If you saw the Batman idk why you’d want that world to be fantastical .

I like Batman to you know look like a MAN instead of one of theirs weird emo kids in high school 🤣💀 blud has zero testosterone 📉

[@dillonneal7821]

For sure, the rumors of a grounded mr. Freeze sounded awesome

[@iansmart4158]

Because THE BATMAN is goofy as hell. And is built for some fantastical gothic horror stuff. Nothing about a world perpetually raining and overcast days reality to me. The movie feels like it comes from a Grant Morrison comic book (or at least straight out of the animated series). And those things never felt out of place when bro had to fight THE MAN BAT or something. Give us MAN BAT, Reeves!

[@wileytheacmesalesman7760]

The Batman was kind of grounded. It was about as grounded as The Crow with Brandon Lee. To be honest, I’m sick of “grounded” or based in our reality Batman. Come on guys, give us something fun and different. I would be totally fine with a gothic, supernatural, horror influenced detective story. Nobody really wants Batman to feel 100% realistic and believable.

[@jaylenjayden9305]

why wouldn't you want it to be fantastical

[@gqd1975]

Court of owls is a great villain. I hope they use them in the film.

[@dahhmlife]

If Hal becomes Parallax at some point in the story then Brolin is perfect.

[@josephweeks3786]

Winston is spot on about Seven and Freemans narration. Leads to one of my favorite ending lines in a movie. The world is a fine place and worth fighting for. I agree with the latter part of that statement.

[@LOGAN_BURNS]

I do wish the Matt reeves’ ‘The Batman’ universe would so some form of fantastical elements. Like Id love to see his universes version of man bat ( played by Doug Jones of course) because I think his universe would suit that transformation being more disturbing and violent almost like a man bat ‘American Werewolf in London’ type practical transformation… stuff like this being more adult and intense… but a man bat character being the one that absolutely pushes it to the limit or even breaks that universe reality rule yknow and it does seem like from his words he kind of will but he’ll change it and morph it to fit his grounded world so there won’t be a gigantic dude completely made of clay or poison ivy controlling building sized plants etc but will pick and choose ones they can that will fit

[@MavvyMaloneTV]

“Every Batman fan is going to be eating soon”!! Amen Coy! Amen! 🙏🏾💯❣️

[@jeffmetcalf1733]

Dude! This discussion and news is so exciting and I’m geeking out so much on this great conversation you guys are having!

[@Humanipathic]

Give me Court of Owls, The Talon, their element for control and order and corruption AND chaos and unpredictability of Keoghan’s Joker (he’s already teased to be in ) juxtaposed in same film. Even if background. How Court would deal with him, Bruce/Batman having to deal with both sides of it.

[@andrewcook3983]

Maybe Holland is shooting something for Daredevil: Born Again. Matt Murdoch did appear in Spiderman: No Way Home, so he may be returning the favour. Also, if Spiderman is a street level hero now, a teamup with ol' horn head is understandable and certainly happened in the comics.

[@jdashy23]

God bless for the early upload! Great show guys!

[@hito157]

The two-person thumbnail meta is probably good but I really thought Winston was absent today. Glad its the whole crew.

Sgt Rock could feature the JSA which would be really cool.

I'm honestly just very excited about The Batman Part 2.

[@aaronthecreative3041]

[@ChrisTheAspergerGuy]

I don't understand this obsession with keeping Batman realistic and grounded when it takes place in a universe that's anything but that. Comics have always had grounded and fantastical elements existing together. There's no reason why Reeves' Batman can't be in the DCU. If Batman is gonna be in the DCU anyway, then why not include the one we got? Nobody expects everything to be fantastical. That said, I think having the Court Of Owls as the villains in Batman 2 is an awesome idea. I respectfully have to correct Coy when he said they haven't been featured in any live-action DC project. That's not true. They were the big bad in Gotham Knights on The CW last year and they were pretty scary. It was a good show too. Sucks it only lasted one season. As far as the DCU already being an established universe, I like that approach. Granted, I feel origin stories are usually the better way to go, but we already know the backstories of most of these characters anyway and trying to copy Marvel is one of the things that sunk the DCEU, so I'm cool with it. Also, if Josh Brolin would be playing an older Hal Jordan who's been through some shit and is mentoring a younger Green Lantern, then that makes a lot more sense. I'm on board with that casting if he takes the role. And I don't know what to make of whatever Tom Holland is working on. If Spider-Man 4 doesn't begin production until next year, then he must be working on something else, probably a cameo in an MCU project of some kind.

[@zaneplatt3533]

I really like the idea of the Court of Owls because it also gives Reeves the opportunity to showcase Pattinsons Bruce Wayne more. The first film was about him becoming a hero as batman, the second can be about him becoming a hero as Bruce and the third marries both

[@robertorodriguez9110]

The COURT OF OWLS story line is great idea but I think it works best with an older BATMAN who's been at it for at least 10 years. You can easily make it a 2 part story but definitely an older BATMAN who finds out the complexity of how and why he's been "swimming in place" no matter how much, how hard and how long he's been fighting crime.

[@ghostmkc4045]

lolol you havent read the comics then cuz it happened practically year one for Batman.

[@robertorodriguez9110]

@@ghostmkc4045 I have read Scott Snyder's New 52 BATMAN run and am a proud owner of the 2 omni's. If I remember correctly he had been BATMAN for about 5 years in the story. I might be wrong its been a while since I've read it. I guess you obviously didn't notice in my original comment when I said "I think it works best".

[@gustavoolivieri6568]

Kristian.... this introduction sounded like "Sheldon Cooper presents Fun with Flags"!!! 😄😄 You should rethink that! lol

[@rogersjgregory]

They did The Court of Owls in the show Gotham. Let’s hope Matt Reeves can do a better job.

[@WickedArt5]

I'm just as excited as Winston for the Court of Owls AKA: The Owl Foundation hahaha. This has me super excited for this next the batman movie. As far as the Tom Holland picture, I'm gonna be the odd man out and say it's Uncharted 2 but that may be a long shot. Great show today!

[@Smallvillefreak]

Feels too early for the Court of Owls. Bruce hasn’t been shown as a fully established seasoned veteran hero yet. I feel like Court of Owls would be a good third movie antagonist that is introduced at the end of the second movie.

[@Ronruk]

Some people have this weird thought that fantastical means goofy. It just means fantasy like in the Arkham games and comics where Batman performs superhuman feats with crazy gadgets and fights like super ninja. Making Batman fantastical like he is doesn’t mean removing the dark and grittiness of the character and turning him campy.

[@matthewmartin4394]

Guys, the COO is still only a rumor/theory. You're treating it as though it's a definitive thing at this point. It certainly feels quite likely, granted. Just don't get your hopes too high cuz it'd be a longer way to fall.

[@Justice_Not_Vengeance]

I was kind of hoping for a clay face and two face story and make it about loss of true beauty and becoming who you’re meant to be. But I’m down for court of owls. I’m very curious if they will add a Robin because in the animated movie Robin (Damien) is a big part of the story but they can definitely do it without him since it’s about the Wayne’s and the more oligarch type families.

[@geesterfunk]

[@billymoore7182]

The Court of Owls have been used in the Gotham TV series. But yes you're right Cory, they have never been used in a live action film. So I agree that The Batman 2 definitely has potential if that's the direction Matt Reeves goes.

[@mladenkulic446]

[@BIGSchuZ]

I just wanna live long enough to see the court of owls in a serious batman movie. Can't wait

[@chriscossin]

I think Brolin will do a great job if he’s cast as Hal. I also think that John Krasinski or James Marsden could also do well too since they’re also over 30 yrs so they could be good options too if they were considered.

[@williamdaniels9728]

I kind of hope that if The Penguin is a limited series (a one and done) that after The Batman 2 & presumably The Batman 3 we get unique spin-off shows or limited series for 3 different villains in total to bridge each movie. The Penguin, Scarecrow, The Joker (Barry Keoghan) - upon a re-watch on HBOMax in future years it will appear as a larger pocket universe (Sopranos/Wire vibe shows) than just a trilogy of movies. As soon as they are finished, they should introduce James Gunn Batman into the DCU which admittingly will come much later than people are expecting but will keep the focus on Superman and other heroes & stories James Gunn is trying to tell. He doesn't need to rush Batmans DCU appearance as it will definitely be more fantastical than the take that Matt Reeves is taking. I do hope he casts Alan Ritchison, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jensen Ackles or maybe even Alexander Skarsgård. They will all probably be much older then (2029+, post The Batman 3) but I'm still betting they will be the best casting decisions then.

[@deezykane]

They did the music-mental break tremendously well in ‘The Voices’ with Ryan Reynolds. Movie that is seriously overlooked ✌️

I’m gonna make a bold guess and say that Holland is shooting for beyond the spider verse… after all the last movie did incorporate a live action character🤷‍♂️

[@venenders170]

Could Tom Holland just be shooting a post credit or final scene in Fantastic 4. It’s the movie that is shooting right now and Peter could be interviewing or interning with Reed or maybe meeting Johnny for the first time as they’re good friends in the comics. Spider-Man has always had a close relationship with the Fantastic Four sometimes being a 5th member or a replacement.

Randolph dislikes Gunn so much that she said it would cheapen the Lex Luthor character to have him appear in Peacemaker 😅

[@bgko91880]

I hope they do the backstory better than they did the Riddler and Bruce's parents. I thought the Riddler's backstory sucked in the Batman.

[@qhorton6743]

If you haven't yet, you should check out the Riddler: Year One 6-part tie-in comic (which is canon to the movie) that focuses on his upbringing and acts as a prequel of sorts. Paul Dano himself co-wrote it

[@jeffreyroedel9804]

Court of Owls is a great idea if this is just going to be a 3-part series. Introducing and delving into it in part 2, defeating a villain in part 2, but leaving several Court of Owls threads and the Court of Owls mastermind still open as a big cliffhanger for part 3. I think that's a smart way to go, and would separate it well from the Nolan trilogy. Give it all the Spectre and Eyes Wide Shut creepy secret society vibes! Just please leave Keogan's joker out of this!

[@ManChild1980]

Saying Grace Randolph isn't the most reliable source is being polite 😂

[@ronsworld250]

I love the Court of Owls as a foe in B2. I still like Chris Pine as Hal Jordan. I miss the BIG THING theme music. I loved that catchy tune.

[@schlock159]

Hoping the Court of Owls isn't too similar to all the shadowwy corruption we already dealt with in The Batman 1 with the Wayne Foundation. Also we JUST had a trilogy of super grounded reality Batman with Nolan's movies, I was hoping Reeves' movies would get a little bit wacky.

[@peteparker22]

Didn't the Court of Owls comics storyline include Damien Wayne? Or maybe that was just the animated movie

[@Mkeatonisbatman]

Still can't believe The Batman 2 won't even start shooting for another year 😑 I like that we're getting the Court of Owls but I think that would've been better used as a trilogy ender as an ultimate threat and we were getting more of like a Professor Pig and Joker here in part 2.

[@bamm86]

"What was important to me was to find a way to take these pop icons, these mythic characters that everybody knows, and translate it so that Gotham feels like a place in our world," he added. "We might push to the edge of fantastical, but we would never go into full fantastical. It's meant to feel quite grounded.” Matt Reeves Somebody should tell Matt that Christopher Nolan already did that. And while you’re telling him that, also tell him that the Riddler had thee dumbest “riddles” and was an overall weak villain. Oh and tell him that his Batman is just a Temu Christopher Nolan Batman.

[@kenjisparks]

How about Gabriel Macht (Suits) as Hal Jordan? He’s pretty close to the age range and for those who have seen Suits he is absolutely cocky and full of himself, especially when he’s right. Just right for Hal. And he’s already done superhero fare before (The Spirit).

Not every movie needs a sequel and I never felt the Joker warranted one. I like the first movie too.

[@Mirakulus9]

I honestly don't mind the older Hal mentor with a rookie John Stewart. That could be a great dynamic and obviously Stewart would be the GL to take center stage in a possible future Justice League like the animated series. I heard Timothy Olyphant was on the short list for Hal too, and he would be a great choice.

[@nubby2790]

I would love if Olyphant was cast as Hal, more than the others. I would also love Pine too if he wasn't already Steve Trevor.
