[@omarcarlos537]

And if he’s not at least get roger deakens

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

​​​@@omarcarlos537 Deakins? The Batman has an anamorphic lens aesthetic. Roger Deakins has never once in his entire career even attempted the more difficult gold standard of the anamorphic process. He's scared of it. And he hates kineticism, so really he's not a good choice for filming action. The best cinematographers for this materials would be French DoP Darius Khondji (Se7en) or Polish DoP Dariusz Wolski (The Crow, Dark City). That's basically who Grieg Fraser wishes he were. Dan Mindel does some of the best anamorphic work, and on actual 35mm film negative, so he'd make sense if they needed to replace Fraser for some reason. Michael Seresin shot Reeves' POTA entrees. He'd have been great, but he's semi retired at 83 years old. Amir Mokri, Slawomir Idziak, Eduardo Serra, John Mathieson, Bojan Bazelli, Dion Beebe, Jeff Cronenweth, Philippe Rousselot, Adam Arkapaw and James Hawkinson would all be great options too. Deakins wouldn't be ideal.

It’s quite incredible to think about how much more we as an audience are going to feel towards Oz/Penguin when we see him in Batman Part 2. What they’ve been able to do by positioning the Penguin series between the two films is such incredible layering. I feel wayyyy more connected to the Oz character now compared to anyone from the first film, simply because we’ve been able to spend more time with him. So excited to see how this all plays out. THIS is how you use comic book IP.

What about NOLAN?

[@אריבן-ת1ס]

@nicksharma4200 the dark knight was an incredible trilogy, but it was very concise and was built up in a more cinematic traditional way, of going movie by movie, with the story at hand. In the end there were a lot of details and stories that weren't in the universe or that we knew about. This one feels more vast, with a lot of the stories that are outside of Batman's scope fleshed out in Reeves' mind. He already know the history of his world and knows the future, or at least feels like it.

It's what Batman fans want.

[@itsviibes5854]

10:35 you can tell he actually cares about the characters/movies hence the time it takes to write these, unlike disney naking you watch their shabby mcu shows to understand the next movie

[@TheRandomChatSeries]

We originally was going to have this next year ugh

[@PrestonRōnin]

The next one should be a Batman and Robin movie. The visuals keep the same tone, but the music is more mysterious, classic, and uplifting instead of eerie. Since this is during a good era, the golden years of the dynamic duo. So we start off immediately in the middle of winter in Gotham, thugs are transporting something in a semi-truck, we see it driving from the perspective of gargoyles above as the camera pans from right to left, then we see that one of them isn’t a gargoyle as a shadowy head turns with white eyes, but there’s no bat ears. Next, we see a shadow on the buildings beside the semi of a caped figure swinging from a rope and we hear a cape flapping in the wind. The next scene is on Gotham harbor where the truck arrives. There’s a giant warehouse where the gangs meet to make a deal/trade. Robin cracks a campy joke from the dark and he makes an entrance by swinging from a rope and kicking two guys through a window. This is a younger Robin, only 15. He’s been Robin for 3 years. The music really hypes up his reveal. He disappears as they shoot in the direction they last saw him. Then he flings out from the side doing a massive roundoff into a corkscrew kick, sending a huge guy flying into some wooden crates. Robin swipe-kicks two other guys and they fall to the ground. Robin flips about 8 feet in the air and does a brutal Arkham takedown by slamming both his knees into the two thug’s heads, knocking them out. (He’s smaller/shorter, so he can do these kinds of things without killing them.) He throws a batarang that knocks a revolver out of a guy’s hand and the batarang actually returns to him just like the cartoons. The last ones try to call in backup, but no one answers, so they flee… Robin chases the last two guys who manage to cause a pile of wooden crates to fall on him and they get away. We see outside that the sky has started to turn red now since it’s close to being morning. As they’re running away from the building and looking back, suddenly we see Batman do the classic landing from the intro of Batman: The animated series, in front of them. They halt to a stop. A hint of the original theme plays. We don’t yet see the full extent of Matt Reeves’ new Batsuit, it’s shadowy where he lands. Yet, we do see that the cowl now has white eyes as he scowls at the thugs and slowly rises up, he’s a bigger and broader Batman than we saw in the first movie. (It would be great to see the full intro sequence of Batman: The Animated Series play out at this point, but realistically we can’t please just one specific fan base.) Robin runs to the scene catching his breath, he sees Batman tightening the last knot as he stands up from the two men he just tied together. We see the newer Batsuit. Grayson: “I had them.” Batman doesn’t say anything or look at Grayson. Grayson: “Well, we got all of them, piece of cake.” Batman, who’s now facing Grayson, side points with his thumb. Batman: “Did we?” Robin looks and sees one last gangster running away from the direction of the warehouse. Grayson: “Shoot!” We now finally see from Batman’s perspective as Robin chases the last guy down. We see a side smirk on Batman’s face. The camera moves up to face the moon in the red sky and the scene transitions to Grayson in bed. Alfred turns on the light holding breakfast in a silver tray. Grayson groans. Alfred: “I don’t think master Bruce would be very fond if you missed a third day of school in a week.” We later see Grayson in School. He passes the gymnasium and sees a very attractive pale redhead girl on a high beam doing Gymnastics. (She can be portrayed as attractive since she’s of age) It’s clear Grayson has a crush on her, she’s a senior, 18. We learn that it’s Barbara Gordon and she gets picked up from school by Jim Gordon. We learn she was obviously adopted. We see a young Barabra Gordon talk at dinner with Jim about an exciting story of Batman. She gives Jim a kiss after dinner and runs to her room. We see a small place on her wall of newspapers of Batman and a few Batarangs stuck on a plywood in the corner. She even has one of his old capes. She picks it up and holds it while laying in her bed and kicking her feet and smells it. She clearly has a crush on Batman. She then calls her friend Ivy while looking at the cape to talk about school… The rest of the movie is mostly grounded in Batman’s perspective with Robin tagging along as he tracts down and faces Mr. Freeze. Batman has balanced his nightlife with his persona as Bruce Wayne. He has shorter hair and is a more broader Batman. He’s the closest to being happy as he’ll ever be in this stage of his life. This is before Grayson leaves him, before Jason Todd dies, before the darker times. Extra highlights in the movie not in order- -Batman and Robin doing Arkham style combos and takedowns. -Barbara makes her own Batsuit and we see her first appearance. -Batman and Robin travel to Antarctica in the Batwing to find Mr. Freeze’s laboratory. Batman fights a polar bear. -We see Robin have fun with learning how to interrogate the Penguin. -Robin smiles and teases Batman after seeing Catwoman kiss him. -A fancy party is held. The GCPD are present. Grayson dances with Barbara and Bruce dances with Selina Kyle. -We see a long flashback to Robin’s origin story in the circus, etc. His parents dying when he was 8, Bruce and Alfred training him. Robin was actually excited to work with Batman. -Robin confronts Batgirl. They argue at first, it turns into a back and forth fight/flirting as they agree to work together. -Barbara develops a crush on Robin and updates her newspaper collection with him added to it. -Barbara finds out Grayson is Robin near the end of the movie. She sneaks into Wayne manor and confronts Grayson in his room, they kiss.

I still think it’s a huge missed opportunity to not explore the ‘fantastical’ characters for Reeves’ ‘Bat-Verse’ coz they truly could turn it into something unique and special. I know he said theyll get really close to it. Take ‘ManBat’ for example, I’d love to see Doug Jones cast as MsnBat in his universe… get that man in a full -creature prosthetic and they can turn that transformation into the Bat-Verse’s ‘American werewolf in London’ level of practical transformation effects and have it be the more adult versions of these characters that have powers etc… and I’m not expecting poison ivy to show up and control building sized plants etc or clayface to be a gigantic clay monster 100% etc but they could do it all in such a more horror based and like “eww” kind of way

[@flyswatter0182]

The key word is "adapting". I know a lot of fans don't like to hear this sentiment, but the best way to adapt something is rarely the copy and paste method. Personally I say let this version be what is is. Let a movie/TV show work best as a movie/TV show and let the comics be the comics. I don't think anyone who has read Jepth Loeb's Batman comics can accuse Matt Reeves of not respecting the source material. That said, we are getting Jame's Gun's take on Batman that should be much more comic-like so there is something for people of both tastes.

[@LegendsLiterature]

If you want comicbooks, read the comicbooks. This is Reeves’ take on the universe and so far, it has a gritty realism that no other adaptation has had.

[@arunabhmahanta]

@@LegendsLiterature “Gritty realism” like Christopher Nolan didn’t do it already. How old are you? 12? It’s not that hard to admit that you’re a casual who likes commercial movies. As a Batman fan, I want comic accurate castings, comic accurate stories and definitely introducing the larger Batfamily at some point. More than 3 decades of this character being in the movies and not one of them has been comic accurate… Michael Keaton was a horrible Bruce Wayne, Christian Bale’s batsuit sucked, Ben Affleck never got his solo movie and Robert Pattinson got a terrible script (I don’t even count Val Kilmer and George Clooney, they’re not Batman movies). I definitely don’t trust James Gunn because of his cheap “toilet humor” scripts and his weird tweets about kids. What your precious Matt Reeves is doing is making The Penguin into some knock off Goodfellas drama, just like he ripped off Se7en for The Batman Part I… just like Todd Phillips stole from Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy to make Joker (2019).
