Might as well continue the thread here for the DC shitshow.

That's cool. I remember when they filmed the first Captain America in the Northern Quarter in Manchester. Didn't see anyone famous but it was cool walking past recreations of 1940s New York.

Sounds like they have been filming the new Misson Impossible round here as well but missed that. Hertfordshire is going to be used a lot for movies now with a studio opening up

Apparently The Batman had its first test audience viewing.
Around 3hrs and going for a graphic and scary vibe.
Ends on a "big shocker" to set up the next film.
Zack Snyder appears and everything goes super slow mo adding an extra 20 minutes.

The directors last apes film was about that long. I’m fine with it off the story and film is good enough for it.

My favourite telling of the Batman tale is the Arkham series of games. It got the blend right of updating the comics to more modern setting and the right amount of grittiness, right. I really enjoyed the Nolan films but it didn't really capture a comic book vibe, the two Burton movies were decent, the ones after, not so much. But the Arkham games, were like a love letter to Batman fans. They all had a decent story, were good to play and filled with background lore.

Very few films can justify being over 2.5 hours, and I can't think of a single superhero thing that needed to be 3+ hours. Maybe Avengers Endgame? But that only needed the runtime because they'd stuffed the thing full of so many characters who needed airtime. What does a Batman movie need it for?

Actually, scratch that, they need to tell Batman's origin story. Always been a bit of a mystery, that one.

No film needs to be 3 hours long but a few managed to be that long and are very good. Films can be any length and be shit and boring.
I’d like it to be shorter but the length in itself doesn’t concern me.

I think a film should be as long as the film needs to be. If Matt Reeves has made a 3 hour Batman movie, that's what I want to see. What I don't want is for the studio to force him to trim it down to two hours, release a shit movie, then spend two years listening to people demand a Reeves Cut which we finally get two years after, but it makes no odds because the poor reviews resulted in the death of the franchise and so we all just have to wait for ANOTHER FUCKING REBOOT!

I'm sure the Reeves film will be very good, but after the four 80s/90s films which had variations of a gothic visual theme and featured Batman (and his allies) as solo heroes, and then the straightlaced Dark Knight trilogy, I was really hoping we'd finally get a live-action Batman that was a tiny bit sunnier. I really like the sci-fi and goofy aspects of the character from the comics and from the Animated Series, but no one has really tried to do that. I thought with Affleck's version existing in a world full of magic and aliens we might get something crazier, but no; really he was just a dark miserable psycho in a rubber suit.
I'm aware that Batman is meant to be dark, but the Reeves film looks a bit like Batman Begins so far, and - for me - very similar to what Nolan and Snyder (and to a lesser extent Burton and Schumacher) have already given us.

I will see this film obviously but I'm just a bit tired of another Batman movie.

This events got the new Batman trailer.
Also been hearing that it’s more of a horror film. Which is probably complete BS but it would be a bit different.

I’m Hearing that they’re actually adhering to Batman’s no-kill rule, and it’ll be the first Batman movie where you get his inner monologue narrating the story. Reeves genuinely sounds like he knows and respects the source material.

I've never understood this comment of respecting the source material when it comes to comic book characters as the source material is whatever the writer at the time feels. DC with its continuous rebooting make that a hollow statement.

Not really. Each character will have a certain amount of traits, background, characteristics etc that endure throughout each iteration. If you changed Batman’s motivation for instance, it just simply wouldn’t be Batman.

I’d like it to be shorter but the length in itself doesn’t concern me. I wouldn't say that "no film" justifies a 3+ hour length; I've seen plenty that do. But to me it kind of correlates with an increased (and imo mostly not justified) seriousness that a lot of films have about themselves. 2, 2.5 hours is more than enough time to tell a story about a guy who gets over the death of his parents by dressing up as a bat and crippling petty thugs! But no, everything needs to be epic. I blame Chris Nolan.

Batman’s motivation has consistently changed. Sometime’s he’s all about justice, sometimes revenge, sometimes just pure anger, occasionally hinted at him being a literal psychopath. And don’t even get started on the origins. Thomas Wayne is at any given moment either alive, dead, an actual Batman, a supervillain or a crime lord. Christ, there’s even a story where Thomas Wayne is responsible for Kryptonians and uses their technology to make his fortune.

Also Batman killed people when he first came on the scene, the lore is whatever the writer wants to adhere to. Superman is a MASSIVE example.

I guess the one with Nicole Kidman (Forever?) hinted at it, but I'd like to see a Batman that's specifically about mental illness. Like Super.

The Goddamn Batman is the psychopath interpretation, although it’s Frank Miller so that’s probably to be expected.

I mean, there’s nothing wrong with liking a particular variant of Bats more than others (or any other character that’s been constantly reinvented every decade), but the whole “my batman is the one true batman” stuff is just wanky fancanon idiocy.
