The Batman General News & Discussion Thread

[TheSmoothKnight]

Looks like Saturday is the last day of filming at Cardington. Don’t know if they’re going to return there or not. This month of filming went by fast.

Well, speak of the devil, a new interview came out in which Robert literally compared this movie's script and how he wants to approach it to Joker.



Nieuwe Batman Robert Pattinson: ’Faalangst grote drijfveer’



The interview was done like a month and a half ago or 2 months or something like that.

" I go the border with my Batman "

What if people covered in blood is actually people covered in red paint as a message? Blood on your hands, stuff like that. IMO, goes well with that probably real "no more lies" pic.

 

[COCOS]

I’d only want an R rated Batman if they went full on horror a la Arkham Asylum: ASHOSE. I don’t need curse words or bloody violence.

bruce basically saw his parents get murdered in cold blood infront of him when he was like 10 years old & he lives in a chigago lookalike city where murders & crime are commited everyday, so what's up with this whole pg13 or i dont want bloody violence stuff ?
batman world is a whole rated R experience, its not peter parker we talkin about here, most spiderman fans are kids, while its the opposite for Batman, its not gotta be a problem for the box office

Nah, Batman is still a spandex and underoos hero just as Spidey at his core, with just about the same fan base. He's timeless for a reason.

 

[Boom]

Did we already know this?

No, I think that is new. Hopefully this will be Matt Reeves and not the second unit filming.

batman had 5-10 years old fans that cant wait to see his movies, when he fight people with Machine guns & where most of the subject matter is Adult friendly ?
u think families gonna go see matt reeves take on batman next year ?.there's a huge tone difference for both characters.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I wonder if Batman will be an urban legend in Gotham, or pretty public knowledge. Or maybe we'll see the transition from one to the other in the film.

I would love kind of both, like everyone heard of a Batman or a vigilante but nobody saw him so he pretty much is a legend, kind of like the beginning of TDK but for a full movie.

Plus if this story is from Batman and Gordon's POV, we may see all of this from their perspective. I don't think we'll have a tons of scenes without those character, it keeps the suspense if you only know what they know and you go along the journey with them.

more rain reaffirms my belief that this movies look is gonna be very David Fincher inspired Especially with Se7en.

 

[BarryLyndon]

Pretty cool. Goes in line with those se7en theory where it may rain all the time in Gotham.

Still too early in production to say though.

 

[shauner111]

Rainy autumn, in a gothic looking city. Jesus. Take my money.

 

[Nemeres]

That's an awesome bit of Gotham. Hope they use that exact that corner at the same time of day.

A pretty great arc for Batman would be going from urban legend vigilante to the hero of Gotham City. That sort of exists as a sketch in the first Tim Burton movie, but it really works for the character and I'd be into seeing it here.

I mean that's essentially his arc in Batman Begins, continuing into TDK.

 

[The Guard]

WB could easily make an Elseworlds style R-rated Batman movie, they don’t need to make the mainstream films R.

Batman Returns might be the only movie where Batman doesn't break any kind of glass himself.

He punches out the Batmobile TV screen.

 

[BarryLyndon]

From the look of It may be more of a personal achievement and developpment than becoming the hero of Gotham City.

It can only be him learning more and more about the purpose of his actions and that he can't save everyone by himself.

Or just a classic detective arc where the main character learns about himself while inspecting his case and it creates doubt in his action and morality. (Maybe he learns Thomas Wayne was corrupt and affiliated with the Falcone!)

And since it hasn't been done a lot, Batman may have a very simple arc and Gordon could be the main one and backbone of the story.

It could go so many ways but let's not forget Matt Reeves specified that this was a POV story, so we may only sees what the main characters (Gordon and Batman) witnesses in ''real time'', ala se7en or Joker where you're always with the protagonist.

 

[Invader Joker]

He specifically said it was a story from Batman's PoV, so that's interesting. Kinda hope he keeps that throughout the whole trilogy.

 

[cryptic name]

I mean that's essentially his arc in Batman Begins, continuing into TDK.

I feel like Batman's changing relationship to the city is more an aspect of Dark Knight and that his transition from obscurity to an established fixture of the city is more something that takes place off-screen between Begins and TDK. Whereas in '89, the narrative of the film itself involves Batman being forced out of the shadows and urban legend status as he responds to the actions of The Joker and ultimately ends in the public unveiling of the Batsignal as the city embraces him. But yeah, about this new movie....haha

 

[Spider-Aziz]

He punches out the Batmobile TV screen.

I forgot one of the most memorable moments in that movie.
