Robert Pattinson IS The Batman

They should get Janelle Monae for catwoman. Pattinson may be the only thing that would make another Batman interesting.

the world is ready at last for the colorfulness and sincerity of speed racer

extremely otm - if ever a film was ahead of its time it was poor, misunderstood speed racer

They should get Janelle Monae for catwoman

this is a fucking great idea

wins

yes you should imo

a ridiculous dayglo batman in the style of the aquaman movie would be fun

I loved the Lego Batman movie for just that reason.

yeah i guess i just want a live-action lego batman tbh, c'mon warners do me a solid here

if they adapt Morrison's Batman it should be Spider-Verse style

I'd been joking that the Marvel movies were going to use their recent films to reboot the casting and the ending would be Iron Man taking off his helmet to reveal Robert Pattinson. I was so close!

I'm hoping they're going to give us the All-Star Batman & Robin we deserve

mods, please to rename thraed as ‘what are you, dense? robert pattinson IS the goddamn batman’

Feel like you may have omitted part of that interchange, not sure why...

(I was gonna say that ASS was released in a different time but I'm pretty sure Miller is still comfortably ensconced in that other time.)

oh I think we both know

it’d be too long

the dissonance of seeing steven mnuchin's name plastered over lego batman makes me curious what a janet yellen batman would be like.

Janelle Monae for catwoman

FKA Twigs certainly has the physicality, and could be a package deal with long term beau (?) Pattinson.

They broke up which is how I ended at Janelle Monae.

wins

yes you should imo

I mean 4hr40min obv, 440 minutes would be against the Geneva convention

i am no mans prophet nor master aside from one sharepoint contractor and two helpdesk skivvies

I do what I’m told

if they adapt Morrison's Batman it should be Spider-Verse style

Crisis on Infinite Batmans

godspeed wins

I made it. First one turned into a slog not gonna lie, second one continues to be the actually good capeman film

There was a little back and forth but now fully confirmed:

he’ll be good, the film will be adequate, roll on the next reboot

The reboot window is narrowing so rapidly that I expect we'll soon see reboots going into production just prior to the release of their predecessors.

I am more annoyed with all the cutesy internet idiots mocking the casting because they think it's still 2010

I'm just waiting for the 2029 "Millie Bobby Brown IS The Batman" thread

We asked our in-house Photoshop artist to whip up an image of Robert Pattinson in the Batman costume and we would like you to know that person has been fired. pic.twitter.com/p9Eul1xiah

no that’s what i want

This is me casting my vote for the uncompromising Lisa Frankification of every nerd franchise until all of the toxic cyberchuds have turned their attentions elsewhere.

I want the gimmick to be that Pattinson's first day on the job was with that outfit, but he never washes it, letting the blood of him and his opponents stain the outfit over many years until it's a drab black suit.

so zoe kravitz is catwoman in this, looks like

Hopefully the soundtrack is Lenny covering Prince's.

Paul Dano as the Riddler

seems well short of the Gorshin/Carrey standard

When Pattinson said his Batman is going to be “raw” and “not sanatized” I hope he meant this pic.twitter.com/HurnELPEDM

gosh i hope batman kills some people, it's what the oscars want

this batman... will give u salmonella

Andy Serkis as Alfred is the real stumbling block here. Not sure I’ll get past it.

Is he mocapping the role

The technology they have now to create CGI michael caine is so much better than what nolan was using

Is he mocapping the role

Actors have been wearing lime green unitards festooned with ping pong balls since the silent era, it's true.

i don't this we've forensically analysed every stitch on the new batsuit yet, so have at it nerds

Filming soon in a necropolis near you

amazing location for a batman movie tbf

they make a dc cinematic universe and it takes 9 years to begin filming on a batman movie

rip thicc batman, tragically claimed by the void before we got the chance to see you wheeze around in your own solo movie

Would've been great if they'd gotten someone even older to replace Affleck. Hey, Pesci's out of retirement!

Even the Batmobile has issues with gas prices.

How many times did the Batmobile catch a flat?

liked this a lot more than i was expecting to. i enjoyed the detective story, even though it was dopey, and it was a beautiful-looking film, the palette a lot more vibrant than i expected. it also wasn't as grimdark as it thought it was, which is a plus.

The contact lens thing is cool – I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Watched it last night - much better than I was expecting but the second half was a lot less interesting. Zoe Kravitz was fun as "Catwoman" but as soon she got bogged down in the boring John Turturro subplot, I lost interest. Too much backstory-in-convesation, like an early episode of Game of Thrones or something. And some of the interrogation scenes with Jeffrey Wright were silly and - it wasn't a complicated plot but the script made it more complicated than it needed to be.

I really liked Pattinson and his odd mask. Not exactly better than Bale, but much more enjoyable.

SO GLAD this wasnt grimdark - like, at all. Felt like a 12-year-old could've watched it (and maybe even gotten bored).

like an early episode of Game of Thrones or something.

You mean when it was good?

He’s such an asshole to Alfred for some reason, it’s funny.

Adam West IS The Batman

The pacing of the final stretch was unusual – it didn’t really have a big action climax like most of these movies? It kind of slowly wound down instead.

Overall it was a little plot-heavy, but I enjoyed it. Pattinson was strangely compelling, with his emo charisma.

I finally sat down and watched this late last night, which was a bit of a mistake as it was rolling on 4am when it finally got done. It was a beautiful looking movie. I thought all the scenes inside the Iceburg Lounge looked really cool. I had no idea that was Colin Ferrell as the Penguin until the end credits.

While it was not as over the top grimacing as some of the other DC movies, good lord Gotham was totally f'ed up in the end. Kinda hard to think Batman came out as a winner in this one at all (which was kind of the case of the N52 Riddler story this is based upon).

Curious to see where they go with this one in the sequel as they already used the Harvey Dent/Two Face and Ra's Al Ghul in the previous trilogy. I'd figure they do something more about Arkham.

I thought it was funny how Gordon and Batman blithely caused or contributed to like 30 civilian car wrecks while pursuing a minor thug or something.

I watched this again… despite its imperfections (the Riddler expects Bruce Wayne to open his own mail?), I think it’s quite well made, and it has a certain “Batman-ness” that none of the other movies have (note: I’ve never seen the Batfleck ones). It’s hard to put into words, but Reeves manages to capture the feel of the comics without leaning too hard into a “stylized” approach… and I think Pattinson may be my favorite of the actors (not counting Keaton, who’s kind of in his own league, but I don’t like his movies much).

(the Burton movies, that is)

From my memory of the film it's the only of these that feels like a real, living city, and not just sets or set pieces. But I may not be remembering accurately.

I guess the second Nolan film did too (although without necessarily feeling like “Gotham City” as we think of it).

For all that movie’s virtues, I feel like Nolan got so hung up on a certain type of “realism,” that it became tiring… all that Wayne Industries military tech, etc. This Batman is more modestly equipped—he has a bulletproof suit and a muscle car, and a simple Batcave—and feels more “believable,” while also seeming more like Batman in the comics.

Even the costume really looks the part, while splitting the difference and coming off almost as something that might work in real life (without looking ridiculous). The action scenes are great; it feels like “Batman fighting,” not just an Iron Man–type figure using fancy weapons.

Well, while we wait (if we are) on a new film:

Weirdly like Rockstar Games does The Sopranos
