The Natural Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Batman films I've seen at the cinema: Batman (1989) re-release for the 30th Anniversary. Batman Returns (1992) re-release for the 30th Anniversary. Batman Forever (1995). Batman and Robin (1997). Batman Begins (2005). The Dark Knight (2008). The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). The LEGO Batman Movie (2017). The Batman (2022). Of those I hold Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Batman as the best experiences. I paid extra for the first screening of The Dark Knight in IMAX. Only film I've ever seen twice on the silver screen. I really want to see Batman (1966) and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) at the cinema.

The Batman was Robert Pattinson. I enjoyed Affleck in the ones he stared in, but I actually preferred Pattinson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affleck was in BvS and Justice League and wasn't bad. i just watched the trailer on youtube- i don't think i'd ever even seen it before. but i think i was just tired of the "dark & gritty" take on Batman. Looks like it reviewed decently (72 on metacritic, 85% on RT), but doesn't really look like something i'm interested in. Plus, was that the Riddler? he's arguably my favorite Bat villain, but i don't love the take that he's some gimp mask wearing terrorist dude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you may not watch it and I don't want to spoil it, regarding the Riddler... Spoiler Think less about the gimp mask and more about January 6 and Qanon/4chan and him being a crazy person who motivated other crazy people to do something absolutely insane. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Riddler and @Craig H definitely summed his character up perfectly. I love how Paul Dano played the part, and Colin Farrell was excellent as The Penguin too. It probably could have trimmed 15-20 minutes off the run time, but it never really drags. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) The Batman made for such a great movie experience as I got to see a Batman Movie on my birthday, 6th of March with my Dad who is a big Batman fan and with Adam who is like a Brother to me. Afterwards we went to Pizza Pieces my favourite place to eat and brought out a piece of cheesecake with a lit candle getting everyone to sing Happy Birthday to me. Won't be surprised to find nearly all my presents were Batman. Same day AEW Revolution 2022 in the USA but 7th over here as well.

John from Cincinnati Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 David Corenswet has been cast as Superman. Rachel Brosnahan has been cast as Lois Lane. Not very familiar with David. Rachel is a great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing, it's one of the only ways I can imagine to get my Superman-hating (and James Gunn-disliking) wife to watch the movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they got the more important casting correct. Would've preferred they kept Cavill, but I'm weird like that. I think he just got the "outsider who could be a god but chooses compassion instead" vibe better than a lot of people give him credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they wanted Hoult for Luther but he insisted on auditioning for Superman instead. You have to imagine they kept him in the mix until the end as a courtesy, because, yeah, he could not be any less Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 All the respect in the world for Hoult, but I’m happy people appear to collectively be nudging him to stay in his lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I wonder if you could do Superman and not start with Luthor as the baddie? Famousl;y, his rogues gallery pales to flash, Batman and Spider-Man. Would people be happy with, say Mongol or Brainiac first and then Lex?

BrianS81177 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 You'll get one of Lex, Zod or Doomsday and you'll like it! Of course with James Gunn behind the wheel we could wind up with Master Jailer or Toyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Guessing Gunn could do a quite creepy Toyman or Prankster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Hoult has now missed out on Batman and Superman. Right calls but that must hurt. Jake Gyllenhaal definitely missed out on Spider-Man when Tobey Maguire hurt his back and I think he's missed out on Batman as well. Gyllenhaal is still my #1 choice by far for the DCU Batman. Come on, James Gunn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
