable future, that this kind of thinking sets up impossible expectations and usually adds a lot of the unnecessary rancor to the online world.
I would love a Batman series of films that could encompass in no particular order YEAR ONE, Dick becoming Robin and then breaking away, bringing Jason into the fold, DEATH IN THE FAMILY, adopting Tim Drake, VENOM, KNIGHT FALL, Azreal, UNDER THE RED HOOD, COURT OF OWLS... But that's never gonna happen! They put out about a film every two to three years if they and we are lucky, usual with runtimes under 2hrs and 30min. There is a limit to what material they can cover. Anyone thinking we'll get a Thomas Wayne as Batman on screen played by JDM is being very unrealistic, ultimately.
Nah man, the suit is universally praised. Reeves won't derivate too far from the BvS/JL design.Eh, I just worry about Reeves changing the batsuit back to all black. He has that Nolan real world thang about him.

It's good to see that no matter what, some things remain the same.![]()
Remember that whole Christian Bale is still Batman and Affleck is actually Slade Wilson thing?
Thomas Wayne?
