The more unrealistic/out of this world car, the less it seems like any dude with a Toyota Camry could just make a Batmobile. Not to mention, and I can already tell this is going to get just as annoying to hear as it it for me to have to say it, its early on in his career. I would imagine we will get an upgrade at some point assuming this franchise is atleast a Trilogy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Still hoping for failures to stack up and force WB to give fans the connected universe they deserve. Kinda hate Disney for ruining superhero/comic book movies for me. Can’t enjoy Nolan’s trilogy anymore, can’t enjoy individual DC movies, haven’t even watched Joker yet. I just can’t stop imagining Joker in an extended universe showing up as frequently as Loki. WB has a veritable gold mine to work with and villains Marvel can’t even dream of and we get a bunch of disconnected hit or miss one off movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am resigned to the fact that this is as good as we are likely ever going to get from DC. They dont give a **** what fans want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Isnt this movie supposed to take place in the 80s? If thats the case, Im guessing it has zero connection to the DCEU....so another nail in that coffin. The Batmobile doesnt bother me much considering its an early version. There is an episode of Batman TAS where they show an early career Batman driving a broken down clunker that looks more like a real car. My issue overall is, there is nothing about this movie that excites me...and Im a huge Batman fan. Im hopeful it can be good, but Im not hopeful it can be anything more.

Sounds like it's set in modern time. A lot of the casting choices have you going hmmm outside of Dano as Riddler. I think this movie will stand on story more than the visuals.

In Batman Year One he never has a car. He has a normal bike he uses out of costume, he steals a cop bike, and he has a hang glider lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people hang onto twilight but I dont hold it against him. Young upstart actor who got offered a huge franchise to help him establish his name. Who doesnt take that? His post twilight performances are all fantastic, the problem is he does smaller projects that the general audience doesnt see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude more than held his own with Dafoe in The Lighthouse and Dafoe is a stud. I think he will fit well with a young, mildly naive Batman. The one casting I really don't get is Colin Ferrell as Penguin. Serkis, Kravitz, Dano all really excite me(I can't wait to see how Serkis does Alfred). But Ferrell and Penguin just don't go together from a physical standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am kinda hoping that he is a transplant from England that comes in and tries to take over from Falcone and Ferrel would be perfect for that role. I hate to say this, but Kravitz is going to remind me of Haley Berry's potrayal until she makes it her own. I am most worried about her, as much as I like her in other things. Catwoman is just such a distinct character, its hard to really make her your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just consider penguin a physically weaker character who has to rely on his criminal connections and gadgets to be dangerous. Maybe some kind of physical defect? I will struggle with a 6 foot(or whatever he is), physically fit penguin with a jawline. Just sounds wrong. I think Kravitz will actually have a good script to work with. Berry didn't.

Ive come around to Pattinson, but I still question his fit for the role. He might have the acting chops, but he doesnt really look the part. Anyway, time will tell how good the movie will be. All Im saying is I am not excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I dont think Keaton looks the part but a whole generation of fans love him. Same with Gal Gadot for a more recent example, wasn't thrilled that she physically fit the part but then she went ahead and killed it. I think an actor can easily overcome that initial perception.
