Ben Affleck To Team With DC’s Geoff Johns On Standalone ‘Batman’ Film - Part 5

It was pathetic. Batman fights Killer Croc and Clayface because it's Tuesday.

 

[shauner111]

There is no Killer Croc or Clayface in that world. The concept was Batman in our real world. So he can't be attacked by dogs? You're ridiculous.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Because that world sucked. Awesome stories though.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Yep, just like a guy dressed like a bat beating up clowns.

Just because not everyone is doing a happy dance about Affleck's Batman or the Reeves announcement, doesn't mean we have to chill, lay back and only say nice things about the universe. Until the films come out and possibly improve the characters, we are still in the same place.

We never said everyone had to agree. You just seem to be getting a little worked up about it. I have some issues with BvS, and then there's a lot in it I enjoy. We all have opinions man haha.

I want a Batman with TDKT level choreography, can't fight cause he's old, doesn't want to retire, but can fight parademons, but is only a detective. But he has to be scared of dogs, big dogs. But he also has to be like in the comics....



Okay...

 

[The Joker]

What's all this bull that Batman can't be mauled by two dogs?

I don't think you can really separate the two. Those stories were effective in part because of the world they were set in. The quasi-realism helped add a sense of stakes and consequences to the stories.

Nah brah. Batfleck would've murdered the crap out of those dogs.

 

[shauner111]

And then drag them by their collars on the back of his batmobile, just incase they're not dead. Poor puppies.

 

[Macphisto]

I don't want to be that guy but the spotted hyena isn't a dog. It eats wild dogs for breakfast.

 

[Greens]

Do not underestimate dogs. I'm serious.

I loved the warehouse fight but Shauner has a point. Those people making fun of dogs, have you guys actually read TDKR and the recent Last Crusade? I have no problem with Batman being effective but that needs to come from his experience, tactics and stealth not his physicality. What we saw in BVS was poor storytelling and dissing on the dogs in TDK doesn't change that. It's not a question of Batgod, it's about good and consistent storytelling. Snyder made his bed but refused to sleep in it.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Lol how silly some of you are. Batman wasn't beaten up by dogs He was attacked. So I don't see how that's pathetic. And when he has to fight Clayface or Croc he often has a hard time doing so unless he gets some help, like using electricity on Clayface.

 

[shauner111]

BATGOD is super boring. Seems like some people are happy with that. Not this guy. The point of Batman is not to just be vulnerable when around monsters and aliens.

 

[Patchwork Man]

Just wait till Batman encounters Swamp Thing and drenches him in Weed-B-Gone.

 

[ManWithNoName18]

BATGOD is super boring. Seems like some people are happy with that. Not this guy. The point of Batman is not to just be vulnerable when around monsters and aliens.

It's funny cause Deathstroke does the same thing, like his infamous beat a green lantern by overpowering his own willpower trick.

Stuff like that does look a little hard to believe.

 

[terry78]

That does seem a little farfetched, but in all honesty I'd expect some writer to give Batman that same type of ability.

 

[ManWithNoName18]

You do got to give him a little boost in power considering he needs to at least survive confrontations with people like lets say Doomsday.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

That's why to me they're easily the best match-up in comics. They cancel each other out through ridiculous feats while also removing plot induced stupidity from the equation. I can see a series of back and forth one-upmanships taking place as these two go head to head.

 

[Da-Scribe]

A Batman 20 years into his journey should not be in his prime.

Says who? Way I see it he just becomes a much smarter fighter. Pair that with what he knows about the world after 20 years and his renewed faith, sounds like a Bats in his prime to me.

 

[shauner111]

Man of Steel was set up as a real world, and "what if aliens came to earth tomorrow?". Of course it failed to do that realistically. If you want that, see Arrival (also with Amy Adams). But that was the plan. So why is the sequel treating Batman like it's less realistic than TDK Trilogy? Because it sure as hell ain't realistic at all for a 20 year Batman to be in his prime.

Sounds like I'm nitpicking. And I am. The world building and character building is ass backwards in this universe. Hell, the universe building as far as the order of the films and when villains appear...is also ass backwards.

I'm starting to believe more and more that MoS was made with zero intentions of mixing it up with more superheroes. And then they probably wanted to merge it with Nolans realistic world. Until Nolan said no. Then Zack decided to reboot with Affleck, and tried to physically make him closer to the super-powered heroes around him in order for him to co-exist and even fight them (like Superman). Which is absolutely hilarious considering how stupid Bruce is in this world. Which you know, is the whole point of Batman in Justice League. His brain is the useful tool.

Everything is a major contradiction because there's no thought. They're making it up as they go along. Like the X-Men franchise with their continuity issues.

Batfleck takes bullets to the head, and delivers bullets to the head of enemies. That says it all. He's made to be like a physical God instead of a man. And then he acts like a doofus. So in reality, his physicality and freakish strength is making up for how idiotic his brain is.

That's the DCEU Batman. I hope Dick Grayson is a little more human and a little smarter if he takes the cowl.

Oh one more thing. Every BvS lover always defends the fact that Bruce is supposed to be super drained, tired as hell throughout the movie because he's 20 years in the game. So he's 45, tired as f**k and he's apparently able to do 3 gigantic fights in a row and still maintain stamina. Yeah, that's Snyder logic.

Oh one more thing. Every BvS lover always defends the fact that Brice is supposed to be super drained, tired as hell throughout the movie because he's 20 years in the game. So he's 45, tired as f**k and he's apparently able to do 3 gigantic fights in a row and still maintain stamina. Yeah, that's Snyder logic.

Psychologically. Emotionally. Morally.

Not physically.

I've not heard a single statement online about a physically underfit or out-of-shape Batman in the 4 years BvS was in rampant discussion. Which should be obvious, because it simply is not Batman at its most basic concept.
