The Batman General News & Discussion Thread - Part 2

[cryptic name]

People are all about crossovers now, thanks to the MCU. Phoenix's Joker was extremely popular, not Ledger popular, but certainly bigger than this movie. If they wanted to create "real hype" again, then they need to make Joaquin the Reevesverse Joker

I’d be more excited if they crossed over Dastmalchian’s Polkadot Man.

@Kane52630 If you get a chance, would you make this into an avatar for me? Maximum size allowed would be ideal.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Thank you, good sir. Much appreciated.

 

[WayneMB]

Pattinson/Dafoe is the bromance of the century.

THE DUDE FROM TWILIGHT?!

This will fail.

 

[Captain Tired]

Mr. Mom and the sparkly vampire dude should share war stories with each other if they ever get the chance.

It’s funny, aside from Goblet of Fire, Twilight was really the only thing I’d seen him in when this casting news hit, but I was still good with it. Probably helps that he had just been cast by Nolan in Tenet. And that the alternative of what was going on with the character on the big screen at that point wasn’t exactly promising.

Yeah, I’ll admit I wasn’t rooting for Pattinson leading up to his casting. I thought he was a good actor but I couldn’t picture him as Batman. But I was happy when he was finally announced simply because it meant we were moving on from Snyder’s Edgelord version.

I’m still a little amazed at how wrong I was about Pattinson; not only was he perfect but he might be my favorite actor in the role (it’s still a toss up between him and Bale right now for me).

*flexes for 5 minutes straight knowing that Pattinson was going to crush it since 2018*

So according to some ppl on reddit, today is the day where they’ll announce the title of the Batman sequel...since the script might very well be finished by now!!

Getting dropped on your head leaves a mark I guess.

 

[Lautox]

since 2005 when I was 4 years old watching him in HP . But fr I was one of those surprised he got cast not because I was clueless about his talent but I didn't expect him to approach the role after he went reculse with his indie flicks. Same with Paul Dano. I was expecting a Taylor Johnson or Hoult actor. Getting Rob is as big as if they would've cast Day-Lewis in the 90s after Batman Returns. Is that kind of casting

I haven't seen that

I HAVE however seen people claiming today was gonna be the day a certain universe would be restored.

Lmao.

 

[shauner111]

Lmao indeed.

The meltdown is beautiful to watch on Twitter. Now they’re moving the goalposts to Comic-Con or DC fandom WBD’s tweet about Peacemaker Season 2 is a good one to read the comments as well.

 

[shauner111]

Good thing I muted all the superhero terms I could think of on twitter. I sleep like a baby now.

LOL Snyder fans have basically become the comic book movie equivalent of the My Pillow guy.

Ironically, after Batman Returns, when Joel Schumacher replaced Tim Burton as director and Keaton vacated the title role, Schumacher had a few replacements in mind, which included Val Kilmer (duh), Ralph Fiennes and DDL!

Big changes are coming to DC with David Zaslav in charge. Safe to say that Reeves and his Batverse is going to be just fine. Zaslav already praised it's performance last month and was cool with the sequel announcement.
