I do want fantastical one day, preferable in the next non Reeves film. I feel we’ve had amazing grounded versions from the whole Nolan era and what we’ve had and what we’ll get from the Reevesverse (including the Penguin show). I’d love to see something like Arkham City in live action (a show if needed).
Mr Freeze I think can easily have a freeze gun and such while not making it too far Sci-Fi. Just make him a military scientist or contracting with the military or something and give him an experimental freeze gun. It doesn't need to shoot literal blue beams, it can just looks like a fire extinguisher and freeze things like liquid nitrogen. That would be fine. I think it can be believable enough
I dont really have a horse in the realism debate for Batman. I mostly care about the execution of the ideas, and I do think at least BB, TDK, and TB work in that realm (TDKR doesn't work for me, but again that's cause of story issues and such for me). I would gladly watch something with Batman jumping on a giant type writer or fighting a Kaiju sized Clayface if the movie is well done.But even if Reeves does give us a relatively realistic Fries, it still seems odd to me that those two fellas needed Batman to be grim, grounded and gritty given their respective cinematic track records. A big reason I didn't like the Dark Knight series nearly as much as I was supposed to was because I felt it went less comicbooky for the sequel, and I wanted more with all the essential origin stuff out of the way. It seems Reeves is going the same route with Bruce, at least until Gunn gets his hands on him.
That's going to be an actual conversation between Bruce and Damian in The Brave and the Bold.Well I hope they took you out to dinner after, Old boy.![]()

Technically the DCEU Batman had those and I'm sure the DCU will feature even more. That's why I prefer Reeves to continue with a more grounded approach and refrain from completely fantastical elements. That and because they would now feel out of place after The Batman.It’s just frustrating to me that these creatives refuse to expand their imaginations for a grown man that dresses as a bat. As if that concept alone is grounded in reality.
Give us fantastical elements. We’ve been deprived for too long.

Aren't they going to solve the water issues in The Penguin series though?You have a significant portion of Gotham City submerged under water, and the sequel picks up shortly after Halloween….. which means winter is right there. That’s how you do Freeze. It’s right there.
