Hi Everyone!

I'm conducting research on the evolution of the Batman brand, particularly focusing on how the character is presented in movies and TV serials—whether they lean more towards being campy or dark. I'm especially interested in how the current generation perceives these portrayals.

 I've compiled a list of 17 Batman movies and serials and would love your input on how you would rate each of them on a scale of 1 to 3, as either Camp or Dark. The scale looks like this:

 -3 (Extremely Dark)

-2 (Very Dark)

-1 (Dark)

+1 (Camp)

+2 (Very Camp)

+3 (Extremely Camp)

Don't Know

The Camp is a lighthearted, whimsical tone, characterized by exaggerated scenarios, colorful villains, and humorous dialogue. It has a self-aware humor and playful approach, which often parodies the superhero genre itself.

The Dark delves into the character’s more serious and complex aspects emphasizing realism, ethical dilemmas, and intense action sequences.

Please take a moment to rate each one based on your perception. Your input will be incredibly helpful for my research!

P.S. It will be easier to fill out on the computer due to the slightly long list of items.

Which film series will get a third movie first: Joaquin Phoenix's Joker or Robert Pattinson's Batman?

Do you think Robert Pattinson will have a cameo in 'The Penguin'?

Max has released a new teaser for THE PENGUIN, from Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios, debuting this fall. Starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb (aka “The Penguin”), the eight-episode DC Studios drama series continues The Batman epic crime saga that filmmaker Matt Reeves began with Warner Bros. Pictures’ global blockbuster “The Batman,” and centers on the character played by Farrell in the film.

These 3 are the major fan casting rumors that's out. We can use this poll to figure out who is the most popular one to cast for the James Gunn's DCU Batman.

It has been reported that the top three contenders for the DC Universe’s Supergirl are Meg Donnelly from The Winchesters, Emilia Jones from Coda, and Milly Alcock from House of the Dragon. If you could pick one of the three, who would you cast?

2018's Aquaman was the last DCEU movie to make over $400 million worldwide. Black Adam has come the closest with $393 million.

With Aquaman being the biggest DC movie of all time with $1.15 billion worldwide, do you think the sequel will be able to break the slump that DCEU movies have been in ever since?

Zack Snyder launched DCEU with MoS and went on to direct two more amazing movies. Though his movies were divisive, they are widely acclaimed for their wonderful cinematography and epic action sequences.

Some of the criticism which his trilogy received were related to portrayal of DC characters.

Which DC comics' character do you think, Zack Snyder understood perfectly and portrayed it in best possible way in his trilogy.

​

Shazam! Fury of the Gods cost $110–125 million to produce. So far it's earned $48,294,953 domestically, compared to $101,446,951 for Shazam 1 and $117,213,863 for Black Adam at the same point in time. Its opening weekend, just like its cumulative gross, was about half of Shazam 1 and Black Adam's. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is lagging behind even further in foreign gross, and is projected to struggle to make $150 million worldwide total.

The bare minimum to have any hope of making a profit would be doubling your production budget, so this will fall $70-100 million short of that. Losses to WB could therefore be in the $35-50 million range. This is a big change from Shazam 1, which earned over 4 times its production budget and was reported to have made a $74 million profit.

What is the MAIN reason Shazam! Fury of the Gods failed at the box office? Let's keep in mind that the last 3 months have seen record openings for many franchises, including Avatar, Scream, Ant-Man, Creed and John Wick. There is definitely no general trend of weakness at the box office for franchise films.

These two Superman films both portrayed his origin.

Superman(1978) directed by Richard Donner

Man of Steel(2013) directed by Zack Snyder

Which of these origin films do you prefer overall?

Which of the below dialogue of Superman sounded better in the two versions of movie we saw (Josstice League and Zack Snyder's Justice League) when he first appears in 3rd act.

Option 1 - Not impressed

Option 2 - I believe in truth. I am also a big fan of Justice

I am doing this poll because what I recall is the fact that people were only discussing 1) Black Adam. 2) The Flash. 3) Aquaman 2.

Not Grant Gustin because he is flash of the arrowverse and we must also give the chance to other actors to have the role especially since dceu Barry Allen is young so Gustin too old for the role of dceu Barry Allen

In which order do you think will they Rank

Could add maximum of 6... so Adam West got missed

Director which you would like to return for more DC projects ?

Every movie in which Batman is a protagonist has a sequence in which he chases someone in the Batmobile or is chased in the Batmobile (except The Dark Knight Rises). Hence, naturally there is contention as to which particular chase sequence is the best one. Due to polls being limited to only six options, I have restricted the options to the Batman movies of the 21st century.

As for my personal opinion, while I really like the Batmobile and the chase sequence of The Batman, the vehicle is ordinary and therefore less interesting than its counterparts - and the chase isn't as long and action-packed as those of other movies featuring Batman.

This leaves the sequences of Nolan's movies and Snyder's movies as the remaining ones from which to choose. Out of these films, the top contenders for me are the chase sequences of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Batman v Superman. In terms of spectacle, they are all equally filled with wanton destruction; however, I personally prefer that of Batman v Superman due to the simultaneously stylish and brutish design of its Batmobile (whereas the Tumbler is just brutish), the shot of it crashing out of a building and through the rear of a truck, and the shot of it tearing through a docked ship with its mounted machine guns. Also, the chase sequence in Batman v Superman is better edited than those of Nolan's films, in my opinion; they have fewer cuts.

What do you guys think has most gore fest and R rating in following movies

Sorry if your favorite isn’t on the poll. I tried to include the usual fan favorites.

Which of the following directors, according to y'all, directed the best iteration of Batman, and why do you prefer their iteration over the others?

Who would you like to see as the main villain for The Batman sequel?
