Matt Reeves To Direct The Upcoming Batman Solo - Part 2

[Astro13Zombie]

Reusing villains instead of doing Mr Freeze is criminal

Using Freeze would be reusing a villain though.
We actually saw Mr Freeze on screen more recently than Penguin.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Curious to see who which other rogues we’ll be seeing in this movie if the six villain thing turns out to be true.
I could see Joker mixed in there somewhere.

I think Court of Owls would be well done for Reeves but its a story that not where MR has said his Batman is at with at the stage of his 'being Batman'.

He said that? He’s actually talked about the court of owls?

 

[Mandon Knight]

No sorry, I am saying I think that story would be a good story 'fit' for him but given where he has indicated his Batman will be in age and experience, the two don't tie in.

I see!
I definitely agree with that.
As much I want to see that story in a movie, it would no doubt work best further down the line.

Affleck said he wasn't dropping out of The Batman on national television and fans took him at his word. He dropped out as director a few weeks later.

Affleck said Batman was the greatest role and that he'd play an ape for Reeves. He dropped out completely a couple years later.

People may not like to hear this, but filmmakers lie. Reeves' comment strikes me as one that was made purely to placate fans for the time being - especially considering that Justice League had not come out at that point. Affleck confirming that he was dropping out completely and Reeves confirming that his film would have nothing to do with the DCEU would have been PR suicide for Justice League. Anything Affleck and Reeves said during 2017 needs to be taken with a boulder of salt.

If I had a hunch, I'd say this film won't have anything to do with the Snyderverse Batman, and all Reeves has to say is that plans changed after Justice League (even though it was the plan all along). It's the PR game. You say what you need to say in order to keep fans happy NOW, and then later on down the road when the sensationalism has died down, the truth comes out. One need not look any further than how they handled Affleck's exit. This has already happened a couple of times on this project alone and yet fans still keep clinging to these words. The truth is in plain sight.

Even SS2 is a continuation of the first one, but their producer was like "oh this is 500% a total reboot"

They just say whatever that suits the mainstream journalists want to hear and give them the "positive" narratives for PR, and people forget or don't care when the truth comes out later anyway

Wish I could double-vote this.

Most people dont pay attention because it doesnt really matter

 

[MovieSlave]

Awesome. We already have Gadot and Momoa as certified hits so a legit Batman and we are then really talking.

Hell yeah! If Reeves knocks it out of the park and this is tied in with those films and the actor (most likely Pattinson) interacts with them I can fully erase BvS and JL for the most part. Hahaha

 

[Astro13Zombie]

I’m in no rush to see Batman mix with other heroes. I’d rather have just a new Batman trilogy.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I SO don't see Pattinson in a crossover movie with Gadot and Momoa...

 

[TheVileOne]

You can thank Zack Snyder and Justice League for spoiling everything.

 

[OutOfBoose]

If we end up getting solo Batman saga with Pattinson and without any crossovers, I'll genuinely thank Snyder for that.

I mean Nolan's saga was a solo saga. And he made sure no one would ever connect it to anything and could ride off of his coattails.

Is it bad?

Is it bad?

Not at all if you like movies.
The MCU doesn't need to become a template for any major movie or comic book adaptation.

Dark Knight Rises hasn't aged well.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Dark Knight Rises hasn't aged well.

Be that as it may, why connect Nolan's films to anything? New director, new actors, new stories that don't owe anything to the previous take. No reason to keep track of continuity... In other words, full tool set to do something new and fresh. There's a reason why so many franchises are so stale, lacking new ideas. Because they feel like continuing to drag along the old stories, old actor, old narratives. It's probably a strong fan service, but I personally don't give a **** about that. We need to move forward.

 

[TheVileOne]

I'm not saying they should. I'm just saying there was a solo Batman series before that wasn't connected to anything.

I couldnt agree more. Give me a batman trilogy with the bat family. Heck do 5 movies but keep them separate from everything else.

Batgirl and Nightwing should have their own movies, IMO. Robin should be Tim Drake. Damian can also be added, but he should not be Robin.

I agree except damien. No damien please.

Also I would want every character being introduced in matt reeves movies then go solo. Needs to be consistent with matt reeves approach. Let reeves decide the groundwork then they go from there.

I highly disagree with this
