The Batman (2022) Starring Robert Patterson (Spoilers Discussion Thread)

Waits for the audience score.
You trippin!
Joker is a dope ass flick. It's a FILM.
We never see the villain's story and how they become evil.
Not even Heath Ledger's Joker gave us that insight.
And that's what people were saying about Heath Ledger.
The fact that he played a gay character,
how good would he be as "the Joker."
And this here is why I didn't like Joker.
I don't care about why he was evil.
I viewed Joker in the same way I watched Rob Zombie's shitty Halloween film.. we really didn't need to know why Michael Myers became a killer.
The original Carpenter explanation of him being "evil personified" was enough.
We didn't need a Joker origin movie.
Ledger's was perfect because you really didn't know how he got those scars....and because he always changed the story, it added to the mystique.
The Phoenix film was nothing more than an incel CAC fantasy film starring a few DC characters....

Hollywood studios are pulling movie releases from Russia
Disney, Warner Bros., and Sony have paused the release of their films in Russia, including Turning Red, The Batman, and Morbius.
By Nick RomanoMarch 01, 2022 at 09:46 AM EST
Multiple Hollywood studios have taken a stance against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Sony Pictures has joined Walt Disney Co. and Warner Bros. in stopping the releases of their upcoming films in the territory. Each one had tentpole debuts on the docket.
Disney was the first to make moves on Monday as Pixar's Turning Red, which is going straight to Disney+ in the U.S., was once scheduled for distribution in Russia on March 10.
"Given the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and the tragic humanitarian crisis, we are pausing the release of theatrical films in Russia, including the upcoming Turning Red from Pixar," a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to EW. "We will make future business decisions based on the evolving situation. In the meantime, given the scale of the emerging refugee crisis, we are working with our NGO partners to provide urgent aid and other humanitarian assistance to refugees."
'Morbius,' 'The Batman,' and 'Turning Red' are some of the movies no longer premiering in Russia in light of the Ukraine invasion.

Warner Bros. followed suit shortly after Disney. Days before the release of Robert Pattinson-led The Batman, which was scheduled to open in Russian theaters this Friday, the premiere plan has been paused.
"In light of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, WarnerMedia is pausing the release of its feature film The Batman in Russia," a Warner Bros. spokesperson told the Associated Press. "We will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves. We hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to this tragedy."
Sony, which was planning to release Jared Leto-led Spider-Man spin-off Morbius in Russia this April, was the third major studio to join the movement.
"Given the ongoing military action in Ukraine and the resulting uncertainty and humanitarian crisis unfolding in that region, we will be pausing our planned theatrical releases in Russia, including the upcoming release of Morbius," a Sony representative told EW. "Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been impacted and hope this crisis will be resolved quickly."
Russia isn't a major market when it comes to international box office revenue, though the territory commonly ranks among the top 12.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his forces to invade the sovereign nation of Ukraine, other global organizations have spoken out against Putin's actions.
The European Broadcasting Union banned Russia from competing in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, while the International Olympics committee's executive board urged all International Sports Federations to cancel any events planned in Russia and Belarus.
The State of the DC Extended Universe’s Batman, Heading Into the Reboot
‘The Batman’ having box office success should be a foregone conclusion, but the real question is what fans actually want out of a Batman movie in 2022, and whether a multipronged approach to the character can be successful for Warner Bros.

Aliens
Empire Strikes Back
4. LA CONFIDENTIAL
5. CHINATOWN
Do the Right Thing
Tombstone
The Prestige
Bourne Supremacy
Goodfellas

Yes sir. Shit is long so get some sleep and take a leak first. My jaw was on the floor a few times.
Only thing I will tell you is they did something with the sound design because you feel EVERY punch.
oNE
Apparently I was correct when I said this would be good?
*ahem*
*cough*
*AHEM* *COUGH* *AHEM*
I awhile back
remember I had a thread where I said the next batman film should have more bruce Wayne journey and him as a detective
And got killed.
Funny how that works.
I KNEW you were going to say that...
honestly fam..
this is a VERY difficult endeavor..
the general audience doesn't KNOW that version of Batman...
are they going to watch 2 hour two fisted detective film noir Law and Order procedural?
basically
Gotham Confidential?
with NO ORIGIN story?
you talking R rated?
you talking murders...with BLOOD.
REAL VIOLENCE
gravity? real world rules?
hand to hand, knives guns broken bones
No bulky armor and magic cape?
no funky colors crazy schemes and traps weird camera angles?
villains who SHOOT first?
actual dialogue?
and Bruce being PLAYBOY Bruce Wayne?
seeing Bruce being BATMAN without his costume on?
and you think AFFLECK can pull that off too?
DC WB execs?
I KNOW yo lurking
just give @largebillsonlyplease the keys already
DAMN
done sir
It's why I don't post ideas on the board anymore
I UNDERSTAND
I stopped too
I was sick of writing for like 2 different ESPN shows.
I'm ready!!
