Well the previous episode makes more sense now. He didn't have the General's permission to lock up Superman. He went AWOL.

The minute she called him and he kept dodging her calls I should've know what was up instantly 

 

And remember that general who took some soldier serum and turned into NOT Hulk? I feel like that's where this is going when Anderson does whatever he's about to do with Cult lady

God damn it, WB. Shuffling release dates for no reasons. 😒

In a perfect world, Aquaman 2 is being delayed so they can pull an All The Money In The World  with Amber Heard...unfortunately that isn't our world.

Of those, I was somewhat Interested in seeing Flash this year. Sigh.

Bro, the Discovery Warner merger was greenlit.

This merger is bringing a lot of restructuring on all Warner divisions, and mostly cuts, specially on the DC side.

 

Those movies surely were moved because  this.

Looks like they did a backdoor pilot for The Flash's kids last week. Pretty much Impulse and XS were the stars of the latest Flash episode (nobody else). Looks like the Vampire Diaries/The Originals/Legacies universe are loosely a part of the Arrowverse too because they borrowed each other's strange monsters (Legacies and DC's The Legends of Tomorrow). Speaking of which, the latest episode of Legacies was great. they even geeked out on a Dungeons & Dragons campaign in order to solve puzzles regarding a genie/djinn and the 3 wishes.

 

 

 

 

Falcon's Landing was one of their D&D campaigns.

Somebody pointed out Riddler from the new movie wears the exact same glasses as Jim Carrey did in Batman Forever. Nice little Easter egg

[axeman61]

Damn. When I heard that date I thought that was a joke. I'll hit the theaters for it once more before it goes, but I wonder if it would have had an even higher opening with a longer theater window.

Given the box office thus far, seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot.

[J-ride]

I watched THE BATMAN:

Spoiler

+ Pattison's Batman voice was good, I could understand what he was saying and that he spoke clearly.

+ Minimal use of CGI made the movie feel real.

+ The cinematography caused the city to look dirty.  I loved the way so many of the shots forced you to focus on the middle of the screen.  It seemed to imply the walls were closing in as the movie went further along.  The movie had it's own unique feel and definitely didn't feel like they just slapped a sepia filter over the film for no reason in typical DC fashion.

+ It felt like an actual detective story and Batman wasn't the entire focus of the film.

+ Batman was rolling around in armor and not silly ass tights.

+ Portrayed a relatively green Batman, I liked that he struggled against big groups of goons and he didn't just OWN everyone for free. 

+ Pattison was QUICK when it came to fight scenes.  It was refreshing because the former Batmen (Bale/Affleck) were so swole they could barely move around.  He was TAKING NAMES in most of the fight scenes.  

 

- Did not like his portrayal of Bruce Wayne as he was too juvenile for someone in his twenties.  I'm Reeves did this to show that he was "sheltered" but it just didn't make sense considering he had been Batman for a bit at this point.

- The movie really meandered around the middle, it could definitely would have benefited from a few minutes cut out during editing.  The movie felt about 15 minutes too long.

Overall I'd rank it as the 3rd best Batman movie.  It wasn't better than Begins or Dark Knight IMO.  I believe this is vague enough to not really spoil much of anything from the film, but I put it under a hidden tab since the movie is still relatively new.

I finally got to see "The Batman" today.

 

Pros:

The first real movie to have a detective Batman

The mood was very dark throughout the movie. 

The mystery angle was pretty well done.

Zoe Kravitz was well cast. I though she was just ok in previous work, but this was her movie as much as PAttinson.

Pattinson/Wright/Dano/Turturro/Farrell do great work as well.

 

Cons

I wish Alfred had been in it more.

I wish there were 1-2 more big  action scenes.

 

Overall:  8.5/10

 

Batman movie ratings

 

The Dark Knight:  9/10

B. Begins/Mask of Phantasm/ The B - 8.5/10

Joker / The Dark Knight Rises (2012) - 8/10

Batman 1989/ Lego Batman - 7.5/10

Batman Returns/ Batman 1966 - 7/10

Batman Forever - 6/10

Batman and Robin (1997) - 2/10

[locoghoul]

I watched it on opening day. Overall liked it, kinda felt the post climax wasn't handled well like you can see the sequel bait kinda ruined the theme of the movie. I liked how the whole mobster mafia was handled. TBH this felt like a tv show special, not to look down on it but in terms of pacing and feel. Catwoman felt very updated in terms of comics, wasn't very fond of Hathaway's portrayal. Pattinson's Batman was the shit. I liked the off voice cause it feels like a comic book. Idk, I hope the next one keeps up the good work

Most overtly intelligent joker done in films.

[axeman61]

Spoiler

Not sure how I feel about his appearance, but I still wish they had that for Joker instead of what they left in the film. It felt like they shoehorned him in in the final product, but this is much better.

But I have a random concern about a sequel for The Batman that's been nagging at me (spoilers for the end of the film):

Spoiler

What can they really do to top themselves? Riddler flooded the city. Yeah, his final plan didn't work out, but he still flooded the damn city. What villain can out-do that? I may be thinking too narrow with sequel escalation, but I'm still wondering.

 

[HD-Man]

Yea, seemed like he was a last minute addition in the movie just to say "Look, we got a sequel coming". This deleted scene feels perfect as it blends well and actually ties into the current plot. I think Warner Bros probably made the director add that at the end

 

They should've cut or shortened a few other uneccessary scenes in the movie and kept the deleted one. 

[axeman61]

Yeah, the only reason I could see for cutting it is that Batman isn't really learning much he couldn't figure out for himself there. It IS kind of spoiling the movie, since we find that stuff out organically later.

Spoiler

They set up the Batman event called “No Mans Land”. The event happened through an earthquake instead of coordinated attacks but I feel the event will more-or-less play out the same. Which is Penguin, Joker, Poison Ivy and others trying to take control of Gotham while shit is in massive disarray.

Don't know about you all but these are the best portrayals of the Batman villains.

[RSG3]

I actually disagree with every single one of those. They are fun portrayals of those villains but they are all one dimensional. Every single one of those villains has been portrayed better by someone else down the line. 

 

Not to downplay the significance of these roles because they are iconic and extremely influential, but better versions have been done since.

They are the most literal portrayal of the characters you can ever have. Lol. 

 

"what's his name.. The penguin? Make him do penguin shit" 

[RSG3]

I actually hate The Penguin from the Adam West show for much those reasons. I like legit mobster Penguin best. 

[HD-Man]

My favorite Penguin is the one from the Arkham games. 2nd is Collin Ferrell Penguin, he could move up to that top spot based on the new show 

[Lantis]

I would actually agree more if Burgess Meredith would have incorporated some Mickey dialogue from Rocky in his repertoire (yes I know Rocky came out much later)

 

"You're gonna eat lightning and you're gonna crap thunder!"

[DangerousJ]

I would put Batman TAS versions for most of Jion's clips.

Yea both of those Penguins are at the top of my list. 90a comic Penguins decently high to cuz he dressed the dapper high socialite part but he was a ruthless monster when no one who mattered was looking. 

[Darc_Requiem]

Really getting tired of these multi week breaks during Superman & Lois seasons....

Spoiler

Really over Sarah as a character. You cheat on your boyfriend. He doesn't break up with you. You start chilling with the chick you cheated with. Ask them to be friends. Dude gets distant for a few days and you break up with him. Miss me with this character.

 

Edited March 30, 2022 by Darc_Requiem

[HD-Man]

It's like a CW staple for characters to be excessively intrusive into others lives and deep secrets then be butt hurt when ppl set boundaries. Broke up with the man cuz he didn't tell u all his family business, it's like Lana from Smallville all over again 😂

 

EDIT : u read my mind, I posted this before even reading yo post. That chick is so unfair to him, she's full of shit 

 

Also

Spoiler

Bizarro Jonathan, who clearly seems to be inspired by 90s Superboy, albeit evil. I'm liking where this is going

He has ADHD. 

Some articles I skimmed made reference to being sexually abused and contemplating suicide when he was younger.
