Matt Reeves Directing The Batman

[Joeyjojo72]

Just like Snyder/Cavill/Gadot were all - retroactively - the "perfect" choice, whomever ends up directing this thing (assuming it isn't delayed indefinitely) will also become the perfect choice for some folks. Strange but true.

I really don't think there is a straight up "Marvel roolz DC droolz" bias, people just don't like the way the characters are being handled.

Exactly. To say that the DCEU is being handled poorly is hardly an unpopular opinion.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Doesn't matter who directs it or how good (or bad) it is. It will be rated "rotten" and the vocal minority/majority will hate it anyway.

There isn't enough room for two shared universes.

Dude , stop whining. Have some self respect.

And don't fret, you will get your DC shared universe. And (wild guess here) you will absolutely love it.

That's just silly. You act like there's an inherent anti-DC bias.

The billion selling, critically acclaimed Dark Knight Trilogy says hello.

If WB/DC start to produce good movies (something that they've rarely managed through the decades) then this will all change. There is no anti-DC bias, but there is a bias against bad movies.

I'm sorry you love these films, but that most don't. This does not mean there's bias, just that you like movies that are judged bad by the majority.

There's room for many cinematic universes, but only if they're good.

Dude, I'm not in a mood to circle jerk back and forth with you. You win.

 

[Mysteryman]

Just look forward to The Lego Justice League Movie. I know I am.

That sounds like a great idea.

 

[Saint]

That's just silly.

Yeah, it's a crap attitude. I've been reading DC and Marvel my whole life; I don't go in for any DC vs. Marvel BS--but it's also a reality that DC is, unquestionably, where my favourite characters and stories live. Any suggestion that I somehow want to hate this films is, quite frankly, stupid as hell. The Marvel films have been a gift to the comic book industry and comic book fans alike, but I'd give them all up for a good DC cinematic universe.

Fortunately, it's not a question of picking one or the other. It's just a question of when WB/DC will get it's act together and make the films work.

This doesn't sound bitter at all.

You win DS. You win all the internets. Isn't that enough?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yes, because I made that argument. I am also the one who lashed out and stated there is a conspiracy against a very specific series of movies.

This is it for me. I don't want to pit one against the other, I want to enjoy BOTH, but sadly one of these companies can't figure out what they're doing.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Yep. Sure whatever you say DS. DCEU sucks ass. There is no hope. My head is in the sand. MCU is Allah's gift to the uuniverse. Captain America is the new Superman.

Do I have to keep going?

Being overly dramatic to try and put the blame for what you said on someone else? Nah you wouldn't try that.

So Ben passed, Reeves may have passed, and they started over on the script. Now there are real rumors Ben wants out completely and even if he does The Batman, that will be it. The Flash has had how many directors and how many of the original slate of films has actually gone into production?

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Sure DS. You're right DS. I'm being overly dramatic DS. I'm blaming someone else DS. Anything else you'd like to enlighten me with?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Not my fault you are angry. Perhaps just remember this is a movie.

I think you might be angry and frustrated at WB more than you are us, dude.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Yep, you're absolutely right m1ll3r. Thanks for pyschoanalyzing through these forums. Anything else you'd like to tell me about myself. Maybe you'd like to pick what type of music I listen to. Or perhaps what type of food I should like as well.

And believe me... I'm not angry.

 

[PeterBenParker]

Fede Alvarez. Let him make his horror style Batman. He's 2 for 2 with Jane Levy, let him cast her as Barbara Gordon.

I'd be cautiously optimistic if they got him. Loved Evil Dead but didn't care for Don't Breathe. I do think he could make a great film with Man-Bat as the main villain, though.

 

[Saint]

Honestly, they're just movies. You need to relax.

 

[Boom]

Alvarez does nothing for me. Have to imagine it'd be a David Ayer situation all over again with him.

Precisely. I mean at this point, WB needs to hire the Mel Gibsons of the world. They won't be able to control themselves and run roughshod through any director who isn't a big name.

Sadly though, they had Affleck and likely ran him off with their meddling.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I wonder if we could get Alex Proyas for this project, and someone should hand him a well crafted script.

Took him more than 13.5 years to reach that far, you're closing in on that average.

Okay? The actual point was if they were "just movies" or TV or comics, etc.. he wouldn't have signed on or posted in the first place. Doesn't really matter how often he does it.
