The Batman General News & Discussion Thread

[I Am The Knight]

I do believe it's part of the suit. It seems like something this Batman would carry with him.

 

[Reel-Man]

I don't think we've seen enough of this motorcycle driving from point A to point B(atman)...

 

[antsman41]

That's a bit too much for a grounded take. I personally don't think that Gotham needs to be permanently in the state of pure misery with rain/fog/snow or whatever. Being just run down is enough. Various weather effects can add drama or suspense, but I don't think it needs to be like in Blade Runner movies, where climate and ecology went to **** so stuff is constantly falling from the sky.

On the second thought, depending on how much time passes during the course of the movie. Maybe it can be like the first Max Payne. One long incredibly cold night with the worst blizzard in history of New York.

Portland is pretty much rain, fog, and ice for 5-7 months out of the year.

 

[BarryLyndon]

If Se7en is a big visual influence it could very well be raining all the time.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

May as well not be, but it would be awesome and very atmospheric.

Awesome scene, I never had an issue with the fights from Nolan.

Trouble with Batfleck, it was to perfect, it wasn't realistic... it was a comic come alive, but I always knew I was reading a comic and never saw realism.

And I think this will be the first time Batman will seem comfortable in his suit.

They're pretty much seems to take this movie as seriously as Todd Phillips JOKER, which IMO is the way to go with Batman.

The Batman has a real human element - like to me, the emphases is on man - which really grounds the hero and lends to what was said 'batman isn't a super hero'. It make shim great because he is a man.

Batfleck could have been kryptonian for all I knew.

This entire scene is chill inducing for how well done it is. And then it all culminates in han Zimmer's horns blasting beautifully. One of the many reasons, in my mind, that The Dark Knight is an actual masterpiece. I also loved all the fights in the trilogy tbh. I know people criticize some of the fight scenes but I always thought they were well done, and especially something like the sewer fight with bane, was just so intense to me. Easily one of my favorite fight scenes of all time

Agree. The only issue I have with Bale, and bat fleck made it worse... he seemed a small batman.

If we get a Batman who fights anywhere near like that video, I'll be very happy. Affleck was throwing criminals around the Warehouse with brute strength and I really enjoyed it thr first time i saw it but I'd definitely like to see more martial arts tatics utilized by Batman. I'm really hoping the suit is more flexible than it looks

 

[shauner111]

The rock bottom/book-end move in the warehouse was a bit much. And then he turned into Superman a few times. The punches are good. But the more I watch it, the more I think it’s overrated. The desert knightmare was bad imo.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

I want Batman to not throw gigantic crates at people.

 

[emielaen]

darts are ****ing stupid huh guys?

The Batman: Glasgow transforms into dark city of Gotham as set designers recreate iconic location | Daily Mail Online


Article of what went down over the weekends in Glasgow.

 

[BrownPants]

I went down to the filming at the Necropolis in Glasgow yesterday. They were filming a shot where Batman and what I presume is Catwoman are riding their bikes in opposite directions from each other but the camera view point was from the Batcycle wing mirror. So it looks like the shot will show Batman's left hand on his bike with Catwoman riding away in the mirror. Took some photos and spotted the name 'Vengence' on the clapperboard during takes. Picture attached. So presumably this is the dummy filming title, or the 2nd units filming title.

Sorry maybe I've posted this in the wrong thread!

It does seem like it was 2nd unit because there were no sight of Matt Reeves and I don't think that guy was RP.

Yeah that sounds about right. I left about 6:30pm when they finished that shot, but they were continuing further up into the Necropolis, but I think it might have been more bike shots using the doubles. Rumour from another guy there was that they were also filming Sunday night at Hartwood Hospital (abandoned) using it as an orphanage. So possibly 1st unit with RP was filming there.

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.

We've only seen 2nd unit filming. Reeves being sneaky from public eyes

That theme is way too obscure. If we're gonna get any callback to a previous theme, it'd probably either be Elfman or Walker

Or a modernized 60s one, but Giacchino already said he's not doing callbacks.

I'm kinda glad that's the case and that he won't be doing a modernized 60s one. Joseph Bennie did that a while ago and it just sounded too much like a villain theme

Love that theme. Very underrated (the show itself was only ok, some good some bad)

But yeah, no chance of that happening haha

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Speaking of The Batman, I probably should feel guilty about never giving that cartoon a chance, but how does anyone really follow up BTAS? It was a tall task, I’m sure.

It's obviously not BTAS but I honestly think it's really solid. It's a very unique and different version of Bruce Wayne. Imagine the modern day equivalent to the 66 show. Not as campy or light hearted, it's as dark as BTAS I'd say, but with the hopeful and less reclusive Bruce Wayne that Adam West gave us. Honestly? I'd say give it a shot. All 4 seasons more or less tell the story of Bruce learning not to be alone and for once, actually succeeding in that effort.

I love the last part of that theme, but I'll go with Invader Joker's negative 100% on that.
