The Batman General News & Discussion Thread

Nope, whenever you see a photograph of something on a screen, be very wary. Setting up the image that way helps hide a lot of flaws.

True, but if it’s from a horror film that I haven’t seen yet, I may want to watch it.

 

[Guts]

What photo are you guys talking about?

That's spooky af. I wonder what it reads completely

I feel like that was the point. You can't really do gritty realism in a universe where Superman and Wonder Woman exist as well. But looking back at that fight, Snyder obviously took inspiration from the Arkham games. His use of gadgets, fighting multiple people at once, and even tossing the crate reminds me of those games.

Well no, it's not the point. Snyder himself said MOS was the most 'real' movie he has ever made, now of course that could be down to a lot fo things, but my point, is that Batman was acting superhuman, it was literally perfectly lifted off the comics, which is fine, but you can't say it's real... because it's not. That's why I hd issue with the interpretation - maybe I wasn't as clear as I hoped, but what I mean is, I escape when reading comics, its fun, it's cool... some great visuals that I or we can only dream could ever happen... it's escaping reality - for me. So to see it on screen, it's damn cool, but...... it wasn't realistic - it was damn close, but I just thought 'wow, comics come to life' and I guess Nolan kept Batman human. A huge example, in JL, when they all met on the roof top it think it was, and Batman swooped down and was like, perched on his knees then slowly stood up - any real situation his knees would have imploded - it's like Keaton's batman, it just worked because it suited that world, but for me, Batman just seemed too perfect in bvs in terms of what he can or shouldn't be able to do.

With Nolan, he nailed it... but it think, from what I have seen with stunt guy batman, it looks like a Nolan and Snyder collaboration, which is what I like, a lot.

It looks to me it says "No more lies"

 

[Gamma Goliath]

After a closer look you're definitely right.

 

[Travesty]

I can only make out the "lies" part.

 

[Zorro]

If real...ooh yeah!

 

[OutOfBoose]

So it ended up being real?

 

[Guts]

So Tape Face made it into the movie but not Two Face?

 

[dhandler01]

What about Buckethead?

 

[Mindreaper21]

I’m wondering what lie do you have to tell to get your entire face duct taped. Clearly someone takes “shut up” very seriously.

 

[BarryLyndon]

The photo is clearly real!

He's sitting in the same chair that
Matt Reeves posted as the First Day of shoot.

And that is some really interesting still, really Se7en vibe like someone else's said.

I'm happy that they don't seem to hold back on the detective/serious side of the movie.

 

[Kane52630]

Maybe someone wants to... HUSH their victims...

 

[Gothamsknight]

hopefully we get confirmation on whether that photo is real or not soon.

 

[Sawyer]

... was this the work of Andrew Cunanan?

 

[Boom]

Some grim **** right here.

 

[Travesty]

What: the taped up head or the Batsuit?

 

[Zorro]

-Falcone has an alternative way to deal with someone than sleeping with the fishes.

-Penquin being spiteful

- Riddler going to the extreme

 

[Gothamsknight]

John doe's been busy...i mean Riddler!

 

[BarryLyndon]

I have a theory.

I think Riddler and Falcone will be seen as the main vilains at first and Penguin will be seen as the weak one.

And suspects for those murder will be Riddler, Falcone, A henchman or an assassin maybe even Catwoman.

But in the end Penguin will be the one pulling the strings, surely not doing the killing but I think he'll take slowly control of the criminal world by eliminating everyone on Falcone's side.

I hope I'm wrong but at the same time I think it would make for a great emotional movie if Batman win and lose in the end.

Yes he's caught Riddler and the killer but Penguin is now the Crime Lord, and maybe lose Falcone ala TLH type of relationship.

How does that make it real? That is precisely what fake leakers do to try and make their bull**** credible. They use existing information to try and make their leaks credible. The second big thing they do to try and make their fake leaks believable is take a photo of a screen. It helps hide a lot of artifacts in the image. I find it very suspicious that our first leaked image involves the chair from our first and only official set photo. We all need to take a deep breath. This one smells a lot...

 

[Zorro]

What if the killer is actually someone like Hush? This is a who did it mystery story and so there could be a surprise villain appearing in the third act

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The Animated Series is in a league of it's own but The Batman did have it's moments but yeah, The Joker..wasn't one of them

The design of Joker is questionable compared to the more familiar design, but that has one of the best versions of that villain.
Delving into the mind of Joker episode is one of the best.

Eh, Brave and the Bold is excellent and probably the best representation of light-hearted Batman ever. So I put it on par with BTAS. The others don't touch DCAU Batman but are pretty solid shows I would say.

It has the most stern and serious Batman of all the animated shows, everything else is what makes the show lighthearted and easy to laugh at.

Beware the Batman has an overly obsessed nut, and I admire that show for having the guts to go with it without making him unbearable and cringy.

BTAS is the GOAT but The Batman was also amazing. The first two seasons are the best IMO.

Brave and the Bold was incredible.

I wasn’t a fan of Beware the Batman. Wasn’t horrible though.

for fans of the Batman.

You should give Beware the Batman a second chance to be honest, that show is 2000s Grant Morrison's Bruce Wayne, with amped up obsessive characterization and less of the likes of letting a villainess enter his cave and know he's Batman while he knew she's a villain all along. I hate Jezebel Jet.
