The Batman bros, it’s on!

Embarassing for it to take that long to write.

Remember the opening fight in The Batman, where the white gang leader pressures the young, confused, black youth, into assaulting an asian man?

Unironically, why doesn't WB just invest like $100 million to hire competent writers from HBO and DC to make a five-year plan? They pay millions for actors, but who gives a shit about them these days? The movie star is dead. Making a plan, doesn't matter how much it would cost, would save money in the long run.

Reminder:
Warner Bros. Discovery has around $60 billion in debt — about $35 billion is long-term debt, and the rest is short-term debt and other liabilities.

The majority of their films are box office bombs. Fantastic Beasts and the DCEU failed. Joker 2 failed. As far as I know, only Barbie, Minecraft, and Sinners have made money recently.

DC and Fantastic Beasts failed as franchises,( but reboots are imminent. )The CW was sold for zero dollars.

Zaslav’s salary in 2022 was $39.3 million. In 2021, it was $246 million.

If I'm not mistaken, the timeline goes like this:
>Reeves' The Batman 2 is greenlit in 2022
>Gunn announced as head of DC
>Gunn sets up shop
>Gunn writes Superman
>Gunn makes Superman
>Superman is screening and about to release wide
>Reeves finally writes The Batman 2
Lmaooooo

Obsessed. This is literally the only critic/tv/ has of this 10/10 film

>>212079557
My other critic is the moment just before that where the gang's watching white people play the knockout game on their phones.

>>212079323
Yup, not coincidence he finished the script just before Superman came out

>>212078319 (OP)
Great news. The first was a fun time.

He fails to kill Bella Real.
That was the entire crux of his plan.
He titled it, "A Real Change".
Killing her was the final step. He failed.

>>212079913
>Killing her was the final step. He failed.
It's a stretch to say he failed. He also didn't kill Bruce, but he did destroy Gotham and as The Penguin showed, the city is quite fucked. Further, he created Penguin as the biggest crime lord ever seen as opposed to crime middle management. I don't think that dumb cunt mayor surviving is going to do much to alleviate the very real problems Riddler made reality.

>>212079745
>niggerfied casting
same argument as before, muh blacks
>used the awful story from the onw Telltale Batman game
They turned a bad story into a good one, is that supposed to be bad?
>No Man's Land butchered
meh
>Riddler is completely successful, Batman doesn't save the day
I fail to see how thats a bad thing. This Batman is still just a beginner. Hell one of the most popular Batman stories (Long Halloween) ends with him failing to solve the mystery and catch the killer

>>212080140
It might not, but to The Riddler, he failed. That's why it shows him crying in Arkham. Batman was heralded as a hero, he and his followers were taken down, and Gotham has a new mayor.
I get what you're saying, but still. Gotham does have a long way to go.

>>212078989
Yeah the script they used in the first one was nothing special either. I liked the visuals and pattison was okay but that's about it.

>>212080213
>t. nigger lover

By the time you read this, it will have been delayed another year

>>212080503
Concession accepted.

>muh blacks
They're awful. No one wants them around irl and acting like they're innocuous on screen is dishonest. It's a massive bummer.
>They turned a bad story into a good one
They really didn't.
>meh
Meh
>I fail to see how it's a bad thing.
Fair enough about him being young and still new at what he's doing, but consider that such a movie is made to not be stand-alone, such a massive failure is far better suited for a second entry of three. It's one of the things Nolan's garbage trilogy got right, even though his Batman failed massively in every movie. Although, all things on the table, TDK was insane in that Batman failed miserably in all ways and at all times while Joker literally eliminated the crime and corruption in Gotham- which is supposed to be Batman's job.

Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy The Batman for numerous reasons, among them:
>best ever overall depiction of live action Gotham, maybe
>amazing Batmobile and its introducing was absolutely awesome
>I like Pattinson in the role, his casting vs Batman depiction is on par or nearly so with why Keaton was hired by Burton- he's a man who had a different fate but life brought him into this, he's not a prefect human specimen like Super Soldier Steve Rogers, and thus needs technology and theatricality to do what he does as Batman
>great tone thoughtout
>...
but it also deserves a lot of flack for what it got wrong.

>>212080749
NTA. I might disagree but I appreciate the honesty.

>>212080749
Fair, I just think theres no point in seething everytime a nigger shows up in a movie. I can only think of 3 in this movie from the top of my head
>catwoman (hot so she gets a pass)
>mayor with 3 scenes
>the goon at the beginning
Not that much to fuss about
Oh, I forgot Gordon, but he gets played by a good actor and has amazing chemistry with Batman, so I also give him a pass

A black Catwoman? How dare they cast a black as a thief! Why is everything so woke these days?

I’m just so bored with muh realistic Batman. So Killer Croc just going to be a thug in a rubber crocodile mask? Mr Freeze just going to be a pedo in a Mr Freeze ice cream truck? Yeah, just like Nolan couldn’t call Catwoman by her name. Nope. Riddler wasn’t even The Riddler

>>212080749
>TDK was insane
Legitimately, it didn't even understand itself.
>https://youtu.be/SIYkhb2NjfE
Alfred tells Bruce that in Burma, the government was "bribing" tribal leaders with jewels. He and his commando buddies were sent in to find the jewels and the thief. They were unsuccessful, but discovered the thief was tossing the jewels. Alfred concludes that some men are illogical and just want to watch the world burn.
>https://youtu.be/16Zx9zTXeS0
Later, Bruce asks Alfred if they ever caught the thief and he said yes. How? They burned the forest down.
>...
In telling Bruce the story, he intended to describe Joker as illogical and wanting to burn the world down. But was it illogical that the thief wanted to prevent the bribery of the leaders by what was clearly a corrupt government, and that he had integrity enough to not profit from doing so? He meant to describe Joker and failed utterly, yet mistakenly described Joker perfectly as Joker was fighting the corruption of the government and also wasn't interested in profiting off of bribery riches, which is why he destroyed the mountain of money. The jewel thief and Joker were heroes. "Some men just want to watch the world burn," but it was Alfred, the Batman analogue of the story, and his cohorts who set fire to the world and watched it burn so that they could catch the man with integrity who was fighting corruption. It was Batman who violated the rights of everyone to catch the hero, his own act of setting the world on fire.
But the movie didn't understand what it was saying. It didn't realize that it accidentally made Joker the good guy and Batman the bad guy, or that it confirmed it with that story.
It's sincerely insane. The whole movie is baffling.

>>212078319 (OP)
Doesn’t this confirm the Batman now part of the DCU?

>the script is complete
i thought this was going to come out this year or some shit. so they haven't even started filming it yet?

>>212081813
I have varying opinions about the performances and chemistry etc., and don't wholly disagree with you, but they were unnecessary changes. The "best actor for the role" line 99.9999% of the time never lines up.

>>212079133
Because the movies take forever to get made and come out.

>>212082112
Brooooo, same. It's really lame. I would kill for a grey/blue/yellow Batman who is hardcore and fighting a bunch of crazy, colorful, and comic accurate villains. Keep a deadly serious tone, but stop beinf embarrassed to be capeshit and embrace it.

>>212082609
Dont try to look much into anything Alfred says, he gets completely character assassinated, especially in the third one

The Batman is mid

>>212083314

>>212082963
People act like can do comic book accurate stuff without it being campy and stupid. BTAS did it. Raimi’s Spider Man did it.

>>212082963
Maybe Gunn's version will be like that. We'll see.

>>212085370
They won’t have two separate Batman movies. Just no way.

>>212085470
It was already announced back when they revealed all the films that are part of "Chapter One" of their cinematic universe.

>>212080745
>doesn’t deny it

Zaslav faith in shaken in the DCU, shaken enough to deny Gunn Batman for another 3 years at a minimum...

so it's going to be an even gayer batman & robin?

>>212078319 (OP)
Actual fucking snorefest.
>>212079133
The age of Superhero movies is over. It might not seem like it because they're still pumping them out, but they had their time during the stage 1 Marvel era. Everything since then has been a downward spiral
