BayRaider Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 20 minutes ago, 43M said: While he is a good actor and I am cautiously optimistic about The Batman, he doesn't actually look or seemingly play the part of Bruce Wayne at all. The Batman parts look great, but every time they show him as Bruce Wayne, I am underwhelmed. Its not necessarily Pattinson's fault, but the character just seems like a depressed emo based on the trailers. Bruce Wayne has his brooding moments, but he doesnt walk around constantly looking all doom and gloom and seemingly lacking self confidence. Maybe the trailers are a bit misleading, but Im not happy with how he was portrayed in the trailers. Agreed. Bruce Wayne is suppose to be an extremely confident rich guy, has charisma and can charm people, but also can be a bit of a **** as well. While we haven't seen the full Bruce Wayne scenes yet, his role screams full-on introvert with no charisma and lackluster confidence... but I guess we'll find out.

I rewatched a lot of the Nolan trailers because I do think those flicks nailed Bruce's public face and it was a very similar issue. So I guess, reason to hope? For instance, the scene when in Begins when Bruce shows up with two chicks and gets wet with them is pure playboy happy go lucky Bruce but that scene in the trailer is him looking sad talking to Rachel. Similar thing in Dark Knight trailer they show the dinner with Rachel and Harvey but only serious faced Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 What is with Batman movies being the only ones that motivate me to go to a movie theater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most movies are super underwhelming, even Marvel’s best imo, and Batman movies are usually interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kilmer has Christopher Nolan directing him/writing the movie and not Joel Schumacher, then i'd put money down he would have been the best Batman. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, i'm pretty amped to go see the next Dr Strange on the big screen. Probably the most excited i've been to see a movie in theaters since Endgame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There the one line stinger at the end of the trailer after the date announcement. Most of the trailer is him whining and complaining about his dead parents and how he wants vengeance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont disagree. Even with Forevers issues, he had some great moments and lines. This part showcases how good he could have been.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you’re right. I think my memory was influenced by following Begins so closely at the time, including reading the leaked script beforehand. So I knew they were going to play up that persona unlike the Burton films. The stinger just resonated more in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That confident, wise Bruce Wayne is something we always see sure, but it’s like 10 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
