Reminds me of when they made TDK with the mindset that it could’ve been the very last film of that Bat-verse

Is Reeves going full on horror for this one?

Which Batman villain would be considered scary

We getting Scarecrow again Arkham Knight style

Hugo Strange since it’s someone that’s never been done?

Hush maybe

Oh true about Scarecrow.. Yeah it would be somewhat slightly disappointing to have the same villains from the Nolan-verse.
Speaking of which, Reeves’ Joker does look creepy

One potential issue with this kind of portrayal is: can it sustain a whole movie or will his act get old???

This doesn't really help us though. Every single option can be bent towards some "scary" angle. Like Riddler was already done in a creepier way than he's normally depicted

Idk if I would associate horror with Hugo Strange tbh, but with the right actor they can make him a formidable figure..
Dave Bautista

Sure but it’s fun to speculate about Batman’s rich lore

We gotta dig more on who would make for an interesting potential 3 hour detective film. These are about Bruce/Batman trying to figure out who this person doing XYZ is and some overlap with his life or Gotham.

Riddler only got 20 minutes of screen time and Reeves said pre-Emmys villains aren't going to dominate his films like they have previous Batman sequels. What character could occupy such small space but have actions that dominate the film? And is one who hasn't "really" been done in a film?

My hope is still Phantasm (or Reaper which its based off).

Really feel like both have natural overlaps with Bruce becoming more of a socialite, "finding it hard to be Batman" (as Reeves has mentioned) and not being done in (live action) film before.

make phantasm be a talon like assassin for the court of owls and give penguin jokers role in her story

imagining a life where I would’ve watched OBAA and this in one weekend

Can't believe Matt made some mid smh

Crazy how this ended up being The Smashing Machine

Anyone else in line?

Colin talking about this like it's the second coming of Christ

5 year wait, it better be

Chill Colin it’s just a cape flick
I’m not finna cry in theatres over a Batman movie

Agreed

They got unlucky having the March date and nearly a year passed before it was time for the ceremony. Frazier also won the Oscar for Dune Pt 1 right around the time The Batman released. They could have given him a nom again but they also weren't pressed and i don't think he was by this point either.

I feel like a lot of this is why they're insistent on an October date this time no matter what. WB won't let this move from awards season

Heard the villain is bane

hell na
