I'm Reading Your Stuff: General News and Discussion Thread

Scarlett is an amazing get for Reeves and DC, and I'm fascinated to see what the plan is. She's not exactly a down and out actor, I don't know how people can enjoy anything now if they're looking for perfection from people, in Hollywood and entertainment no less.
 
Regardless of peoples thoughts on her as a person. This is one of those castings that brings this franchise to the next level and is a testament to what the first movie and penguin were able to accomplish for the 6 or 7th reboot/reinvention of the batman franchise. I feel like now they can attract bigger talent without the hesitancy of "another batman adaptation".

Who knows what the story will be but I doubt she's just a love interest. I'm leaning towards female hush or phantasm. Now I'm even more intrigued about what the story could be, especially if Robin is in it.
 
I honestly have my doubts on traditional Phantasm. I can buy a Phantasm like role, but I'm not sure about Scarlett being straight up Andrea. Battinson just doesn't feel like he's had that much of a relationship history pre The Batman and its prequel novel. So it'll be interesting to see what the twist is to make it work

Agreed, its likely going to be an all new story, even if she ends up being phantasm. Really, they don't need to have a history like BTAS, it could be a new relationship that she gets Bruce out of his reclusive lifestyle only to betray him after. The twist worked in Mask of the Phantasm, but here I'm not even sure they would make her phantasm. Who knows and at this point I don't get to stuck on any of these things, it's early days.
 
Wait. Wait. I've got it. We have a Riddler in this world, right? Scarlett is a big-name for a potential main role, right? Bruce has a scarred psyche, right? Gordon uses the Bat-signal to summon Batman, almost like using a beeper, right?

Now hear me out:

Okay, not really. I'm sure this won't happen and no one's even considering it, but just for fun.
 
ScarJo is not off type and type doesn’t matter. I find her fairly despicable as a person and dislike several performances from her, but she’s a gigantic get and an almost objectively excellent actress when she shows up.

I agree it doesn't matter, I just mean (sort of like I think you're saying) that she's brings a lot of star power- I'd say moreso than a lot of the cast last time around and has more recent blockbuster associations etc. Just caught me a bit off guard but I trust Reeves with casting, especially when we don't even know the role.

For sure she is. She’s by far the biggest name DC has landed since… not sure who?

To be totally fair, Scarlett is a vocal loyalist of a child rapist. That’s pretty bad. It’s not gonna ruin the movie for me but I also am not gonna begrudge anyone who finds that dampening their ability to enjoy.
 
It also states that she is willing to take a pay cut. Not sure if that is why Emma passed on it because she was asking too much.
 
I’m actually not sure I agree. I like Emma way more as an actress and would have been more excited for her but I lowkey think Scarlett is a better romantic match for Rob? It clicks more in my brain?

I can see Emma Stone pull off this dialogue before Scarjo.

 
Interestingly, I'm kinda opposite?

The monotone call out exchange with Bruce feels very Scarjo if anything. Emma I see pulling off a great Vicky Vale if anything
Yeah, Phantasm is like the only option where I think there's a substantial chance Scarlett was the better choice to begin with.
